Celebrating my birthday here 2024Ordered all kinds of lobsters and king crab meat!Taste good and healthy. Ocean favors best service and fresh food. Also ordered the rock of lamb which is my favorite! My father ordered sea bass,I asked change the sauce to white bean sauce under the sea bass which is the best fish dish in the world!

We went for a celebration of Love; the atmosphere was nice we reserved one of the rooms because it was16 of us. I ordered the rack of lamb (4 pieces) I can't complain they came out medium well how I asked, they were also very meaty so I cant complain about the price.Can't say anything wrong about the oysters we ordered a total of 48 and each batch was fresh: the calamari on the other hand was super bland and chewy probably wouldn't get this again (side note: there was also shrimp and scallops in this dish which didn't taste as bland. I forgot to ask the others how was there meal.

Located in Encore Casino, Fratelli emits luxurious flair. The dining area is nice, and the staff are friendly professionals at what they do. For food, we ordered two appetizers and one pasta dish. We shared this amongst 3 people, since the food was a bit pricey. Together we paid about $84 without tip, so that comes out to about $35 per person.The taste was good, but wish we ordered some extra veggies. The portions are decently sized, so we were mostly full afterwards. I will come back if I have some points, but too pricey for out-of-pocket! I would give a 3.75 if I could!

We got a reservation the same night on Saturday. The atmosphere was dark and casual. Parking is located right under and it's in the Encore casino. The gnocchi was okay (chewy) and didn't pair well with the sauce. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The seabass was good, but the sauce was not my favorite. The mussels were my favorite part as it was flavorful and a great addition to our meal. Overall the prices are on the more expensive side for Italian food. Service was fast and they were very nice!

It was nice to get a reservation the same night on a Thursday. Atmosphere wasn't too loud which was unexpected considering they have quite a few tables. The seared tuna, while it was good, didn't have ANY truffle flavor at all, but was otherwise tasty. The osso bucco was very tasty, risotto was on point with saffron and the veal came right off the bone. The short rib came apart, but I was a bit disappointed by the polenta and that the sauce seemed a little too sweet. Almost tasted like a BBQ sauce. I'm not sure I'd come back, but it was decent if you know exactly what to order and fits your budget. Decided not to order any appetizers since the server said they'd be small.

We were recently visiting the Encore to view the holiday foliage display and to do a bit of gaming. Be aware, all patrons must be 21+ to dine here. Everyone is asked for their ID to get into the casino. There are no exceptions, this is state law. Fratelli is located inside of the Encore Casino near the Sportsbook. It is an upscale, casual Italian spot known for charcuterie, raw bar, seafood appetizers/entrees, fresh pastas, meatballs, short ribs, fresh fish, brick-oven chicken, veal, and branzino. You'll also find prime beef and chops that are cooked in their brick-oven. The meats are a la carte, sides are extra. However, the sides are large enough for two to share. I highly recommend the Baby Brussels Sprouts. You'll find filet mignon, New York Strips, Ribeyes, Tomahawks, Veal Chops, & Rack of Lamb. We had two people in our party and stopped by without a reservation at around 8PM on a Tuesday. The casino was fairly busy, however they were able to seat us promptly. The decor and design is upscale and modern, without overdoing it. We decided to start off with some appetizers. We ordered the Dry Aged Beef Carpaccio. It is served with Arugula, Shaved Parmigiana, & Truffle Essence. The presentation was spectacular and the carpaccio was paper thin. It was so thin, it was nearly impossible to get off the plate. We just were not a big fan of it, it just had a very off taste. It may have been the dry-aged beef or the truffle essence. Next, we ordered the Caprese con Mozzarella di Bufala. Fresh, juicy orange and red vine-ripe tomatoes served with incredibly rich mozzarella and finished with basil pesto. The tomatoes were juicy and the mozzarella was very rich and creamy. It practically melted in your mouth. We also had some of the complimentary bread and olives with our appetizer. The bread is more of a rustic-style type bread. It is served with EVOO, Roasted Garlic, & Marinated Olives. The bread was certainly old and stale, it was quite a challenge to just break a piece off. Olives were phenomenal. Lastly, we decided to split the "Maori". It is fresh angel hair, Pomodoro sauce, shaved parmigiana, and it is served with two of Mom's meatballs. The server topped it off with grated cheese upon request. The pasta was cooked perfectly and they gladly split the entree perfectly between two plates. We asked for light sauce. It's debatable if that was followed, as it was still very heavy on the sauce. The sauce was well balanced, not acidic. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not overcooked and not undercooked. Service was very on point with taking your order and getting the food out quickly. They had our appetizers out within 5-minutes of ordering. We are slow eaters and like to savor the flavor when we are spending money. I'd highly recommend spacing out your meal so everything doesn't come out at one time. We also found out after paying the check that they offered a full raw-bar with oysters, crab, lobster, clams, and more. We were never given the small, paper menu by the host or our server. I won't lie, that really bummed us out.The food and service is certainly good, but could definitely be improved. They seemed more concerned about turning the table quickly over delivering a five-star experience. The prices demand a better experience. If you're expecting North-End quality Italian- you'll be disappointed. It is certainly a good pick if you're at the Encore. However, I wouldn't go out of my way for it or pay the inflated prices that are asked on the menu. They're more expensive than some of the nicest Italian spots in the North End. Lastly, if you come here on a Friday or Saturday and get hungry they do offer a late-night menu from 12-2AM. You'll find brick-oven pizzas and calzones.

I've been here several times and always love the ambiance. The first time was to celebrate a friend's birthday. We order apps and mains to share. My favorite was the sautéed mussels and clams. The calamari & grotto misto was delicious, but I thought the portion size was disappointing. I thought their special-of-the-day paella and pastas were so good. The deconstructed tiramisu was put together table side which I thought was super cool. I wouldn't say it's my fave but the presentation factor was excellent. They make one of the best mojito mocktails. The second time I came was for date night. We were seated closer towards the back with a more intimate vibe which I loved. We got the mussels again and it was just as delish as the first time. Hubby ordered the Chilean Sea Bass in Agrodolce. He loved it but I it was a little too sweet for my preference. I ordered the the special of the day paella again because I loved it last time. The portion was huge and the flavor was good but it didn't arrive as hot as the other dishes do midway through it, it had cooled down significantly. One (small) downside is that the bathroom is located outside the restaurant where you have to exit the casino area. I know it's not far but it doesn't feel convenient.

Back again! I must say last years visit was better but it was still good. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. Lamb was good but it was surprisingly breaded which was a tad odd. Chicken parm was average, nothing special, although the sauce seemed very fresh. Calamari and fritto misto had a lot of seafood in it too, very nice. Service was professional and quick.

I went with a group of friends who frequent this restaurant when they hit up the Encore Casino.We had an early dinner. The service and ambiance were impeccable. I tried the Pistachio Martini which was yummy. At the recommendation of my friends, I ordered the Bolagnase. It was flavourful and hot.I'd return to try more menu items
