After recently moving to the area, my partner and I have been trying the local restaurants. Today we discovered Frankie’s and were blown away, particularly by the spicy vodka rigatoni, shrimp scampi, and tiramisu! The portions were well worth the price, especially compared to the other Italian restaurants we have tried. The vodka sauce is the best we have had in New York! And the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back soon!

This place was a hidden gem! I don’t give out 5 stars easily, but this spot absolutely deserves it. Conveniently located not far from the highway exit, with plenty of easy parking—even on a Monday evening. We arrived around 6:30 PM and were seated immediately. They started us off with complimentary garlic knots, and wow—so good! We ordered the pear salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken alla vodka. Every dish was excellent—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and our food came out quickly. I’d definitely come back again—highly recommend!

Frankie's is such a cozy and intimate restaurant. The servers are pleasant and nice and the food is DELICIOUS. Our server was Desa and she was excellent! I recommend Frankie's. The dessert is delicious and the music is great. I would've taken a pic of my main dish but it was too good.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We got the fried burrata and tri color pizza to split between 3 people for a light snack, and it was the perfect amount. Great family friendly atmosphere right on Arthur Ave.

Frankie’s has to be hands-down my favorite restaurant on Arthur Ave. It has a lovely and intimate ambiance with low, warm lighting and beautiful decor. The food and drink are wonderful too — I’ve never had a dish or cocktail that I didn’t like and it is always such a struggle to choose what I want to get because everything is really just that good. The servers and hosts are always so kind and attentive as well which really adds to an overall delightful experience.

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this place was, we stopped in just to have a drink and the salted caramel espressotini was by far the best version of an espresso martini I’ve ever had. We also shared the burrata which was fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable and everyone was so friendly, I would recommend this place to anyone and I’m looking forward to coming back.

We loved it here. Service, food and drinks 10/10. I really loved the baked clams, chicken francese and pizza. Made reservations here with my girlfriends and we were very happy to have chosen this restaurant. Will be coming back.

Frankie’s is your quintessential New York neighborhood Italian restaurant. Wine bottles on the walls, “brick” line walls, and those wonderful, heavy wooden tables. The service is great and we never had to wait more than a few minutes before someone from their attentive staff checked on us. The warm house bread is delicious, but not served with the usual plate of olive oil and cracked pepper, so we asked for them and were given olive oil and parmesan which turned out to be a nice pairing for the bread. For a starter we shared the pear salad, which was delicious. I avoided the feta, but didn’t mind the slight sharp flavor the smaller crumbles provided. The candied walnuts were flavorful and the pear slices were delicious. I also enjoyed the vinaigrette. This was a great starter. My dining companions ordered the shrimp pasta (mildly spicy) and lasagna. Both had a great flavor. Frankie’s sauce game is on point. I ordered the broccoli rabe and added mushrooms (highly recommended if you’re a fungi fan). The sausage was flavorful and the dish was well oiled. Hopefully the leftovers will retain the flavor. I suggest making reservations, especially if the weather is nice.
