Good, old school American style Italian place. The food is hearty and rich, at a great price. This is a dying breed of restaurants. Reservations are recommended because this place is popular among locals.

Really enjoyed the reception after a funeral. Lasagna was really good, just a bit acidic. Portion of chicken parmesan was a little small. Best garlic bread I've ever had! Our servers were amazing taking care of 38 of us!

One Saturday afternoon in September my husband and I decided to venture into a quaint Italian restaurant nestled near the historic part of Brea near old town, known as frantellion’s Italian Restaurant. The ambiance was immediately inviting, with soft lighting, rustic decor, and hand painted murals adorning the walls. The gentle hum of Italian conversation paired with the faint notes of a classic Italian ballad made the setting feel intimate and cozy. We were greeted with a warm smile by the owner Cesar and his son Gianni the hostess, who led us to a VIP table overlooking the entire restaurant. As I glanced over the menu, an array of authentic dishes beckoned me. We settled on the entree specials served with wine, perfectly toasted garlic bread, small salad or delicious minestrone and dessert. We had the handmade Chicken Parmigiana with creamy Pesto shells and the Shrimp and scallops Linguine. The anticipation grew as I took the first bite. The pasta was perfectly al dente, with the creamy alfredo pesto sauce melding in a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by breaded chicken parmigiana. Every bite was a delightful dance of textures and flavors, making it evident that each ingredient was chosen with care and love. To accompany the meal, the waitress Taylor suggested a glass of Rose and House Red wine , which perfectly accentuated the rich flavors of the Linguine and Pesto. For dessert, we indulged in cheesecake ice-cream with a delicate layering of creamy chunks of strawberries. It was a sweet ending to an exquisite meal. The entire experience was more than just a dinner; it was a journey through Italian culture and tradition. The genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and passion for authentic flavors made fratellino’s a memorable culinary adventure that I'll cherish for years to come. ---Aya

Excellent torpedo sandwich. The best I've had on the west coast. The roll is a taste thrill. The antipasto salad was pretty good. Great ranch dressing. Nice place. Nice people.

We celebrated my Uncle 's birthday with the family. There were nine of us and our server was amazing! The food was hot and delicious. Bonus it was under 200 for all of us and we had adult drinks! We will be back!

This was my first time here. It was darn good!

Been coming here for years. Staff is friendly, food is great, very clean restaurant. If I were to recommend a dish to try it would be their eggplant parmesan it's delicious!

Love and very much enjoy their food every time I go there. Wether is with friends or family we have never had any complaints. Last time my sister and I came in we had Scott as our server and he was very sweet and attentive to our needs.

This place was recommended to us, but it was the biggest disappointment ever it took us over an hour to get our meal. The lasagna was like soup. The Italian sandwich had nothing Italian meat in it whatsoever, and the service was awful. The only thing I can say that was good was the appetizer that was brought to us 40 minutes after we ordered an ice tea we were so disappointed.

Delicious food and great service. I had my birthday dinner here with a large group. They were very accommodating. We liked it so much we came back 2 weeks later for my mom's birthday! Love their complete meal, soup or salad, entree, 4 oz glass of house wine and ice cream for dessert!

Absolutely the BEST Italian restaurant that I have been to. The atmosphere has a great Italian vibe; you can see how everyone is enjoying the food, each other’s company and the surroundings. The staff (including the owners) is so friendly and accommodating, they tend to your every need. And the food is exceptional. This time, I had the Chicken Piccata, which was so scrumptious and my husband had the Chicken Marsala which he absolutely loved, (he also recommends the shrimp and scallops scampi, the shrimp piccata and the Deluxe pizza). The portions are plentiful and bountiful so Make sure everyone in your party orders something different so that you can try a little of everything, and you will see that you won’t have just one favorite dish. Oh, and don’t forget to order the Marco and Gianni Sweet Pizza for dessert but ask them to add a scoop of ice cream. This is hands down our new favorite dessert.

We came here because Angelo and Vincis was too busy and were pleasantly surprised. First time here and we got the baked Gnocchi, it was bomb! We’ll definitely be back

There is a reason why Fratelinos is voted the number one Italian restaurant in Orange County--EVERY YEAR. Excellent service, and a lovely environment, and reasonable prices always prevail. They even have a small room for a party, which i have done. I have been going for years, since they were in Fullerton, before they moved to Brea and they never fail to live up to their high standards. My favorite is the family specials that save me money. But there are so many excellent selections to chose from, so I will keep coming!

The best Italian food I have ever had! I really like the mixed seafood Italian style pasta. The Service has gotten much better, and the desserts 🍨are good to! I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice lunch with the family or a romantic dinner with your 🌹 date. If you go for Valentine's day 💘 I highly recommend a reservation.

Service was quick at first and waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered 2 dinner combos (#1 and #4) and a kids fettuccine alfredo. Salad and soup came out fast and were good. Food came out a bit later and the 2 adult meals were cold. Kids fettuccine was warm enough to eat but the fettuccine in adult combo meal was cold enough to have a film on it. When we told the waiter, he was extremely apologetic and went to speak to manager. Manager offered to take the cold meals off but we'd "have to pay for the salad and soup that came with the meal and the kids meal". When I asked to speak to the manager right after we were given this response, he was no longer available. I offered to pay for the kids meal, as it was edible, and left our 2 uneaten meals on the table before leaving. We were made to feel like we were trying to pull a free meal when it couldn't be further from the truth...just looking for a warm, reasonably-priced meal like we had received on past visits. Unfortunately, the poor customer service shown by restaurant management lost our future business.

I don't really give restaurants five stars but this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at best customer service awesome atmosphere love this place been back here again and again and will continue to

It was very busy so there was a bit of a wait. The staff was all rushing about and doing their best. Very friendly. I like the combo meals so you can try a little of a couple of things. The servings were enough for 2 meals for me.

It took 7 minutes for our waiter to finally come and greet our table. The food was average, and my son pulled from his mouth a 1 inch long curled shard of metal that was baked into the garlic bread! When I complained to the manager, she didn’t even apologize. When time came to pay, there was no attempt to make things right either. I had to ask the waiter to comp my son’s meal. What really bugged me the most is both the manager and the waiter. Blamed it on the bread company. I get it, but you’re the ones that are selling the bread to your customers. Treat your customer right!

Worst service ever. Got there at 5:30pm last night and the restaurant was 1/3 full with lots of open tables. The waitress could not follow basic food orders. We were a party of 4 and only 1 order came out correctly. These were straight forward, uncomplicated orders. When the orders came out incorrectly, the food runner argued with us that it was our fault and wanted to shove the food at us regardless of it being incorrect. Our server then returned with another round of argumentative tone by insinuating we had been at fault. I was a server trainer for 8 years at some of the biggest names in O.C. I speak straight forward and in basic serving/kitchen terms. These were easy orders and the staff cannot follow them. These servers have small stations and very easy drop off’s. There is not a lot of pre-meal work for the servers to do so it is beyond my comprehension as to why they cannot follow basic food orders, retrieve drinks and manicure tables. We sat with a table full of empty plates and multiple, empty glasses for the entropy of our meal. We had to ask 4 times for a glass of water. 45 mins into the meal and after another plea for water, she finally dropped them off. We waited another 30 mins for a check and to request boxes. The food was great but your entire staff needs to be retrained. We should have reflected her poor service by a poor tip but felt it better to leave this review as an example to the manager and business owner that they need to do some basic retraining.

Great food that is reasonably priced, the service was quick, the server was friendly and he check on us multiple times. The atmosphere was nice, not too noise and the decorations fit the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would recommend.

I met a friend at Fratellino’s for lunch. Parking was easy. We were seated quickly with ample room around us. We ordered our food and drinks and everything arrived in a short amount of time. The food was hot and delicious. I highly recommend Fratellino’s.

Love the food. Pizza always great. Staff is always friendly and smiling. I don't know if it's that it was a Friday but the food took too long to come out, my 6 year old was crying he was so hungry. He didn't care for the appetizer ( carrots &Ranch dressing) . Maybe if they would have offered bread instead. There were many people there that night eating, service seemed really slow. The food was worth the wait.

The food wasn't bad, but definitely average at best. Our table overlooked the kitchen and bus area, so I really can't say much about the atmosphere. The waitress was slow, and forgot to bring all of our food like the salads, antipasto, etc. Once she remembered to bring our entrees, she only brought one out at a time. We had to wait almost 10 minutes between the two entrees that we ordered. She finally brought out our garlic bread after we finished our entrees. We also had to ask multiple times just to get the spumoni ice cream. Honestly I really have no reason to go back there. All the dishes were basic, you would have to order mushrooms or anything that you cared for additionally to be included in the pasta. You see that in the buffet, not in a nice restaurant that you're paying for the atmosphere and quality.

Great value and good food. The take out menue is quite good also, great meatball sandwich!

Nice family style Italian restaurant. Reasonably priced and not pretentious. Just good food.

Combo Dinner Add $2.95. Includes salad or soup. Wine and ice cream. All delicious. Great service all the time.

Absolutely delicious food and warm environment. Good for friends and family.

The food very good at a great price. The wine was very good as well. We ordered the calamari and was not disappointed. Very good

Last time I was there I got the vegetarian pizza it was good been there 2 other times nice staff good food there are a few things I would like to suggest adding more options for vegetarian and vegan pasta with veggies or side rosted veggies get vegan or vegetarian meat there is a Italian restaurant in Orange has more better bread vegetarian and vegan can eat also there are other restaurants in Brea GA vegetarian and vegan meat

Service wasn't awesome but they were busy so i'll give them that. The food was tasty, not smoking hot, we did have a large party so I'll give that. We will try again with a smaller party.

We recently went with a group for lunch on Sunday. We left disappointed both with the service and the food. Our waitress was not attentive and would go missing a lot. We had to ask for bread, refills, missing plates etc. then when our food came out, all the dishes were cold when usually they’re piping hot to the touch. I believe this restaurant has gone downhill both in the kitchen staff and the service staff. Very disappointed in this place we’ve come to for over 10 years.
