Description

Specialties

At i Fratelli Ristorante & Wine Bar, we’re known for our distinctive thin-​crust pizza. But our house-​made red sauce, meatballs, and lasagna have been guest favorites for over twenty-​five years. The secret is quality ingredients and tried-​and-​true recipes which are handmade in small batches.

Join us for a bowl of spaghetti or a platter of Veal Parmigian. Our Chicken Alfredo features a sauce rich with heavy cream, Romano, Parmigian cheese and garlic with just a pinch of nutmeg. Our Lasagna is 16 layers of crumbled meatballs, pasta, provolone, and ricotta. Try it monster style with mushrooms, meat sauce, and melted provolone.

Try our Pesce Soffocato, a grilled redfish filet served with a spicy cream sauce with crawfish and shrimp. We offer small plates for sharing such as Rosemary Lamb Chops, Crab-​Stuffed Mushrooms and Calamari. Our Strawberry Spinach Salad with warm bacon dressing, and our Antipasto Salad, are classics. All our dressings are made fresh in-​house.

History

Established in 1987.

i Fratelli means «the brothers» in Italian. The i Fratelli concept was founded in Irving in 1987 by brothers George, David, Mike, and Darrell Cole. The Coles still own and operate the company, which has expanded to include i Fratelli Ristorante & Wine Bar and ten pizza take-​out and delivery outlets located throughout the Metroplex. Two of our pizza locations are Franchise operations, and we continue to grow.

The core values behind the concept of the original i Fratelli Restaurant remain the foundation of our company. We continue to take pride in the details which make our family-​owned restaurant special. We strive to offer great value and professional service in a warm, relaxed setting.

Our own dough recipe is handcrafted fresh daily, and we make our lasagna, sauces, salad dressings, and meatballs from scratch. It is not uncommon to catch one of the Cole Brothers mingling with a glass of wine at the restaurant, or catering a school or church event.

This was excellent! The service was on-​point and food was delicious beyond expectations. We tried a little of everything… cheese and fruit platter is enormous and very well worth the price, Cajun sauce and meat sauce we’re the best I’ve tried in a long time, Alfredo was a little boring, bread and amazing garlic butter were addictive, lasagna and chicken pram we’re perfect! We will absolutely be back and would recommend to anyone who loves good Italian food!!!

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Kriston was AMAZING! Spot on with her suggestions on the antipasto, wine and pizza. This was exactly the experience I was hoping for tonight after a long day! I appreciate this, iFratelli and hope she stays with you a long time! Thanks so much! See you soon!

I’ve been eating here for decades. This place has degraded to the point I will never darken their door again. You can get better sauce from a rago bottle at the store. The Alfredo sauce was like water and had no flavor. This was for a to go order and was so bad I didn’t even call the restaurant because what ever they would have tried to do to resolve the issue would have been from the same bad chef (and I use that term very loosely) that it would have been a waste of time. I replaced their «dinner» with a pbj that would please any 5 year old and threw the entire dinner in the thrash. Minus the bread which I have to my dog.

This is a dishonest restaurant. We are quite knowledgeable about wine, since they are claimed to be a wine bar, we ordered one of their better bottles. The first hint was when the waitress asked if we wanted to sample if it was «clean». After was tested and drank, it seemed a bit off, I looked at the bottle and it was a different vintage than what they advertised. When the bill came, I asked the waitress for a menu to confirm then asked for the manager. When she came, I explained the issue and that it was unacceptable, then came the kicker, she said: «yes I know, the waitress tole me». They are trying to get away with it. They discounted it $ 10.
I would give them 0 stars if I could. We liked going there but not any more.

i Fratelli’s has continued to be my favorite restaurant. I have been going there with my family ever since I could remember and is consistently delicious every time I go there! I went with my family back when it was in its previous location and have stayed with it in its current location. I always get the spaghetti with red sauce and meatballs and it never disappoints. The house salad is a must-​try if you’re a newcomer. Also, I will occasionally get a to-​go pizza after my meal so I can eat the pizza for lunch the next day. I love going there and it’s my #1 choice for my birthday dinners. You will not regret going there! I recommend getting the the house salad, the spaghetti, or a pizza!

Had lunch here today. Super delicious! I had Chicken Piccata and Marscapone Spinach. Ate at the bar and bartender was so nice and attentive. Kept my tea glass filled and delivered my food hot. Will go back again and again.

Steak tips with gorgonzola came out well, and the small cheese tasting plate was bigger and better than expected. We were also happy with the fettuccine alfredo, the lemoncello cake, sausage and peppers plate, tiramusu, and caprese salad. But, that wasn’t butter. some sort of spread with garlic powder mixed in, maybe?

4.5 stars almost 5. Service has been 5 stars both time I have been here. Food is has been good. I had the pizza which was better than their delivery. I will be picking up my pizza from here from now on. They have a pizza delivery chain but this restaurant does not deliver. Entrees are mostly close to $ 20 with generous portions. Large wine selection and they offer tastings. I don’t eat Italian ever but this is the spot I will go to with the convenience of living less than 5 miles away.

We come here every so often and get the same thing every time: thin crust pizza half Italian sausage and half meatball with a ceasar salad. This location consistently delivers fresh, flavorful pizza that’s loaded with toppings. I usually choose to skip italian sausage because fennel sucks, but at ifratelli, the seasonings compliment one another. The meatballs are also tender and yummy.
The service at this location is always great. They’re very attentive and super chill. Once our waiter accidentally had our toppings mixed together and he comped our entire pizza. What? ! It’s definitely our go-​to pizza spot.

We had the Antipasto — half order, which was a fresh combo of greens, mozzarella cheese, sliced tomato, olives, drizzled with some olive oil. Sebastian made the suggestion of the Pesce Soffocato. Brilliant! This man really knows his stuff, he even made a wine pairing suggestion to bring out with the course. The tiramisu is a must have. The manager Matt was very professional and came to say hello and once again after to make sure everything was just perfect. Everything I needed was taken care of almost without even have to ask. The bar has been raised from what I’ve currently known from I Fratelli. If you want to impress someone, these people are here to help. Thank you I Fratelli.

Unilocal, I love you because you give me the confidence to try new places. I have driven by I Fratelli for months and finally decided to do my Unilocal research and try it. So glad I did! Their thin crust pizza is DELICIOUS, and you can tell the toppings are fresh. The lasagna was pretty good, although not overly memorable, and their peach bellinis and limoncellos were very refreshing (don’t know how much alcohol is actually in them, though!). We have found a new date night spot when we want awesome pizza– thanks!

Food is lacking in flavor. The pizza is the only decent thing on the menu if you like thin crust

Ah, Las Colinas… why do you have so many lunch choices but lack on dinner?
My roommate and I decided to try I Fratelli after dodging salads and sandwich shops in the area. This restaurant seemed legit for dinner amid the lackluster options. Upon walking in, the interior looked crazy fancy. Like, I’m-going-broke-after-eating-here fancy. As I sat down and looked at the menu, it’s actually pretty cheap… very cheap.
Serving sizes were pretty enormous as well. I had the eggplant lasagna, which I pretty much split into 3 different meals because it was too much. Also, I thought it was a downer that the entrees don’t come with salad. At least mine didn’t. Most Italian restaurants would have the salad inclusive with the meal. I thought my meal was just «okay» tasting. I’ve had better eggplant lasagna at other restaurants. If the food matched the aesthetics of the restaurant, maybe my rating would differ.
Btw, to the waiter who «forgot» to charge me for my glass of wine and mentioning it upon handing me the bill, your tip reflected that. Thank you ;-)

Had an amazing experience here! First off I would like to say that the management team is on point. I planned a brunch here for a few of my debate students and the service was over the top! First off when I arrived, the host was extremely pleasant. She took me back to where they had a private room set off for us. That was a complete surprise. The tables where set beauitful. Our two servers wher so nice. One was in training and the lead waitress was amazing. We where not rushed and where allowed to kind of sit back and enjoy the afternoon. We ordered serveral things. The salads where fresh and yummy. If you want a quality lunch, please come here where you can a quality meal for a bang for the buck.
The wine selection here is what I think that are best known for. They have serveral displays of their wine selection all over the venue.
Great for small and large groups.

i Fratelli has become one of my business lunch go-​to spots when visiting clients and prospects in Irving /​Las Colinas.
I always appreciate a restaurant that consistently offers great atmosphere (the décor and the background music set a nice tone), stellar service (hostess, wait staff, bussers are spot-​on polite, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive) and, of course delicious food. And, to boot, all of this comes at a very reasonable price point.
Fratelli’s lasagna is a specialty item, and definitely worth a try. My favorite entrée is the Sausage Sicilliano — delicious Italian sausage in a rich and flavorful tomato sauce over penne pasta. Try this and I guarantee your taste buds will dance a jig on your tongue as you savor the flavor experience. Side salads (garden and Caesar) are available in nice portions and consistently fresh. Lunch today was the entrée chopped Greek salad. I appreciated that the balsamic dressing was served on the side. The salad was fresh and delicious; I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fratelli also offers an extensive wine list. Given that my patronage has thus far been over lunch I have not partaken. But I will.

This place is very busy with locals
Prices are reasonable
The food and menu are just okay
Pizza came out burnt
Eggplant bruschetta was mediocre
Salads were underwhelming
I did like the flavor of the veal Marsala although the veal was tough
The wine list is reasonably priced but just okay
Would I come back– I hope not. Too many other places to eat at in Dallas

I always love coming here especially when I bring someone that never been there before. So, I went out on this date and the guy just loves pizza so I suggested I Fratelli’s. When we arrived the host greeted us she was very pleasant she stated it was a 5 min wait and gave us a pager. Great no problem, it was less then 5 mins before we were seated even better. I’m not going to go into detail about my date because OMG!!! Thomas our waiter probably thought the same. Thomas was excellent and suggested two good wines that I enjoyed The Château Michelle and Dr Pauly. Thank you Thomas!!!
Although, my date didn’t go so well it didn’t even matter because I had good food and lots of wine to relax me through the rest of the date. Ill be back but no doubt probably dateless. I need more good pizza and nice crisp wine. O Yeah the calamari is delicious especially with the spicy marana sauce, I wanted to drink that sauces by itself it was so good!!! Yummy in my Tummy!

We usually dine at I Fratelli’s every few months. Last weekend, we ordered some apps and cold beer. They are usually always busy.
We opted for shrimp cocktail, crab stuffed mushrooms, and bake artichokes. The shrimp was pretty sad-​looking. Like the frozen shrimp I buy in the grocery and they are limp when thawed. $ 7 for 6 thawed shrimp when I could have bought the whole bag in Kroger. On the other hand, the crab stuffed mushrooms were really tasty, as were the artichokes. Both were served piping hot, which I appreciate.
The service was sub-​par. Even as the waiter was introducing himself, he was looking at other people – kind of strange. We ordered our drinks but eventually had to flag him down to order food. Once we received our order, he did not return to check on us. At least a manager took the time to do so.

Okay first things first when you first walk in the smell of the place is a weird one. It’s not uncomfortable it’s s just not pleasant.
The table was broken and kept moving around pretty annoying but we were seated in the back.
Now the service was not to bad. The waitress could have been more peppy but she did her job.
The Apitizers were a very great start the calimari was good the steak was a little burnt and i really wish the waiter would have asked how i wanted it but ours fine. Unfortunately the Apitizers were the high of the meal. Supposedly they are well Known for they’re pizza guess what… i agree it is pretty well Known but it dose not have the great rep that they say it does. Very thin crust, to much seasoning of some kind, very very crusty not something i enjoy all over my pizza. The price of it was not worth it.
Food is not to bad but i would stay clear of the pizza!
