Fratesi's Italian Foods - Ridgeland

Great restaurant. Been wanting to try it for years and finally did and enjoyed every minute of it. Loved the service and how homey and oldie it felt. The food was also amazing!

We had dinner at the. bar tonight . Sam was our server and he was friendly and efficient. we enjoyed the complimentary bread , the Caesar salad , lasagna and shrimp Alfredo. all dishes were prepared and served as requested and are hot and tasty. the menu is standard italian with no special dishes. we love this small bar and restaurant. seating is limited but the kitchen turns tickets quickly. good italian option if you are in the area.

Great business serving food from family recipes. Classic old-school Italian restaurant vibe- red checked tablecloths, chianti bottle candle holders, the whole nine yards. They have the best pasta in the city. Service is attentive and friendly, and it's clear from watching interactions with the manager and staff that many patrons are regulars. They also do a brisk take-out business, Wine list is extensive, including wines imported from Italy. Portions are huge- would easily feed two. If you're looking for an old-fashioned neighborhood restaurant, this place is definitely for you!

About 15 to 20 minutes later, my entree arrived. While it wasn't my first choice, I really enjoyed it; it was rich and creamy, packed with crab, shrimp, and cheese. Normally, I would rate this meal a 4, but unfortunately, the service let me down. The waiter was quite slow to refill our drinks and rarely checked on us during the meal. I noticed him attending to other tables, but my experience felt lacking. That's why I would give this outing a 3. Other servers seemed much more attentive to their tables, so I guess I just had bad luck with my designated waiter. Oh well...

The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly! The candles on each table created a wonderful atmosphere, and the bread was fantastic as well! I would highly recommend this place to any Italian food enthusiasts!
