    Great "white table cloth neighborhood joint"! Our service was great; our waitress was classy yet warm and casual, and her recommendations were spot-on. Food was delicious and arrived quickly; huge portions for veal/chicken entrees meant boxes for both of us. Wine list is extensive; we opted for a great bottle of Sangiovese ($22, though most of the wines are $30-$50.) Off the beaten path but worth the drive. Can't wait to return!

    Ignore the outside look and go on to the ambience. Lovely inside. Large portions - artichoke appetizer, chicken Fratello (Marsala) excellent served with pasta or spaghetti squash tonight (tasty). Extensive wine list too.

    My wife and I go here about once a month. It is our favorite date night location. The staff is excellent....the servers never change, and they are extremely knowledgable about the wine list. We've tried many items on the menu, but I'm stuck on the veal saltimbocca, and my wife won't deviate from the chicken fratello. Being from Avon Lake, I'm happy such a quality restaurant is in our own town.

    We love fratellos! It has a really great ambiance, small and authentic. The food is excellent as well. They have great specials and can pretty much put any kind of pasta together even if it is not on the menu. They have a fantastic eggplant rollatini (not easy to find in cleveland). It is listed as an appetizer but they turned it in to a meal for me. Extensive wine list is also a plus. Make reservations, they are always busy!

    Attentive and warm service (Debbie made our night) my side car wasn't tasting right (seems that bartender missed cognac on it) food was tasty although seemed that the Fratello sauce was on more than half of the menu, still we enjoy our meal with our lil' daughter. If you know about wines let me tell you they have great selections at affordable prices. We'll go back in the future!

    This was and always will be on my list of restaurants to eat at when I'm home for a visit. I've been eating here since I was a teenager and have never had a bad meal. The service is always top notch and professional. My favorite meal is the chicken rollatini. It is chicken with a breadcrumb stuffing that is dressed in Fratello sauce and marsala mushrooms. It is rich and satisfying. The entree also comes with a side of pasta and their pasta sauce which is very unique and delicious. The portion is huge so I either take half to go or I split with my mom. I love a local Italian option where I can count on good food and service.

    Love Fratello's. By far the best Italian on the west side . Fratello sauce is to die for ...dinner salads are fresh and not run of the mill. Inside nothing special . To go is excellent ...

    One of our favorite places to go when visiting Avon! The veal and chicken Fratello are beyond good. We add the mushrooms and it really makes the dish that much better. The shrimp Alfredo was awesome very creamy and lots of huge shrimp. Our server Bill is a true professional, amazing server and such a nice guy. He always remembers us and takes great care. If you haven't been this is a must go. Ignore the outside and old school feel the food will delight.

    In an area with many options to eat, Fratellos blows them out of the water. My service has always been wonderful, the food far beyond compare, and deserts to die for! I love the eggplant!

    Try their new Escargot Diabolos. Hot and delicious! As usual, their Veal Saltimbocca is is die for. And my fav is the Shrimp Fratello; a lovely treat for which there is no equal.

    love me some fratellos. i love any kind of italian yumminess. however, anything with the fratello sauce is a plus in my lovely opinion. my most recent obsession, the chicken rollatini. hello, buttery goodness. two huge chicken breasts rolled and filled with stuffing and then topped with mushrooms and that sauce as previously mentioned. can i bathe in this sauce. kidding. well not really. it is THAT good! pros: yummy food. good service. good wine list. cons: small bar. small dining area. they do not take reservations. overall i think fratellos knows how to make some heavenly dinners. i think that they could update their dining room, it seems a little outdated to me, but if youre going just for the food then by all means have at it. don't let a little outdated decor stop you in your tracks!

    Save your money and go somewhere else. We ordered two simple pasta dishes to go and they were not good. The sauce was too spicy for a basic sauce. The meatballs were dry with no flavor...the sausage wasn't better. For $11, you would expect better. I would never go back.

    Chicken Rollatini is to die for! I had not been to Fratello's for over ten years but decided tonight to give it a try. Really glad I tried it again. Great food. The house salad is not your typical simple salad and the meatballs were very home made tasting. Definitely going back soon.

    Wow, only 3 reviews of Fratellos? This place has been around for 20 years and its an awesome italian restaurant. You can't be in the restuarant business for 20 years and not be good! I've been going here for years and have never had a bad meal or experience. If your looking for a great homecooked italian meal, this is the place. Nice atomosphere, clean, and great wait staff and owners. Try the Chicken Fratello and the Artichokes with Fratello Sauce. The Fratello sauce is great, its a lemon based sauce which is to die for. Yes, I did just say that, I'd put it on everything if I could. This place is a little hard to find and there are no windows, but once you go in, you will know you arrived at the right place. Well worth the trip for a great italian meal.

    My wife and I love this place and have visited it regularly for years now. Just a great little place in such a brutal industry. -The food is great and always comes out piping hot. -The atmosphere is good. Can be a little loud at times, but it is small after all. - The real winner for us is the service. We have never been to a restaurant where wait staff turnover is low to non existent. That tells me that the employee's are happy with management and that's the kind of business we want to spend our money at. All the servers are professional and know what they are talking about if you have any questions. PS: My age is 37 and I have no Grandkids.

    Its 6:00 pm on a Saturday night. Do you know where your Grandparents are?!?!?! I do. I'd bet my ass they are at Fratello's. Holy old people. I was surprised an AARP card wasn't required for entry. Its a small restaurant and the decibel at which people were talking was outrageous. I guess I should have expected this will all the hearing aids in house, but it made our dinner almost unbearable. At one point during my meal I heard someone say very loudly "call 911!" and I scrambled to dig my cell out of my purse. I was about to hit send when I realized that someone at the table behind us was telling a joke and the 911 reference was the punch line. You don't joke about that shit with this kind of crowd. The food was eh. Your typical Italian, but very bland. I had to douse my entree with Parmesan and red pepper flakes just so it had some flavor. I also thought it was pricey for what it was. Fratello's secured a spot on my local letdown list. There are plenty of other non-chain Italian restaurants in the area that blow this place out of the water. If its still in business in 40 years and elderly stomach prevents me from eating anything with actual taste, I may be back. But until then, Peace...and Depends.

    Dear Fratello's: You've changed my life.......before you, the only Italian restaurants (if you can even call them Italian....) on the west side that I knew of were the trifecta of chains: Brio, Buca and Manero's. Many a time I drove past and didn't think of stopping b/c of the fugly strip mall exterior. I admit I was a bit turned off. Then, one night we decided to check it out and Kate, our new favorite bartendress, sealed the deal. She holds court at the bar and treats you like family/a regular. Now we saddle up to the bar and are hooked. We are sorry we missed out on Fratello's goodness for a year on the west side proving you can't judge a book by it's cover!

    This restaurant is located in an old strip mall (very small) on Electric Blvd very close to Lake Erie. Right around the corner from Close Quarters, which I have already reviewed. An Italian restaurant, the menu is extensive and the food above average. Even with reservations you are likely to wait, but there is a small bar which makes the wait fairly pleasant. As I said, the menu is extensive and predictable. The wait staff is good but the noise level in the one dining room can get a little overwhelming at times. Portions are large so you can expect to take something home. A good choice for a meal if you do not want to drive into the city and quite agreeable to my wife and I as it was only about 3 miles from our house. someplace to try if you are out and about on the west side.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
