Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Loved this little gem. Small lunch menu, but the Scarface pasta was amazing.

First time here and it was amazing in all we had 3 different meals, shrimp pasta with Alfredo, chicken broccoli calzone and gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. Also soup, the fried ravioli, spumoni ice cream, and cheesecake. All of it was very tasty. The service left us with nothing wanting. I'm thoroughly impressed. Will be coming back. Although the bread was subpar but that wasn't a huge concern for me.

Ate there not long after they opened. I ordered Lasagna. Felt that someone in the kitchen got confuse and though tomato soup was tomato sauce. Didn't feel that by any standards it was "good" Italian food. Won't be going back

Good food. The wait staff was...mostly good. our waiter seemed a bit in his own world but luckily one of the ladies there was paying attention and saved us. She made sure we had waters, that the small little dinner roll plates the guy brought us to share our dishes were replaced with dinner plates. all in all I wouldn 't go back, but thats because of the price. The price does not match the quality of food. what we ordered was good, but not $165 worth for two people with one glass of wine each.

The food is very good. Servers are attentive and polite. Nice clean restaurant. Enjoyed the time with the cooks and crew. A nice place for a romantic dinner

I usually avoid Italian in the Rogue Valley. But Fratellos is a solid choice. I had the "Scarface pasta" for lunch. The alfredo sauce was good. Pasta was cooked properly. Chicken and mushrooms were delicious. All in all a good lunch, for a decent price. I'll be back.
(4)Julie W.
Delicious! The staff greeted me at the door and was seated promptly. I had a bottle of the Pyrenees Pinot Noir. Very reasonably priced. Chicken parmigiana the potion was big the pasta was cooked perfect and the vega on the side were so good. The chef visited my table after to make sure everything was good. A pleasure to find this little place in Medford.
(5)Doug T.
First visit for me and four others during lunch. Heard through the grape vine that this restaurant was very good and I'm here to say they were right. It's a smaller building off the beaten path , but the staff were very polite , attentive and the food was fresh, lite and well prepared. I will be returning soon.
(5)Janet D.
Wow! This is a gem of a restaurant. It is absolutely fantastic. A secret spot in Medford. Absolutely delicious authentic Italian fair served by excellent waiters. My friend had the cannelloni, my husband had the chicken over spaghetti special and I had the linguine with clams. All superb! And the prices were fantastic - $60 for all three of us with two wonderful glasses of Italian Chianti. Come and check this place out - you will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Dave R.
A Greatl Italian restaurant that won't break the bank. My shrimp salad was great, good home made bread, my wife's manacotti was almost as good as her home made, and the boy enjoyed the linguine with clams. The service was frendly & good and I'd go back.
(4)Dale S.
We had the Classic Calzone and it was fantastic! Large portions and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and prompt. We'll definitely be back.
(5)Susan B.
I really wanted to like this place, based on what other reviews said. Came here on a weeknight at around 6:30 and was the only one in the place, and when I left I was still the only one in the place. All day I'd been wanting lasagne, ordered that, and was so disappointed. The food was all "okay." The lasagne was "okay" and kind of underdone and spice-less and taste-less. The salad was "okay." The bread was plain white bread and was "okay." The iced tea was "okay." The service was very attentive, since I was the only one there, but all in all? I was very disappointed. The place was very clean; the decorating and atmosphere were pleasant. The food was just kind of blah. With Italian food I was not expecting blah. I will not bother going back.
(2)David C.
Excellent! Had a great meal here. The three brothers who own Fratello's are warm and very courteous. Great atmosphere for a neighborhood restaurant.
(5)Kimberly T.
This restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. The food is another story. I felt it was very over priced. The red sauce tasted like it was store bought and almost sour. Nothing had flavor. The homemade bread was standard and comes on every bread based appetizer. We stopped here based on the 5 star rating and I don't feel it held up the standards. I will not be returning.

To start, the place wasn't very busy, and parking is terribly inconvenient. A hostess/cashier, and presumably the waiter/server and cook were present. Walking in the door, there's a very odd smell of bleach, mixed with perhaps mildew/mold, and partially rotted food. That didn't start things out too well. Once you vacate the entry way, the smell is gone. Immediately greeted, seated, and handed menus. Water took some time to arrive, but only after we were asked if we'd like an alternative beverage first. We had barely sat down to even look at a drink menu, let alone glance at one. The menu is simple (in fact, too simple because it didn't explain if anything came with entree' order until you read the fine print). I'll come back to "simple" later. We each ordered a glass of their house Chardonnay, which was very good. My Dad ordered a standard meal and a salad with blue cheese dressing. I ordered the "Scarface Pasta," which consists of grilled chicken breast, mushrooms, and herbs in an Alfredo sauce over Rigatoni and a side bowl of Minestrone soup as a starter. They serve bread and butter with your meal, which was extremely bland. Bread usually will have some kind of flavor, even white, which this was. The butter (served in foil-peel mini-serve plastic dealie-bobs) barely gave it any flavor. While my Dad enjoyed his salad very much (Romaine, neatly chopped in squares, served with his dressing, and three slices each of salame' and a mild white cheese). However, my Minestrone (a traditional recipe, although lacking beans, a meat stock/broth) was in effect, vegan. Aside from possibly a chili-type spice in the vegetable stock, it was extremely bland. It would definitely have benefited from additional seasonings, salt, or beans and meat. Entree's arrive, somewhat timely. My Dad and I both were elated with the entree's. They were very flavorful, meats/pasta cooked perfectly. His marinara sauce and my alfredo sauce were outstanding! Unfortunately, we only saw our server one time after dropping our entree's. I could've used one more glass of wine and his attentiveness was focused on what appeared to be personal friends of his, celebrating their 10-year anniversary of marriage. Although I was somewhat anxious to leave, I decided to exercise patience and order dessert. My Dad ordered Spumoni Ice Cream while I requested the chocolate cake. Having had years of career-related experience in the food service industry, I'm able to spot a "Cash & Carry" (formerly United Grocers) dessert a mile away. I ate it, as they are, in fact, quite good. However, I was expecting something home-made, perhaps... maybe even remotely "special." At any rate, I come back to "simple" as I summarize my review. I think the owners/staff are trying to hard to be simple. Simple is good, in preparation/technique of cooking. When you're remaining "simple" in your mindset, apparently for them it's across the board. Although, the entree' I had was awesome, *everything* else about this place is too, too simple. Blandness, unattentiveness, fake smiles, too many "thank yous" and non-genuine, overdone politeness gets a person nowhere with me. Prices are somewhat reasonable, but there is far better value in every category at other places in the valley. I don't like issuing reviews that are deemed as hurtful to a business, but I personally will not be returning. Dining out is a luxury for all of us, and this place has been open long enough, in my opinion, to get the job done right. Again, positive note *excellent entree's* here. But, everything else, simply put, is lack-lustre.

Went there for lunch and this is our new favorite Italian restaurant. The food was very good, service was excellent. The lunch menu is on the small side, but I looked at a dinner menu which has a lot more choices, and I am anxious to try them for dinner.
(4)Raymond S.
Tried Fratello's for the first time. We had a group of six and were promptly seated to a medium filled house. Our server was attentive and accommodating. In the group we tried most of the pasta dishes. All servings were generous, ingredients appeared fresh, including a home made marinara that was tasty but a bit watery. The lasagna was especially good, obviously house made. The prices were great at approximately $10 a plate with a house salad with excellent dressings for just $2 more. We will go back to try some of the other entrees like chicken parm which run about $16. Good place- let's support it and keep it around.
(4)Josh D.
Such great food. I come here with friends and family and we all love it. Their lunch menu is inexpensive and has a lot to choose from. Service is fast and good. I have had the steak and it was prepared perfectly. Same with the chicken parmesan.
(5)Theresa P.
My husband and I are Italian. Fabulous food!!!!! Lovely owners and fabulous chef. We must eat the 6 times a week. They make homemade gnocchi, ravioli, and tortellini just like mama and nonna (grandma). Do not miss this restaurant!!!!!!! You will not be disappointed. You will wonder why more people have not discovered it. It is by far the best Italian food in southern Oregon.
(5)Irene K.
Good honest Italian food as how the Italians eat it. I lived in Little Italy NYC and traveled to Naples and Rome. The food here is how Italians eat at home in New York City.... brings back fond memories. The salad I had was crisp and fresh, tomato sauce was fresh and light, everything was seasoned well, authentically Italian. Portions are big, I had to take half of my dinner home. As David F. said in his review, the Spumoni was creamy and rich, unlike the cheap commercial ones they serve in less authentic restaurants. Best Spumoni outside of Little Italy NYC. The service was friendly, the restaurant is family owned. I hope they will do well in Medford because I surely want to keep coming back to have good Italian food.

On a whim, I went here for dinner a few nights ago- the space felt smaller than the building gave the impression of, with an even smaller parking lot- including the 'extra spaces' lot behind the restaurant. Each table, more or less, was nicely lit & the tables themselves were dressed nicely. However, because of how small the space was overall, it made things difficult not to hear other peoples' conversations- which weren't always appropriate, I might add. Also, again because of spacing, where I was sitting I could clearly see into the kitchen, so the arrangement of seating wasn't exactly the best. And the color was so dark on the walls, it made what could've passed for 'homey/cozy' as 'claustrophobic'. On a lighter, positive note, the music was rather nice- a tenor singing some lovely arias- & really set the mood for the "Italian" restaurant. The menu seemed small, in my opinion, but allowed room for catering & party options- &, perhaps, showed they had better quality entrees. The service was certainly personal, with minimal staffing, made things feel warm & definitely welcome. They did serve warm bread upon coming in, which was a nice touch... though I found it odd they served it with butter rather than olive oil & balsamic. Onto the food: The minestrone soup was... well, it had more vegetables than I thought any soup ever should have- it was especially odd with so much cabbage & celery, though still rather tasty all the same. They could've done better if the chunks were MUCH smaller than the size they were- each veggie was at least the size of a standard ice cube, if not bigger! As for the Penne Ameriticiana, I knew it probably would be tart, being a tomato-based sauce, but it tasted almost like the base was vinegar, rather than tomato- it was quite tart. What seemed to throw me off the most was how the menu said it came with bacon & peas... but the only green I saw in the penne & sauce were green bell peppers- that didn't exactly have much texture left to them, so I was kinda bummed I didn't get the peas the menu promised. Also, I'm not sure they meant for the bacon to turn out as dry/tough as it did, but even with that disappointment, it was definitely hot, plentiful, & had a nice kick of heat that, surely, didn't need any salt. Overall, the meal/service wasn't bad, though it's not a real go-getter of a restaurant & was mediocre at best, the total bill coming to a little over $15, including tip- & they certainly were filling, so you won't go home hungry by any means.

Welcoming, friendly, prompt, clean, and very good food! We were greeted and seated promptly, service for order was prompt. Drinks brought, food ordered. Food took a bit, but that was because cooked to order, not just taken off the assembly line. Very good time!
(5)David F.
I've given Fratello's 5 stars because the meal was excellent...plain and simple. I had the linguini & clams in white sauce...you should too! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the clams were more than flavorful. I half expected that the white sauce would be the standard heavy white stuff you usually find in restaurants...but this wasn't like that at all...it was light, buttery, and tasty. While the bread did come with plain old butter patties, I asked for some oil and balsamic and wow, did it make a positive difference. Finally, Fratello's does offer Spumoni ice cream unlike most Italian restaurants here in the good old USA. It was quite a treat. The place may be small, but the vittles are BIG.
