Fratelli’s Restaurant

I’ve visited Fratellis many times over the years and always had similar (and good) experiences.
We came today for a fairly large family lunch to celebrate my parents 40 th wedding anniversary.
Their standard menu is very affordable, with mains averaging about £8. They also do a Sunday lunch deal with a more limited menu.
I had mushroom soup, haddock and chips, and a strawberry sundae. The soup was great — creamy, smooth and lightly peppery. The haddock was fried in breadcrumbs and the chips were nicely crispy — and clearly fried correctly as they weren’t dripping in oil. The strawberry sundae was made with strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries and cream — very tasty and much lighter than expected.
A shout out to the staff — they were great at dealing with my mental nieces, and had a kids menu just for them.
All in, a great, inexpensive meal. They obviously knew how to cater to big groups here without issue (we weren’t the only big group today). I’m giving this a 4 star as, although the food was really nice, it wasn’t special enough for 5.

its ok but not that great

On the back of the bad review below. There has been a change in kitchen staff. Food better nowadays, but for an Italian restaurant you will be pushed hard to find one on the premises. Algerian, polish and a few other nationalities.
Got to say though always friendly food ok and very family friendly.
Service not the fastest but who wants to be rushed?
For a better Italian experience try glasgow centre there is a glut of them

Fratellis is one of the few within walking distance restaurants to me and I’ve frequented there probably more often than I’d like to because of this.
I can’t say anything bad with regards to the food — general rules being that everything has always been edible and unlike the other review I’ve never been seated to find myself plagued with dirty cutlery.
I can’t claim to have had any outstanding meals there, though nothing to put me off going back when it doesn’t involve me having to travel far from my house.
The service is always very slow, though this is a plus if you’re looking to take a friend and sit and have a good catch up without being constantly hounded for more drinks to be ordered etc.
If this is local and convenient then it’s fine, if you’d have to travel its not hugely worth it.

Been a while since id been in here, saw the offer on a board outside for Half price pasta.
Got seated, waitress took our order, 20 minutes later, no food,
Asked the waitress what the hold up was, and was told we hadnt ordered anything yet! Bizarre this was the same waitress that took our order, unless she has an identical twin!
Five minutes later food arrives and is slammed down on the table.
The pasta was starchy and over cooked. Didnt eat it all, and went to pay the bill, and where overcharged, fella at the till argued with me, and rather than discuss it sensibly, decided he wanted to make a scene.
Wont be back.

Can’t I give this no stars?!
After moving to Cambuslang couple years ago we thought we’d try out this local inviting-​looking restaurant… bad move!
There is nothing good I can say about the experience, I’m only disappointed we never left early.
Worst offender was the filthy cutlery, the service and food wasn’t far behind. I’m always surprised how busy this place looks when we drive by, we certainly will not be going back! Possibly my worst dining experience ever.

Lovely Italian restaurant in Cambuslang, gorgeous food and great service from friendly waiting staff.
