Fratelli's village pizzeria is probably one of the best kept secrets in Scarborough. I actually have a friend that lived in the neighbourhood her entire life, went to church across the street and had no idea this place existed!
That being said, secret or no secret, this place is always busy with locals. On any given night, you can expect the restaurant to be full and there will probably be a wait. We actually didn't sucessfully eat at the restaurant until our third try!
Fratelli is known for their pizza. They have a wood burning oven in the restaurant and a large selection of thin crust pizzas as well as pastas, risottos and mains. Their calamari is also the best in the city and by that, I mean Toronto, not just Scarborough.
If you have room after dinner, be sure to order a Tiramisu. It is not to be missed! I am not a huge Tiramisu fan but after a bite, I was instantly a convert.
There aren't many restaurants in Scarborough that I'd consider nice enough for a special occasion. While this is not a "fancy" place, it is definitely nice enough for a date and not stuffy enough that you can't bring your entire family including the kids.
