If you're looking for a cozy spot with delicious food on Melrose, this is a must visit! As a local, I find myself stopping by often, and every time, it's a consistently great experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the shrimp tacos are hands down one of the best things on the menu -- perfectly cooked shrimp with a nice balance of spice and flavor.Ev is always so welcoming and goes out of her way to ensure we have a great experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal this place delivers every time. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out!

Yelp to the rescue, once again. Needed a Sunday Brunch spot and a quick Yelp search led me here. Boy, o, boy, Fratelli Cafe is all the hype. Let's jump right into this review. First, there is an old mailbox at the entrance. They use it for the host/hostess to greet customers. I thought it was the coolest look. IJS. It stood out for good reason. What did we have? Chicken & Waffle - $20.00belgian waffle, two pieces of fried chicken breast, served with maple syrup - Yum, yummy! Bee Gees - $18.00eggs, turkey bacon, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, feta - I requested no feta, bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Not a bad dish, overall. Great flavor for what I had left over after my "special requests ". Pros1. Service is amazing. This place is setup that every employee is your server. No one shrugs when you ask a question or require assistance. You won't hear, let me get your server here. 2. Food is flavorful! Bon appetit. 3. They have electronic and paper menus. 4. Cool decor - exposed wood, hanging bikes, and greenery. Cons1. Street parking only. Pay the meters. Read the signs. 2. Only 1 bathroom. I didn't use it, so, I can't speak to the cleanliness. But, I sat close to it and saw it was getting use often. Other things to know: - Fratelli gets busy. I suggest a reservation. - Waiter/waitress doesn't take your order at your table. You review the menu and order at the register. - Seating is close proximity to other people/tables.I recommend Fratelli Cafe. It's worth pulling up. So, don't delay, add this place of a gem to your list of eateries to try.

Nothing to rave about. The food was nothing special. It lacked flavor and the place appears rundown. The upholstery on one of the booths is falling apart. Sadly, the best thing was the infused free water. The reviews and photos about this place are misleading but at the end of the day, each person is entitled to their own opinion.

Phenomenal Experience at Fratelli CafeFrom the moment my friend and I stepped into Fratelli Cafe in Marina del Rey, we were blown away by the exceptional service. The servers were phenomenal--super kind, conversational, and attentive. Truly a 10/10 experience!The menu offered an impressive variety of items, making it hard to choose. This time, I went for the buttermilk pancakes with scrambled eggs, applewood bacon, and powdered sugar dusted over the pancakes, served with warm syrup on the side--a detail I absolutely loved. My guest had the croissant French toast topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries, along with a side of scrambled eggs and a Matcha latte green tea. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented.Although the interior is a bit small, it has a cozy, community-oriented vibe that makes it charming, especially considering they just opened this location three months ago. The option to dine inside or outside adds to the café feel. I also learned their main location is in Melrose, and I'm excited to try it out in the future.Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. This spot is a must-visit! My overall experience: 10/10.

Quick to get our food! The crunchy french toast was great! The potatoes could use a little bit of work. Food got cold kinda quick because of the open door.

I can eat breakfast anytime of day, and Fratelli Cafe delivers! Their croissant French toast with fresh strawberries & blueberries, applewood smoked bacon, eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, & the Newtown burrito were definitely worth trying! I really enjoyed the butteriness of the French toast paired w. fresh fruit & the tender crispness of the bacon! The ambiance is chill, a step up from casual. Their decor is simple. The service fine. Nothing stellar, but I'll definitely be back for the Croissant French Toast!

Cold food. Bad service. Basic food. Considering the area the restaurant is located you'd think they'd step their game up. Everything felt pre-made or reheated and for the low quality of the food, the prices are insane! Never going back.

What you would imagine "brunching" in LA would be like - cozy, aesthetic, and yummy!I really liked the wooden aesthetic and service was extremely friendly. In my opinion, it's overall a smaller seating area, so I would suggest going in no bigger groups than 4.The food was your standard brunch menu but it served its purpose to its potential :)* Shakshuka - warm, flavorful highly recommend!!

The waiters here are so accommodating and nice. The service here is exceptional and they made us feel so welcome, especially Bernie, Leo, and Eric. It was our friend's birthday and they made her feel extra special. Love the food, the portions were huge and very filling. Would definitely come back!!!
