Fradei Bistro

I never had Italian food that was this original. All the dishes look simple, but they're deceivingly original and carefully crafted to produce a unique tasting experience of flavors, textures, and visuals. The staff is very chill and the 80s music helps you flow through the 5 courses. I especially loved the dessert, smoked fish, and the vegetables, but everything was good.

Fradei is impressive. The food was incredible, with unexpected yet delicious flavors, like in the wagyu beef tartare with sesame seeds. Please go try their food. The ambient is a little cramped and not much effort was put into the decor, which is fine. We had to wait for 30 minutes for our reserved tables, but service flowed wonderfully once we were sat down.

Came here for a weekday date night at 9pm since it so hard to get reservations. Thought the food was pretty good but didn’t knock my socks off and it was pretty pricey / small portions. My favorite was the kumquat salad - really unique and a creative way to eat the fruit. I really didn’t enjoy the hard bread they served w the cheese.
