Fratelli’s Ristorante / Pizzeria

Only my third time visiting but feels like we’ve been going there for years. Again, I ordered my favorite appetizer (not a menu item) prepared enthusiastically by their expert chef. As in previous visits, the mussels in white wine and garlic were again AWESOME! From the owner, to the chef, to the bartenders and servers, we are continuously treated well whenever we stop by this neighborhood establishment. Stop in soon and create your own culinary experience!

Love Fratelli’s! Wife and I had a good time there once again. Food, service and ambiance excellent. Always have my wife’s favorite wine and super cold draft beer. Great to sit at a little two top by the window and watch people walk by. Very enjoyable evening.

Overrated. Both food and service were wanting– there are several superior choices for Italian fare or pizza in Ft. Mill/​Tega Cay.

Good food, good beer and wine selections, some reviews are comparing the pizza prices to chain pizza, there’s a huge difference in the size and quality of why your getting here not to mention they use real cheese. Right there in my top 10 restaurants.

A moderate Italian restaurants serving decent Italian in the Fort Mill area. Pizza options are very overpriced, especially for simple speciality pizzas (Margherita) and cost per additional toppings on others. Service was just mediocre. Limited outside seating.

The food is okay, but the prices for the Italian specials were crazy high for nothing special. The ambiance is lacking, and the service was terrible. Our waiter didn’t even care that the wrong sauce came on our chicken parm… He didn’t even offer to correct it. Save your money and go elsewhere!

Great food! Went with a group of people and we had the chicken parm, deep dish pizza and shrimp scampi. Kearnen our server was great!

I thought from some of the reviews this place would be horrible. We went here because we had a coupon and were very pleased! Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The raVioli and fettuccini Alfredo were exCellent. The only coMplaint I would have it’s that they do not serve a pizza for one person, only 14 inch and bigger. We definitely willv come back when we ate in the mood for Italian. Also the atmosphere and lighting had a great romantic feel. It would be a great place for a date Night.

Well, in this case, it’s hard to even write a review, because we never actually ate! But we’ll review the service, in this case — which was truly nonexistent. We came at 1:00 on a Sunday. There were three other customers in the restaurant, and three wait staff plus the hostess. We were seated, and after 15 minutes, no one had even come to serve our water, or ask for a drink order. So we decided to cut our losses and walk out. As we walked out, no one asked us what was wrong — just the hostess cheerfully saying, «have a nice day!» We did — at another restaurant.
Just an FYI. We decided to give Fratelli a try this time, after almost a two-​year interval. Last time we were there (again — it was two years ago), one of us bit into the plastic microwave pull-​off dish cover. That experience, combined with this non-​service, means we won’t be coming back.

This was okay Italian food. Went here on a date. Wine selection was good. I thought many of the items on the menu were crazy overpriced. For instance the standard pasta fare was reasonable but then other times like piccata etc were almost twice the price.
I had the manicotti which was very good a solid 4 stars and my date said his lasagna was excellent.
The service was ok until check time where we waited quite a long time for the check. My main issue with the place is that it doesn’t seem to have an identity. Either be an upscale Italian eatery and class it up or be a family Italian restaurant. It’s very weird to have $ 10 manicotti and then $ 22 entrees that are pretty standard Italian fare. A lot of people go for the pizza and there were quite a few families there while we were there enjoying pizza.
Again… This was odd as the ambiance is more romantic upscale– darkly lit, candles on tables, waiters in white shirts ties and black aprons. Just needs an identity and then the food quality and prices to match.

Really nice Italian food in the heart of Baxter Village! We had a wonderful lunch here with fantastic service from Kyle our waiter. Ordered the Chicken Piccata and it was really gooooood! Wonderful to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine and watch the passerby’s! Check it out!

First Italian food since moving from California. Loved it! I had the baked ziti with sausage, Char had eggplant parm with capellini. We definitely will come back, can’t wait to try the meatball sub, I have a childhood standard I measure by and still looking for something like it. If the red sauce on the baked ziti is any indication, I have found it!

I tried to stay positive about this place. After all, it’s in Baxter Village, and things in Baxter Village are supposed to be above average, right? But when you watch your waiter spend the greater part of your dining experience flirting with two girls at the bar instead of checking on your food or drinks the experience really goes downhill fast. We were one of TWO tables the guy had, yet the food came out cold and another waiter had to fill our glasses. The food was pretty good, not the best I’ve ever had, but for the price you pay you expect to get it warm at least. I don’t think we’ll be back.

I don’t rave about too many restaurants, but Fratelli’s deserves accolades. The food is fresh, authentic Italian, the best in the Charlotte-​area. As one raised in the NYC metro area, believe me, I have had a lot of Italian food – and my wife is half– italian, and at family gatherings we usually feast on outstanding Italian dishes. Fratelli’s is just like Mama makes! The pizza is authentic NY/​NJ pizza– thin crust, great sauce, and the sausage is the best around. Joe and his staff aim to please. And don’t forget to have a cocktail at the bar – I recommend the Cigarette Girl! Salute!

We frequent this place often. Typically we get pizza which I find to be the best in the area. The pasta dishes are good too, nothing exceptional but good. It’s convenient and there’s never a wait (which is great since we have a baby with us!). The service is always great. Very attentive. The prices however are a little high for what they serve and their location. But still very good! We enjoy this place a lot, esp during the nice weather when we can sit outside.

I genuinely do not know how this place stays in business. I’ve lived in the area for nearly 10 years and only went because someone had given me a gift certificate. The prices are ridiculously high! I got a small side salad for around $ 5 and it was about 2 bites worth. The pizza is nothing special. In fact, I picked it up and by the time I got home (just a few blocks away), it was already cold. And I know it was «fresh» because I was there waiting for it to finish up for quite a while. It was a Saturday night and it was about empty. Again, I cannot figure out how this place has stuck around for so many years. Save your time, go across the road to Empire Pizza!

We received a Groupon for a gift so we went again. The prices are still ridiculously high for what you get and the quality of it.

Company Christmas Party night. We reserved spaces for our company which was about 55 — 60 people on a normal weeknight and they probably should have closed the place to the public or at least put a sign up that there was a large group inside because I really felt bad for the customers that weren’t in our party.
We had tables setup with appetizers to start. Chicken Fingers and Mozz Stocks straight off the Sysco truck. They weren’t terrible but to call them Meh is a stretch. We had a choice of 4 or 5 Entrees. I had the Chicken Parm which is pretty standard. It was an edible chicken breast with ok tomato sauce and melted cheese on top. They brought out the entrees in waves meaning they chicken parm came out first then after about 10 minutes the eggplant etc… which was weird since nobody ate together. I understand it was a large group so they did what they had to.
The bar was a hot mess all night. Drinks took forever and when they came out anything «mixed» wasn’t done right. Sweetie had a grapefruit martini that had so much simple syrup she had to request extra grapefruit juice to dial it down some. With a big group that was drinking as much as we were we would have appreciated experienced bartenders. They also had 3 «hostesses» huddled around the podium for most of the evening. I can’t stand that, they only had about 5 tables open for other guests not in our party why the hell did they need so many hostesses? Eventually they started pitching in refilling drinks and clearing tables.
Like I said this was a special party of a large group so my review doesn’t reflect a normal business night.

I ate at Fratelli’s on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was very quiet, but the service and food were excellent. I ate the chicken piccata which was the perfect portion size and very tasty. My lunch date had the meatball sub which was also very good. The prices were excellent, I will definitely be returning to Fratelli’s in the future!

Horrible! The prices were ridiculous!
This place won’t be open much longer. No wonder we were the only people in there!
