    I’ve been eating at Frankie’s for years. Dining here was one of reasons I moved to Brooklyn. Last night I was asked to leave before we finished our bottle of wine because they had reservations coming. It felt a little sad. Times have changed. Once upon a time it was cool. No longer. Don’t linger we have business to do. Turn em and burn em. Your food is still great and I love your olive oil. My olive oil will never ask me to leave the table before I’m finished. Neither would Nonna. Arrivaderci Frankies.

    Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

    We had 8 in our group for a Christmas Hanukkah dinner celebration. The restaurant was busy and the staff was incredibly profession, polite and attentive. Nick was our server and was great. Stopped by the table numerous times to check on us (If we needed anything else, etc...) Also never felt rushed. Just an overall fantastic experience. Will go back again! All of us enjoy edthe entire evening.
