  Dishonest and a waste money. Pathetic when a restaurant fills liquor bottles with low level booze. Bad food, bad attitude, bad business.

  I love this place.  Always great customer service, fantastic food & drink selection, and quality preparation.   The pasta is always served al dente.
  
  Despite the other reviews, I like the location, because it's close and convenient.  Parking can be a challenge, unless you know you can park behind the adjacent office building after office hours.  
  
  Insofar as seating goes, many great options.  Sit al fresco on the new patio, sit inside at a traditional table, sit at a small bar height table near the bar, or sit right at the bar.  You can even keep your eye on the game, with a tastefully-placed flat panel TV in the bar area.  
  
  Highly recommended!

  Oh my goodness! They are indeed back! The Fratellis salad is the old salad we loved when they were in Bridgewater and as they were in Bridgewater I rarely ventured into the main menu because something on the special list looked too good to pass up. On our first visit that turned out to be the tuna steak and it was an amazing way to return to the place that was indeed one of our favorites from years ago.
  
  The only downside is the location is kind of rough. Martinsville is fine but their building could be a tad bit bigger and the parking is not the greatest. The secret to parking for dinner is to use the business lot next door when everything is closed there and just walk down the few steps into the Fratellis lot.
  
  Update -- There is a review posted that claims some interesting happenings behind the scenes and we have a data point to support that. One of us never gets headaches from a certain premium brand and after ordering it at Fratellis let's just say we know for sure that is NOT what we got served. This is bad news, VERY bad news.

  Great Spot!  Had a drink at the bar before dinner, crowded but not uncomfortable (my wife approved of the grey goose dirty martini & she's picky about them).  Seafood salad, gnocchi bolognese, the veal funghi were all outstanding.  Great service as well.  My water glass was never empty & thats not easy to keep up with.  Would like to see a little improvement on the wine list, but we found a bottle we both liked & it was inexpensive as far as restaurant bottles go.

  Myself and a group of 10 co-workers ordered lunch twice and the food was horrible. The pasta fagioli was watery. The chicken/veal entrees were tough not tender. They did not serve bread. This building is cursed = over the last 15 years I've been in Martinsville, every restaurant that has existed there failed because the food sucked. Not optimistic about the future of Fratellis...Nice bar though.

  It's great to have Adam back in town.  Clearly the best restaurant in Martinsville.  The little bar in the back replaced the pizza kitchen that was there with the prior owner.  It's become a local hang out to get a drink after a game, movies, etc. A full bar in Martinsville! Adam and his staff make you feel welcome and comfortable.  Great selections from ranging fresh seafood, meat, pasta and salads. The sweet, sour and spicy calamari is a tasty app.
