This is now my favorite restaurant in Madison! Great food and decent price!
I can tell the chef puts thought into balancing textures and flavors in a way that feels surprising yet not overdone.

We had never been to Fratteli's before - and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Everything from the intimate environment to the attentive staff to the marvelous food was exquisite. I cleaned my entire plate. Only complaint was I wasn't offered more bread - I love bread haha. I think my husband and I have found our new date night spot! Looking forward to coming again very soon!

We went to Fratelli's to celebrate a birthday. I made reservations the day before for 7 pm and we were seated within a few minutes of arriving. However, our reservations did not mean a good table--we were seated at the absolute worst table in the dining area. As you can see from the pictures, we were next to the kitchen entrance, which was also where the servers stand and watch to see if customers need anything. The gentleman you see was as close as if he were seated at our table and could hear every word we exchanged during the meal. The stream of servers in and out of the kitchen was constant; there was never more than 3 or 4 minutes without someone going through a swinging door that made a loud "thwop" everytime it opened and closed. Two other tables at the opposite side of the restaurant remained open from our arrival until we left, so why were we not offered one of those tables, where our meal would not have been in a high traffic, noisy area. This would have been the LAST table I offered someone who would end up spending nearly $100.
The food was delicious, but our server stopped at our table only two times after we ordered. While our dirty dishes were removed quickly, no one offered more bread. We ordered a bottle of wine, but glasses were poured without offering a taste first. Again, this was pricey enough that I expected the service to be top notch.
I don't believe in leaving dissatisfied without speaking to the manager, so I asked to speak with them after paying the bill. The woman I spoke with told me she was sorry, but offered nothing to compensate for the experience we had. She did tell me it wasn't acceptable and that she would discuss my concerns with the server. If it is bad enough to discuss with them, it is bad enough to offer the customer a discount.
Don't bother with a reservation--it means nothing and if they can't seat you, having to go elsewhere won't be the worst thing that happened to you.

Fratelli’s is absolutely delicious! A cozy Italian joint with an authentic menu. The wait staff and chef could not be friendlier. You can’t go wrong with any of their homemade pastas.

Great local Italian restaurant with very tasty food and super friendly service. We tried the linguine and pesto dishes. Both dishes were great. The side salad was very good and nicely presented. We will be back!
