Fratelli's Italian Kitchen

Best Italian food is back in full swing it looks like! You are able to enjoy the best food around at their table. They are allowing dine in eating after a few months and best believe we will keep coming back!

Take out only right now. Food was pretty good but unfortunately not something I'd return to get again. Nothing overly wowed us EXCEPT the meatball. That was definitely the best meatball I've had in a while.

Half our party were first timers other had only done take out previously. So glad we came for New Years Eve dinner. All the dishes we tried pizza, penne kalamata, pesto tortellini, chicken Alfredo, summer salad, baked ziti, bruschetta-garlic bread with delectable sauce balsamic gaze) were Italian comfort food to the max! Our group was so pleasantly surprised by the Fallbrook Fratellis label red that we bought 2 half-off bottles to take home. New Years Eve at a good local restaurant would be expected to be crowded and they were down a no show server We had pleasant service but the lobby was packed when we're we're leaving about 6:30. We will definitely return!

I had requested a piece of cake and candle stating it was my husbands Birthday when I made the reservation and No one acknowledged there was we even a birthday. We had gone in and there were 6 booths , 5 which were occupied The 6th one was empty and owner was hesitant to put us there just in case a larger group came in Im guessing . . I would understand if it was packed but there was only 5 Booths and all the tables were empty. We would have felt odd . We hadn't even taken off our coats and the owner asked us if were wanted anything to drink. I m not a fan of being rushed. If I remember correctly I am the one that extended my politeness first by adding him his his Holiday was. He frowned saying that he didn't have any help and he had to work . He didn't know we're in the same boat but didn't let him know that the second we started talking. We made reservations 6 months ago and the he basically said the same thing . I felt bad then . I didn't this time. He needs to lighten his mood for his customers and make them feel like they belong . Six months ago he only had one type of beer 6 months later , still does. The food was sub par. I myself had the chicken piccata which was drenched in oil. Husband had chicken Parmesan . This time it was processed last it was fresh. We're in the food business and this is unacceptable. I ended up leaving a pity tip. That will only go soo far with people. We know Good Italian food and the food the ambiance and the service were all just BLAH ! Christine Carlo

This place is our go-to for Home style italian. We accept the $15 corkage fee and bring our own bottle of wine. The Oceanside summer sald is very flavorful and the pesto dipping sauce and bread are excellent starters. My wife always gets the eggplant parma and I have to get the lasagna. This place never disapoints!
