Fratelli Of Hebden — Restaurant in Calderdale

We went along earlier today for a first visit having passed by many times and always liking the look of it. We usually look for places to take our daughter and her friend for a weekly family dinner, late afternoon, so Fratelli’s opening hours are perfect for us.

We had the kids pizza with a choice of toppings, the ‘orzo di pollo’ and the ‘Pizza Ortolana’, all as vegan options. They were all delicious, particularly the orzo which had a vegan chicken which I assumed was very similar to the vegan chicken from This!, one of my favourites, and a lovely delicately flavoured sauce with fresh samphire. The pizzas had a vegan mozzarella which was as close to the real thing as we could want.

The service was great, attentive but not intrusive, and they were very patient with the little gang of kids we brought with us. They even got lollipops which the owner was good enough to check were vegan without us having to ask.

The atmosphere was good too, helped along by the great weather and full...

If I could give this place six stars, I would — and then I’d probably move in.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like being hugged by an Italian grandmother who just wants to feed you until you explode. The garlic bread? Honestly, it should come with a warning label — dangerously addictive. I’d fight a bear for another slice.

My partner Natalie had the gluten-free pizza, and for once, she didn’t have to pretend it was “just as good as normal pizza” — because it actually was! The pasta was pure magic, like the chef whispered sweet nothings in Italian to each noodle before serving it.

Then came the tiramisu… good grief. I’m pretty sure I saw heaven. If I ever go missing, check Fratelli — I’ll be in the back somewhere, face-deep in dessert.

The waitress? Absolute gem — polite, welcoming, and probably the reason I didn’t cry tears of joy mid-meal.

In summary: 10/10 food, 11/10 service, 100/10 garlic bread. Fratelli, you beautiful, carb-filled masterpiece —...

Appalling!!!! Waited an hour and a half for food! No apologies nothing! The garlic mushrooms on the bruschetta were like water without garlic!!!! When the pasta arrived it wasn’t even what I’d ordered, plain pasta when I ordered vongole!!! Staff are rude, arrogant and the child chef smoking his e-cigarette clouds of smoke in the kitchen every time I walked past for the toilet. 3 times may I add because I’d been sat there that long I’d had four drinks!! Waitress stood around instead of tending to the customers and food!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!! I don’t know who you’ve got to write your reviews but that is grim!!!!!!! I’m half Italian myself and that doesn’t even come close to Italian food!!!! And for the reply you must be on drugs you’ve got cameras have a look yourself. stay well away if you want good service and good authentic...
