Fratello's Centro Citta - San Antonio

I was so looking forward to homemade Italian food for lunch today. I wasn't sure if I wanted lasagna or ravioli. They had no lasagna ready.I got the lunch special ravioli with soup. The meat sauce was too salty. The soup tasted wonderfully..but it was cold.Slow service for everyone. I'll never go back.

I ordered the meatball sandwich. Homemade meatballs had no flavor and dry. The bread was stale. The only thing palatable was the cheese. Definitely not worth $15.

Cool spot, cool location. This place has a lot of potential to be really good, I think they need to work on their menu. The portions and quality needs to match their prices. A meatball sub with 3 meat balls is not worth 20 bucks. Subway has better prices and tastes better. Just my opinion.Food: 2/5

The calabrese sandwich was tasty but too expensive $16). I asked for a large coffee to go and received a shot of espresso poured into a large styrofoam cup and filled up with water. Not great.

Unfortunately, I cannot say I am overly impressed with this place. That 's a shame, because I work at the courthouse and we 're already hurtin ' for decent food options within walking distance. My first visit was probably a year or so ago; I had a mediocre chicken Caesar salad. My second visit: some co-workers took me to lunch for my birthday. It was a later lunch than usual, but when we walked in we were told they were basically out of everything. Out. Of. Everything?!? Sounds like bad management, right? Yesterday, I decided to give it another go with some co-workers. My chicken sandwich had tomatoes on it even though I ordered it without. No big deal, took 'em off. In general, though, the sandwich was bland, and had not nearly enough chicken. My co-workers food came out several minutes before my sandwich. Then, when it did come, it came without chips, but a promise to get me some. The chips took so long to arrive I almost forgot about them...we were literally getting ready to get up and leave when the chips arrived at the table. Unfortunately, Fratello 's falls way down the list of food options near the courthouse.
