Saw this place on a Best Pizza in Toronto list. Took the kids there on a Friday night and had to wait a bit as they don't take reservations on Fri or Sat nights. It was less than 5 minutes before one of the brothers seated us. We ordered 2 pizzas, the Fratelli and the Popeye, and the Pesto Penne Fratelli. The place was packed and we got our food very fast. Everything was piping hot, fresh, and deliscious. Hands down the best pizza we've had in T.O. The guy who seated us came over and introduced himself as Sal, one of the partners, and explained that Fratelli means "brothers" in Italian. His brother Mateo was one of the chefs in the kitchen, and there were various other family members working there too. Sal took time to stop at each table, introduce himself and ask the customers their name as well, and make sure and everything was okay and when they were leaving, he'd stop again to thank them and say please come back. They treat customers like family there and we'll definitely go back. Tip: don't wear a sweater. That wood fired pizza oven keeps the place warm and toasty. 😅
I didnt really believe the 4+ stars for this place on almost every review site. Everyone raved their pizza, so hesitantly, I ordered pizza (not a big fan of pizza in restaurants, eapecially when there is a risotto on the menu lol). I was pleasantly surprised at how great the pizza was! Soft bread, abundant toppings, very cheesy! Best part is that even after an hour (as we chatted) the integrity of the pizza stayed the way it was presented. I was impressed! Highly recommended. We even overlooked the fact that the server forgot to bring us bread in the beginning
The food is amazing and the service is great as well, almost as good as my favorite Italian restaurant...
I highly recommend trying it if your in the area
sal and matteo are the best workers that i know i have been frinds with them over 4 years theay have a great food i can call sal and matteo famliy great job you guy s with your place lots of love from stephen .
Kids had pizza, which was great. Calamari was rather chewy and the Penne a la vodka was very bland. Nice little spot, but the food could be spiced up a bit.
A hidden gem. This is the kind of place you might drive past and not think twice about .... you may think it's a pizzeria and i guess it is BUT the "other" food is fantastic!! The pasta, the veal Oi!!! Such wonderful flavour! So lovingly prepared, and yes half the menu is pizza!! I read a few bad reviews which mostly centered on having to wait .... well guess what? It's a small place with great food, not McDonalds, if you want in and out fast go somewhere else and if you have to wait for an hour .... you have to wait for an hour! Yes, the food is THAT GOOD! Sorry if you had a coupon! LOL!! If Sal or Mateo told me I had to wait an hour, guess what? I'd get a spot at the bar and wait ....
Best of Everything!. Absolutely fantastic. The price is a little high, but for the amount of food, quality of food, and quality of service you are getting it is definitely worth it. If you're planning a visit keep in mind it is a very popular restaurant and since they unfortunately don't take reservations you should be prepared for a little bit of a wait. We usually arrive right at 5 when they open or around 7:30 after the dinner rush and we don't have to wait. The staff are friendly and always make you feel like family. I will never stop going here! P.s. I highly recommend the Pesto Pasta - it's to die for!
A Scarborough GEM!. What a pleasurable experience! Went there yesterday with a friend of mine and we ended up ordering the chicken pappardelle and veal parmesan. The service, pricing and meals were fantastic! The portions were massive, I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys really authentic Italian food for an extremely reasonable price.
Great family environment. Very fresh ingredients. Excellent selection for wines and food. Their pizzas are done in a wood burning oven very authentic taste. Looking forward to going back! Very friendly owners as we'll :)
Great night. Took my girlfriend to dinner here. We arrived a little later then usual for dinner as the decision was last minute. Seated quickly though and the table was a little small. The food made up for it though and our waiter was very attentive. We were still eating by close and they didn't rush us in the slightest. I know this place is usually busy so reserve a table of you plan to eat at normal dinner time. The tiramisu and mushroom risoto was perfect. Great portions too. Would always go back if I pass near.
So Happy To See them Open Again. Regular Spot for Date Night for my GF and I - Pizzas are huge and amazing and pesto pasta is a must try -- family run with great atmosphere and wine isnt too overpriced - have been returning for many many years, happy to see them open and cooking !
Open again fantastic food. Closed for quite a while after afire but reopened and is an amazing place for good food...only problem is the limited parking near by. give it a try you won't be sorry!
What a wonderful experience all around. The restaurant is totally unassuming from the outside but as soon as you open the door you are met by a bustling and cozy restaurant. The owner made a point of greeting all the guests and seemed to know almost have of the patrons by name. Every member of the service team interacted with us and made us feel special. Definitely a great team.
5 star service aside, the food is really delicious. We really can't wait to try everything on the menu. Bruschetta pizza was a hit. Oh and Mamma's Cheesecake!
Our new local restaurant has been found!
I stopped in here to get a pizza for take out. The staff working in here is very very friendly and helpful. The pizza was absolutely amazing very high quality and you can tell just by tasting it they use high quality ingredients ! I will definitely come back next time I’m
In the the area to try dining in!
Amazing service. Good portions on meals. Toppings are fresh on pizza. Flavor in pasta was great. First come first serve seating so it's good to get there shortly after the restaurant opens.
We will eat here again.
Pizzeria is in the name and the pizza doesn't disappoint! I've lived in area for years and have noticed the place is always busy. Decided it was finally time to see if the activity lived up to the hype. It's relaxed inside and the staff & service is super efficient and very friendly. Every seat in the house was full and despite this, our meals came out quick. Looking forward to checking it out again and working my through the long list of standard house crafted pizzas!
A year or two ago I would've given them 5 stars as the quality ingredients and food was amazing. The last year or so the consistency is just not there. We basically order the same items every Thursday or Friday night. One week it will be fantastic. Exploding with favour and the next week it's almost bland.
It's still our go to Italian restaurant in the area but I miss the "old" days of this place when it wasn't so popular and more consistent.
Excellent food and service. Great place to stop by after a long walk at the Zoo
I'm in love with Fratelli pizza! So many delicious pizza choices (Funghi and Popeye are 2 faves), the grilled veggies, and the fried calamari with lemon dip. And they're so friendly too. Nice location. I hope they're around for a long time.
Can't describe it as anything but a local gem. Great service with friendly owners and delicious food. There were so many options we ordered multiple dishes to share; and everything was so flavourful. My favorite was the fratelli dessert.
