Fratellino’s Italian Restaurant: Authentic Italian Dining Experience in Brea, CA

Once again great service and delishSpaghetti. Always a favorite... Thank you for a great meal... Debye Payne

It's hard to find great Italian food but this place blew me away! My favorite was the lasagna, the chicken parmigiana and ravioli were amazing as well. Tried the mozzarella sticks and calamari and didn't survive to take pics unfortunately. The service was great, they helped with all our questions and the interior felt like an old school Italian hole in the wall!

My favorite Italian restaurant! It has excellent service and a cozy ambiance with the nice decor. The food is also delicious with a variety of choices and complimentary wine with dinner combinations.

I have been coming here for years! The food is always 10 out of 10!! I personally have a tomato and eggplant allergy so I LOVE that they have a pesto AND creamy pesto option. It was my partner's first time and he absolutely loved the servings of the food. He was able to feel full after the meal (he's a bottomless pit). Our server was great and he did the right amount of check ins. He was very insightful and patient. This Tuesday night we went was very mellow. A couple large parties with babies but that was no issue for us. It was a pleasant date night and now added to our monthly rotation.

This is a solid option for a family-owned Italian restaurant. It's almost like having dinner at a grandparent's house. It's a relaxed atmosphere, and I like that for a Wednesday date night with the hubby. Typically, I try not to eat Italian in restaurants too often because I tend to cook a lot of pasta myself at home, but the nice thing about this place is that they have some of the more complicated dishes on the menu like manicotti and lasagna. They even do a combo that you can have a little portion of each. Bonus: you don't have to wash the little casserole dishes with baked cheese on them. I tried the spinach stuffed shells with a pink sauce and it was quite tasty. To start they brought us complimentary carrot sticks with pepperoncinis and ranch dressing. It's a little different, but we ate them so I guess they know better than we do? Maybe it'll catch on and become the new thing? To make it a complete dinner for $3.50 you can add on salad, garlic bread, and a small wine, and ice cream to your entree. The Italian dressing was quite tasty and I ended up using the garlic bread to dip in the dressing. It had a bit of a kick to it with the garlic bread. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream to finish it off, with leftovers for tomorrow, all for $50/2 people. That's a date-night win.

Always love this place! Great food and the owners are excellent community people! Eat here!

Always the best service by Blake thank you so much for bringing our food out quickly being the only server that was working the lunch shift. The lasagna was amazing thank you so much for always giving the best service and such a delicious meal! Have a beautiful day :) Aloha

Great service! From the host, to the waiter, the service was impeccable. They treated me with respect, were kind and tentative with my dinner needs. The waiter even offered a cheaper option for the things I wanted to order. I can't rave enough about the service. 10/10 The food was good. But it didn't blow my beanie off lol The food was satisfying. It filled my belly. I like that they offered complimentary bread and carrots! The carrots came with ranch dip. The carrots were fresh and ranch was homemade. I loved the ranch. The garlic bread was good too. Nice and warm! I ordered a small Caesar Salad and the shrimp Alfredo. The Caesar Salad was good. The Romain lettuce was fresh and it was tossed with just the right amount of dressing. 10/10 for the salad. The shrimp Alfredo was alright. A bit underwhelming though. The shrimp itself were great! Cooked perfectly. I loved the shrimp on it. 10/10 The Alfredo sauce for the fettuccine Alfredo was meh. It had no flavor. The Alfredo sauce didn't taste like it was made with butter or cream. Tasted more like flour. So, definitely not good on the sauce. The shrimp saved this dish. The fettuccine Alfredo by itself would be a pretty low rating. 5/10 For dessert, I ordered a cannoli. Because I love cannoli! I couldn't help myself. I got one of the mini ones and it was good.
