I'd never been to a restaurant where patrons cannot choose their own dinners, but something told me there was a reason this was so. I was right. The 6 course meal was extraordinary. The cold appetizers were like mini explosions of taste. The hot appetizers were delicious. I never cared for lamb until I tasted it at La Trattoria. The pasta was superb and cooked just right. The desserts were heavenly. If you enjoy being pampered and sampling a wide array of tasty food, perfectly paired with wines, try Fratini La Trattoria.

You may think it is weird to have no menu. We did. But it is about caring, getting to know you and what you like and skilfully preparing dish after spectacular dish to charm their way into your stomach, hearts and minds. Go with people you love. This is an experience worth sharing. Pete Australia

Great food. With a few "buts". 1) Should not have staff carrying dirty pots and pans traversing the dining area. 2) Did not ask if we wanted wine; we had to flag a waiter to ask for it. In an upscale Italian restaurant? 3) Said coffee machine broke down. Did not offer alternative, such as drip coffee.

Too much meat, very limited greens or vegetables, but meat dishes were excellent, great service, very special place. Wine was wonderful. 8 courses actually seemed to be too much food but reasonably priced for quality

Very pleasant staff, great food, and some excellent wine (ask for the other premium wines). Not silver service but ticks all the other boxes. Sit at the bar and watch the food preparation.

great place. they have no menu but ask what are your food restrictions. the whole thing is a big surprise (even the wine by glass the owner chose for us), you dont know what to expect. really too much food in small portions, everything absolutely delicious. price is worth it, we paid 90++ per pax, it can be more if you have a special request. owner and staff were super friendly, he explained where he gets his fresh ingredients every morning. we can taste the difference. absolutely recommended :D

My wife and I went for an anniversary meal and it was excellent. From the minute we entered the restaurant we knew it would be a place we will visit time and time again whilst we are staying in Singapore. The appearance and ambience of the restaurant was professional but very welcoming we were shown to our table and shortly afterwards the chef came and introduced himself, he enquired as to our food and taste preferences which was easy for my tastes but a little more difficult for my wife who does not eat meat, shellfish or cheese. After taking this information away with him the chef produced totally different meals for us which were excellent both in presentation and taste and the attention to detail was second to none. The staff maintained a good rapport with clientele and each other ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Excellant, good food, attentive services, friendly. .8 starters, a pasta dish and a desert is a lot, make sure you take a hungry person with you if your appetite isn't large.

Great food, friendly, family-like atmosphere. Food is both creative and comforting, and portions are generous. Nice to have several different hot & cold appetizers, as well as desserts, for a wider variety, instead of the usual starter-entree-main-dessert menu.

We went here for our wedding anniversary and it was a truly perfect dinner. Relaxed and friendly fine dining. The chef was brilliant and the waiter recommended a fabulous wine. Best Italian food I've had in Singapore and possibly anywhere outside of Italy. Loved it. We'll be back.

Bright, entertaining staff. The food was generally very good,with a few misses . I thought it strange to serve an (excellent) entree of lobster after a serve of beef cheek. The desserts were a knockout .

Superb. Fratini is an icon of the Singapore restaurant scene and he did not disappoint. I could have left after the multiple appetizers and been satisfied, but the pasta with seafood was worth waiting for (even if it required a loosening of my belt).

Overall an enjoyable experience, but would have appreciate more interaction with the chef - he only introduced the first and second course. Other reviews that I read suggested that he would take us through each course. The food was generally good, especially the pasta which is imported from Italy.

Fantastic food and an overall great dining experience as there was no menu and every course was another culinary surprise. The pasta dishes are to die for and the 4 of us had a wonderful time. Prices are definitely on the high side but then again, TOP class food!

This restaurant was amazing!! We LOVED the food and the service was friendly and accommodating. You can tell Chef Fratini is not only good at his job but that he loves it. Although the meal and drinks were a bit expensive, I would go back in an instant for course after course of delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts.

Refreshing service.. Very attentive and polite staff. The chef even explains what he wants to prepare for you. Just need an open mind as you wont know what You will get until they actually serve it. I liked at least 7/10(estimate) of the dishes. Desserts were excellent though!!!

Nice variety of dishes served with great taste and excellent service. However, I with they could have the option for diners to choose a menu with lesser dishes as my friend and I have small appetite so we ended up wasting a lot of food after 4th or 5th course served......

Each item brought to the table was tastier than the other...We received such a warm welcome from the staff and chef Gabriel. All our dietary recommendations were taken into account and we were served accordingly. All the produce were freshly bought from the market the same day and that is what makes the difference in the taste and the no menu concept! Great experience! Definitely recommended!

Food was good. Sadly half the vegetarian courses were only eggplant based. A greater variety of vegetables/greens would have impressed us. The restaurant did not live-up to the hype of Chef Gabriel interacting with the patrons. We were greatly looking forward to such an experience. The Chef ignored or seemed to ignore our table completely while going around the restaurant and talking with everyone else. Overall it was an underwhelming experience. Visited the place only because it's rated #1 in Tripadvisor's list of restaurants in Singapore.

The restaurant has no menu. The chef asked us for our preference in terms of what we like and what we do not like. There were altogether 8 courses for our lunch; 5 starters, a main and 2 desserts. Every dish was delicious and generous in the portions. It was priced very reasonably at $45. I will definitely go back there again! Oh yes, service was also good and personal.

We were a touch apprehensive about this restaurant as it has no menu and we went with our daughter (21) who is quite fussy about what she eats. Apart from letting the chef know what we didn't like, we had no influence on the meal. We shouldn't have worried. The first four cold starters were all to die for, as were the next four hot starters and then the pasta. Add three amazing desserts and you ended up with three very full but wonderfully satisfied customers who were treated throughout to excellent customer service by a really nice, chatty bunch of folk, not least being the owners wife. An outstanding evening. We'll definitely return on our next visit to Singapore. One tip though - this resto is no really suitable for kids.

I took my wife to Fratini's for her birthday because it was the top rated restaurant in Singapore on TripAdvisor, and we were not disappointed! This is the kind of place you want to go to for a special occasion or just to have a nice meal with a loved one. That said it's not fancy and off-putting it's very homey and relaxed, just what I wanted for my wife's birthday lunch. When you first sit down the chef (Gabriel) will personally come to your table to say hello and inquire as to whether you have any special dietary constraints and then he will take care of the rest. The only decision you'll have to make is how much wine you should drink!
