Fratellos Riverfront Restaurant

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Riverfront Table in Appleton

Fratellos Riverfront Restaurant sits at the edge of the Fox River on West Water Street in Appleton, Wisconsin, offering American and Mediterranean cuisine in a setting defined by the water just outside its windows. The address alone sets expectations: this is a place where the surroundings are part of the experience.

Recognized for Its Wine Program

Wine Spectator's 2025 Award of Excellence places Fratellos in select company. The distinction is given to restaurants whose wine lists demonstrate careful selection, depth, and compatibility with the kitchen's direction — a meaningful credential for a dining room that pairs American and Mediterranean cooking with its cellar offerings.

What to Expect

The menu draws on the broad, sun-influenced traditions of Mediterranean cooking alongside American classics, a combination that gives the kitchen range across seasons and occasions. Lunch and dinner service both run here, making Fratellos a viable choice whether the visit is a midday break or an evening out along the river.

The Fox River setting in downtown Appleton lends the room a relaxed but purposeful character — the kind of place that works for a business lunch as naturally as it does for a celebratory dinner.
