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.

Note, outside seating only available until 12am and the restaurant is cash only. The food was excellent. In particular, the Monday special (homemade ravioli with butternut squash filling) was a spectacular vegetarian option. The service was great: fast and helpful. The late night sidewalk seating was really cool. I enjoyed the vibe immensely! Grandma's cooking late night outside on 2nd street. Couldn't be happier.

Great service, great Italian-American food, cash only but they have an ATM. Fun place to go with someone who knows the menu. I recommend asking the server for their recommendations because I wouldn’t have ordered certain items that were amazing! The pasta al limone stood out as well as the burrata. The rigatoni with ragu was great but I was already full from so many starters that I took half home. Be careful not to over order!

Eggs with meat ragu is amazing its like a shakshuka on steroids. Olive oil that they give you with the bread is mad spicy so beware of that. Cash only but they have atm next door inside bar area. Bathroom is super small not comfortable. Restaurant itself is comfy and has a rundown/rustic feel to it. Service is friendly and welcoming. Would come again. Get the 3 for 1 brunch drinks deal and you can have 3 drinks for $17.

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.

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.
