The story of Fratello’s began in 1992 when the McDonough family, known for their experience in the restaurant and catering industry, transformed a historic bank building in Laconia, NH, into a new dining concept. The name Fratello’s, meaning “brother” in Italian, reflects the family’s values and dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere. The original Laconia location was renovated in 2015, adding a new tower section and outdoor deck. In 1997, the McDonough brothers expanded to Manchester by acquiring and renovating the Myrna shoe building on Commercial Street, converting it into a 16,000 square foot restaurant with an attached event facility. This Manchester location, situated in the historic Millyard, continues to serve as a community favorite.

Fratello’s Italian Grille is known for its commitment to quality, with dishes made from scratch using fresh ingredients. The restaurant’s wood-fired brick oven pizzas, hand-tossed and topped with seasonal selections, are a signature offering, complemented by a wide array of steaks, seafood, and antipasto salads. The in-house bakery delivers rich desserts, and the event department supports both onsite and offsite celebrations. With decades of experience and a legacy rooted in family, Fratello’s remains a trusted dining destination in Manchester, celebrated for its authentic Italian-American cuisine and warm, inviting ambiance.
