Fratello’s

This place is excellent. The chicken parm is amazing, as is the fratellos sauce! This place is a definite must try!

Never had bad experience until tonight… Been here many times. Walked in at 6:00 not busy few open tables 4 seats open at bar. We put our name in for a table of 2. Hostess told us any minute So, over hour later after 2 martinis and half bottle of wine complained to manager & hostess about not being seated yet, they blew it off said they can never predict Hostess didn’t admit that she told us any minute. (Tell your guess a hour or longer we would have left) Obviously we were skipped because few names after us were crossed off. we we’re so disappointed how they handled it!!! Not a away to treat your regular customers!

This place is fabulous! Kind of small and cozy. Wonderful menu, I love chicken Fratello and my husband usually gets chicken rollatini. Also artichokes Fratello! If you are looking for a fabulous dinner and a break from the chains check this place out — you’ll be glad you did!

Fratellos is an old school classic Italian restaurant located on the West Side. Located close to the lake, Fratellos is a smaller place but gives off that home feel atmosphere. Place is a little dated, but what matters is the food was pretty solid. I recommend anything with their homemade Fratello sauce on it.

This is our fourth time dining in, and we have ordered take out once. We have never been disappointed! Awesome atmosphere and delicious food! You must dine here at least once. Do not let the exterior turn you away. I promise a welcoming surprise inside!

We went here last weekend for the first time and got a table right away. The service was great the food was great. I got the Chicken Parmesan and I couldn’t finish it all, which is rare for me. The only bad thing I would say about this place is that the tables are too close together.

I went to Fratello’s recently, and I have to say this is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. When we walked in, the atmosphere is very relaxing with a bar to the right hand side of the entrance, and the dining area was very clean, and situated nicely.
We did not have to wait more than 3 minutes to be sat at a table for four. Once we were seated, our server was very prompt with taking our drink orders, and we were given glasses of water (it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s nice to not have to ask). Before our meal orders were taken, we were given a basket of fresh Italian bread, and a dish of garlic butter spread (of which I am pretty sure came from heaven). Our drink orders from the bar arrived in a timely manner, and were fresh and cold.
Our food got to the table in a very short time as well. Very fresh, hot, and made exactly to order. I don’t think I have ever eaten a plate of chicken alfredo that was better than this! I also had the opportunity to taste the chicken Fratello (I highly recommend this dish) and the pork tenderloin (Highly recommended as well), which were both outstanding. Our server was very prompt with making sure our drinks and waters were full through the duration of our visit.
From what I could tell, the price of the food and drinks was well worth the quality of food they offer. I would definitely suggest this restaurant to anyone who is a fan of Italian food, or any one who is looking to try a new place in the Avon, Ohio area.

This was and always will be on my list of restaurants to eat at when I’m home for a visit. I’ve been eating here since I was a teenager and have never had a bad meal. The service is always top notch and professional. My favorite meal is the chicken rollatini. It is chicken with a breadcrumb stuffing that is dressed in Fratello sauce and marsala mushrooms. It is rich and satisfying. The entrée also comes with a side of pasta and their pasta sauce which is very unique and delicious. The portion is huge so I either take half to go or I split with my mom. I love a local Italian option where I can count on good food and service.

My wife and I go here about once a month. It is our favorite date night location. The staff is excellent… the servers never change, and they are extremely knowledgable about the wine list. We’ve tried many items on the menu, but I’m stuck on the veal saltimbocca, and my wife won’t deviate from the chicken fratello. Being from Avon Lake, I’m happy such a quality restaurant is in our own town.
The décor is extremely outdated… but the food makes up for it.

In an area with many options to eat, Fratellos blows them out of the water. My service has always been wonderful, the food far beyond compare, and deserts to die for! I love the eggplant!

Excellent meal and service. Always consistent. Busy restaurant. No reservations taken for under 6 people. Well with the wait!

Great «white table cloth neighborhood joint»! Our service was great; our waitress was classy yet warm and casual, and her recommendations were spot-​on. Food was delicious and arrived quickly; huge portions for veal/​chicken entrees meant boxes for both of us. Wine list is extensive; we opted for a great bottle of Sangiovese ($ 22, though most of the wines are $ 30-​$ 50.) Off the beaten path but worth the drive. Can’t wait to return!

One of our favorite places to go when visiting Avon! The veal and chicken Fratello are beyond good. We add the mushrooms and it really makes the dish that much better. The shrimp Alfredo was awesome very creamy and lots of huge shrimp. Our server Bill is a true professional, amazing server and such a nice guy. He always remembers us and takes great care. If you haven’t been this is a must go. Ignore the outside and old school feel the food will delight.

The outside building might not look like much, but this is by far the best Italian restaurant on the west side of Clevelsnd. Portions are huge and prices are great !!!

Love Fratello’s. By far the best Italian on the west side. Fratello sauce is to die for… dinner salads are fresh and not run of the mill. Inside nothing special. To go is excellent …

We love fratellos! It has a really great ambiance, small and authentic. The food is excellent as well. They have great specials and can pretty much put any kind of pasta together even if it is not on the menu. They have a fantastic eggplant rollatini (not easy to find in cleveland). It is listed as an appetizer but they turned it in to a meal for me. Extensive wine list is also a plus.
Make reservations, they are always busy!

Ignore the outside look and go on to the ambience. Lovely inside.
Large portions — artichoke appetizer, chicken Fratello (Marsala) excellent served with pasta or spaghetti squash tonight (tasty). Extensive wine list too.

love me some fratellos. i love any kind of italian yumminess. however, anything with the fratello sauce is a plus in my lovely opinion. my most recent obsession, the chicken rollatini. hello, buttery goodness. two huge chicken breasts rolled and filled with stuffing and then topped with mushrooms and that sauce as previously mentioned. can i bathe in this sauce. kidding. well not really. it is THAT good!
pros: yummy food. good service. good wine list.
cons: small bar. small dining area. they do not take reservations.
overall i think fratellos knows how to make some heavenly dinners.
i think that they could update their dining room, it seems a little outdated to me, but if youre going just for the food then by all means have at it. don’t let a little outdated décor stop you in your tracks!

Attentive and warm service (Debbie made our night) my side car wasn’t tasting right (seems that bartender missed cognac on it) food was tasty although seemed that the Fratello sauce was on more than half of the menu, still we enjoy our meal with our lil’ daughter.
If you know about wines let me tell you they have great selections at affordable prices. We’ll go back in the future!

Try their new Escargot Diabolos. Hot and delicious! As usual, their Veal Saltimbocca is is die for. And my fav is the Shrimp Fratello; a lovely treat for which there is no equal.
