FraLi Gourmet

"I made reservations as this place is tiny. 4 meals. The pasta was fresh and hand made. Fettuccine and tortellini was delicious. The Alfredo sauce was good. However the 2 ravioli meals left me sad. The shrimp and the dried tomato ravioli were both hard and both only lightly tossed in the sauce. I thought the sauce might be the star of the show but I barely had enough to coat the ravioli and I couldn't really taste the lobster sauce. The ravioli filling was skimpy. The dessert they sold was delicious both the creme Brule and the amaretto cream was perfectly flavored. The place seemed family run and the place had an old world homely feel. They also have an area that shelves take home versions of the products they use/sell. The wait staff could have been a bit more attentive and management probably should have been making rounds to the small patron area. I will go back for the fresh pasta and to try (hopefully) some of the dozen different sauces they offer. I must apologize for not taking pictures of the pasta, it didn't constitute a picture as the plates came out less than desired which didn't evoke enough joy or wow to do so even though the camera was on and ready."

"As an Italian-American who grew up on amazing Italian food, I usually disappointed when dining in an Italian restaurant. I have been to FraLi twice and the food and service are excellent. My only critique is that both times I was overwhelmed with the smell of cleaning product (Pine Sol?) while eating and that definitely impacts the experience. I switch to something less pungent would allow me to give 5 stars on Atmosphere as well."

"Being from a family that owned an Italian Deli it is great to see a neighborhood place like this with scratch-made pasta/Italian food. It’s part small market, but mostly a place with tables to enjoy the food fresh. The red sauce tasted like grandma’s and the sage butter sauce was aromatic and perfect with their homemade pappardelle. Great prices and portions too. You are now on my “must-eat” list when in town. Eat here and say “grazi” later!"

"Great place, with excellent home made pasta and sauces. Service was quick in spite of being slammed because a concert was about to start nearby. Had the meatballs also, which were terrific. Will definitely go again."

"Frali is a true hidden gem family owned Italian restaurant. Nothing fancy - they have less than 10 tables and sell fresh pasta and sauces as well. Pasta was fresh, light, cooked perfectly and just the right portion. Best pasta I’ve had in a long time or maybe ever. Just be sure to check their hours."
