" I’ve been to Frank’s several times over the years, and while it’s had its ups and downs, this last visit left me discontented. I ordered the chicken Alfredo, and while it was a decent portion, the sauce was rather bland and lacked seasoning. The atmosphere was nice as usual, but when combined with average food, it didn’t excite me. The positive aspect was the staff; they were still friendly and attentive. Sometimes, I have to wonder if the glory days of this place are behind it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Frank's with my family recently and we were impressed! The decor sets a cozy mood, reminiscent of dining in Italy. I tried their Chicken Piccata and it was cooked to perfection, accompanied by freshly baked bread that was simply amazing. The service was attentive, with our server checking in on us just the right amount. We left feeling satisfied and full, so I would say it’s a great value for the money spent. We will certainly be back to sample more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other night, my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Frank's. The atmosphere was romantic with soft music playing in the background. I truly enjoyed the seafood ravioli; it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavors. The service was prompt and attentive, and the complimentary garlic bread was a lovely start to our meal. Overall, it was a splendid dining experience and I would absolutely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Frank's on my way through Van Buren and no regrets! The ambiance was just right, and they had a great variety of pasta to choose from. I opted for the spaghetti and meatballs, and it came with a hearty portion. I really appreciated the prompt service and how clean the place was. The garlic knots served with my meal were a hit too! I would definitely recommend this place for a quick dine-in or takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Frank's Italian Restaurant was hit or miss for me. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the lasagna and found it lacking in flavor and substance. The portion was decent, but it felt more like a typical diner dish than authentic Italian cuisine. Service was friendly, though, and that did help redeem the experience for me. Hoping my next visit turns out better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frank’s is a charming little Italian spot that has won my heart. Despite living out of state, every visit back has me coming here for their chicken marsala. The flavors are rich and the price is exceptionally reasonable for the portions received. Service is consistently good—never rushed but always attentive. I look forward to my next trip to taste all that’s new on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Frank's after hearing multiple recommendations. The garlic knots were a must-have starter and they did not disappoint. However, main course was the lasagna which I found fairly mediocre. It seemed a bit too dry compared to what I typically expect. Overall a decent experience but I wouldn't rave about it. I'd be willing to give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)
