Good food, yet the restaurant was too loud. Fratello's on Meridian Ave. in Willow Glen is a good place to go to get a authentic Italian dinner- if you don't mind a super loud restaurant. It is tucked into a corner of a small shopping center, there is plenty of parking to go around. The restaurant consists of two main dining rooms and a small bar. We went for a quiet romantic dinner but that wasn't our experience at all. There was a cheesy lounge singer working the room, who actually tried to grab me to dance on the way out o... read more
We love this place The "cheesy" lounge singer is only there on Friday nights and does his "Dean Martin" impersonation/performance for FUN. He's KNOWN for it. It's fun when you're in the mood for it and with the right group of friends and enough wine. For a romantic or more quiet evening meal come on Saturday or any other night. The food is excellent and authentic right-on Italian, as is the atmosphere (except on Fridays) :) Enjoy.
Italian decor The food is excellent. I had the pasta carbonara and it was the best I have ever had. If you are looking for authentic Northern Italian food, this place is tough to beat. They are open for lunch which offers a mess less crowded environment.
POOR SERVICE Went had an early dinner on Friday night. The greeting was yeah..hi. My husband and I looked at each other and thought about leaving. It went down hill from there. Our server didnt know what the ingredients were in the specials. The food portions are small and pre-fab. . Not authentic italian food. Our drinks were empty. Our bread basket was empty... We won't go back
Best Italian! Our favorite authentic Italian restorante. Excellent food, great wine list. Owners/operators are originals with roots still in Italy. Friendly, warm people. Yes, "Dino" is cheesy (on purpose, I think), but endearing. It's where we go when we want good Italian food and a welcome smile. Everyone we have ever taken there (and there have been many) loves it as well.
Service Not Priority We we served lukewarm soup; cappuccino in a demitasse, and my friend's latte was served in a glass w/o a handle, so it was too hot to hold. Food was good.
A Rare and Unique Italian Dining Experience We have been coming here for years and have never had less than a very pleasing experience. Everyone we've recommended this place to has said the same! The owners greet you personally and in addition to the authentic food that bursts with flavor, we purposely come on Friday evenings to see and hear Matt Helm performing as "Dean Martin." We've had several friends swear he was lip-syncing to Dino's original recordings and love to see their reactions when they find out it's really Mat... read more
