    Love this place for a casual Italian meal in a low-key environment. It's small (and dark) but if you hit it at the right time, before 7 or so, it's no waiting. My #1 choice is the chicken and artichoke lasagna. My cholesterol level just shot up 10 points typing that but it is SOOOO good. Heart the seafood lasagna is also. Other than that I've had the salad with grilled shrimp (very good) and the rigatoni supreme (shrimp. sausage, chicken on pasta with red, white or a combination of sauces). Loved the rigotini with combined sauces. The meals include a salad of iceburg, olives, tomatoes and a garlicy/parmesan dressing that is very good. Plus there's the hot bread and butter. For the price ($16-18 entree) it is a great option in the RIdgeland/NE Jackson area.

    Used to be good food and good service. Tonight's visit was far from satisfactory. I got the Combo Pizza and my wife got the Spinach Artichoke dinner. My pizza was skimpy with no meat at all. Her dinner had absolutely no spinach. She was half way through with her dinner and still no bread. I finally got up and found our waiter to get some. The people at the next table also had problems with their dinner. The wait staff seemed to be young and inexperienced and the kitchen was obviously having problems.

    I LOVE Fratesi's. If you want something rich and super filling, do yourself a favor and get the seafood lasagna. My husband and I both love that and they also have a really nice alfredo. It's a pretty dark restaurant, but they have chianti bottles on the table with candles in them which makes it decently romantic as well. The tiramisu is also nice. If you go at a busy time, you may have to wait in the hallway which is a little awkward since it's not a huge space.

    Doesn't happen very often, but I wanted to go back even just the day after coming here. My brother happened on this place when driving through a couple weeks ago. Recommended it, and rightly so. Doesn't look too Italian, but the food far surpasses any pre conceived impression. You're not going to impress anyone too much by bringing them here with the decor: cheap, dark, romantic, candle lit, but the food makes it well worth it.

    We happened upon this place one night and really liked it. The food is very homey and unpretentious; the red sauce is smooth and slightly spicy and just perfect. The spaghetti is great, the eggplant parm is great, and the chicken canneloni is great. I always get their house salad with tons of green olives and their homemade vinaigrette dressing. The tiramisu is home-made and is really great. If you want down-home, Southern Italian food, come here.

    Really like this place for a low key dinner. Yes, it's dark inside but it adds to the ambiance and atmosphere in my opinion. Both the house dressing and their in-house made Caesar dressings are delicious, not to mention the garlic butter and bread. Entrees are moderately priced and I usually leave with a togo box if I don't split my meal with someone. Service can be very hit or miss as they have some younger people working on their waitstaff who sometimes aren't as attentive as they should be. Check out the cheese fritters appetizer and seafood lasagna entree. You won't be sorry.

    I had eaten at Fratesi's quite a bit years ago, but had not been in some time. My wife and I went by for dinner on a Friday night. Short version: Overpriced, below average service, food just OK, don't order Shrimp Scampi. The house dressing is the sole standout, but order it on the side! Long version: First of all, parking is not great. When we came in, there was mass confusion amongst the staff regarding who would seat us. Three different people asked how many were in our party. Then they argued about where to seat us. It's dark in here. We saw many patrons using cell phone flashlights to read the menu and their bills. The waitress was very nice, but had no idea what the specials were, did not seem to know the menu, and only made a few infrequent appearances at our table. My iced tea glass suffered long dry spells. The warm bread was very good. The house salad came with a huge amount of minced olives on it, which I don't care for, but to each his own. I have loved Fratesi's house dressing since the first time I had it years ago. It is absolutely fantastic (as long as you like garlic)! However, both salad bowls were literally half full of this dressing. I would suggest you ask for dressing on the side! You will love it! The food was just OK. I ordered the Rigatoni Supreme which was a generous helping of rigatoni topped with a good amount of grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, and grilled sausage. All of the grilled items had good flavor, but the red sauce was a bit bitter and needed salt. Some of the pasta on the edge of the plate that did not get topped with sauce was cold. My wife ordered Shrimp Scampi. It consisted of 5 shrimp and a plate of pasta. Most of the pasta had no sauce at all. It had no garlic flavor. It was basically buttered noodles with a few shrimp on top. This dish definitely needed help! With no appetizers, one tea, one water, the two entrees (which include salad) came to a total of $39 and change. I really don't think it was worth that much. Had the food really stood out, I would have been happy to spend that, but it was just OK.

    A dive with mediocre food at best. Don't bother. There are so many other places to eat w better food and definitely better atmosphere! If I could give less than one star I would.

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.
