We arrived on Saturday evening for dinner. The atmosphere was outstanding from the start! We were seated along the wall of windows overlooking the river. Our server, Joy, attended to us immediately and continued throughout our stay. We ordered entrees of Chicken Marsala and Scallops and Steak. Both meals were fabulous, not only in presentation, but flavor and portions, as well. Our experience was so good, that we decided to come back in the morning for brunch, since were staying overnight in Appleton anyway. The brunch was another great experience – we both dined on the lobster and shrimp with cheeses omelet. The warmed sticky roll presented after we sat down was delicious, which we enjoyed with our coffees while waiting for the entrees. The seating was, again, along the window wall – the mallard ducks and snow certainly made for a lovely view. Thank you for making our time in Appleton a very pleasant one.

Delicious fresh food! Great Atmosphere! Great Waitstaff & Host!
I haven't been here in awhile and I was pleasantly reminded how much I have been missing out. It's tucked away at the bottom of the hill in downtown Appleton right by the locks. All staff was excellent-attentive and friendly from beginning to end of our dining experience. Fratello's has an open atmosphere with multiple options for great views of the water. This openness continues with clean lines of decor and white linens to gave way to a comforting reassurance that I chose the right place to enjoy our luncheon. Even with the open-airy feel, we were still able to hold a private conversation with each other without hearing our neighbors or extra background noise.
We both enjoyed Bam, Bam Shrimp for appetizers. Huge portion to share among us. The shrimp were a good size with a light, airy batter presented on spinach leaves. We had the Bam, Bam sauce on the side just in case it was too spicy. It was not spicy but it had a great little creamy kick to it.
Shortly afterward, our main course came. What was nice about dining for a late lunch on a Saturday was the option of brunch items to choose from. We both got Eggs Monterey. The poached eggs were perfect-I was thoroughly impressed. They were placed over delectable crab cakes with sliced tomatoes as well as spinach sauteed composed on a toasted circular croissant with just the right amount of Hollandaise sauce to compliment the entry.
Everything about this place is amazing! The food selection and quality was great, and the view/history of the place is perfect for a romantic setting. Highly recommend checking it out! Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be back!

Went there for a romantic date with the wife and we got an awesome window seat right by the locks. The food was awesome I got salmon and it's was very good along with the veggies which are done and seasoned very well. I would recommend this place to others
Great food, great service, spectacular view, and in an incredible building with a fascinating history! What's not to like?
Thank you!
The scallops were the best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious, seared to perfection. � � Oh! And I should mention a lovely view too. Great date place.�
My husband & I found this place while enjoying a long weekend for our 30th wedding anniversary.
Great atmosphere & excellent food!
We will return if we are back in the area!
A group of 25 of us ate at Fratello's after touring Hearthstone. I was so impressed with how fast the food came out and how good the service was. And the food was absolutely excellent!
Great atmosphere and the bruschetta chicken entree was phenomenal. Can’t wait to visit again!
Beautiful view. Friendly manager. We were there in the middle of the afternoon, the waitress didn’t offer suggestions of options like the salad dressings or filling our water. We had to ask. The food was good, nice presentation. Almond crusted walleye was amazing. Scallops were good but only came with three and for the price, at least four would have been nice 😊 The mushroom, cheese and prosciutto risotto was good but heavy on the salt. Overall, the atmosphere and the manager got this review the five star.
Had a nice dinner experience. Atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. River view with the dam was very nice also. Restaurant was clean and well maintained. Service was good and the flow of food arriving at the table was spaced perfectly. Enjoyed a blueberry basil margarita that was a great mix of sweet and tart. Also enjoyed some delicious truffle fries before steak and scallops for dinner. Highly recommend stopping in to enjoy some apologizes and drinks or for a nice quiet dinner experience.
Had a really nice experience here last night! I had a sweet server her name was Hannah and she was very pleasant and kind. My steak wasn’t cooked they way I wanted so they remade it for me and took a percentage off my bill. There was a manager who came to the table and offered me a salad or side while they cooked it. I’m not sure of his name but he had a Patagonia sweater on and was very kind and professional. Very good experience even on a busy Friday night! Thanks Fratellos
Fratellos's is wonderful. Had a drink at the bar before dinner. Bar service was great and drinks were great. Had dinner and loved everything. Food was prepared very well and super appealing presentation. Our server was Rose and she was amazing. Very helpful and attentive. Great atmosphere and beautiful views. Enjoyed our night visiting family in the area and look forward to going back!
What a gem. The restaurant is located in the downtown on the river front in an old paper mill. Our server (Andie) was simply awesome! Very engaged in doing a great job. We felt very welcomed. The beverages were great, dinner was good and desert was awesome. Glad we found this place.
We took a large group of coworkers there and once again had a wonderful experience. Great job to the staff at Fratellos!
Went on Friday 5/27/22 and I always make a reservation as they can get busy. Our server told us they had added several new items to the menu. He recommended the new chicken caprese (pictured) and it was wonderful. It came with small potatoes and had a balsamic drizzle over everything that was fantastic. Yum yum! I'd highly recommend trying it.
