   We had a good meal. We enjoyed artichokes & crab fritters for our appetizers. Our dinner entrees were braciole & chicken cutlet cotelleta. All were delicious. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake. Very good.

   We had a fantastic meal tonight. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. Our food came at a reasonable time after we ordered and was delicious. Would absolutely return to this gem.

   Food mediocre. Pasta undercooked in one dish. Rigatoni was noted on menu as coming with eggplant. Dish had no discernible eggplant- looked like a plate of noodles with an unremarkable sauce. Pork chop was bland. Waitress forgot to order one of the entrees so everyone at the table was finished eating before the missing entree was served. Will not return!

   Sadly, won’t be back. Fish special (hake) was overcooked and dry. Wild boar pasta was missing the boar and too sweet. Split a Caesar salad, two entrees and one desert for $100 plus tip.

   We had an extremely disappointing experience at Fraschetta last night. It had been a few years since we had been to the restaurant, and we understand it’s under new ownership. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the food continues to be good, we may never return to the restaurant. We made a reservation on OpenTable for 8:30pm. We arrived at 8:35 and waited for about 5min for the table to be ready. Within 10min of sitting down, the wait staff approached our table and told us that we had to put an order in within the next 5min because the kitchen was closing. We took that in stride and provided our order. Dinner came and we were enjoying our meal with friends. After the main course, we ordered dessert and proceeded to linger over dinner the way any patron would in any restaurant. There were three full tables on the second floor including ours at that time. At roughly 10:20 the restaurant threw all the overhead lights on to make it known they wanted us all out of there. In all my years of dining, I have never had a restaurant chase its customers out in that manner. Every patron on the second floor looked at one another in disbelief. It felt like we were being chased out of a fraternity party. We decided to ignore the rude signal and continue our meal and conversation. Shortly thereafter, one of the restaurant employees approached our table and asked us to wrap our dinner up because they were closing. This was less than 2hrs after we arrived. Under no circumstances should a restaurant offer an 8:30pm reservation in a fine dining establishment if they aren’t comfortable with the patrons being there for two hours. It truly was one of the weirdest restaurant experiences we’ve ever had.

   Excellent food and excellent, friendly service, in a relaxing setting, at a fair price. Frachetta is truly a neighborhood germ. Highly recommended.

    Was hoping for a better experience after not dining here for several years. Food was fine, but not really good let alone great. Our table upstairs was fairly quiet until a very loud table for 4 got seated next to us; they were nearly “screaming” their conversation across their table. Will most likely not be eating there again.
