Fratellino's - Brea

This place was recommended to us, but it was the biggest disappointment ever it took us over an hour to get our meal. The lasagna was like soup. The Italian sandwich had nothing Italian meat in it whatsoever, and the service was awful. The only thing I can say that was good was the appetizer that was brought to us 40 minutes after we ordered an ice tea we were so disappointed.

Been coming here for years. Staff is friendly, food is great, very clean restaurant. If I were to recommend a dish to try it would be their eggplant parmesan it's delicious!

We celebrated my Uncle 's birthday with the family. There were nine of us and our server was amazing! The food was hot and delicious. Bonus it was under 200 for all of us and we had adult drinks! We will be back!

Worst service ever. Got there at 5:30pm last night and the restaurant was 1/3 full with lots of open tables. The waitress could not follow basic food orders. We were a party of 4 and only 1 order came out correctly. These were straight forward, uncomplicated orders. When the orders came out incorrectly, the food runner argued with us that it was our fault and wanted to shove the food at us regardless of it being incorrect. Our server then returned with another round of argumentative tone by insinuating we had been at fault. I was a server trainer for 8 years at some of the biggest names in O.C. I speak straight forward and in basic serving/kitchen terms. These were easy orders and the staff cannot follow them. These servers have small stations and very easy drop off’s. There is not a lot of pre-meal work for the servers to do so it is beyond my comprehension as to why they cannot follow basic food orders, retrieve drinks and manicure tables. We sat with a table full of empty plates and multiple, empty glasses for the entropy of our meal. We had to ask 4 times for a glass of water. 45 mins into the meal and after another plea for water, she finally dropped them off. We waited another 30 mins for a check and to request boxes. The food was great but your entire staff needs to be retrained. We should have reflected her poor service by a poor tip but felt it better to leave this review as an example to the manager and business owner that they need to do some basic retraining.

Great food that is reasonably priced, the service was quick, the server was friendly and he check on us multiple times. The atmosphere was nice, not too noise and the decorations fit the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would recommend.
