Reviews for Fratelli's Ristorante Italiano in Auburn, AL
The owner/chef is from Rome so it's almost a given that the food is delicious. The Zuppa de Broccoli is the best I've ever had.
When we arrived at 5:00 we were the only ones in the dining room, but they had two very large tables reserved plus a number of... four tops reserved. I'm glad we arrived early because I can only imagine how slammed the kitchen got once the two large partiesarrived and they had 25 people to service at the same time. The service we received was friendly and welcoming, and thecomplimentary breads with garlic oil dip was phenomenal! Everything from the mozzarella sticks and calamari appetizers to thechicken saltimbocca and pepperoni pizza were delicious. Read more
Excellent steak sandwich on fresh baked bread! Have to try it!
Reading the reviews beforehand I thought there was a chance to try decent Italian. I was wrong and left wondering what food... experience others have had to give this location 4-5 stars. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and professional.Unfortunately, the food, especially for the cost, was not something I would ever recommend. We ordered veal parma, fettuccineAlfredo w shrimp, two salads, and bread knots. The quality was something I would expect from a fast-food type (at best) vice asit-down style Italian restaurant.

Authentic and Delicious. This Italian is the most authentic in Auburn and does not disappoint. There is such a variety on the... menu and the chef even takes requests! We are so happy to have found this place! The wait staff is friendly and the wine isdelicious! I definitely recommend the montepulciano! We will be back! Read more
The worst 65$ ever spent! We got no bread or salad dressing.. and my husband's chicken parm is basically soup and the lobster... ravioli is soup as well and very over done small pieces of lobster! Horrible! The one thing anybody hates is to spend that typeof money and not get half of what you ordered or for it to be not good at all! I've worked in restaurants for 8 years and wouldnever send food out that looks or tastes like this or missing anything. Not for the prices! Read more
I'll start off by saying, if this review was soley based on my meal, it would be 1 star. However, my husband and father in law... enjoyed the taste of their food. The bread was good, but the service did take a long time. About an hour to get our food afterwe ordered. The wait staff was very nice and did their job well. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs on a Friday night, when theyshould have been fully stocked with "popular" dishes. My food came out about 20 min after everyone else's food, and no joke, mymeatballs were the little frozen ones you get from Walmart (or I guess any grocery store). I've had those plenty of times, anddon't hate them, but I do hate them when I am going to an "authentic" Italian restaurant. I expected good sized, yummy, homemademeatballs, but I got little frozen almost processed ones that I'm pretty sure were thrown from the bag to the microwave then tomy plate. I was highly disappointed. I wish they had just told me they were out so I could've ordered something else. I went upto the wait staff, asked for a menu, and read "homemade" meatballs. It was not denied though, by the chef, that they werefrozen. Anyway, I was very disappointed in that. My waiter was wonderful and my family enjoyed their meals, although it took awhile, I realize that they are understaffed. **This is my 2nd time going and the first time we had a good experience** Read more
Great service. Atmosphere is fine. Wasn't my favorite fettuccini Alfredo but I'm picky when it comes to that dish.
