    We had an extremely disappointing experience at Fraschetta last night. It had been a few years since we had been to the restaurant, and we understand it’s under new ownership. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the food continues to be good, we may never return to the restaurant. We made a reservation on OpenTable for 8:30pm. We arrived at 8:35 and waited for about 5min for the table to be ready. Within 10min of sitting down, the wait staff approached our table and told us that we had to put an order in within the next 5min because the kitchen was closing. We took that in stride and provided our order. Dinner came and we were enjoying our meal with friends. After the main course, we ordered dessert and proceeded to linger over dinner the way any patron would in any restaurant. There were three full tables on the second floor including ours at that time. At roughly 10:20 the restaurant threw all the overhead lights on to make it known they wanted us all out of there. In all my years of dining, I have never had a restaurant chase its customers out in that manner. Every patron on the second floor looked at one another in disbelief. It felt like we were being chased out of a fraternity party. We decided to ignore the rude signal and continue our meal and conversation. Shortly thereafter, one of the restaurant employees approached our table and asked us to wrap our dinner up because they were closing. This was less than 2hrs after we arrived. Under no circumstances should a restaurant offer an 8:30pm reservation in a fine dining establishment if they aren’t comfortable with the patrons being there for two hours. It truly was one of the weirdest restaurant experiences we’ve ever had.

    Excellent food and excellent, friendly service, in a relaxing setting, at a fair price. Frachetta is truly a neighborhood germ. Highly recommended.

    Was hoping for a better experience after not dining here for several years. Food was fine, but not really good let alone great. Our table upstairs was fairly quiet until a very loud table for 4 got seated next to us; they were nearly “screaming” their conversation across their table. Will most likely not be eating there again.

    Chose this BYOB for it’s proximity to BMFI theater. My artichoke appetizer was delicious. Unfortunately my dining partner’s polpette was served cold with some warm sauce poured over. Once aware of it our server promptly took charge off our bill. Both of our Primi plates - pappardale with funghi for him and pappardale al cianghiale for me did not disappoint. Homemade pasta and very good sauces.

    Went here for first time with another couple. Byob which is really nice. There is a bar right next door so if you are early there is a place to go for a quick drink. The food was really good. Pasta choices and specials were great and a lot to choose from - pasta, beef, pork and fish. I had pappardelle with oxtail and was fabulous. Good portions. My husband had rigatoni with eggplant and was great. Will definitely come again.

    The service was quick, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We got the early in the evening and allowed us to choose our table . Water came out immediately and was refilled promptly. Fresh bread with olive oil was delicious, the server helped us with the menu. The food was fresh and amazing. The ambiance was cozy and accessible; felt like Italy. The restaurant filled up quickly ; seemed like a handful of regulars, young people on dates and older folks out with friends. It was lovely!
