Pasta & wood-fired pizzas in an inviting setting with exposed brick & warm wood tones.
This place is an absolute game-changer for wood-fired pizza lovers! Their Margherita pizzas? 🍕 Legendary. Life-altering. The kind of pizza that makes you question every other slice you’ve ever had. 🤌 Honestly, it’s the only place my partner and I grab pizzas from for the past 2 years - no joke. Every visit feels like a reward, and I’m always hyped to pick them up. And get this - they whip up these masterpieces in just 15-20 minutes! It’s a cozy, family-owned spot where you’ll feel right at home. The owner is kind and makes you feel like part of the family and the staff are also very friendly! Bottom line - you need to check this place out. One bite and you’ll be hooked for life!
Amazing food as always, portions are really big. Pesto pasta is my favourite item on the menu, always consistent and delicious!
My wife and I went to this place for the first time and enjoyed our dinner. The place seems to quite popular as we we had to wait a little while to get seated. The sever was quite busy and forgot part of our order. The food was very good and we will definitely come back.
Went to this Italian restaurant today, Saturday, October 26, 2024 for dinner. Located at east of old Kingston Road in Scarborough area. The place is busy. There's free parking lot infront of the restaurant's arcade building. The food are good. I love their fried calamari, linguine mare, and veal marsala. My husband and I shared these 3 dishes with a glass of red wine and we are more than full by the end of meal and we don't have room for dessert. The place is clean but with the quality of their food they should have bigger and much elegant settings with table covered with white cloth or similar. Their table is bulkier for their tiny space, it should be smaller and lower for more intimate and elegant feel like fine restaurants in Europe. I would love to try their traditional stone oven baked pizza. We ordered pizza for take home but the server forgot to have it prepared towards the end of our meal so we skip that as we don't want to wait. Over all we're happy with the quality of food, ambience and clean washroom (very important to me when checking the quality of restaurant). Also, very important the waiting for the food after ordering it is decent - the food is serve right away in less than 10mins after the server took our order. . I will definitely recommend it to every one. I will definitely come back to try their other food on their menu. I wish they can improve their settings to a much better fine dining restaurant as there is nothing or not much fine dining in this area that I know of. Downtown Toronto is way too far to travel for fine dining restaurant for special occasions.
I don't know how I missed this fantastic restaurant It's great friendly staffs 👏 Excellent foods 🤌 And what the owner👌
My family and I recently decided to try out Fratelli Village Pizzeria. I can't help but share how it was one of those cozy dining experiences that makes you want to linger a little longer over your meal. When we arrived, we were greeted by Jason, our server—his ability to combine professionalism with genuine warmth. With a family-friendly vibe, he had a knack for connecting with our kids, a rare skill that made our dinner even more enjoyable. I appreciated his suggestions from the menu – they were absolutely spot on! Now, let’s talk about the food. The pizza here? Fantastic! Even my little ones, who can be picky, were asking for seconds, the highest praise any pizza could hope for in my household. But the highlight for me wasn't just the pizza; it was the lamb – oh, so tender and cooked just right to be flavorful. We rounded off our evening with some gelato and tiramisu, and this delightful scoop of sweetness made us think about when we could return. It was the kind of dessert that made you want to close your eyes with each spoonful, savouring the moment. We’re already planning our next visit because the pasta on the menu gave us the eye, and after such a stellar meal, how could we resist? If you’ve been on the fence about where to dine out next, try Fratelli Village Pizzeria – I'm almost certain Jason and the delicious menu will make you feel right at home.
Tucked in a corner in serene Old Kingston road, Fratelli is an Authentic Italian restaurant in every aspect. Great wood fired pizzas with quality ingredients and fresh cheese. Salvatore (owner) and all Servers are very hands-on and hospitable. What seems very humble from the outside, the restaurant has a refreshingly nice ambience with dim lights & peppy music. Ideal for a fine-dine date night or conversation with friends. Will come back!
The experience at this restaurant was really good . The food was on point. The service was really good . The cheesecake was a good size and tasted really good . The sauce is house-made. The aftertaste is really good. If you spread the sauce on the pizza the flavour makes the pizza Is good . The pizza is shareable it has 6 slices. The cheesecake is shareable also . The space of the restaurant is kinda squishy but overall a good experience. 8/10
Who doesnt love great pizza! Tucked away in the corner of the mall, Fratellis is absolutely worth a visit. If youre dining in or just getting take out, you wont be disappointed when you visit.
What a little piece of heaven. Beautiful place very very well run. Everybody is very friendly and attentive. Kitchen staff are always taking to each other. It was a pleasure to watch them work so well together. The food is delicious. We will be back soon.
Owner is great with guests and my dad loves the place. Always a great nite of food and fun in the small quaint West Hill Village.
Fettuccini Alfredo was great , pizza was great ...cheesecake was wowwwwwww. Service was great. Place was busy on a Friday night and understandably so. Im definitely going back. Prices were great for the quality of food and service. If you like Italian go here!
We ordered three things Focaccia bread which was the best thing. Margherita pizza which was wet and greasy in between. Too much cheese definitely not Neapolitan style pizza. Third was Spaghetti Alio Olio which was with garlic and rapini which did not have enough salt and hardly any garlic taste. Pasta was cooked Al dente though. We asked for salt to our server (young lady) and we had to ask thrice till we got the salt. I understand it was evening time and busy but it doesn t take much effort to get salt. The server was in a hurry to take off our menus she would even take our entire order in the first place. Definitely would NOT be going back.
Im so glad we came across this amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection and on top of that the staff and service is A1! Thank you Sal and your staff for a great dinner experience! Will definitely be stopping by again! Food
We came to Fratelli as a date night based on the high ratings and reviews. We shared a pizza (pesto) and veal de limone. The first veal we were served was very overcooked, basically was hard and rubbery. It was quickly and easily exchanged for one that was much better cooked, so kudos on the service there. The pizza was great, I highly recommend it. Nice wood burning pizza, well cooked and nice flavour. Crust was great too. The veal was solid and the mashed potatoes were excellent. The limone sauce was nice. If you order it, make sure to let them know you are okay if it s red inside so it s not overcooked. It got very busy here by around 6:30 - making it tight, cramped and noisy. Service attention definitely was reduced too at this point. Cheesecake was good, but not top tier (imho). I like mine firmer and more NY style. We really wanted the crème brûlée but it was a pistachio version instead today. All in all, a good experience and we enjoyed ourselves. We will certainly be back which is the best test of any restaurant.
I have been there two times. Just came here for one beer, the staff was rude, one beer and thats it. This is an eating place and not drinking place. The first time experience was better. Worse, a black bartender didnt had any problems in confirming this. I didnt made any noise, or fuss. If you want to do something you will do it anyway. I will take it as hate incident. The same folk helped me to sit at the bar. Edited: The third time experience was better. They do have digital mosquito problems who chatter about me a lot when I come in. I increased the stars to 4.
A cozy family restaurant. Large portions and reasonable prices. Great service and a lively atmosphere. Great for date night. I highly recommend
Amazing food! The wood-fired oven pizza was perfect. Friendly, attentive table service, and a very cool atmosphere with the open kitchen and ability to see the pizzas coming out of the oven. A hidden gem that I will definitely be visiting again soon! Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and the serving staff were all friendly with the kids in the restaurant.
Wow! This neighborhood restaurant with awesome vibe is above and beyond! We have ordered Tomato & Cucumber Salad, Veal with spaghetti and Grilled Seafood, and portions were generous and they were so delicious & flavorful. We also had a slice of cheese cake and it was heaven! Servers were super attentive with great smile. Definitely recommend if you are craving for Italian and we will be back to taste others on the menu for sure.
I have never had such amazing customer service..... this place everyone is treated like gold and diamonds. Customer for life. Pizza was fabulous
Absolutely amazing experience, pizza was delicious and rich in taste, owner and staff treat customers like family 5 star place.
The best Italian restaurant in the area! Staff are super friendly and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Impeccable dishes, highly recommend this gem for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine!
1,000th review!!! This is my fav restaurant
Went there yesterday for supper and the food was not bad for everyone in my table, mine was pretty basic and not the tastiest veggies Ive had. Now the issue was the attitude of the waiter ( a young chap) , yes I get it, it was nighttime and probably he was tired and wanted to go home, BUT if you work as a server ( cause Ive done it) its good to keep your attitude down and serve the best you can. Not sure if I will take my family and friends there next time.
The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The food was ready sooner than we thought and we loved it. We will be back.
Not the fancies of the restaurants, food was good, the service needs improvement or at least our server was not the most friendly and lacked a good attitude. For a dinner of 5 spent $300+. Not many vegan or vegetarian options. Now if someone asks me if Id go back Ill have to think about it. Food
This was our go to family owned restaurant for years. When Sal is not there the staff does not care. On phones constantly taking calls. Left my calamari sitting up on pass. Cream pasta was like drinking 18% no flavour etc and we got sick. Staff plays keen the mice are away. Sad as this was our go to Italian place. No longer!!! Ciao
This restaurant was good, but not great, I think I just expected more judging from all the great reviews. I had the Linguine Mare and I believe it was the best out of all the dishes ordered. The mushroom risotto was pretty bland, and the pizzas were just okay IMO I think for a wood fire pizza oven if they used better pizza dough it could be a whole lot better, but that s just me. Nothing wrong with this place, just the food needs a bit more flavour. Great for families and kids, also, the service was amazing! Would love to come back to try some other dishes. 7.5/10 Kid-friendliness: Great family restaurant.
Used to be good. before 2023 2024 pizza is just cooked ish and floury bottom. Calamari changed and it s over cooked. This was our family place. No longer His hands bday the cream pasta tasted only of that. Staff on cellphones talking. Texting. I guess this is what happens when Sal is not there. No more!!!! This place is just for owners friends etc who have zero idea what Italian food should taste like. Such a disappointment as we went July 24th for husbands bday. Last time! I wouldn t pay for that ever again. Kid-friendliness: Great family place too. No kids meal but doesn t matter.
This place is wat u call authentic Italian owner greets u with love the food was perfect I throughly enjoyed my date night here definitely b coming back I wanna try everything
Everyone in our group loved their food. The service was a bit awkward and the atmosphere could use a bit of updating. We will return. :)
Excellent food for a great price.
Best pizza and service in town. Will be back! A+++++
I recently visited Fratelli Village Pizzeria and had an amazing experience. The staff was fantastic, and the pizza was delicious.
Amazing service!
Sal and his staff are always most welcoming. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the food is great and the service is very attentive. Highly recommended!
Vegetarian options: Good amount of options Dietary restrictions: Large range of options Parking: Parking is typically difficult to find depending on the time of day. Closer to dinner (5-8pm), you will have a different time because of the popularity of the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: As somebody who has gone here since a little child I have always been comfortable being in this restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is very accessible. But, getting out of parking may be slightly troubling.
Had a great meal, based off great recommendations from the staff. Loved it. Been there twice now
The owner Sal is so welcoming. He greets the customers when entering and leaving. The staff were friendly and polite.We got a table quickly. The service was fast. The food was outta this world. Yummmmm. The ambience felt warm, cozy and like home. It smelled great. You literally felt like you were in Italy. A definite recommendation to all.
Possibly the best pizza I have ever had. A very friendly and inviting atmosphere. Waitress was great Food : 5/5
Such a gem. There was a small wait, staff was efficient and quick. Owner also ran food and treated you like family. Was our first time in over 10 years and we are already planning a return trip. The food was outstanding.
Good food. Friendly staff.
Nice ambient Italian restaurant on Old Kingston perfect for date night. Decor and lighting was perfect and amazing service Chicken alfredo and calamari were good but not life changing
Delicious pizza and good service! Would come back :)
Great food and good experience. Went on the superbowl night and got good service even though the server was so involved in the game. I went a bit late when owner was going home and he personally came to the table to say good bye. Nice personal touch. Would visit again.
My family came for my dad s birthday. The staff were polite and welcoming. We had two children with us (3 & under) they had a fun time with staff. We had pizza, pasta, and dessert. Everything was amazing. I had the create your own calzone, it was fantastic, the tomato sauce was amazing and flavourful. If you have a special occasion or looking for a good neighbourhood spot, you gotta come here. (Picture is tiramisu) Parking: There is a limited number of spots. But easily accessible by TTC (86 Scarborough and 38 Highland Creek)
This is the Best Italian restaurant in the GTA Hands down
a delicious pizza
Every time I am here, I am treated like family. The wood fired pizza is classic and done right. Ambiance is that of a busy community restaurant in Italy.
Wholesome italian comfort food with attention to small details & lovely warm ppl. Pizza really hit a spot. Took me back in time - the good ol days of picking wisely a DVD from Blockbuster and coming back home to watch it on a 27 CRT TV while eating
Good home-style Italian cooking. I really should come to this place more often.
I dont normally write reviews. But after my experience here last night It warrants one. The reviews about racism are true. NEVER BEEN TO THIS PLACE... FIRST TIME STEPPING FOOT, FIRST INTERACTION EVERY, I SWEAR TO GOD!! ALL I DID WAS WALK IN, and the server was compelled to walk directly to my face within kissing distance. It felt like some kind of intimidation.... maybe because my younger brother and I are 2 BLACK MALES THAT ARE 61... Thats why this guy feels threatened and needs to do that....if I retaliated, all you would hear is a black man causing trouble. But guess what, looked around everyone dining in saw you acting like a fool... i just said Im here for pick up and stepped passed him to collect my food, driving around with a crying baby in the back seat, my wife is hungry and waited half an hour to pick up, I have no time for stupidity and your not worth the energy. Came back to the car, my wife tried to eat the food... there were no cutlery. She went back to ask for cutlery and asked if they normally serve without cutlery... 2 girls are talking at her all at once, saying, They didnt know we would eat it right away. ... just say sorry you missed it, give her the cutlery, are we supposed to eat with our hands? Guess what, Ill remember the deplorable service. And Im sure the people dining in and staring at us will too... Dont worry, Ill let my Engineer buddies know as well.. hey the next time Im in a director meeting and they feel for italian food, Ill let them know to stay away from here because of this experience.
What a gem of a spot. My family and I have come here a few times for a special occasion and have always been impressed with such an intimate and cozy dining experience. We cant wait to try thier wood oven pizza.
This place is so crowded, cramped and highly overrated for the food they serve. Ended up eating ravioli after a very long wait. The ravioli was so thick and hard and was served in a salty sauce.The fried Calamari tasted good. The cocktail was also average. Will never visit again
Calzones are amazing
It s a great little community restaurant. The entire team works to make you feel welcome and to share the friendly atmosphere. The food is excellent! Fratelli s is the only place we go out to eat.
Calzones real Italian love it.
I must admit, while part of me wants to keep this gem hidden, I cant help but share that its truly one of the finest Italian restaurants Ive had the pleasure of dining at. And Mamas cheesecake Simply unbeatable!
Amazing food! Had the pesto penne fratelli, the fratelli pizza and the crème brule for dessert, everything was absolutely amazing. Our server Jason and the owner Sal were so kind. This was our first time here and we will be back. Thanks so much
Went here with My Girlfriend for our very first time and the food and service was AMAZING!
Visited the restaurant a few weeks back!! Let me just say, WOW!! The food was incredible from apps to desert. I had the Penne alla Vodka (one of my favourite pasta dishes) and it was the best I have aver had. Hubby had Chicken Fettucine Alfredo and he said it was the best he had ever had. And to top it off was a pistachio cheesecake which I have no words for. It was the most decadent desert. The atmosphere was lovely albeit being very busy. Our server, Jason was very attentive and on the ball the entire service. Our good friend is the chef whom we adore and we are so proud of the wonderful food he prepares. This is a must visit restaurant if you live or happen to be in the Scarborough area. We will be visiting again soon and well into the future!!
Best pizza in town. Old fashioned Italian cooking done right.
So far, this is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the GTA. The food and staff are just phenomenal. In this part of the city, its a great place for pasta or pizza. Everything you order is made with Lots of ingredients. This is NOT one of those places where you pay $20 for a palm sized seafood pasta with one mussel, one shrimp, and one parsley leaf on top. Ordered a seafood risotto, four cheese pizza, and a homemade cheese cake. BOY! This place delivers! Must try. Wont disappoint. Went back 5 days later for Mussels appetizer, chicken pesto pizza, cisilian pizza, vodka penne, and carbonara. Wow. So good.
Terrific pizza and the service doesnt get any better. Will definitely be back.
The service is on the spot, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is very homy. Wheelchair accessibility: A bit squeezed. This place is always busy, not quite sure if the wheelchair can be accommodated. You can probably call ahead on this
First and only visit. Was promised it was really good. Turns out, wasnt what it used to be.
Delicious food & wonderful coffee. Fast friendly service. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
Went here last night for dinner on a whim. Seated right away without reservations. Service was ok nothing special and the food was good, again nothing special. It really bothered me when one of the owners came to our table and ask if things were ok, I looked him in the face and said I was freezing by the window and he saw that I was literally wrapped in my jacket. He didnt even acknowledge my comment or offer to move us as there was plenty of free tables but cut me off and continued to ask how was the food. That wasnt very nice. I dont think husband and I will go back anymore.
I hadnt been here for a few years but came back over the weekend with my partner and its only gotten better. The food and drinks were fantastic. Our server Quinn was absolutely amazing. My only complaint is that I wished I lived closer.
I just stopped by here with my boyfriend and my sister for dinner. When we arrived we were greeted and asked how many people we said three and the person said we just have someone paying the cheque so a table will be free in a 10 mins we said okay and we will wait. We were waiting more than 20 mins and when my sister approached the guy to ask how long it will be he said they paid but aren t leaving I can t kick them out but if you can t wait, you are free to leave and pointed to the door. After that we found it rude and left without waiting. That was poor customer service.
Food and service were phenomenal. Very friendly atmosphere, will definitely be going again to try the rest of the menu.
Fantastic food and fantastic service. Authentic Italian cuisine! 100% would recommend
I came here on a Saturday night with a bigger group and were treated very well. They accommodated our group even though it was busy. The food and service were great so I can see why its so busy on the weekend. Ill come back again (likely with a smaller group).
The best past and pizza in the city! Penne alla vodka is especially fantastic. Great service as well!
Went last weekend for the first time and really enjoyed our food. Pizza, pasta, Gelato, seafood- all great. Our kids have said this is the best pizza/pasta spot weve tried locally now. Service was great - owners were warm and welcoming. Kid-friendliness: Our young kids were very comfortable and enjoyed themselves. They are asking to go back already.
Great selection of pizzas! The 4 cheese pizza even it sounds simple it one lf the best.
Went here for the creme brulee and ended up buying a pizza as well. The pizza was hot with a nice thin crust but something about the crust threw me off. Not sure if there was butter or something rubbed on it that made it taste different (not in a pleasant way for me) but the pizza itself was good for a great price. However, the creme brulee was 10 dollars for like a 4 bite aka mini size. Either make it bigger for the same price or reduce the price for such a small portion. It tasted okay so that wasnt disappointing. Service was a hit!
My family and I have been going to Fratellis for years now, it is absolutely the best Italian food Ive eaten in all of Durham and the GTA. The food is next level and the service is wonderful. It is definitely my favourite restaurant, and Victorias Pizza is my favourite dish. Thank you for the many delicious meals!
Food was amazing,
Friendly local Italian place, great pizza, great service. Other dishes looked good and will get tried the next time.
OMG I can t say enough about this amazing establishment. Run don t walk you will fall in love it!
Love this place! The food is cooked with love and the staff is fanominal. Be prepared to wait alittle at the door becuase Im not the only person that loves this place... but its worth it! If I could give then 10 stars I would!
Omg the portions were large and food was yummy. Strongly recommend
Vegetarian options: Two vegan pasta options. Delicious. Food
Cozy, unique atmosphere. Great Italian food.
Love this place. Authentic Italian with friendly staff. The pizza is excellent. Its hard to chose which to get because they offer a large variety. Quaint atmosphere. Good wine selection. Would recommend checking this place out. Also offer take out.
Discovered this place about a year ago and have been a regular since. Amazing family owned restaurant! Delicious food and great service every time.
Food is great.Very tasty and rich food. However, they do not have changing table. Going there with a babe is a challenge.
You know its good if someone travels thousands of kms and this is a must stop! Happy 18th anniversary!! Great staff and chefs
Great restaurant. Food is awesome. Will definitely eat there again.
Amazing pizza and will definitely be back trying new things on the menu the restaurant smells soooo good and truly amazing service
We went and had the daily special (large portions of handmade ravioli), an order of mussels with shrimp and a pizza. The food was impeccable. Kid-friendliness: My daughter had a seizure during our stay, and the staff were very kind and concerned. They offered her ice after she had hit her face on her glass. Also the glasses are high end, they dont easily break, thank God. The staff were amazing with us. We appreciated it greatly.
We havent been back since before covid. The food is excellent, and the service is always great.
Very delicious pasta and pizza... enjoyed it.
Parking: Parking at front door Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy access
Brought here by my father-in-law, Gary J aka West Hill Gary aka Groundbeef Gary. The food smacks every time, both pasta dishes I tried were fresh and flavourful and the Salvatore Meat Pizza was a delicious mix of spicy and savoury. Go try this place out !
The place was amazing..! The ambiance was very welcoming and the food was delicious..! Vegetarian options: They have good vegetarian options
Very disappointed today. I have been going here for a long time, and I usually love it. The owner usually stops at our table every time to chat and make sure our visit exceeded expectations. However, this week on May 24th I visited with some friends and our friend was given their meal (pizza) after we had almost finished ours. The owner came by to check on us and we explained our friend was still waiting on their meal, however, he dismissed our concern and walked away without responding. We then addressed this with our waiter and he sent over a Supervisor whos comment about this service was did you come here for a good meal or a discount? This response was very inappropriate and as a customer I/we felt like the mistake of the kitchen/staff was not reflected in the way we were treated when addressing a concern such as this. Sadly, we will not return or be recommending this restaurant as we do not agree or support the way the Owner or Supervisor handled this situation and treat their customers. After this visit, I do not feel they value long time customers.
A gem, we stop for a quick bite, and we will be back again. Very cozy, friendly service, efficient and sooooo delicious. We will come back for sure. Bravissimo!
Solid neighbourhood Italian restaurant. Get there early or make a reservation. Otherwise you will be lining up (which I dont do). Good Italian food and good value and very consistent!
The food was good but the service was not great until the end. There was a boy that was serving us, and just asked a general question when do you guys close, he said until last person leaves. So we asked until 5am even, but this waitress rolled his eyes in front of our face and looked away. Didn t even answer our question properly and on top when leaving didn t mention or greet saying have a great night or anything, just walks away after getting his tips from everyone. That is very disrespectful, especially to roll your eyes in front of guests you are serving and helping. To show an attitude like that as soon as you get your tips is very rude and disrespectful. Everyone else working there was good but that one guy who was a waitress was very disrespectful in the end. It was not satisfying for that last interaction.
We really enjoyed our time at Fratellis. From the moment we walked in, we could tell we were going to have an amazing meal. The smell that hits you when you first walk in the door is impeccable. We were greeted by one of the owners and taken to our seats promptly. With a big smile on his face, the atmosphere instantly felt friendly and non-pretentious. We were then greeted by our lovely waiter, Victoria. Clearly knowledgeable on the food, she gave us recommendations based on our preferences, and I can definitely say she did an amazing job. I ordered the Pesto Penne Fratelli and my partner ordered the daily special, the Eggplant Parmesan. Both meals were delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. We finished off our meal with a delicious slice of cheesecake made by the owners Mother herself. Decadent and filling, it was a perfect way to end our meal. Even the blackberries on the plate were perfectly fresh and sweet. We will definitely be going back to Fratellis. The atmosphere, food, and service were all top notch and Id recommend anyone looking for a local Italian spot to give it a try. Thanks for the amazing evening!
Food and service are the best Ive experienced in years. Couldnt be happier with the decision of coming here. Closest to real Italian food you can get in Scarborough. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful meal.
Very delicious food and great service
Excellent Italian food in a very popular Kingston Rd location..You will not leave disappointed..
Such a good place. It s a hidden gem. Brick oven pizza and delicious pasta. It was an amazing experience with great service and vibe.
The food was amazing and the service was great. Had the calamari, Fratellis pizza, and the special shrimp and bacon pasta. The pasta has one of the best sauces Ive had and Id recommend the pizza to anyone. The owner was very welcoming and the older gentleman serving us was helpful and friendly.
Food here is delicious and Slavatore will always come by and personally check on the customers. He makes my dad feel like an absolute celebrity with his big greetings and friendly service. We love going here!
Nice restaurant to go to in the area if you don t want to go far or downtown
My friend only eats seafood and asked them to accommodate switching the chicken to shrimp and they told her to remove the chicken and pay $2.50 per shrimp which is ridiculous
Recently had the pleasure of dining at Fratelli Village Pizzeria and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere exuded a warm Italian charm that immediately made me feel welcome. To start off, we tried their Caesar cocktail and although it was good, I have to admit that their specialty lies elsewhere. The mid-day Dirty Martini wasnt quite up to par, but we quickly forgot about it once the food arrived. They also do offer a great variety of wines to pair with your meal. The deep-fried calamari was crispy and flavorful, leaving us wanting more with every bite. The pesto pizza was a true standout. The aroma of the freshly baked crust filled the air, and the combination of the fragrant pesto and quality ingredients was simply mouthwatering. It was evident that they use fresh ingredients to create their delicious pizzas. The service at Fratelli Village was top-notch. Despite our clumsiness in knocking over a full glass of water, the staff handled the situation with grace and kindness. One of the waitstaff even lightened the mood by jokingly claiming responsibility for the spill. Our waiter was incredibly patient and friendly, helping us navigate the drink menu with ease. The restaurants cleanliness and well-maintained washrooms added to the overall positive experience. The ambiance was spot-on, transporting me to an authentic Italian setting. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a welcoming environment made Fratelli Village pizzeria a place I would gladly revisit. If youre in the mood for a true taste of Italy in the area with decent pricing and excellent hospitality, I highly recommend giving Fratelli Village Pizzeria a try.
The pizza is the star of the show. The wood burning oven makes all the difference. The food is very good, but in large portions. The servers are very kind. We were given the wrong dessert, but it was still extremely good. I recommend Fratelli Village Pizzeria to anyone who wants tasty Italian food, especially Pizza. Parking: A good bit of parking, but its time limited.

Whether youre a fan of traditional Margherita pizza or prefer something more adventurous like the gourmet truffle pizza, there is something to suit every palate.

He took the time to explain the menu options, made insightful recommendations based on our preferences, and ensured that our orders were prepared to perfection. His friendly demeanor and efficient service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy. Fratelli Village Pizzaria had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with tasteful decor that created a pleasant and relaxed setting. The seating was comfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the establishment was impressive. Furthermore, the prices at Fratelli Village Pizzaria were quite reasonable considering the high quality of the food and service provided.

In conclusion, Fratelli Village Pizzaria exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of Gregs outstanding service, delectable food, and welcoming ambiance made for a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this pizzeria to anyone in search of a top-notch Italian restaurant. I cant wait to visit again and try more of their mouthwatering dishes!
Absolutely wonder place to have a bite of delicious food. I was looking at the various types of food brought from the kitchen, which makes me want to come back.
Amazing service, pizzas were bang on.
Delicious! Love the food here and the friendly atmosphere. It gets quite busy here ... For very good reasons! Always love stopping by to grab a great meal!
Good value and excellent family restaurant.
very small, but authentic Italian reservations definitely recommended. Food
AVOID THIS PLACE !!!! A friend and i wanted to go here for dinner so we waited in line like the rest of the people there. Clearly the demographic is older white people who got exceptional service and was seated within 10 minutes. When it came to use just a grunt and a let me see how long the wait is comes back and says you ll be waiting 20-30 mins so my friend quietly says lets go somewhere else and the waiter says good idea there is a place down the street . Mark our words this is not the last you are going to be hearing from us. YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS A RACIST RESTAURANT THAT ONLY SERVES THEIR OWN. I HAVE NEVER HAD SERVICE LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE.
My new favourite place. Service feels so personal. Everything on the menu is good
Very friendly house manager...good portion size, would be great local spot for pizza if you lived around the corner.
I always have a great experience here from food to servers.
Wood fired pizza was great and so was the service. Highly recommend and will be back.
Very good pizza when ordered for take out. Takes less than 10 mins to make per pie. However it is *excellent* pizza when eaten right away/dine in. The dough has the perfect chew to it. You cant go wrong with a classic margherita pizza. Seafood pasta (linguine de mare) has a rich seafood taste you expect. Red sauce a good balance between freshness and richness. Pasta cooked to a perfect al dente. Mussels cleaned well with no grit. Service was excellent - attentive and friendly.
The service and atmosphere are excellent and the food is great! Its a wonderful local family restaurant. They dont take reservations and if theyre busy the wait is long.
Best Italian place on the east side, great prices, better food and kind staff.
Food is delicious and staff/owners are super welcoming and pleasant. Highly recommend the seafood risotto flavour is incredible and big portions
Think this is a hidden gem. Food is consistently good. Portion size are great. Owners are welcoming. Seating can be an issue at times, and hours of operations doesn lend well to familys with young children, but overall not too bad. As for food, pizza and pasta dishes are their best dishes. Risotto can be variable with regards to rice consistency and salt. Steaks are usually cooked correctly, but there have been times they have been slighly over cooked.
Great Italian Pizza

Amazing authentic Italian family run restaurant- wow to start my i spilled my coke while having the amazing Calamari platter - super embarrassed - but the owner and other folks working there were so kind enough to clean without any hesitation and with courteous gestures - can t be thankful enough for that and they made sure to check few times if all are ok - omg they were all amazing and above all they serve authentic Italian pizzas, pastas etc - please do visit and support our restaurants.
Great quality food and comfortable atmosphere
small restaurant, always busy but great pizza and customer service. I love love their mushroom pizza.
Food is amazing . Service was rushed and they felt they needed to out away chairs before guests left . Not a classy feeling . Will not go back again . Amici is way better . Parking: Parking is available
Nice small italian place goid food and staff a bit noisy but popular so be warned is worth lining up for
Family run restaurant.service are excellent and friendly.i will recommend this place.if you like pasta is a place to go.
Fantastic Food. First time being here and will not be my last time. Ordered a few pizzas and apps, nothing was mediocre, or just good. It was all great. Cant wait to go back and try their pastas.
All people seem to talk about is the fantastic calamari ( which it is ) but the Chicken Parmigiano is by far the best ANYWHERE. Sal has the best staff working for him. Hope he never retires. Food : 5/5
This is the best pizza place that you can come, I love the food and the service is also great thank you Sal for your great service and hospitality all the time. Till we live in Toronto we will always come and recommend Fratelli to our family and friends. Blessings
The wood fired pizza is amazing and the chicken parmesan is a huge favorite. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent.
I visited Fratellis on October 13th for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I havent had time to express my dissatisfaction until now. I typically do not leave 1-star reviews, but my mom was SO excited to treat me for my birthday at Fratellis and our disappointing experience was unacceptable. When we walked in, we were informed of a 20-25 minute wait time, which was no problem. The food looked great and we were happy to wait. However, after 15 minutes, a hostess approached us to follow her to an available table. Our excitement was short-lived as another hostess intervened with a stop motion, bluntly and rudely stating, no, not you. - okay, no problem. We went back to our spot in line and we were happy to wait. While the abrupt dismissal was rude, what made the situation worse was when 10-15 minutes later the same hostess overlooked us and offered an available table to a couple that clearly arrived well after us. They were literally standing behind us in line. When we politely stated that we had been waiting first, the hostess coldly insisted, no, they were here before you. The couple themselves then stepped in, clarifying that we were indeed ahead of them in line. The entire interaction was awkward and uncomfortable, leaving us with the impression that we were unwelcome. The front restaurant service was just horrendous. By the time we were finally seated, the atmosphere was already tainted, and we felt like we werent the restaurants preferred clientele . At our table, I expressed to my mom that I was no longer comfortable eating there. This was upsetting because we finally had a kind server who looked puzzled, but we told him that we no longer felt welcome and stated that we would be leaving. In light of this, I would like to offer two constructive recommendations to Fratellis: 1. Encourage staff to treat all patrons with kindness. Every guest deserves respect and a positive dining experience. 2. Please implement a more organized system for managing customer line-ups. If your hostess is incapable or struggles to remember the correct order of customers, consider introducing a list or monitoring system to prevent such incidents from recurring. I hope that Fratellis takes these suggestions to heart and works towards creating a welcoming environment for ALL patrons.
Amazing experience and food .
Everything about our dinner here was amazing. From owner Sal coming over to say hello and thanking us again for waiting on a busy Saturday night, to the amazing service and of course the pizza - quite possibly THE BEST PIZZA Ive had in Toronto in the last 20 years. Looking forward to going back to try other dishes including the pastas. Such an amazing experience and a perfect place for a dinner on a Saturday night or anytime you dont feel like cooking and are craving homestyle Italian food.
Excellent pizza and pasta restaurant!
Just fabulous
Expect to be treated like family when you walk through the door! Amazing food, you have to try the pasta special: Lobster ravioli with brown butter & sage! Possibly the best pasta I ve had to date. Wonderful, warm environment with servers who treat the guests like they re dining in a nice big home. The kindest gentleman who I suspect to be either the owner or manager dropped off some delicious truffles for us to enjoy post meal. All in all Fratelli turned our regular date night into a very special and memorable experience. Very grateful to have a restaurant like this around.
Great food, Great staff and Great atmosphere.
Amazing
An amazing Italian restaurant in the East end of Toronto with wonderful food and a great ambiance. I would highly recommend it to everyone, you wont be disappointed.
Fantastic people.fantastic food!
The staff are great, food was solid and great portions. Nothing is a miss on the menu and worth multiple visits. If you go pay $5 with pasta for fresh focaccia it is worth every penny.
Amazing food, perfect ambience, awesome staff. Just go for it.
Great food and service!
First time here and it was exceptional. Got to try Gaetanos pizza, Sams pizza, Fratellis pizza, fettuccine Alfredo, fusilli arabiatta, and tiramisu. There was no miss, highly recommended, would order or dine in again.
Delicious, quick and friendly. Ordered a half a dozen pizzas for a girls night,. I was amazed when they said we could p/u in 15 minutes. Excellent service. The pizzas are excellent, wood fired Deliciousness. Vegetarian options: Margarita and four cheese pizzas are on the menu and you can also build your own.
We just visited this restaurant for the first time and had a wonderful experience. We were served by a very kind gentleman who was very pleasant. We had the spinach salad, prima vera pizza and margharita pizza. All 3 items were delicious! We look forward to coming back again soon. Definitely recommend if you havent tried Fratelli Village Pizzeria!
What a place! It was just perfect! Loved the pizzas!
The food is amazing.
THE place to do pizza. Masonry oven baked, and they taste phenomenal. Highly recommended.
Great atmosphere, that of a rustic utallian village. The portions are plenty and the service is impeccable, perfect for date night! Parking: Row of diagonal spots in front of store
Nice spot on Old Kingston Road, very friendly staff. Their pizza was worth every bite, fantastic crust. Our entrees were great. Thanks Fratelli Village for a great night.
Great place, no reservations. Not much in terms of vegan options
Absolutely amazing service and food 10/10 will definitely be back
Cant go wrong with Pizza here!
