I went awhile back with a friend and I thought I'd share my thoughts. If you're going to ask the public to put aside the jarred sauce and boxed pasta and pay around $15 per plate, they better feel as though they had some of the best Italian to be found. Unfortunately, Fratello's falls short. Everything was good- just not spectacular. I think that their particle board tables with nice linens on them is a metaphor for their food, too- it looks nice, but just doesn't have the ""bones"" of something extraordinary. Plus my friend and I split a dish and the split charge was $3.95. I think that getting a pasta dish for a nearly 30% add-on is a bit over the top. The service was a bit indifferent- the server stood in the hall with our appetizer chatting with a coworker before serving it to us- mind you it was for about 45 seconds to a minute, but it isn't something a patron should see. I won't be going back.
Pros: convenient
Cons: price, service, food
