Fratelli’s Kitchen - Grand Rapids

Fratelli's has to be one of overlooked gems on the West Side. I've been there twice for lunch, and both times the dining room has been nearly empty, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. The food is seriously amazing.When I think of all the overpriced, boring food I have eaten at other restaurants, I want to cry. Pro tip: if you see something you've never tried before on the menu, GET IT. Fratelli's has a lot of unique, house-developed items and they are worth it. Calabrian sauce? Yum. Fig and goat cheese burger? One of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. Their cream cake is the perfect hybrid of sponge cake and cheesecake.I would love to see this restaurant get the love it deserves before it gets replaced by another Applebee's.

We went for a small group wedding reception so didn't really get to experience the menu, but what was part of the buffet was extremely tasty. I think my favorite thing turned out to be pizza with artichokes, feta, something I don't know that was the star of the slice, and a drizzle of some kind. Anyhow chefs kiss to that. Drink was just okay, I expected more based on the description. All 8n all a decent place that I'd go to again.

Im from Illinois and lived there all my life till i moved here and pizza is my top favorite dish…Fratellis ‘Chicago style’ pizza was a huge joke. I don’t know a single pizza place in Illinois that serves pizza in this style. I thought it was going to be a deep dish or a thin crust pizza cut into squares but this was something else. The pizza was very soggy, and the toppings were almost as if they were spread mostly in the middle and you can see that in the picture. There was way too much sauce on and in the pizza. It kind of gave me the vibe of uccellos stuffed pizza except Fratellis put sauce on the top layer crust and then sauce at the bottom layer crust. Some parts of the pizza tasted off to the point where it didn’t sit right in my stomach. The reason why I gave them three stars is because the food came actually warm from the distance my house was from their place. I ordered mozzarella sticks and those were really good mozzarella sticks, which they gave more sauce though. I believe they should change the name to stuffed pizza or Fratellis style pizza because that was just not a chicago pizza.

Food was delicious, servers were attentive and fast. Crab cakes were the best I have ever had.

I was excited to order a pizza with the options offered at Fratelli’s. I have gluten and dairy allergies. I clearly asked for GF and DF pizza. I get home eat 2 slices of my pizza and look at the receipt and the receipt does not reflect what I ordered. I was very upset since this is not a choice. This was very disappointing! I called the restaurant and a young lady answered. I explained my situation and she looked into it. She stated she would refund me and asked if there was anything she could do (which was nice to hear)? No, you can’t because the damage is in my stomach! If you order anything from here make sure they repeat your order a few times to ensure you’re getting what you ordered.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese.Dietary restrictions: They have GF options however, I did not get what I ordered.
