Worst service ever. The staff is horrible and unprofessional. Stay away from this place. Also be aware that gratuity is included on you bill.
Very Very Sad :(. My husband and I were so excited to try out a new place in Oldsmar. We always go to the AMC and eat at Bd’s Grill so were interested in something new. BIG MISTAKE. While the sauce was yummy our chicken parm was horrible. The chicken was pounded flat and breaded. Okay. But should it taste like a frozen patty? It was spongy and chewy. While they claimed it was freshly pounded and breaded every morning, you could totally tell it was NOT freshly cooked. At best I’m thinking it was stuck in the microwave. Two bites and that was all I could handle it was so nasty. We had hoped to have this as a place we could bring friends before a movie, but it was a sad experience.
My husband and I went there tonight. The server did not tell us the specials. We order and appiteizer and asked if it was a good size portion she said yes when the calamari came out it had no flavor and for $ 6.95 there was not enough on the plate After I ordered my food I heard the server at the next table explain the special I would have order one of them if we were told what the specials were When I got my food it was very bland the chicken looked boiled I had to add salt pepper parmesan cheese and hot pepper flakes to get flavor. I will not go back nor recommend it to anyone. We had one entree one Stromboli and one appitizer and a pitcher of beer it was not worth $43.00 dollars.
Will not be going back. House dressing on salad pure oil, main course very very bland and one waitress for entire restaurant……20 mins just to get the bill. Will never go there again. Shame since the restaurant itself has an unusual look to it and for being hidden a corner was a pleasant surprise to walk into. Please Fratelli, change chefs and get additional staff for peak hours.
Grouper Francese?!!. Not!! How about haddock francese!! Frozen chicken patties for the chicken parm!! Shall I go on? Soup is not made there!! Frozen! Need I say more?!!
This is the Italian restaurant I’ve been looking for ….. I retired to the Clearwater area 4 years ago, and moved to neighboring Palm Harbor one year ago. For all of this time I’ve been searching for a small family-style Italian restaurants like I ate in so many times back up north. Fratelli’s is the real deal folks. I found them through the coupon site Restaurant.com, and checked out all of the online reviews which were excellent. They deliver fresh-made Neopolitan-style recipes that are so good, with great service at great prices. Fratelli’s is tucked just a block off of Tampa Rd. in a quiet spot. Furnishing are very nice and typical of so many great family Italian restaurants I remember, with plenty of tv screens playing sports channels and a bar you can eat or drink at.I visited for the first time today with 2 family members. I ordered the shrimp marinara, and they ordered lasagna and a cheese and ham calzone. Within a moment of ordering an order of garlic bread landed at the table. Delicious! The entrees were served with a choice of soup or salad, so I chose pasta fagioli (pasta and bean soup). So fine and just like I tasted so many times back home. My family members split a side salad with plenty to spare between 2 people, and it got a big thumbs up. Service during the meal was prompt and attentive and our drinks were never empty due to the attention from the great wait staff.Our entrees arrived just on time, and the portions were so big we decided to share all around to make sure we all sampled each dish. The lasagna was the finest I’ve tasted in Florida, thick and rich with sauce and cheesy goodness.. The calzone crust was thin and crisp, and we each agreed it was almost pastry-like….far from so many other Italian restaurant attempts that end up far too thick and doughy. My shrimp marinara had that earthy goodness I’ve longed for, devoid of the overly sweet taste of marinara sauces at so many Italian restaurants. While I shared some with the family members, I barely finished half of the dish and brought the rest home for lunch tomorrow!Soon after our email ended, the owner stopped by to check on our meal and chat with us for a few moments, welcoming us to his restaurant. A nice touch and a great finish to a find meal.While we enjoyed the dinner menu during the lunch hour, they have a great selection of lunch specials under $6 that appear to be outstanding deals…you can hardly eat fast food at their prices. I noticed their website has coupons for the lunch specials as well as buy one/get one entree deals they may offer.I’ve been researching the online restaurant review sites diligently for the past few months for places near me, and have had great luck checking out the highest rated restaurants. I rate my reviews on how well any restaurant meets, fails or exceeds my expectations. Fratelli’s definitely exceeds my expectations and solidly earns my five star rating. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back soon.
They got a new cook in there, and the food is lot better, food was ok before now it’s alot better…. be back again
