I took my partner to Frankie's for Father's Day and I was beyond impressed. The server Karen was very pleasant, attentive, and hilarious! The owner Frank even came to the table to greet us and ensure that we enjoyed our meal. To top it off he gave us a taste of his homemade lemon-cello (I believe that's the spelling ) and it was fantastic!
We started with the Ciabatta appetizer which could have been a meal; The flavor was unbelievable. For my entree, I had the chicken parmigiana and my partner had the T-Bone steak with the spinach ravioli. We ended the night with the chocolate molten cake.
We will definitely return and recommend. -

Came here with another couple that are regulars and it was ok. Service, food and ambiance was ok. I felt the menu was lacking a bit by not having the typical Italian options like eggplant Parmesan or shrimp scampi, etc. for the appetizers we had sausage and peppers which everyone seemed to like and the eggplant appetizer stuffed with ricotta and spinach that reminded me a lot of Rockefeller stuffing that is usually on oysters. My husband ordered the risotto special of the evening and barely ate it. I had the lobster ravioli in vodka sauce and it was good.
Overall I have no big complaint or compliment hence the 3-stars, but I probably wouldn't pick this place to come back to. -

Cute restaurant that has excellent service. I'm giving this place 4 stars because my husband LOVED it and I felt like it was okay, so this review reflects both of our opinions. They serve bread before ordering and it tasted great, but it would be awesome to serve a spice mix with the olive oil offered on the table or some kind of dip to accommodate.
We got the baked clams as an appetizer (1 dozen). My husband loved them. I wasn't the biggest fan and maybe it was a texture thing. I ordered the lobster ravioli and he got the salmon plate. The ravioli was good and had actual lobster filled pieces, but again, I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The salmon was well cooked but lacked some flavor. My husband liked his dish a lot so I may have been having an off day. The place is esthetically pleasing and was decorated with fall decorations which was nice. It's not large so it can get loud but that's expected on a Saturday night when we went. The best part in my opinion was the awesome service. -

Medium sized quiet place offering mostly authentic Italian food. I started with Bruschetta Caprese as an appetizer. The dish is essentially caprese served on top of small slices of toasted bread. I then had a Cesar Salad, where Frankie's makes their very own Cesar dressing. Very delicious with a hint of anchovy. For the main entree I had the Spinach Ravioli with artichoke, peas, and mushroom in a white cream sauce. Outstanding!

Another wonderful meal at this fine establishment. For tonight's dinner, I started with Caprese Salad--ultra-fresh mozzarella atop fresh tomatoes, sprinkled with fresh basil, and drizzled with olive oil. Because of the previous great experience, I also ordered another Caesar Salad. The thinly sliced Parmigiano Reggiano makes this delicately dressed salad fantastic. And for secondi, Pollo alla Nina. This tasty dish is made with sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes in a mild brandy sauce on top of tender chicken breast. Squisito!
Grazie, Frankie, for another great experience! See you all again soon.
