Been a customer for 20 years. Awesome Pizza and salads! In person dishes are great too but this is my families go to pizza place, the pizza crust is always perfect! Great consistent service and execution!

Met a friend for dinner on a Tuesday night and so enjoyed our evening at Frank's!! The restaurant was very clean, which is just important to me. It's small and intimate, so we could talk and hear each other. It wasn't busy at all, with just a couple other tables and some pick up orders dropping in. Our server Christine was fabulous! She responded well when we told her we were going to be slow and were visiting while eating dinner. She checked in on us the right amount of times, offered suggestions (which were spot on) and kept our drinks full. She made us smile several times and I hope to see her again! The food was delicious. We started with the eggplant appetizer (recommended by Christine) and it was so good! Crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside with the right amount of sauce. The dinner salads were the right size and their house dressing (a balsamic vinaigrette) was divine. I wish I knew how to make that at home. Maybe I will ask next time! For dinner I wanted something lighter and no tomato sauce so opted for the Chicken d'oro (another suggestion when I asked about this or the piccata) and it was spot on. The right amount of lemon butter sauce over some super thin, breaded and sautéed chicken breasts. I ate them all!!! My friend thoroughly enjoyed the chicken parm and we both got spaghetti with our orders. For dessert I went with the tiramisu. It was different from what I normally get in that the lady fingers weren't totally covered in mascarpone, and I enjoyed this too!! I really look forward to returning and trying something else....hopefully to get Christine as our server again!

Tony, our server did a great job. The food was very good, especially compared to other Italian restaurants in the arena. Prices were very far for the quality of food. The atmosphere is traditionally Italian restaurant and cozy. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience. Would come back again and recommend to friends.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pizza⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Calzone

First visit tonight was very good. Our server was Garrett and very friendly. The food was pretty decent for being a small restaurant. We will be back.

Wonderful meat ravioli and is one of my favorite spots in that part of the West End. Ambiance is quiet enough to hear conversations and nice for a special occasion for up to 4.

Wonderful family run traditional Italian restaurant with excellent wine list and full bar. The pasta dishes are incredible. The white pizza is phenomenal, homemade tiramisu to die for. Great staff, friendly service.

For $26 for the franks special, the middle dough wasn’t cooked so it was impossible to pick a piece up, when pulling it off pan it flopped all over the pan and table. First time there and we won’t go back pizza was soggy and the selection of 8 topppings was just thrown on there and pretty
