The place has an extensive wine list and we loved the lovely Pinot noir that was their special on the list. They have lots of European wines but they are also a great spot for trying the local product. The fresh fish was really delicious crisp and well done. The appetizer plates were also delicious. The place is relatively small, so make reservations. It was a hot day when we were there, so be prepared as there is no air conditioning, but you definitely feel like you are in a bar somewhere in Eastern Europe.

We got the Margherita pizza to share as our starter which we both really liked, my husband ordered the risotto for his main and he loved it! I ordered the tagliatelle al ragu which I thought was good but would probably try something else next time. We both ordered the tiramisu for dessert which I thought was the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yum! We had excellent customer service and we enjoyed this restaurant very much. I would recommend Fratelli to anyone wanting an evening out of delicious Italian food.

The service was lovely and although the menu offered so many delights, we both opted for the fish of the day. Our drinks came quickly, our table was in the corner of the front section and it was a great place to sit, watch the world got by and chat. Our meals came soon - even though we hadn't said we had a time constraint - we had grilled Terakihi fillet with fennel, olives and a beautiful salad. We also ordered a side salad of Rocket and Parmesan. We didn't need a dessert or coffees. By the time we left (just before 7pm) the place was fairly busy, but sitting where we were, we hadn't realised. The entire experience was very enjoyable. I am so pleased my friend chose this place. Thank you Fratelli - I'll be back.

They make a great, strong flat white and have a great breakfast menu. I ordered the two free-range eggs on top of sourdough. The sourdough bread was soft on the inside with a light crunch on the outside. The poached eggs broke into a delicious orangey, yolky goodness all over the buttery bread. Delicious and just what I needed to start my day of exploration around Wellington!

This is a super fun spot to try multiple wines. It is called the wine station for a few reasons -…read morethere are stations of wines that you self pour using a card that records drink prices owed at the end. You also have the option to buy a pre-paid card if you'd like to avoid over-spending (as I imagine it's easy to do). This bar is also near the tracks and the railway does pass by. Perhaps this spot was once a station stop? I did not ask. Wines are a win. Atmosphere is also cool - couches and low tables: great for socializing. There was a small menu. I ordered a meat plate, but the cuts didn't impress me and we weren't served forks. But - with that said, I don't think people come to this station for a meal. It's wine all the way! And what a great way to try all the delicious wines of the fantastic Marlborough region. Close to the town center, we easily walked back to town after our tasting.
