Fratelli

We went for a special occasion a couple of months ago and were disappointed considering the reputation of the place. I much prefer the one on Stamford.
The food was very nice, as expected, however the service was quite slow. The main issue with fratelli at castor is that due to the nature of the room it can be too loud, to the extent where you can’t hear each other to have a conversation. In an Italian restaurant in a semi-​rural setting this isn’t really what we expected

Went there last night with my wife — for St Valentine’s Day. Very disappointed. I have been to the Fratelli’s at Stamford (pre-​fire of course) and was more impressed by that establishment. To be fair and balanced, when th efood was good it was very good (eg Lamb Shank, meatballs, desserts) — but a number of the dishes were very poor indeed. The Bruschetta was inedible as the toasted bread was like leather — and teh knives too blunt to cut! I have never seen that before. The pasta my wife had was obviously home-​made — and very good. However, as non drinkers I was disappointed that the only jiuces they had were apple, orange and pineapple — and not great quality either. BUT the real dampers were: (a) their own water — was it tap water? It tasted like it — and the bottle was brought to the table without a cap (b) the atmosphere — what are the other writers talking about? It was dreadful. Old fashioned, loud, and full of chav youngsters who couldn’t be assed to dress up for the evening.
© Again, I cannot understand the other writers when they say they have a broad menu — they don’t! Luckily, what they do have is generally good though. (d) The menu cards were dirty and stained. Very cheap presentation.
Finally, the waiting staff are not the friendliest we have ever experienced.
Paid about £60 for two course meal for two — one juice each — one shared bottle of (tap?) water. Not great value — but we hve been to worse.
I am being generous in giiving 3 stars — but if you are happy with food being good and willing to sacrifice all other factors, then it is a fair description.

Yet another great meal.

Fratelli’s is located in the quiet village of Castor in Peterborough & offers a more upmarket alternative to the usual franchises in town. It concentrates on offering Italian food to its customers in generous portions & a relaxed atmosphere. Located near the village pubs. Enjoyed a really nice meal & price wasn’t bad either.

Nestled away in the quiet little village of Castor on the Peterborough outskirts is Fratelli, one of the cities best Italian restaurants.
Where other restaurants seem more concerned with ticking the boxes for all the usual Italian cuisine (spaghetti bolognese — check, lasagne — check, pizza — check), Fratelli aren’t afraid to mix it up a bit and offer an interesting menu.
You can still order a typical (and good) pasta or pizza dish but the rest of the menu is so good I’d urge you to be adventurous!
Whenever I’ve been, the restaurant has been busy so booking is recommended. The waiting staff are always attentive too — an area which can often let restaurants down.
The interior’s modern too without falling foul of the typical Italian theme, which is odd as it’s exactly what their Rivergate restaurant/​café/​deli suffers from!
My only criticism with Fratelli is that the menu didn’t seem to have changed in between the times I visited. It would be nice to have a specials menu if they’re concerned with losing a customer’s favourite dish.

The food at Fratelli is beautiful if a tad expensive although it is worth it as a treat occasionally. The restaurant itself is in a lovely old building in a pretty village location. There is a fair amount of parking available at the back of the restaurant. The décor at Fratelli’s is tasteful and it is all very well laid out. There is a good choice of wines and other drinks, the menu is to die for and there are also plenty of vegetarian options. The staff are well trained, pleasant and very helpful (they even cut my brother’s pizza up for him as he had a broken are and was struggling!). The only thing I am not so keen on with this restaurant is the noise level when it is busy. Although the wooden floors are lovely, it makes the noise echo a lot and it can sometimes be hard to make yourself heard.

As you approach Fratelli in Castor (there’s another in Stamford) you see a thatched building that looks like a pub. The building actually is quite large and so the pub is the next door semi detached occupant.
Inside, Fratelli is simply but smartly decorated in the contemporary fashion of oak and light coloured walls — an attractive place.
It was a busy evening wehen we dined there, but the waiters still gave us good personal attention. The menus is full of tasy Italian dishes from traditional pasta and pizza to seafood, fish and meat dishes.
The food is delicious and is not the heavy, stodgy cuisine that Italian is sometimes associated with. The menu has great choices for vegetarians and carnivores alike, through the starters and main courses and is cooked freshly.
Fratelli’s is a popular choice and this is easy to see why, with excellent food, good service and reasonable prices.

My family love Fratellis and this review is for Italian food by an Italian !!
The restaurant based in Castor is full of character, the staff are mostly Italian, the music is Italian and the food is great!
I must admit that I always go for a pizza and have never been disappointed but other family members have gone for pasta and are equally impressed.
There is a small well stocked bar and all the staff are friendly. Whilst waiting for your meal you are served with fresh home made bread and an olive oil and balsamic dip which my children love and unfortunately fill up on!
Ive not often room for a pudding but have been informed that these are good too when in stock!.. Ive eaten at the Fratellis in Stamford too but Castor is my N01

This Fratelli Resturant is located in the small village of Castor and Ailsworth, just outside of Peterborough.
This is a lovely Itallian Restuarant with many dishes which appeal to all. Inside it has a great layout and has a very big family fan base as it is welcomign and delicious.
Most the staff there are Italian and it makes you feel like you are inside a real Italian Resturant! The quality of food is superb however sometimes it can be a bit slow arriving at your table if you go on a busy night. Apart from that though I can’t fault it!
