Ordered home delivery - arrived on time, but cold.
Very disappointed by lasagne and capricciosa pizza. Actually went & checked what we had asked for was what was in the box. Pizza overloaded with mushrooms, it was all mushrooms. 5 olives total, translucent thin ham, more mushrooms, NO discernible cheese. Lumpy, unevenly cooked, tasteless base. And soggy from having steamed itself in the box. Nothing fresh.
Lasagne portion decent size. Thank you, but a waste of processed ingredients. The cloying tomato paste in which the pasta swam destroyed any chance of a tasty pasta dish. Overcooked, unbalanced with a smattering of something, probably cheese, thrown over one end, to hide the burnt pasta.
Our treat meal was left half eaten and then thrown out.
If that was my home made meal, I'd be forced to leave home.
No, won't be going anywhere near Via Fratelli again.

Pizza is okay but. First of all, it doesn't match what's said in the menu. Meat lovers pizza stated salami, sausages and chicken. And I thought to myself that's great, I don't like pork and I really feel like chicken. In fact I got pizza with no chicken whatsoever and full of ham on it. A bit disappointed as I don't eat ham. I have a question to the owner: why doesn't your menu match what you actually cook? And second of all, I called to make a pick up order, they said 20 min. When I arrived after just over 20min, they didn't even start cooking it. So I had to wait another 10-15 min until it is done. What was the point of ordering pick up and waiting for 20 min? Service leaves a lot to be desired.

Incredible homemade food, something for everyone, incredible service and a nice setting, a perfect restaurant experience. The lasagna and terimisu were phenomenal.

Had dinner here last night and honestly the food is authentic Italian. My mother is Italian and a beautiful cook, we booked a table here last year for her 90th Birthday and she absolutely LOVED the lunch. We have been here many times since. Last night entree we shared mallanzane (eggplant) with a Napoli sauce and mozzarella cheese - it was yum also had a garlic pizza for entree too (large pizza with generous amount of garlic and mozzarella topping). For main course the homemade gnocchi pollo funghi (chicken and mushrooms) in a creamy sauce, also had ravioli with Napoli sauce, capsicum, spring onion and penne pasta with Italian sausage, in Napoli cream sauce. We shared the meals between us. The staff and very obliging and courteous. We all absolutely enjoyed the food. We ate too much!
Definitely be back soon! Big thank you to Via Fratelli.

A nice suburban eatery. While everyone else enjoyed their food, unfortunately my potatoes were slightly burnt so a bitter flavour permeated. We came back for the gnocchi and it was awesome one again. But usually a great place to eat and very good for families.

Came to this restaurant for my brother's birthday recently and had a nice meal here. We ordered the arancini balls, gnocchi, the ferla pizza, the spaghetti marinara and the veal cotoletta. The arancini balls were cheesy gooey and hot a very nice way to start the meal, the gnocchi was some of the best gnocchi i've ever had, it was pillowy fluffy and absolutely delicious. The ferla pizza was quite nice although could use a bit of seasoning and more tomato sauce, the marinara was quite nice although the noodles were a bit overcooked and the cotoletta was alright but could've used some seasoning. Service was quick and waiters were kind, and the atmosphere was pleasant, seeing into the kitchen and seeing the massive woodfired pizza oven was very cool too. Overall a nice traditional relatively inexpensive italian restaurant, would reccommend.

Very disappointing! My friend and i ordered a veal scalopini with lemon sauce and the veal was covered in a dark red sauce? Nothing Italian about it!

Poor bland pizza. Wood fired pizza (Worst I’ve ever had). My home oven cooks better pizza.
Pathetic soggy crust.
Won’t be ordering from here again.

Italian food cooked by Indians which was definitely false advertising. The chef looked dirty and so did the restaurant. We didn’t even order and canceled our reservation. Definitely would not recommend.

Delicious food and such lovely service!
I arrived on the wrong day for a meet up and so was « stood up » by my friend. The staff were very kind and helped me to try and contact my friend as I didn’t have a local phone card so I couldn’t call her. I ended up getting takeaway instead and chose the chicken and mushroom gnocchi. It melted in my mouth and was still hot by the time I got home. I’d highly recommend!

Fantastic pizza!

Kitchen had a bit of a mix up which resulted in us having a bit of a long wait time (honest mistake). Owner was extremely apologetic and gracious, offered to not charge us for meal.

Food is amazing, star lost because we placed 2 orders the other night, 5 minutes apart, first order was quick, second part of the order took an hour.

Ordered from Via Fratelli for the first time on Saturday night.

Ordered a Hawaiian with extra salami and chilli.

Pizza was sensational light and crisp base so the ingredients shone through.

They are a bit more expensive then your Dominos or Pizza hut but the quality stands out so do yourself a favour.

The lamb shanks were to die for. The service was great and the atmosphere was great. Prices very reasonable.

Excellent food. Shame wait staff are so young, they can't advise on wine but understand this through staff shortages due to pandemic affects.
Would be nice for wait staff to learn a little etiquette. Trying to clear meals before they're finished and before everyone else at the table has wasn't great. Food was beautiful though, as was the ambience. As locals, we appreciate having great food in the area. Much more authentic than D'olivio which is a few doors down.
