Dear Fratello's: You've changed my life.......before you, the only Italian restaurants (if you can even call them Italian....) on the west side that I knew of were the trifecta of chains: Brio, Buca and Manero's. Many a time I drove past and didn't think of stopping b/c of the fugly strip mall exterior. I admit I was a bit turned off. Then, one night we decided to check it out and Kate, our new favorite bartendress, sealed the deal. She holds court at the bar and treats you like family/a regular. Now we saddle up to the bar and are hooked. We are sorry we missed out on Fratello's goodness for a year on the west side proving you can't judge a book by it's cover!
