Walking distance from Shab Row shopping and across from Rails and Roads Museum, plus directly next to a playground, this is a great spot for families! I saw dog bowls on the patio which also warms my soul. I ordered a watermelon salad which was delicious, and the staff were soooooo super friendly and kind with great personalities! Definitely recommend!

"Manalu and our dream come true". As a little kid, my dream was to become a chef and open an authentic italian restaurant here in the USA. I spent so many years working hard and hoping that one day my dream will become true. Throughout the years my wife a

This was my 2nd time visiting this restaurant and I will say officially it's the one place I'll visit each time I come to MD for training. My server tonight was Marcello and his customer service was on point from the first encounter. I asked for sweet tea, which they don't serve, and he offered to make a glass of sweet tea just for me - very impressive. Just like last time, I tried one of the nightly specials. The way Marcello described the dish, I literally tasted the dish in my mind before I actually tasted the dish. Wait staff that can do that, are people to be kept on staff forever. So, I had the gorgonzola and pear stuffed ravioli with baby shrimp, shitake mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, in a brandy cream sauce topped with slivered almonds and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Baby, we got a winner!! It tasted just as good as it was described to me and that is truly an art. Manalu is now my favorite restaurant in Frederick. See you next go round and thank you Marcello for the great service!!!

The service here was great and the wait staff very knowlegeable about the menu and anwered all of my questions. Not that I had a lot, but their answers really helped me select exactly what I wanted to eat. The restaurant is small and charming. It was slightly difficult to navigate our way out after all the tables had filled up, but nobody seemed to mind me squeezing by. I loved the painting on the walls. And the food was excellent, very nice selection of italian dishes, and very well prepared.

We had lunch here last weekend and got a sunny table outside on their patio. I ordered wheat angel hair with meatballs and hubby had his usual pasta in marinara, this time with penne. The entree' came with either a side salad or garlic bread. We both had a side salad. My food was tasty and so filling that I could only finish half of it. Hubby had the rest and it was good.

The restaurant is located in a small strip mall right off the main town drag. It's a home town kind of place. They offer pizzas, subs, calzone, stromboli, and Italian dinners. The decor is pretty simple but the service is friendly and fast and the food is good...ideal for children or a batch of teens.
1. Fratelli's Italian and Seafood

Fratelli's has very good food and I enjoyed my meal but I felt it was a little dumbed-down, bland, American-style Italian. The portions are gi-normous! One meal is enough for 3 people - expect meals of leftovers! The service was very good - welcoming and energetic. My only complaint is that it seemed like they were mimicking Olive Garden with bland fluffy breadsticks and all-you-can- eat salad. I'd prefer a good crusty bread at a real Italian place. I would definitely return here for dessert though! Especially, I'd like to mention the cheesecake. I am a cheesecake snob. Usually I only like my own, which I inherited and have improved over the years. I grew up in NJ, eating great NYC cheesecake - the right balance of moist, somewhat fluffy but solid, sweet and tangy. That's really hard to do! And Fratelli's absolutely hits cheesecake out of the park!!!
