About Fratello Italian

Locals skip the beachfront strip and head straight into Labrador for unpretentious Italian comfort. Pure trattoria energy—plates moving fast, from crisp salsiccia pies with a chili kick to generous bowls of mushroom fettuccine. Floor manager Irma works the room like family while kitchen tickets fly. Tables fill even on a Monday night, parking takes patience, and five-dollar corkage for BYO wine keeps dinner delightfully casual.

  • Crisp-Crust Pizzas: Crisp, thin bases loaded with toppings like spicy salsiccia and Roman-style potato with pancetta.
  • Generous Pastas & Mains: Generous bowls of fettuccine funghi, tender garlic prawns, and rich, pillowy gnocchi.
  • Monday Nights & BYO Wine: A lively neighborhood room serving dinner on Mondays, backed by friendly five-dollar BYO wine corkage.

  • Crispy Artisan Pizzas and Rich Comfort Classics

    Crisp-bottomed crusts baked to perfection feature balanced toppings and just the right level of heat, paired with fast-moving antipasti like tender flash-fried calamari.
