North End restaurateurs Frank DePasquale and Nick Varano have brought their famous Italian fare to Encore Boston Harbor.

Their passion for food and hospitality is quite evident in their brand new restaurant, Fratelli.

This is the first joint restaurant for these prominent North End restauranteurs, and it has exceeded all expectations and more.

The open kitchen, large brick oven, and familial atmosphere are reminiscent of their other establishments.

From seafood, to pasta, to steak, the menu features all of your Southern Italian favorites.

Start with the Zucchini Flowers, seasonal flowers stuffed with goat cheese, and lemon zest.

The Alaskan King Salmon is award worthy in my book. The pan seared salmon is paired with roasted fennel, shallots, and a white bean puree to top it off.

And you’re sure to be amazed by the twenty-four ounce prime bone-in ribeye. The meat is tender and rich in flavor, meaning this will quickly become your favorite dish.

So, if you’re looking for a quick escape from the Vegas flair, make your way into Fratelli for a true neighborhood restaurant experience.
