Frank's Italian Restaurant

I’m late in posting, but I had to share the consistent and wonderful experiences at Franks. I love coming here with my mom, I’ve also brought my boyfriend for his birthday. The food is delicious every time I’m here. I’ve had a nice variety of meals from my visits here, everything has been exceptional. I also want to say the drinks are delicious too. I’ve inquired about different cocktails, some that are classic but perhaps not listed in the menu. The bartender has crafted many a delicious whiskey or rye cocktail! When you come to Frank’s you know you’re getting delicious authentic food. When you bring people to Frank’s you know you’re making a good impression, it’s a beautiful restaurant with attentive staff. I’m looking forward to my next visit. P.S. get the dessert too!

Excellent meal. Nice menu with a great selection. Wonderful outdoor seating area. Can't go wrong at Frank's!

Update: Great as usual!

06/2025 update: excellent meal and dining experience. Very much enjoyed my meal.

I wish I could give this place more then 5 stars!!! Joelle was our waitress and phenomenal at her job! Everything was just so delicious there!!!!

Their sausage and meatballs pam are amazing. I forgot to take a picture when it first arrived because it was smelling way too good. It comes with side salad and garlic bread which are also fresh and tasty.
Staffs are friendly and Frank gave us some coupons for macarons at their new bakery

What a great place! I really can’t say enough good things. Our waitress, Joelle was so sweet. The food was amazing, especially the lobster ravioli! The cocktails were also very good! The owner stopped by the table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves which I thought was really cool! We will definitely be back!

Go start with a drink at the bar from one of their friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Get seated literally anywhere in the restaurant or on the patio and experience the incredible atmosphere. Order a unique dish that you may have never tried before. I can promise that you won't be disappointed. If you find food this good anywhere else, I don't know if it can top the cozy and uplifting feel you get as soon as you enter. Afterwards, grab yourself a tasty dessert and a shot of espresso, then go beat your friend or family member in a game of fooseball in the back of the bar. Maybe have one more drink, hug Frank, kiss the chef, tell all your friends about it and do it again soon. Its an experience every time. This place is one of a kind. Will be back every time I'm in town.

When we arrived, the maître d’ said that we would have to wait 15 minutes for our table because, “the kitchen was backed up.” What a refreshing breath of honesty! We were instructed to wait at the bar. The bartender was fast, friendly, and efficient. My friend was very happy with his Moscow Mule.

Our table was ready within the promised time. We ordered the risotto balls and the calamari as hors d’oeuvres. The risotto balls were inexpensive and huge (2 big balls). However, I would not recommend them. The calamari were the best calamari I’ve ever tasted. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallop entree. The scallops were cooked to perfection.

We got to meet Frank. He is the son of two Sicilians. He said he has a house in Italy. He curses like a sailor, makes you feel like family, and is a hoot! I was glad to have patronized his establishment. My friend said he’ll bring his wife to Frank’s for their anniversary.

Great place and even better food! Really values the Italian culture and has such a nice vibe and aesthetic. Totally forgot the name of our waiter but we were the guidici family and she was the sweetest! Thank you for a great night!

I was road tripping with my friends yesterday from Ottawa to NYC. Maine, NY, was one of our stops and got introduced to Frank’s Restaurant. The food was amazing, I had a grilled salmon over risotto and the atmosphere was great. We met this incredible host, he offered us to sit at the bar and have some drinks until our table got ready, and surprisingly it was quick. Would definitely stop by on my way back to Ottawa.

I took some business associates there for a dinner meeting . The food was amazing , cooked to perfection . The salad was fresh and beautifully prepared . The seating and dining room was very nice . It was our first time there, and I highly recommend going if you have never been there .

Very good dinner. I just wish there were a few more scallops and shrimp with the pasta. It seemed a bit skimpy on the seafood, considering the price. Also, the paper container for leftovers is not ideal for anything with sauce or oil...it soaks right through. Maybe consider getting plastic ones. The wait staff was incredible.

This is an incredible restaurant. Everything is top notch. We have gone there 2x to celebrate special family events and both times Frank and his staff have treated us like family. By far the best restaurant in the area. Can’t wait to return!

Have been twice recently and it’s delicious! It can get super busy and a bit loud but it’s fun and the service is good and food is so yummy! Would go again for sure

We had a party of 8 here tonight. Everything was amazing. We tried the cheese wheel pasta. Wow that was to die for. Desserts were a 10 out of 10. Our server Gabby was so friendly and a pleasure to have as our server. We drove 2hrs to get there and definitely will go back.

Always has good food. Unique menu choices. If you have a larger party, make reservations. You may have to wait for a table at peak times since it is popular. Great for special occasions.

Absolutely awesome food from bruschetta to gnocchis to steak. The salads are all home made with fresh veggies and dressings. The garlic bread is out of this world! The deserts are best in town easy! Gabriella does an incredible job and always has fully stocked cakes and cannolis that will blow you away. The atmosphere is old Italian music dim lighting and polite service ! It was our servers first day (Alyssa) I believe and she was great! Highly recommend fir friends family etc! Frank hand delivered a rose to our table and these guys are great!

I really can't say enough about this restaurant. We took my mom there for her birthday and it couldn't have gone better. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating and the minute you walk in you can smell how delicious the food is going to be... And they deliver on that every meal we had with every side dish from the appetizer all the way to the desert and espresso. On top of that you'll get to meet Frank because he's always out talking and meeting and making sure that the dining room and the food and our whole experience is great. The whole staff at least every single person that we've met were super friendly. And it's clean you can tell they care about their atmosphere like I said I can't say enough
So I'll end it with this, you have to go there and experienced it yourself and then you'll end up wanting to leave a review like me because it's so rare to get the whole package. Great job to the entire team there and thank you Frank for your restaurant my family and I love it and can't wait to schedule our next reservation!

Went to Frank's for the first time Tuesday night. And what a hidden gem, to me anyways. Never knew it existed but my fiance told me about it. She hadn't been there in years. So it was kinda new to her again. It was the perfect weather to enjoy dinner outside. And they have an absolutely awesome patio. The place used to be BYOB, but they now have a full service bar. So if that was swaying your decision on going here, don't let it. We started off with some drinks and salads. I had the Chicago Wedge which was a nice change since it had ranch and bleu cheese. My lady ordered a white pizza with fresh basil and tomato and I had the chicken parm. That's my standard order when trying an Italian restaurant I've never been to. Both the pizza and the dinner were delicious. Nice thin chicken cutlets, breaded and fried to perfection. Sauce was very good, a little on the sweet side and lots of fresh basil. Pizza was cooked perfectly, definitely my new favorite white pizza in the area. Service was exceptional as well. All in all, Frank's was a great experience and we'll definitely be back more often!

Great food and service... I have been there twice and both times were the same... Love Frank's Italian Restaurant...

I had the best Beef Ravioli I have ever had. My daughter had the lobster Fra Diablo and said it was excellent. The desserts looked awesome but we were full from our meal.
