Fratelli Italian Restaurant

This place definitely has an old-school, cozy vibe — it kind of feels like you’re stepping into your grandmother’s dining room. While the decor might not be the most modern, the service was warm and attentive, and the food was good. It’s a comforting spot if you’re in the mood for a laid-back meal with a homey feel.

Ordered delivery from her last night. I will start by saying the food quality is phenomenal. We ordered the crab stuffed trout, seafood fettuccine Alfredo, calamari, and fried mozerella to share. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The food had a lot of flavor and the portions were in line with the price per dish. Well worth the money spent. I look forward to dining here in the future.

This is a great family-owned restaurant. The best food always comes from non-franchise restaurants. And this place is the proof. The food served here is delicious. Excellent selection of main dishes, salads, and desserts. Nice interior and great friendly service.

Delicious food obviously made from quality ingredients that are prepared with care served in a conspicuously clean dining room and attended by a motivated staff. I've been here twice for the brunch and found everything on the bar to be well prepared. Little details are apparent. The shrimp are plump and not overcooked, the bacon is crisp, and the sunny side eggs have the perfect jammy yolks while having completely done whites. The bar attendee keeps everything full and the waitstaff keep everything exceptionally clean even during rush times. This has become my go-to when in the NoVa area.

The food was really good..the service was great and they were very attentive. Was pretty full off the appetizers but still ate my entree. Got the steak with vegetables, and the vegetables were seasoned really well. They serve warm rolls with oil and cheese. Had a great lunch. Did not disappoint and would recommend. I have also eaten here for brunch, which was really good as well..

We were here years ago and said no to a second visit but it's been years so we gave it another go. The experience was better. It wasn't busy at all for a Friday night and the service was excellent. It's not inexpensive, I got spaghetti and meatballs, the least expensive thing on the entre menu at $22. Not a huge portion but decent size, $22 felt high but food costs and labor are what they are. My wife got a bowl of minestrone soup for $9. Bread basket with 4 rolls comes with dinner, I'm a sucker for bread. Food was good though. We also got a carrot cake and a Carmel something, cake. I liked the carrot cake, my wife thought the Carmel one was just ok but they had a nice selection of desserts for around $8 each, a decent portion though so no complaints. They have their own parking lot and the dining area was clean and quiet. I say you try it and it looks to be a family business.

Fratelli’s is my number one choice of Italian food and driving an hour to get it is worth it every time. The atmosphere alone is what sets this restaurant apart from many others. The smooth jazz playing softly in the background, the fresh roses all throughout the restaurant, and the beautiful paintings everywhere to see. It is truly such an authentic experience. Perfect for date nights! My favorite dish is the beef ravioli which I get spicy and they know how to make it just right. Manuel, the owner, is a sweet, charming and sincere man that takes honor in providing the most delicious Italian food there is in the DMV.

If only there were 10 stars. This is a local favorite for my husband and I. The chef makes the noodles in house from scratch and if that wasn’t enough to convince you to go here, I have been searching for a tiramisu as coffee filled as my moms (I like the lady fingers soaked in coffee) this place is it! They also come out with examples of all of their other desserts on a tray. After you finish your meal. Every single. One of them is delicious. You cannot go wrong.
