I Fratellini

A hidden gem in a quaint neighborhood business district on the outskirts of Downtown, Clayton-- our party of three had one of the best meals at this Italian eatery. It's a romantic dimly lit space that warrants a reservation, unless you go early in the week. They start you with a pistachio butter and warm bread loaf. Don't fill up on it-- grab an app and just wait for the entree that's to come!! Unmatched attention to service and detail, the wait staff will make your night out worry free. They predict you next need and still give you time to breath, not hovering over your every bite. House made pastas with or without meat. Fresh salads with exotic cheeses. A two-page wine list, but why not grab a Manhattan, one of the best your lips will meet! We let our food settle in and took in the ambiance before ordering and sharing two desserts. Total for 3 entrees, a salad, a round of cocktails and two desserts: $185. It doesn't have to be a special occasion to visit i Frattelini!

Visited for an anniversary meal while in St. Louis for the weekend. Delicious selection of Italian food with fascinating chef specials. Treated us to some sparking wine and we also enjoyed some of their grappa and amaro. Friendly and engaging wait staff. Our server steered us in the right direction when ordering. Would definitely return. Expensive but a good value for the money.

Found my way to I Fratellini while I was in St. Louis for work last week. Easily the best place I’ve been to in St. Louis and will be back. The restaurant is in a gorgeous neighborhood, the food was wonderful, and staff even better. I enjoyed the rack of lamb and had a nice glass of wine, all very reasonably priced for the quality. Can’t wait to return on my next visit to St. Louis!

Five star treatment, along with mouthwatering, delicious, stunningly plated food in a cozy, romantic setting is what you'll find at I Fratellini. We started our anniversary meal with Champagne and hors d'oeuvres across the street at Bar Les Freres ~ we loved the bright, lush decor, intuitively attentive service, and brilliantly plated food. At I Fratellini, we started with the Pan Seared Day Boat Scallops that were perfectly cooked, along with more Champagne (table vases had real roses that were cut low enough to not obscure guest's view). Our second app was an off-menu special that consisted of prosciutto and creamy burrata. We dined on grilled rack of lamb (with grain mustard, herb glaze and escalloped potatoes) and grilled duck breast (with roasted nectarine compote over creamy polenta). We were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable pricing for our dining experience. Thank you Bar Les Freres and I Fratellini for a memorable evening that was a great delight to our senses. We're looking forward to our next meal.

WE stopped by here on advice from a local friend, while visiting family in town. What a pleasant and surprising time we had at this so-wonderful-all-around restaurant. First of all, the staff was simply great - inviting, kind, and informative. The menu ---and decor'--- was like being in a swank hi-end cafe' in NYC, and surprising in a town as St Louis. Even though we were given a heads-up by the referenced friend - never thought this restaurant would be such a gem... And the food was simply fabulous. I had the Pistaccio crusted trout, she had the lobster ravioli and salad. A+++ / 10 all around. And the prices were surprisingly low for such tasty special meals. I could not finish all the trout, such a huge portion! If you happen to be in StL or Clayton - make a point to stop by...you will not be disappointed, trust me!

As a local guide and a modern cooking specialist I have been in many many restaurants in the area and this place is just the best! O.M.G. I loved the food, and service and everything! I ordered Pistachio Encrusted Trout and it was just fabulous, I love seafood and this fish was just great! My husband ordered Grilled Beef Filet and he was super satisfied with the food! Service was great as expected in this place. Highly recommend this place!

I have never been disappointed while having lunch or dining at I Fratellini. The food, regardless of what I order, is consistently outstanding! The service is friendly, guests are made to feel welcomed and not rushed. Since it is a small, popular place reservations are definitely recommended. The place I choose to bring out of town guests first.
