Federicos' Grill & Catering — Restaurant in Fremont

A cozy gem in the historic Niles - Federico's Grill in Niles captures the essence of a museum with its dark, cluttered atmosphere brimming with a diverse array of art, ranging from Argentinian and modern to pirate-themed and art deco. It's like stepping into a living history. The owner, Rico, enhances this experience with his exceptional kindness and attentiveness, making every guest feel like a long-lost friend.

Nestled next to the train tracks in historic Niles, the setting is as picturesque as it is convenient. But what truly stands out is the food. From the exquisite crab cakes to the rich and creamy fettuccine Alfredo, Federico's offers an authentic Italian culinary adventure. The generous portions and endless supply of warm, freshly baked bread only add to the allure.

While it's unfortunate that the restaurant no longer offers brunch, a temporary setback due to Covid, there's excitement in the air about its planned return next year. In the meantime, the live music on Wednesday evenings provides a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Federico's Grill to anyone visiting Niles. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this unique spot is sure to leave a...

Overall, we love Fredricos and have been here a couple of times. This one time we visited on New Years Eve and they had a 5-course meal.

We had a reservation at 8, and we were there at 8.03, still our table was not ready. We waited for 15 mins at the bar without any courtesy of asking for drinks.

Given that my wife is a vegetarian, we wanted to make sure that they have a vegetarian menu or provide customized replacements. The server mentioned that yes, you can have a customized selection, and so we decided to have dinner. 1st course was salad, so no complaints. For the 2nd course, before we can ask for customized selection, we were given a preselected item, which the server did not even mention about. Instead, we asked for a Gnocchi (for veg replacement) and regular 2nd course for me. However, the server just got a shared gnocchi for both of us, which was very small in quantity. It was not even the usual gnocchi they have. After that, the server mentioned that we can't do any customized selection, so basically, we paid $75 for nothing.

I had ordered a wine glass on the side, which i did not receive throughout our 1.5 hrs dinner.

This was the most horrible experience we had ever, especially for the money we...

If you want a quaint but fun setting, Federico's is a great place to go. Definitely unique in its mix of eclectic style and formal menu, casual service and outstanding food, pirate mannequins and assorted original art, dim lighting with a relaxed atmosphere, Federico's is definitely a grest place for a date or just sitting at the bar and watching a game. Though not quite a full bar, it does have a wide range of choices. Ask to see mixologist Sol's special cocktail menu before you make your selection. She offered to switch spirits or even make any cocktail non- alcoholic for us. The wait for the drinks was long and they arrived one by one and it was a while before we each had our drinks and could make a toast, but the mixed drinks did taste very good. The food, on the other hand, arrived very promptly and every dish that was ordered at our table was absolutely delicious. The perfect place for a fun and relaxed evening. Plus parking was easy. Even on a...
