Fratelli’s Pizza, a desirable destination with late night hours for hand-tossed pizzas, has expanded with a second Grand Rapids location — and you don’t have to travel far to find it. Fratelli’s Kitchen & Bar opened next door to its longstanding store earlier this year, offering a more diverse menu with tableside service and a full bar.

Mirroring the red hot dining and residential developments on Bridge Street, Fratelli’s Kitchen & Bar is a more mature version of its original self. While pizzas, subs, and late night eats for the post-bar crowd made the flagship Fratelli’s a West side staple, its new venture pleases in different ways.

For starters, handcrafted cocktails, wine, and beer make Fratelli’s Kitchen & Bar a bonafide spot for happy hour and dinner. Appetizers like artisan cheese boards and arancini are ripe for sharing while relaxing after a long day. Beautifully plated Italian dishes of bucatini and farfalle are perfect for pasta lovers. Don’t worry — they have pizza, too!

A brick-lined interior with familiar modern touches make Fratelli’s Kitchen & Bar an attractive option for a casual dinner or special occasion. And with its proximity to other great spots in the area — we’re looking at you Butcher’s Union and Ando Sushi — the potential for a legendary night out is high.

Fratelli’s Kitchen & Bar is located at 443 Bridge St NW Suite 2, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.
