Fratelli's Ristorante

I've been here a few times and really enjoyed it. Fratelli's has become my go-to Italian restaurant. Service is consistently good with helpful employees, timely drink refills and recommendations as needed. The decor is a very class vibe and they do offer bar seating as well. They start you off with a warm bread basket. It's delicious. Be careful not to eat it all and fill up lol. Splurge on the house salad if your meal doesn't come with it. Their salad is superb! The house made dressing is absolutely amazing, it also has cheese, and a green olive. Mix that baby up and enjoy. I prefer to come at lunch as they do offer a lunch menu. I've had the meatball sub, tutte mare, the beef tortellini and a special offering seafood ravioli. Everything has been delicious! If I had to pick, I would hands down get the tortellini again! I really love alfredo sauce and the first time I ate here they offered "white sauce". It is a cream base sauce, but not alfredo and I'm obsessed with it. I will absolutely order a dish that has the white sauce. You MUST dine here if you are in the area. So then you are probably wondering why I gave 4 stars... My last visit I came with a friend that has Celiac. We had eaten here before the diagnosis and we knew they had gluten free pasta. She had also looked it up on a cool gf app she has. When looking over the menu we were pretty excited that they had multiple sauces that were gf so there were a lot of options. When friend went to order the waitress asked if the gluten free was a dietary need and shared that although there are multiple sauces marked gf they have contact with gluten - EX they keep meatballs made with breadcrumbs in the meat sauce, so the meat sauce is not safe for someone with Celiac. We were VERY happy our waitress knew all this and took the time to take precaution and educate us. But at the same time, don't have an item on your menu marked GF if it's not... very disappointing, Friend came for a pasta dish but when the options were so limited, she ordered salmon with a side of GF pasta with pomodoro sauce. It was still very good!

We love, love, love this family owned restaurant! Mainly we love it because my husband cannot eat ANYTHING that has any wheat flour , not just labelled as gluten free! Fratelli's Restaurant prepares their own cauliflower pizza crust that he can eat and he has no issues with his health after eating it! Praise God! We are so happy he can enjoy a good pizza again! And we love their salads also! They have a terrific Italian Menu to suit anyone's palette, but my sweetheart is who I am to please the most. . . & They do!!!! Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to Fratelli's Restaurant! Beverly Kruse, St. Charles, MO
