This place is an Italian restaurant that is very unassuming. You walk by and your last thought is an Italian restaurant. But the food was really good. It was more authentic and less "olive garden-y" which I really liked. The portion sizes are kinda odd though. If you're going with friends, make sure you ask the server about the serving sizes because some portions are huge and some are tiny. My friend ordered the daily special of the tortellini and it was a decent portion. I ordered the chicken Parm and it was big enough that I was able to give him a nice chunk of my meal. It is a nice place overall.
Great little Italian restaurant in the east village. The service was terrific-great vibe. We had the lasagna special which was excellent-bubbly cheese and great flavor. The salmon was lightly flavored, perfectly braised with a large salad. The penne was light and flavorful. We finished with the tiramisu which was not overly sweet and had less rum than others we’ve tried, which made for a lighter dessert, great after pasta.
Cash only, and get there early or make a reservation.
Fantastic handmade pastas, sauces, and various other dishes with an authentic Italian American flair. A cozy, romantic interior, and ample outdoor seating. Highly recommended for a date night or quick weeknight dinner.
The service is very slow.
The pasta has so much tomato sauce that makes the pasta sour, I try to eat pasta not tomato sauce , the chicken parm don’t taste fresh.
I will not come back.
Very down to earth casual Italian restaurant in NY. The food was overall good but nothing out of this world like some other Italian spots around the city. It’s also cash only which always rubs me the wrong way for any food service place.
The selection is on the smaller side and the daily specials rotate so plan accordingly. Space is limited especially if you prefer indoor seating over the sidewalk.
While the food was average I will say our particular server was extra kind and helpful with menu recommendations.
Frank’s is a solid Italian restaurant. Nothing fancy or flashy. Simple, good quality Italian food. The servers are low key and friendly. The bruschetta was on fantastic, toasted sourdough bread. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the rigatoni al ragú had quality meatballs and sausage. The chicken parmigiana is MASSIVE, pounded flat and covered with tons of sauce, Parmesan, and mozzarella. End the meal with the affogato. Two scoops of vanilla covered in espresso…perfection. Simple and good meal.
My first time visiting NY City and my 24 yr old granddaughter (she lives and works there) insisted we had dinner at this quaint Italian restaurant called "Frank"! I'm in my 70s....I was in awe with the authentic food and atmosphere. Great service and the best homemade potato gnocchi in red sauce with meatballs and cheese! It's just delicious! I live in Toledo, Ohio, and we have some pretty delicious Italian restaurants, but this beats them all! I highly recommend Frank Restaurant for their home style decor and excellent quality food! 👌 Hope to visit again next summer! I'll be sure to bring cash. they don't take credit cards 😒 but, we managed and will be prepared next time. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. "As Arnold says, I'll be back!" LoL
You'll love it ,too! XO 🤗
Fantastic meal here! My friend and I spent two lovely hours in their outdoor dining structure. The service was fantastic and food delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. When the host asked us to leave early (we had been at our table for two hours), he even gave us extra wine to go to make up for it! So charming. I have been twice now and absolutely would go again.
