Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chief cook and bottle washer Nice range, but...
Rather than repeat everything that has already been said, I'll just highlight some things that stick out in my mind.
First, huge oven! It does take its sweet time to get up to temp, but once there it's incredible stable.
Second, the burners are fantastic, easy to clean, and light. They throw out a lot of heat.
Third, attractive as all get out. I have the anthracite with chrome model, with analog clock. Everyone who enters my kitchen immediately remarks about the F-O.
Fourth, the downside: The lettering on the range and stovetop indicators is coming off. Someone else mentioned this, and I have to say it really bothers me considering the cost of this range.
Fifth, the next downside: The oven switch icons are impossible to understand. I've memorized the positions so as not to rely on the icons. Worthless.
Sixth, the third downside: The analog clock. I love its looks, but what a monster to 'program'.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Lil' Oriole Beautiful- and complicated
We have had the Royal Chiantishire for about 18 months. We purchased it in anthracite and it is truly stunning. Every single person who has anything to say about our newly remodeled kitchen comments on how beautiful and unique this range is. The stovetop is fabulous. The dual fuel is a great feature. The negatives are that the dials are hard to understand -and worse yet, after one year, all of the markings on our oven dial have worn off. For a range at this price, I would not expect this. Unlike some other reviewers, I have not have any problems at all with uneven baking in the oven- although I definitely use the cooktop more than
the oven.I had a fairly large group for Thanksgiving dinner last year and once I removed two of the shelves, I was amazed at how much room was available to cook/keep warm most of my sides- and the turkey! The only other complaint I have is the digital clock. It is not intuitive how to use timer, etc- and I think a digital clock looks odd on this range. The older style analog clock was much nicer looking. All in all, though- I would definitely buy this all over again.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Christopher GREAT EXPERIENCE
I love my new Fratelli . Its easy to use. I love the Euro Style and the Convection has worked wonders for my cooking and for Cooking for my large family. very durable range too..The only thing that it's missing is a Self Clean mode, but Most if not all of these Commercial Style pro and European Ranges do not have it..All in all I am extremely Happy with my Unit

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Edison Would not buy again
I agree with the previous reviewer that the oven is incredibly uneven. Everything in back burns unless you are extremely vigilant about rotating items during the cook time. The ovens are VERY small and my family is vegetarian so we aren't even trying to cook roasts and turkeys. The fan is incredibly loud. I have had an oven repairman out three times to look at the unit and he eventually shrugged his shoulders and declared "I would see if you can get a refund." The range is only one year old and already I have replaced the oven gasket--it had completely crumbled to pieces. I am an avid cook and baker and have never had so many issues with a range. Prior to this I had a Kenmore professional with a double oven that I would go back to in a heartbeat. The look of the stove is really its only positive feature.
