Fratelli's of Hampstead

“A M A Z I N G!! Real, great quality and the service . . . Riley was awesome. He MADE our dining experience with great care and attention. The homemade pasta is unbeatable! Who ever thought that carrot cake and cheesecake could be so light and fluffy??? Delicious! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!!”

“We were very impressed with Fratellis Italian Restaurant. The quality of food was high- the amount of crab meat in the crab cakes was astounding! Our drinks were delicious and creative. The service was warm, friendly, professional, and attentive. The atmosphere is a nice balance of upscale and cozy. The prices were more than reasonable for the quality of food and portion sizes. This place is a gem in an unexpected location. We will definitely return!”

“Food excellent, server was lovely. Orange crush tasty and fresh. We were celebrating an anniversary. Unfortunately we had ants at the table. We didnt make a stink about it but did grab someone to tell them. The hostess moved our table but no manager acknowledged us which I thought was strange.”

“We came here on a Sunday in February for dinner. A friend had told us about this place so we had it flagged on the map and we happened to be nearby. We sat a the bar. The bartender was busy - he was slinging drinks the entire time we were there. I wake to say his name was Michael but I could be wrong. He was personable and attentive. We ordered calamari to start. It was very good, not overly breaded and cooked well. We decided to split the shrimp and scallop luciano. We upgraded to a shared salad and we also received a basket of rolls. The salad was good. I should have asked for dressing on the side- I wasn’t thinking about it and it ended up being a little too much for my presence. I picked the pasta dish because the sauce - Italian herb and fresh basil butter. I liked the idea of the linguine being house-made too. The pasta was good. I wished there was more basil in it. Even tho we shared the pasta, we still had some leftover to take home. The atmosphere was casual but I lively. The bar was full and the rest of the restaurant was busy. This was a Sunday on a holiday weekend so I’m not sure of this is typical or if it was just very busy because of the holiday. Even though it was busy we didn’t have a lot of wait times for the food. Prices were comparable to other similar places we have been. Parking was easy. It was a big lot. We would maybe come here again if we are in the area.”

“I heard alot of very good things about this place and I had high expectations. I really really wanted to give this place a 5 star, the food was great, but that was about it. The reason I feel the need to give it a 3 is first off, we made a reservation for 6:30, we even got a text reminding us of that time. We were not seated until 7:10 and we didnt see a waiter until 7:20 to get our drink and food order. It took another 5-10 minutes to get our drinks and salad/bread. We ordered mozzarella sticks, they're 18$, and we got 8 small sticks that tasted store bought, I do not recommend them. The main course, chicken Chesapeake was delicious, but not worth it for me with the wait and price of everything else. I don't see myself coming back on my own dime. If they can get their wait times better, I would up it to a 4, but the "reservation " is basically a wait list. Lastly we were shorted $1.19 of change when we got our change back. Really disappointed, but would come again to give it a second chance if I was not footing the bill.”
