Fratellino’s Italian Restaurant was in Fullerton for 10 years before they relocated their business to Brea. They are well-known for their take-out Party Trays. I’ve passed this restaurant many times in the 15 years I’ve lived in Brea. It was our first time dining here....Read More

Solid hearty Italian. The garlic bread is served right out of the oven and very well may ruin the rest of your meal after you eat it all! Antipasto was fresh with great Italian dressing with some real depth. Veal picatta...Read More

Lunch ordered through DoorDash for the beef lasagna itself was great but the marinara sauce was way too salty. Was craving for some tiramisu while it became the worst decision for this order, tasted like some freezer cake from grocery store which you may get...Read More

Fratellino’s offers a cozy, authentic Italian experience. The spinach ravioli was fresh and flavorful, and the angel hair pasta with meatball was perfectly cooked—a comforting, delicious combination.

Honestly I am shocked this place has about 4.5 stars. I hate bashing on businesses, but personally I really did not enjoy the experience. Although I will say the waiters/servers were polite, they took forever to do many things. Waited about 20 mins for the...Read More

It’s shocking that place has a 4.5 rating. All the food is frozen and reheated. The meatballs were bland and tasted slightly off. There is no Italian dish. Instead it’s build your own pasta, which is fine but for an Italian restaurant it’s strange. The...Read More

Prices have gone up so it's not as affordable as before, but excellent food for a $18-22ish per meal. Can't go wrong with their lasagna, chicken marsala, or manicotti with alfredo. Any entree can be turned into a "complete dinner" with minestrone soup or dinner...Read More
