Review from Kim S.
7/19/2009
On our recent visit to the capital of Canada, our friends took us to dinner to Fratelli. It's near their house and it has a gluten free pasta which is critical for one of our friends.
There were six in our party (four adults, two children). They seated us quickly despite we had canceled our reservations a half hour before. Our waitress was really nice and made sure that we got bread quickly for the two kids at the table. She took our orders quickly and left us to our own devices. It did take awhile to get our main courses but it was a busy night.
My husband got a caprese salad that he liked and I got an antipasto salad with pickled veg, cheese and meat with lettuce and the house dressing. Both of us enjoyed our salads.
We ordered for mains a gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce for my husband (pretty good), meat filled cannoloni (a bit bland and the sauce tasted vaguely canned even if it wasn't) for me and a four cheese mac and cheese for our son. It was my fault for not asking what four cheese were in the mac and cheese since it is NOT listed on the menu but when it arrived, it had gorgonzola in it. Our three year old took a lick and immediately said "EWWW!" I had a couple of bites and though an interesting thing to put in gorgonzola, it overwhelmed the pasta to me.
What was the best thing? The chocolate terrine. The triangle chocolate mousse encased in white chocolate was sinfully rich splayed over a sharp and sweet raspberry sauce was really amazing. My friend said that she had sent her husband to Fratelli solely for the chocolate terrine some nights when she was having intense cravings.
Fratelli is okay. I'm not saying avoid it. Just don't go in with big expectations.
