Fratelli's Italian Seafood - Middletown

Our server, Maggie, was fantastic! She took the time to explain the specials and frequently checked in on us. Both my husband and I ordered the crab cakes, which were enormous—each weighing 10 ounces—and they were the best I've ever had. We ended up taking some leftovers home. This was our first visit (we live nearly an hour away), but it definitely won't be our last. I can’t wait to try some of the pasta dishes and the tiramisu next time, as I was too full to order it this visit.

I was truly impressed by the service at this restaurant. Having managed restaurants in the past, I appreciated the strong teamwork displayed by all the staff. Although we had one main server, it was remarkable how every employee contributed—clearing plates, checking if we needed another drink, inquiring about our experience, and neatly packaging any food we had to take with us. This was our first visit, and we will certainly be returning. The food was outstanding, and I can't imagine you could go wrong with anything on the menu. Absolutely fantastic!

We ordered the crab dip, seafood platter, and seafood pizza, and each dish was a five-star experience. The quality is exceptional—this is the standard that Olive Garden aspires to achieve. The service was outstanding. Our waitress,

Everyone in our party enjoyed their order accept me. I am picky with Italian food as I grew up in Europe eating authentic meals with much of my time in Italy. My entree was over salted and very greasy. The atmosphere is a little bit loud and reminded me of modern Olive Garden. The atmosphere of the restaurant was not Italian and I felt pushed through the dining experience, like getting there, seated, eat pay, now get out! I have nothing against those Olive Garden or Fratelli’s food dining establishments but for me it’s not the Italian dining experience. The service was very nice and friendly but seemed overwhelmed.

Wow very yummy and nice Big Papa portions. I knew when the house salad came it was time to “Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride” or in this case loosen that bad boy. When the entree arrived (pork shank) I think I accidentally tinkled. So good you won’t be disappointed. Forgot to take picture of dinner entree. Think I got dizzy lol.Food: 5/5
