My friends and I were so happy with our dining experience at Fraschetta. Despite it being a busy Friday night and the restaurant was packed, our servers were friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout dinner. Between the 11 of us, we ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees and dessert and everything was so yummy! We did family style but the squid pasta and creme brulee were my favorites! Will come back again for sure!

This BYOB is quite a find. The pappardelle is exquisite. I was intrigued by the place because they had wild boar (pappardelle ai cingiale) on the menu. And the cingiale dish was absolutely delicious. Perfect chew, perfect amount of sauce, and such a rich sweet flavor. Reminded me of having that dish in Italy. Even the slices of Italian bread with olive oil that were put on the table were exceptional—so much chew and flavor. My parter had the pappardelle ai funghi which she adored. And I recommend the side of artichokes.

The food is delicious. Bread and pasta are made fresh. The gnocchi and crab and corn fritter appetizers were delicious. Ordered Lobster Ravioli from their weekly special and I've been wanting more eversince.

We stopped in on a Thursday evening in February for dinner prior to seeing a show at the Ardmore Music Hall. I had originally left this review for Avalon Bar and Bistro because that’s where we thought we were and where we intended on going but just found out we were actually at Fraschetta. The doors to both restaurants must be side by side. Funny tho because we were wondering why it was BYOB but called a wine bar. We did not have a reservation but were seated promptly in the upstairs dining area. Again, thinking we were at Avalon Bar and Bistro, we were confused about the BYOB so we drank the water that was offered at the table only. We never even thought to ask the server. We shared the eggplant appetizer, shrimp risotto and branzino special. The food was delicious. Our server was friendly, professional and attentive. The atmosphere was easygoing but also sophisticated. Perfect for a date night or a fun girls night out. Prices were comparable to other similar restaurants we have been too. This was an overall very good experience even tho we were not where we thought we were lol!

My fiancee and I love this restaurant! It’s the most authentic Italian restaurant we’ve been to in the US. Which makes sense because a man at our cigar lounge who grew up in Rome, Italy suggested it to us. It’s his childhood friend from Rome who owns the place. Cute small restaurant, definitely make a reservation. BYOB with fabulous service. Plus the food is always great! Definitely go hungry!

This place is the epitome of a perfectly executed dining experience. From the time you walk in, the attention to detail is impeccable. The ambiance was so lovely - dim, romantic lighting, with just enough spotlights to enhance the food and table tops. The service was 10/10. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. The owner, Phuong is incredibly sweet and walked us through the menu with detailed recommendations. Water glasses were never empty, and the pacing of the meal was spot on- not rushed, but also never a long wait between courses. The food was PHENOMENAL. The pappardelle with forest truffle mushrooms was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. The pork tenderloin stuffed w/ prosciutto was PERFECTION and packed with flavor. It was paired with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed greens which were excellent compliments to the pork. The crab and corn fritters served over whipped lemon ricotta was a religious experience and a must-try. Fraschetta’s exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, a celebratory dinner, or even a casual girls night out. The true definition of what a restaurant should be, from start to finish.
