    The waitstaff is extremely slow, and it takes an hour to prepare the food. I do not recommend this place.!!

    I went to Fratelli by Jholanos for lunch with my mom, and we both absolutely loved it. The food was delicious from start to finish — from the Buffalo Mozzarella & Prosciutto antipasto to the Truffle Ravioli and Tiramisu for dessert, everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The menu is a bit limited, so don’t expect too many options, but what they do offer is done exceptionally well. One thing I didn’t know before going is that they don’t serve wine or any type of alcohol since they don’t yet have the license. However, they do allow you to bring your own bottle with no corkage fee, which is a great plus. If I had known that ahead of time, I would’ve definitely brought my own bottle! The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance felt cozy and intimate. Overall, a lovely little spot in Kendall for a quiet, high-quality Italian meal.

    I don’t really get the hype. We dined here on a Sunday afternoon. There was 1 person servicing the whole place. There was dirt all over the floor. The rugs were dirty. Zero ambiance. The menu is limited & pricey for what they serve. All the food is extremely indulgent & heavy, smothered in sauces & fatty. It’s like you’re repeating the same flavors over & over again. The only thing you end up tasting is tomato sauce & cheese. It lacks freshness. They don’t have a liquor license & we’re out of sprite. Kitchen was slow. Only 2 desserts: tiramisu & pistachio tres leches which was overly sweet & tasted like it was made in a factory in Hialeah, then frozen & brought to your table. I left feeling like I had eaten a heavy brick. Overall, disappointing experience & won’t be back. Why is it so hard to find good food in Miami that is decently priced?

    I came here on a Wednesday night, surprisingly busy for a midweek evening, but I was still able to get a table. The service was amazing! My server, Sherri, was super informative about the menu and had such great energy. The other server, Alejandro, was also very kind and attentive to my table. On top of the excellent service, I loved that the restaurant offers BYOB since they don’t have their beer and wine license yet. It’s such a nice touch that they don’t charge a corkage fee — very impressive! The food was just as great as the service. We ordered the Zucca Ravioli, Caesar Salad, and Cast Iron Skillet Meatballs — everything was cooked perfectly. The ravioli had a slightly sweet flavor that felt perfect for the fall season. I should’ve ordered more garlic bread because it was super soft and crunchy. Overall, I’d absolutely come back again — and next time, I’m bringing more wine! 😅🍷
