Avis sur Frankys Chico
The food was delicious, and was brought promptly. The server was very friendly and took good care of us. All in all it was a great experience.
My favorite restaurant in Chico. Awesome Italian food. Friendly service. Great traditional local's atmosphere. Reasonably priced.
Delicious food, fresh pasta and the Clam Chowder was excellent. Definitely will be coming back.
Very tasty Italian food! This is the kind of place where you can take the family for a pizza or any other of their many dishes and everyone will have a great experience. I think the secret to great Italian food is in the sauces and they have it down pat here.
The Franky's experience is different depending on if you're ordering to go at the walk-up window, or dining inside. The takeout menu consists of large dish family-style sharing, and pizza/calzones. It's mostly popular with college students looking for a bargain on a large amount of food at a fair price. Dining inside is more refined, with higher prices and better dishes. Good food and drinks at a reasonable price, with great service and Italian themes.
Honestly we do enjoy our nights out at Franky's, good staff and good food too. We always enjoy the Sicilian Raviolis, and thier pizzas. The mousse cake and clam chowder is good too.
Frankie's is one of our favs in Chico. My husband and I go here when we want a cozy warm atmosphere for a night out together. Garlic piccata and lasagne are two of our favorite dishes. We really love their side salad with creamy balsamic dressing. Servers have always been kind and efficient.... they never leave us sitting there wondering if and when they will return.
Great spot, great staff. Love coming here for Thursday night fishbowls.
Fantastic as usual! We sat in the bar and were served by Nana who was great! FYI they have discontinued their Saturday happy hour.
Kept it simple, had soup and salad. The kitchen treats food with respect. The salad was simply done, but so fresh it could've been just harvested. The clam chowder (it was Friday after all) was top notch.
Was my first time in there in years. Their happy hour was amazing. Wonderful service. Good drinks. Who knew I could drink there instead of stumbling up to that window?!? Love
It's a nice little cozy restaurant in the middle of downtown Chico serving delicious food and drinks. I recommend you make reservations beforehand but the place is casual. We loved it and will definitely visit again.
Absolutely incredible food all around. The pork shoulder and beef tenderloin ravioli is top notch. Highly recommend and will return as often as possible!
Delicious food, good Italian is hard to find here in Butte County. Wait staff super friendly. If weather is cold, wear a sweater, it's chilly inside.
Frankys is by far the best casual Italian food in the area. Best soups in town and the service is always top notch. On top of that, the GM, Travis is always good for a hug.
Our favourite bar in town. Great happy hour, and Monday is happy hour all night! Brandon is our favourite bartender. Food is wonderful.
Last night we took my family to celebrate my grandson defeating cancer he's only 4 years old.. We were celebrating the anniversary of his successful bone marrow transplant.. Your staff and your food made us feel so special and wonderful and celebratory last night.. Sarah went out of her way to acknowledge what that baby had been through.. Your restaurant will forever be the place we celebrate our lives.. What was done for us last night was above and beyond the call of service.. Not to mention you had a beautiful patron pay for our meal.. I am a person that believes food is the first form of love and I experienced that last night at your restaurant.. Thank you thank you thank you
We had a very nice dinner! Awesome service and quick to get by meals! But the best part is the dipping bread sauce!
Best pizza on the planet talk about better Pizza than round table also the honey bread was amazing I will definitely pick this pizza over any pizza I recommend anybody waiting their time to put in this place thank you guys
Excellent customer service and attention to detail.
Went to Frankys about 20 yrs ago. It was delicious then. Had the manicotti. I took left overs home ate that for dinner. We were there at 4 pm. I don't live in Chico so drove an hour to get there. My daughter and I had a nice dinner. People had just started to get there so it wasn't packed. Hope to go back soon
I thought I made reservations for 6 pm so I show up at 6 and ends up I accidentally made reservations at the wrong restaurant but still with an hour wait they found a table for us within minutes! Food and service is always great
We loved our service with Justice!! She was super great and attentive, the food was great and we'll definitely be back!! I can't believe we've lived here in Chico 10 years and hadn't been there yet. Wonderful experience!
Went here to meet up with some old friends visiting from out of town and it worked out great. The food quality was amazing, the prices reflect that but it's worth it. And even with great food, good drinks, and good service, the ambiance wasn't too pinky-in-the-air and I felt comfortable dining there.
I've never had a bad experience here. I love just about everything at Fanky's, but the classic box deal at the window is still my favorite. 2 slices of pizza, (the slices a big) a 32 oz soda, and a side of ranch for $10 + tax
They have the BEST Bacon Potato creamy soup!! Terry's Cheese Bread is the bomb. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful. It was terrific service and excellent food.
Always a favorite when in town. Comfortable atmosphere, great service, and excellent food. I ordered the meat lasagna this time & it was excellent. My friend ordered the special, short ribs, and really enjoyed that. Combined with a glass of Cabernet...excellent.
One of the BEST restaurants in Chico hands down. Franky's is such an underrated restaurant in Chico. They have amazing Calzone's and drink specials. My favorite is the family special which is great for a party of 4 or more. You get pizza, spaghetti and salad for under $40 bucks. Their service is great and I love their atmosphere. They have toy train that runs along the top of the building and it's definitely a kid friendly environment. Friendly tip, this place gets busy and their dining area is not large so while you can definitely show up and get a table for 2 in no time, call ahead to save a table for a party of 4 or more.
Always wonderful food!! Love the early bird special!! The young waitress was not very accomodting. First time for that. Highly recommended!!!
We usually sit at the bar and enjoy the happy hour spaghetti special with meat sauce and the special wine of the day. Franky's meat sauce is great! Adding a meatball is a great value and makes a good sized meal. Comes with a little slice of garlic bread and a salad. They overdo it a bit on dressing, so ask for it on the side. The bar tenders and wait staff are friendly, helpful and competent enough. It makes for a nice, cheap early date. The atmosphere is okay, nothing to write home about. All in all, happy hour is a nice, early date at a good value. When we want to splurge we get the lasagna with meat sauce. This is the best lasagna I've ever had, even better than my mom's, no joke! (Sorry mom.) Other consideration: Happy hour ends too early for me, at 6pm, or else I'd go more often. A ball game is usually on the two tv's over the bar, if that's your bag. After dinner hour, the place often gets frequented by partying college students, not my bag. Pizza is good enough and sold by the slice at a good value at the outdoor window. And it's open very late!, which is great info because late night food is scarce in this town. If I was a hungry college student in the hood, I'd be at that window several times a week! (Edit Note: I'm told that the window is no longer open late. I assume this is a Covid thing and will go back to regular schedule eventually, but I don't know.)
This was our second time visiting Franky’s recently; Lauren was our server both times and was a pleasure. She is an excellent waitress she was taking care of us and another large table and a table outside where we saw her running. As a restaurant owner, this was great to see.
We had an excellent experience for our first dinner at Franky's. Fantastic, friendly customer service and delicious food. We really enjoyed the calamari, linguini with clams and cioppino. We will definitely be back!
This place was packed (no wait) and rightfully so! The food is absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back.
I have been going to Franky's for years whenever I want great pasta. The atmosphere is fun, nice bar, and great food. Friends of mine came to town, and wanted Italian, they suggested Olive Garden, and I said NO way, ever. Took them to Franky's and blew them away.
All the servers at Frankie's are great ,they are very informative , knowledgeable ,and very professional 👏. THE FOOD is fantastic, their bruchetta is to die for .I will eat here again and again .
Outstanding bartenders, mixologists. The lavender lemon drop is outstanding. The serving staff are very good at what they are do. Food is very good. Nice menu choices. Reasonably priced. Very much recommended.😁👍🍽🍹
I am writing this review solely for the take out window. I've eaten inside once or twice, but after I tried their pizza slices through the take out window I never went back. For basic pizza, this stuff is incredible. If you haven't already, go get you some.
Friendly, busy establishment. Extensive food n wine menu. Enjoyed the special of the day seafood linguini with pesto cream sauce which had plenty of scallops n shrimp. Can hardly wait to return n try out other dishes!
Have been to Franky’s on many occasions over the years. Last night’s visit did not disappoint. Pizza was delicious, drinks good a bed service super and not rushed. Recommend visiting when in Chico!
Food was amazing! Garlic bread and even the regular bread was so soft and full of flavor! Ordered Alfredo, lasagna and ravioli. It was alright just the texture threw me off but that's not an issue for everyone. Athena was our server and so nice!
It was my hubby's birthday and our first time there. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. Relaxed atmosphere but the food is top notch. The portions are more than adequate and we had to get take out boxes home! We shared their family special for 4 - salad, spaghetti, and 3-topping pizza. They surprised him with a slice ( huge) of their mousse cake that 7 of us shared. It.is.to.die.for!!
This place is great for dinner. We went early for dinner service, got there around 4:30. Seated right away. Service was impeccable. They were right at the table asking about drinks and apps. They also let you know the specials. I had the special and the pizza skins as an app. The food came out very quickly and was amazing. The special, beef and blue was amazing. Tender beef tips in a gorgonzola cream sauce on fettuccine. Chef's kiss. Pizza skins was a take on pizza I'd never had, where they had mashed potatoes on the pizza under the cheese. It was awesome. 5 stars on everything including the price. They even let you order to go with your order. I will be going again and can't wait to try the chicken Parm sandwich.
Yum!! Such a great place to grab a slice, their box deal is amazing! Huge slices, the sauce is delicious, they’re generous with the cheese, and the dough is so fluffy and chewy😍 Getting a whole pizza is worth it too!
Good atmosphere. Service has been very good most times in there. Best Lasagna in and around Chico, I think anyways. Good wines on their list too.. A nice dinning experience. Small parking area though. But you will find somewhere nearby..
Franky's is great! Richard was our server/bartender. He was excellent! They opened about ten minutes early so we could watch the niners/raiders game and everyone felt like family. I had the special (lobster scampi on angel hair pasta) and it was really good. Franky's is my favorite Italian restaurant in Chico. You can go casual or a little fancy. You just can't go wrong with Franky's
Their early bird special spaghetti and garlic bread was delicious (lack of words) and very filling. The girls were very helpful in asking for anything and would gladly bring it to me. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
We came to Chico on a business trip, and already had a bad impression of the city. However, this place surprised us. The waiters are very friendly and willing to accommodate to your needs. When our food came, it was some of the best pizza we've ever had. Would definitely recommend!
We celebrated my son's 50th birthday so we had a large group. The entire staff were happy to serve us. The Italian food was excellent. Everyone loved their food & how welcome we felt. Definitely making this restaurant a regular in my restaurant adventures.
Great food. It's always the best. Great service. I loved the espresso martini
The in-laws invited us to dinner to celebrate our birthdays. We had a lovely time. Our waitress was delightful and just the right amount of attentive. The food was amazing, everyone was raving about what they ordered. I had the lasagna and took a third of it home. My son had the calzone. The others had chicken picatta, the ravioli and the manicotti.
Come here based on recommendation of a friend and they did not fail to please. Every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. The calzone was so tempting that I failed to take pictures, pure delightful.
First time at Franky's, from the time we got in to the time we left. It was a great experience. Food was exemplary. Service was top notch. Will surely come back!
Deeeee friggin licious. I came here with my wife for our anniversary and it was perfect. It made me feel guilty for all the times I've been to Olive Garden. Our waitress was insanely friendly and accommodating and our food was outstanding. I wanted to lick the plate but I remembered I was in public so I waited until I got home to devour my leftovers. I give it 10/10 pepperoni slices mama mia I'll be back asap
Was randomly in the area for work and Google suggested I eat here. It was a delicious meal and I ate ever bite. Their fettuccine Alfredo was filling and flavorful.
Great food at a great price and wonderful staff and atmosphere!!
Great service, Everything is delicious; Chicken Marsala is my current favorite!

Great place for Italian food. It is more southern Italian. Pricing is reasonable.
I LOVE Franky's. I go here often for pizza. The pep, cheese, crust, deluxe, special are all incredible. The service is fast (they have been able to whip up a large pizza in about 10 minutes) and their staff are friendly. I have also gone inside and it is clean, nice, friendly staff, and their portion sizes are really good. I would definitely recommend going there with friends, family, or even when you are off work and need a slice of pizza.
We are regulars at Frankys. Good food and drinks and a very nice staff of people.
Wonderful dinner. I took a few friends one had never been to Frankie's. We ordered the family special and linguine and clams. Drinks were very nice as well. They loved it. He said I am definitly comming back. The service was excellent. Pizza was cooked perfect not under cooked like many places. I took friends from Roseville they said the same great food. I wish I remembered our waitress name she was very good..
One of the best spots for happy hour in Chico. Their cocktails are excellent, the food is always delicious, and the service is great.
Delicious! Big portion sizes. Bread and salad with every meal. Family and kid friendly. The best salad dressings in town to boot!

Food and service was good, I would say it needs a little more flavor and it has very limited parking but overall I give it two thumbs up!
I got a slice of pizza here and it was very good. I loved the design of the drive through kind of thing
Great happy hour apps and coctails, especially meatball sliders. Calamari looked great but really chewy and heavy with a sweet ketchupy sauce. Large portion. Great service. All was a 5 star, calamari 3 at best
Grabbed a slice of pizza at the window, it was very good. Their crust might be the best in town! The pizza was cheesy and delicious! $4 for one slice is a little expensive but it's a big slice!
The food was great, we had the fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken. Our waitress, Chloe, was wonderful, she was quick, fun and attentive. We'll definitely go back for more.
Very good dishes. I like the basilica and the chicken picata but everything is really good. Dinner salad is a good portion, bread is always fresh. Service is always timely and friendly.
This place is a little on the pricey side, but the food is amazing. Hit up their happy hour for good drink prices. Happy hour ends at 6pm
They have a very good happy hour with a reasonable selection of drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Had a family special that included a 3 topping pizza, spaghetti, and soup or salad for 4 people. It was very tasty and the price was good.
I've been coming here for over 20 years. I come far less since they stopped serving the Venetian chicken. The food is constantly excellent. However, during the pandemic I have had my the take out order messed up in some way 3 out of the last 3 times.
The service and food are both quite good. The cocktail selection is top notch. The place is clean and has a comfortable atmosphere. My one complaint is the limited gluten-free options; they do have a few, but for those with a gluten allergy, the menu is quite limited.
Everything we've tried has been delicious. We usually go during happy hour and have the very reasonably-priced pasta & salad from the happy hour menu. The place is noisy and somewhat hard to hold a conversation with your fellow diners bit good food! We always make a reservation so we don't have to wait. The servers are all extremely friendly and courteous. They greet you as you walk in and say goodbye when leaving.

Uhhh geeeze went here with dad at like 10pm to get some pizza. The door guy was nice and the bar tender was too but our pizza came out very dark and I'd say near burnt. I used to go here alot 10 years ago. Now it's not what it used to be.
Not sure if this is a trend because other Italian restaurants around town have also been mediocre lately. I had a shrimp Alfredo special, but was entirely under seasoned. There was something missing. Salt wouldn't fix it and the parmesan cheese hardly touched it. The others in my party had the same blandness in their meals with the exception of the pizza. On the plus, they have an amazing drink selection, which includes ginger beer. I would go back for the bar, but not the food.
We dined in @ Franky's a few days ago for dinner & also this was our first time we have been there. The food was very good. My boyfriend thought the waitress was a little slow &/or distracted as we were waiting a couple times for service.
Great service!! food was okay although it looked like a full bar they didn't have buffaloe trace or whistle pig. Lowkey that was the downside for me.
Overall pretty good, service was on their game. Food was okay, not a traditional Italian restaurant but decent. One thing I could say was the A/C was turned down and freezing us the entire time we were there.
The portion size is smaller on the early bird special. The toast was a joke. You used to serve the bead with balsamic with any dinner, not any more. Now you charge for the side of ranch. When a waitress asks you if you want it, she should be telling you the cost. We used to love going to eat at Franky’s. Not so much any more.
A little over priced for the quality, but the happy hour drink prices were good. Our waitress wasn't really good at follow through. We had to ask for things several times before they came, which was surprising since there were hardly any other customers. I will recommend that calzone though, it was a thing of beauty.
I've only ever gotten pizza from their outside counter, so take this with a grain of salt. The people are always nice, though it has taken upwards of 15 minutes to get a single slice of pizza. And the pizza is rather mediocre. There's only pepperoni or cheese, and the pepperoni is sparse. The dough is also rather thin and dense, not very pleasant
The lettuce was brown. the pasta was OK. I would recommend going back for lasagna. It’s their best dish. The service was excellent.
This place used to be nicer. Went in for a couple of drinks for happy hour. Base boards and carpet edges had old food all over them. Place looked like it hasn't been deep cleaned in years. Food is good, but if the dining area isn't clean, I wonder what the kitchen looks like!!
This was my second visit to Frankys. Our table shared multiple appetizers, entrees and dessert. The best appetizer was the bruschetta by far. My chicken parmesean was very small and not very good. And the side of pasta that came with it felt very much like an afterthought, lacking in flavor. We had the vanilla and chocolate swirl chocolate mousse for dessert which was excellent. Our waitress was excellent. Overall, not one of my favorite places to eat in chico.
Had my 60th birthday dinner with my friends, but disappointed with food quality. Salad dishes/breads - very good Soup - average 6 Main dishes - average (3 out of 6). below average (2 out of 6). Bad (1 out of 6) I haven't tried pizza yet. Will try pizza next time instead.
Went here for dinner recently and was surprised by how much I liked it. Entrees were really good. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was delicious. I really liked it. Drinks were a misfire though, I ordered a Manhattan and the bartender made me a martini with vodka. It's concerning when a bartender doesn't know the main alcohol in a common drink. The salad they served was lack luster as well. Bizarre excuse for a salad. Very flat, limp leaves of lettuce, with some shredded carrot on top. Dressing was bland. If they had prepared the drink properly and the salad wasn't just old lettuce on a plate, they'd be a top notch restaurant. Better food than the Italian Cottage, that's for sure.
Good service and food. My 3rd choice for Italian food in Chico.

We had been wanting to try Frankys since they started the radio ads rebranding themselves as fine Italian food. When we got there, service was great. Our waitstaff was attentive and fast. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, a favorite dish of mine. However, what came out of the kitchen was some weird tomato chicken stir fry that was nothing like chicken Marsala. I have made it better. Just a 2 second google searched recipe would be 10x better than what was on my plate. Chicken Marsala is a cream sauce, not a red sauce. It did not smell or even look appetizing. The chicken tasted raw, or old, not prepared right. I ended up discreetly spitting it out. Definitely not worth $20, I wish I had stayed home and cooked. We can only afford to do a date night once a month and this just ruined it for me. When I brought the leftovers home, we even asked a roommate to guess where we had gone, or what I had ordered based on what I brought home. He thought we had gone to Chinese food. Thankfully my partner's dish was easy enough for them not to screw up, fettuccini Alfredo. Franky's should stick to pizzas, this was not Italian cuisine. It is not all that they boast to be.
It would be nice if both bartenders tonight helped customers instead of flirting with new women coming through the door 45 min after we walked in and ordered. both bartenders ignored us and flirted with your new walkin clients. 2 strikes coming in with bad and over rated service with staff caring more about others then new customers, aka my husband and I won't be back. Tell your staff to stop favoritism.
We went there on a Saturday night, around 8pm. Initially there were quite a few customers there, but after about an hour we were the only ones in the restaurant with a few others at the bar. The ratio of employees to customers I would say was about the same, maybe more employees than customers, including what looked to be a manager. Our waitress and the hostess were good, until the very end when we were waiting to pay. I believe we sat there for around 20 minutes with our card ready to pay the check when we had already told the waitress we weren't going to order anything else. Our waitress, we were presuming, was off by this time because she was sitting at the bar drinking a glass of wine. Not one single employee out of the 3-5 that were left, including the manager, looked over at our table for what felt like forever. It appeared to be more of a social hour for them. Overall I would say poor service, especially for a Saturday night. Food was mediocre.
This is a nice small place, but pricy and poor quality of food. The staff was overwhelmed by the amount of people on a Tuesday night. Even my group and I were surprised how packed it was. Unfortunately, with it being packed, we had to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes for food. Then, 30 minutes for our checks... after the waiter came by to ask if we were ready to go... and another 15 minutes for the checks to finally arrive at our table before we can pay. We had to remind them since we kept being forgotten. The staff are sweet, but this establishment was extremely understaffed... it's obvious that this was poor management. The food was so bad. My group couldn't even eat half of their food. We all kind of just ate 1/4 of it. For pasta being $27, and it comes on a small plate with a tiny soup... that was ridiculous. I rather spent my money at 5th street steakhouse and gotten more flavorful fresh pasta and large soup! Overall, the food and appetizers just felt like frozen food or store bought can sauces and not fresh or homemade.

We did take out so I can't rate the service or atmosphere. Moved here from out of state and wanted to try local Italian. After eating their meatball sandwich and "special" Caesar salad we've learned where not to eat or go for Italian. The only good thing I can say is their sauce on the meatballs was good. The meatballs had so much bread filler that there was little meat taste. I'm assume this is probably a cost cutting measure, but the only problem is we'll never go back. The special Caesar salad, for which we paid extra, consisted of wilted old tasting lettuce, unseasoned croutons and a little Parmesan cheese on top. The Caesar dressing was good but didn't cover the old lettuce taste. I wanted to call them and ask about the old lettuce and etc but didn't want to ruin someone's day. Instead we'll just never go back or recommend to friends. If I want a cheaper and better tasting meatball sandwich, then I'll go to subway sandwiches. Sorry guys, maybe I'm spoiled by Spezia's Italian Restaurant in Omaha or Tavernetta's in Denver. But this is unacceptable for someone wanting real Italian and paying $27 for a half sized meatball sandwich and wilted unseasoned "special" Caesar salad.
First time visiting in years, not anything like I remembered. I ordered 3 entrees, two with Caesar salads, one with green salad for pickup by phone at 5ish on Thurs. 1. Two of the containers collapsed, quite the mess, but things like this happen, so I didn't think to take pics. 2. Sauce? What sauce? Even with half the noodles, even with the stuff left in the plastic bag, it wouldn't have been enough. 3. I watched the romain lettuce turn brown right before my eyes it was so old. The croutons were like rocks. The green salad was surprisingly fresh and tasty. 4. I swear the garlic bread was day old and burnt, then microwaved for our dining pleasure. 5. The meatball was tasteless and rubbery. Don't waste $100 like I did tonight. On the plus side, every employee I dealt with was very nice.
First time visiting in years, not anything like I remembered. I ordered 3 entrees, two with Caesar salads, one with green salad for pickup by phone at 5ish on Thurs. 1. Two of the containers collapsed, quite the mess, but things like this happen, so I didn't think to take pics. 2. Sauce? What sauce? Even with half the noodles, even with the stuff left in the plastic bag, it wouldn't have been enough. 3. I watched the romain lettuce turn brown right before my eyes it was so old.

Visited chico sat after a 22 yr absence. Wow, has this place changed . Food was tasteless and tasted old. Service was bad. Brought our salad, app, and dinner at the same time. I asked for a side of lettuce. Took them 15 mins to get it. The biggest disaapointment was the food. My wife said it wast the worst meal she has ever had. What a shame.
I will never go here again. On more than one occasion at night I have seen college students offer a free slice of pizza outside to any girls who will lift their tops for them. I know it is freedom of choice and all, and I hope it is not encouraged by the staff or owner, but I cannot go to a place like that.
The waitress Athena is a gem. She has great customer service. The food is another story. Yuck. I had the dry non seasoned calaszone. My son had the spaghetti. Both were equally gross.
Be sure not to leave your credit card at this establishment. If you do you and don’t live in town they will destroy it. My husband used my credit card and accidentally left it there when visiting my daughter. We live in Dublin. The had no problem with my husband paying for the meal with my credit card. But they wouldn’t release the credit card to my daughter or husband. I would need to drive 3 hours with my ID to retrieve the card. Due to their own policy the card was destroyed. My daughter wouldn’t be able to have it released to her. So basically you can use a credit card not issued to you to charge food there, but only the cardholder can retrieve. Thanks for ruining my Mother’s Day.
Went here with my family for dinner. We got the Alfredo dinner, spaghetti dinner , 2 kids pizza dinners and for appetizers we got garlic bread and mozzarella sticks. The Alfredo was probably the best Alfredo I have ever had in Chico, the mozzarella sticks and salad were very delicious!!!!!! The kids Inhaled their pizza dinners. Here comes the bad part the spaghetti was not delicious!!! The sauce was amazing but the noodles were like angle hair sized and overcooked the meatballs were also slightly burnt and the garlic bread was very over cooked. The spaghetti also didn’t come with very much sauce I had to ask for a side of sauce. Not the best deal for the price of the spaghetti. The waitress was amazing but seemed like there was not much she could do about the spaghetti. I would definitely come back but would not order the spaghetti.
We made reservations for dinner for our First Anniversary. My husband has issues with mushrooms and bell peppers.( hard on his stomach ) Our waitress told us all red sauce had both in meat sauces and marinara Instead of leaving we took a few minutes and my husband found another dish . He ordered a calzone.the waitress was nice and came out to ask if tomatoes would be ok. Which he was ok with. Well When it came to the table the calzone was burnt. ( I have pictures) my dish was fine except my bay shrimp linguine had about 7-8 tiny shrimp with tons of mushrooms. His dish looked so bad I don't even know how the cook allowed it to leave the kitchen. Very disappointed. We could have just went to Rione. Their Calzones are Amazing!!! Oh yeah and there were two drunk guys and a girl across from us being so loud , but finally left drunk driving I'm sure cuz we watched them get In Their truck .No Thank you Frankys
