Each week, Fratelli Fresh feeds between 15-20,000 people across its Sydney-based food empire. Alla Fratelli by Fratelli Fresh is all about seasonal, fresh, heart-warming, delicious eating, dedicated to flavour and tradition - but it rips up the rule book at the same time, challenging some of the older Italian traditions and putting meals together that suit the way we live now. This is how we should all be cooking at home, with fresh, beautiful, simple, generous, messy Mediterranean market food, shared with children, parents, friends and neighbours. Winner of Best Restaurant Under $30 from the Sydney Morning Herald in 2013, and Best Cafe from TimeOut Sydney in 2012, Fratelli Fresh is the creation of the McDonald family, from Barry and Karen to daughter Nina and the entire crew/family/staff. Since opening in 2004, it has become Sydney's favourite way of eating Italian style.
