    I'm obsessed with Fratelli's lobster ravioli - I get it every time I go. The restaurant feels so cozy (definitely mom & pop vibes) and all the staff I've interacted are so pleasant. I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu soon!

    Don't judge a book by its cover. My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Fratelli's on Van Dorn in Alexandria Virginia today. From the outside... yea it looks like a locally owned restaurant no special pomp and circumstance. Inside it's clean and nicely appointed. Then you get to the food and honestly this rivals some of Washington so-called best Italian restaurants which I will not name here, but if you're Washingtonian and you've been here a while you know them well and they're not as stellar as they used to be. The Chef owner Manuel greeted us as my husband ordered his second enteee for lunch Veal Parmesan after having a delectable nice size portion of Lasagna. Yes that right his second entree. He's a big eater. I had the chicken Parmesan. All three entrées were amazing pasta cooked to perfection.... the cuts of veal and chicken, amazing, and the sauce out of this world. They even make their own in-house dressing which we purchased a separate bottle of to go. If you're used to Washington's normal fair of Italian restaurants, and you really want something different and amazing, don't hesitate....just go!

    I've been meaning to update my review for some time, but better late than never, I suppose. Fratelli is not a glamorous Italian restaurant (if you want that there are ample places in Downtown DC) but it has a quaint and inviting atmosphere and is very much a family-owned business with reliable food offerings. I would recommend the lasagna or the lobster ravioli but there are a variety of other good options and an expansive menu from which to choose. As I mentioned in my earlier review, take out or delivery orders are also made and packed with care, but it's also a low-key place to dine in as well. The staff are friendly and attentive too. I have yet to try their brunch but hope to do so in the future.

    This review is long overdue. I have eaten here several times over the years, although I have actually never eaten at the restaurant - I have only ordered in and done carryout. So, I cannot speak to what it's like to dine-in. I have never had any issues ordering my food, the people that have taken my order over the phone have all been pleasant and have never messed up my order. I have tried the lobster ravioli, the Seafood Veneziana (combination of shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels sauteed in cream sauce over fettuccini), Linguini alle Vongole in white sauce (clams in white sauce) and the Capellini Pescatore (scallops, shrimp, mussels, and clams in a tomato sauce over angel hair). The food here is EXCELLENT, everything is cooked well, well seasoned and delicious! I did not care for the Capellini Pescatore, I think it was the tomato sauce for me, but I don't knock the restaurant, it's just not my fave, I still ate it all though, LOL. The dishes all come with bread and for a dollar extra, you can get a side salad, all good. This spot is fantastic! The inside of the restaurant is a little dated, but I do look forward to dining in at some point soon. If you can't tell, I will definitely be back!
