In Short – Done up in red and black, this urban hot spot is anything but a neighborhood pizza joint. A pair of brick beehive ovens center the small, edgy dining room. A hip bar sits on the right as you walk in, and a modest patio, bordered by amphoras and potted plants, is open in good weather. Service is extremely professional and friendly. Authentic flavors, simply presented, are at the heart of this European-style pizzeria. Crispy, perfectly tender calamari arrive on a square of brown craft paper. Crunchy-soft croquettes are spiked with sausage. Pizzas, which are small enough for one…

Forgettable food that's not worth the price

by DonHarrisAIA at Citysearch

I had read lots of glowing reviews on Yelp and CItysearch about Fritti, so thought we'd try it. When we arrived at the valet parking we were getting out of our car as Richard Blais (from Top Chef fame) was getting his car. He had just eaten at Fritti and said it was good, so I was sure our choice was correct. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We used Open Table to book our reservation, and they seated us within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, we got our table upstairs (you have to go past the restrooms and up a narrow stair) and near the air return vents. It would get warm from the ovens, then cool down when the air came on, and then warm again. This cycle happened repeatedly while we were there. Although the wait staff was pleasant and prompt, the food left a lot to be desired. We chose the calamari as it smelled wonderful, but it lacked depth of flavor. Our ceasar salads were average at best. I asked for anchovies and that actually improved mine quite a bit. As for the pizza, it was crispy on the edges and runny with a soggy crust in the middle. The toppings were scattered in clumps, so each piece we took had a differernt flavor. Overall, although the atmosphere would be fun (if we had sat downstairs), the flavorless food and fairly high prices make this a restaurant I don't need to visit again.

  • Pros: Fun location, festive atmostphere
  • Cons: Average food at best for a fairly high price

too expensive with so so taste

by nvnv at Citysearch

We had dinner at sotto sotto, it was expensive, but worth it, so we chose Fritti this time. We ordered spicy tuna as appetizer and salmon as main course, i am very small appetite person and was not hungery at all. However, their portion still suprised me---it is too small!!! Tuna appetizer is 9 dollars, but only have 4 to 5 slices of paper thin tuna, just looked like 2 slices of bacon; the salmon is 19 dollars or even more, has only a small slice, just looked like 3 fingers wide. To full our stomach, we had to order a pizza, and we found all other customers there ordered pizza only (may be they had already known that nothing at fritti is large enough as food except pizza), but pizza also tastes so so. We had dinner at sotto sotto, it was expensive, but worth it, so we chose Fritti this time.

Tuna appetizer is 9 dollars, but only have 4 to 5 slices of paper thin tuna, just looked like 2 slices of bacon; the salmon is 19 dollars or even more, has only a small slice, just looked like 3 fingers wide. I do not think i will eat there any more, too expensive with so so taste.

absolute worthless waitress here!

by tony clifton at Citysearch

Well, we had lunch here and it was a disaster, the blonde waitress here on Novemember 3, 2009 at about 1:30 pm, on the outside was worthless! I don't know if it was because she was blonde or just....I don't know. But she manage to get both me and my wife's order all wrong, then wanted to tell us that she brought out what we ordered! I just don't know why she did not write any of it down?? what a ditz! We won't return UNLESS we hand her what we want, written down by US!

  • Pros: great pizzas!
  • Cons: the waitress for lunch has no memory!
