Ristorante Di Fratelli

Best Italian restaurant hands down! The pasta was adequately sauced with the right amount of cheese and vegetables. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, good music, great company. What more can one ask for?

I was here with my husbo and friends on a visit back home and went here for dinner. The scallops were huge and for $ 11 they are an absolute steal. My pork saltimbocca was really tasty and huge. I enjoyed it. My husband just got spaghetti and meatballs and I have to say — It was pretty disappointing. When an italian place has just ok spaghetti and balls it’s sort of sad. The bill came and it was like I was in Chicago… not Paducah. So $$$, good entrees, but sad little pasta :(

the staff was so friendly! I was there solo and they were just so sweet and attentive.
I had the blackened diver scallops dish with a cesear salad before it.
OMG. THe scallops were HUGE! and DELICIOUS! The dish was perfectly made and presented. Very good choice ! :)
I did have a drink with dinner. I had the fresh berries drink that was pom and cranberry juice, mixed with I don’t know what exactly. lol. but there was pom seeds within the drink, and cranberries. VERY good. I never drink with dinner, but the listing called to me. :)
Would love to come back !

Atmosphere & food was awesome! Excited to come back when I am in town. What a hidden gem. You must try the Tunachos!

The good: good service, nice bourbon selection, food tasted OK and was filling. The bad: over-​cooked pasta and canned tomato sauce at fine dining prices.

You can tell the chef has passion. That the food isn’t just thrown on a plate. Most of the food I believe is made fresh in house or so it taste that way. I love that I can get a half of pound of mussels in a creamy wonderful sauce for $ 6. Btw their bread is awesome to dip into mussels its a must try. The meatballs have great flavor. My steak was cooked to perfection. I love the atmosphere too.

Had an opportunity to dine at Di Fratelli’s recently with a group from work with spouses. We came there on my recommendation and I couldn’t be more pleased. The food was excellent, service attentive, and atmosphere perfect. My favorite Paducah restaurant now! One suggestion: Bring back Blantons bourbon!

My girlfriends and I ate here for our Christmas get together. We all had the rib eyes, and they were fantastic. I love, love the atmosphere, and the specialty drink (gingerbread martini) was most delicious. I will definitely come back. Hats off to the chef!

The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is it is a little pricey! Awesome food, great atmosphere. I went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary and it is was a great pick. While I can’t afford to go every weekend like I would like to, it is probably my favorite place downtown. The interior is beautiful.

Okay, Paducah! Now we’re talking!
I had no idea that your humble little downtown held such a gem.
I travel for work, and I spend my evenings searching for a place where I can feel at home, even if it’s just for a few hours. In some cities, I never find one. Not in Paducah. This is the place.
The atmosphere of the place is elegant, but not stuffy. I was one of only two patrons in the restaurant when I wandered in there around 5:00 on a Wednesday night.
I decided to sit at the bar, because I always have more luck making friends there, than if I’m sitting at a table all by my lonesome. And I did. The bartender, Christy, instantly made me feel welcome, and shared with me a map of interests in Paducah. She poured me a glass of wine and recommended a Chicken Meatball White Pizza.
I am glad she did, because it was OUTRAGEOUSLY delicious. As the evening wore on, I enjoyed pleasant conversation with some of the bar regulars, and I ended up having only 2 pieces of the pizza to take back to the hotel with me.
I ate them when I got back to the hotel. The food was that good.
Shockingly, this place is actually making me look forward to going back to Paducah!

I would reserve a spot fri/​sat night. the best Italian restaurant that Paducah has to offer– hands down. Dined here for our anniversary (enjoyed a 16oz. herb crusted rack of lamb ‘special’) and had an excellent time. Friendly bartenders and good ambiance, I would recommend this place to hang out at the bar or maybe try the appetizer’s/desserts; its a local upscale spot. You get plenty of mussels cooked in (garlic/​butter, wine sauce) & fried calamari for a really good price. Recommend the cream brule to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Also a great place to go for a special occasion.
–Check out their website, fridays are ladies night & they somtimes bring in a local band. Closed on Sundays & Mondays.

For really good Italian food, this is the place to go. It is fairly expensive, but you get what you pay for. The peach tea is great during the summer (it comes with a slice of peach in the glass). It’s been a while since I’ve been, but I remember that everyone I was with loved their food. Definitely a great place to go for a special occasion. One of the nicer places Paducah has to offer.

This bar will always hold a special place in my heart. There was a 3 – 4 month period where I actually spent more time in this bar then my own living room. It was like my whiskey drenched version of cheers.
Di Fratts is a charming little Italian restaurant located in the heart of Paducah. I hear the food is excellent, but out of the 8,500 times I went there, I only ate like twice. I can verify the quality of drinks made here. The bartenders pour with a heavy hand and a big smile. Brian in particular is the bomb. I have never had a better bartender. He never made you feel like a costumer, but a friend.
I am a snob about my Dirty Gin Martinis and Brian makes one of the best. He also makes a mean lemon drop.
This bar also has a pretty good group of regulars consisting of transplants to the area and less cliquey locals. The people that come here come for conversation the more upscale environment that is not overly stuffy.
I also attended and hosted over a dozen events here. All were great success because of the owner and his excellent staff.
Some of the worst things and best things in my life have happened because of this little bar.
If you ever make it here, do me a favor and tell Brian that Keith Charles says hi.
Haiku!
Makers Mark on the rocks.
That woman looks like trouble.
Lets see if she is.
Talent Level? Damn decent for a little southern town. Just be careful who walks you back to your car.
