Located directly off of Camino De Los Mares near the old Krikorian Theater and Ralphs, Fratello’s is the perfect place for a last-minute night out or a thoughtfully planned reservation. Whether you go with your friends, family, or a date, you’re sure to have a great time. With a spacious setting and a warm ambiance complete by candle-lit booths and an enticing aroma of oregano and rosemary, Fratello’s is both comforting and exciting.

If that setting isn’t beckoning enough, the food is sure to win you over. Fratello’s boasts an abundance of classic Italian dishes, such as pizza and cheese tortellini, in addition to many that have an exciting coastal-inspired twist, such as their “Shrimp Parmigiana” dish. And to top your meal off, the restaurant offers such delectable desserts as a “Chocolate Wipe Out,” a true chocolate-lover’s dream with two layers of chocolate cake filled with double-chocolate mousse.

“One of my favorite parts of the meal is the appetizer, and the restaurant has some amazing bruschetta bread,” senior Elijah Chuc commented. “I also loved how the staff was really on top of things and polite, and the entire experience felt both chill and fancy at the same time.” 

Whether it be for Valentine’s Day, a birthday party, or a simple night out, Fratello’s dishes out some of the best Italian cuisines in town! Visit Fratellos at 647 Camino De Los Mares #126647 Camino De Los Mares #126, San Clemente, CA 92673, or view their online menu today!
