" Overall, I had a mixed experience. The place looked fantastic, very cozy and warm which was nice. I tried the lasagna, and it was good but not exceptional. Some dishes looked appetizing, and I may give it another chance someday for that reason. But, not sure if I’ll come back any time soon with so many options around. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! The ambiance instantly felt inviting when we walked in. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and let me tell you, they were some of the best I've had outside of Italy. The waitstaff was very attentive without being overbearing, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. We finished with a classic tiramisu which was decadent and not overly sweet. I will definitely be recommending Frankie's to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique dining experience! Frankie's feels like an Italian grandmother's home. The food was comfort food at its finest. I particularly loved the baked ziti—everything was homemade! Each dish felt like a work of art. We shared a variety of appetizers and they all came out promptly. The staff was incredibly attentive, even during the busy hours. I’ll certainly be back whenever I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely charmed by this place! It felt like stepping into a cozy Italian kitchen. Everything we ordered was delightful, particularly the seafood cioppino which was flavorful and generous. We had the best server who was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The only downside was that the parking was a challenge, but totally worth every minute spent finding a spot. I'll be returning soon, no doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Frankie's was a treat. I love how they focus on classic Italian cuisine. The chicken Parmesan was my favorite! Perfectly fried and smothered in marinara and cheese. The portions were generous, making it easy to share. The ambiance was warm and homey. I left feeling full and happy. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frankie's has an old-world charm that I absolutely loved. It feels like a family-run restaurant where the food and service come from the heart. I tried the minestrone soup for a starter—it was hearty and seasoned to perfection. For my main course, I had the gnocchi, which was pillowy soft. However, I felt the dessert could have been better; it lacked the wow factor. All in all, a lovely experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a genuine Italian dining experience, Frankie's is wonderful. The staff really goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant evening. The pasta dishes are spot-on authentic—try the spaghetti carbonara! Ended our meal with their famous cannoli, which was the cherry on top! Amid an exceptionally busy Friday night, every detail was still taken care of! " (*Curated Review*)
