Fratellis Restaurant - Avon (NY)

5 /5 Nancy Peak: There were four of us and everyone loved their meal. I ordered the Cacciucco (seafood). Omg it was delicious! I didnt realize that the full portion was that huge. I hardly put a dent in it, since we had also ordered appetizers. I will know next time to order the half portion. Great leftovers for another meal!

3 /5 Victoria DeWald: The dining experience I had had last night was not my first. Fratelli’s food is always amazing, top notch. However, only dining room area open is truly not conducive to family, friend, group conversation. It was not enjoyable and left me not happy.

4 /5 John Collins: I eat at the bar. Service there is great and I only get a couple items: tripe soup or escarole, beans and sausage. I love the bread. I havent had everything but what Ive had I think other dishes are ok (not amazing) but generally breaded items are soggy. Portions are too huge but smaller portions with more focus on flavor would be better. Who needs an entire box of pasta for their own dinner? Carbonara does not equal Alfredo. Just saying Its NYC pricing with weird discounts for cash payments. Its not terrible but I have a strong feeling they could do better.

1 /5 Erika OBrien: Fratelli’s: my favorite restaurant until tonight. I had been waiting to go for so long & then we went. No wait for a Friday night - kind of odd. The warm bread was amazing! Our server was wonderful and attentive. I have nothing good to say regarding the food other than the bread. Long time favorites were gone from the appetizer menu. No little neck clams or shrimp cocktail. The clam chowder was runny with no flavor except for a strong fishy one. The seafood dish I had was full of pasta and short on flavor and seafood. The juice (?) it was in was very plain and needed seasoning. There were a lot of chopped clams and a few chewy shrimp. Some giant scallops and very small mussels. I hardly ate any of it and would rather throw it away than have it for leftovers, even at $38 a plate. We spent way too much money on terrible food. I actually never want to go there again which is so sad. The food used to be flavorful and delicious. Every bite was to be savored. This was pathetic. Yes, cutting costs in today’s economy makes sense. But taking away good food and maybe a good chef does not make sense at all. You can still provide good food. I was always willing to pay good money for the prior delicious food, and still would. I thought I was tonight, but it was just a waste of money.

4 /5 Daniel Alexander: I enjoyed the nice, beautiful atmosphere in Fratellis. The menu in this authentic Italian restaurant is impressive. I ordered the linguine with vodka sauce, and the dish was delicious! The portion sizes are absolutely huge. I ordered a half plate and still took a box home. I would have given the food 5 stars based on the great taste. However, the dish I had was a bit oily, and I believe it gave me some stomach distress. Overall, my first impression is that this is a nice place. I will try something else on the menu next time I visit Fratellis.
