Frankie's Italian

I ordered the veal parm. After about an hour I got my food. Pasta sauce very salty, veal overcooked. Tried my partners mushroom pasta fungi. It was disgusting, overcooked pasta that was bland and dripping in oil. Servers were very nice. The kitchen on the other hand, not impressed. You want to charge $30 for plate of pasta that you promote is made in house. Than make it worth it. Will not be going back.

We reserved a table for a Friday dinner. Everything we ordered was decent; however, there was nothing to take note of. It wasn't crowded for a Friday night, but we were a bit early diners that night to catch a show nearby. Even though they forgot my tiramisu, the service was friendly. I don't like to be rushed and almost pushed out at a restaurant, and the relaxed-paced service at Frankie’s was something I liked against some other mentions.

Friendly service but a little bit slow (waited ~5-10 min after finishing meal and still had to waive them down for the bill). Our server was friendly and very helpful. Lots of great specials available. We had the meatballs & garlic/Parmesan bread, chicken parmigiana & funghi pappardelle. The meatballs were a bit dry (overcooked) but the tomato sauce was fresh and the addition of ricotta was nice. The sauce was perfect to dip the garlic bread into. The chicken parmigiana was juicy and had the perfect amount of breading. Pomodoro pasta was simple, pasta was nicely cooked. The Parmesan they sprinkled on top tasted store bought. Funghi pasta was a bit oily and had a weird gritty taste. I think they use a truffle paste which had a bitter taste. Would not order again. We didn’t eat it all. We got an espresso martini. It was very good and would recommend! It was simple (won’t have some of the more complicated flavours at a true cocktail bar) but good flavours and the foam was done perfectly. Price was fair. $26 for the chicken parm, $21 for the funghi pasta, $15 for espresso martini. Overall, it’s a decent restaurant but would not go out of my way for it. There are others close by in the area that we’d go to over it.

We made the drive from Brampton to celebrate my wife's birthday and it was Amazing!! Sharon ( forgive me if that's not correct) and the whole staff were friendly and very attentive. Fantastic food and great drinks. Thanks to the whole crew!!

They offer Italian cuisine with a full bar. They have a couple of tables, mostly serving parties of 2, but you can ask them to put the tables together if there’re more in your group. The music could be turned down a bit, specially if you seat close to the kitchen area. We ordered “Lamb Sausage Pizza”. The pizza crust was perfectly crispy and the texture was amazing, but the bottom of the crust was mostly burned. The pizza tasted good, but it was too fatty, maybe because lamb meat contains more fat compared to veal or beef. You can find Green P parking on the street in front of the restaurant or on the adjacent streets.

Think the new owners are ironing out the kinks and getting their footing. Stopped by for dinner and got a bunch of stuff. The kale salad and meatball were both pretty tasty, and thankfully we got them at happy hour prices for the portion sizes. The speziata dolce pizza was ok, crust was a bit burned and would have liked the soppressata to be a bit less chewy, but the hot honey was great flavour. The lamb ragu pappardelle had good al dente pasta and chunks of tender lamb. The po bianco was my least favourite given it was identical to pizza dough and not enough garlic. Interior and vibe are casual, service is quick, overall a pretty good experience.

Visited Frankie's Italian as part of a Yelp Elite event this week. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a striking portrait of the restaurant's matriarch, adding a personal touch to the ambiance. The interior seamlessly blended retro vibrance with modern design elements, featuring wooden accents and marble tables reminiscent of authentic Italian eateries. While the service was satisfactory overall, there were occasional delays that affected the dining experience. Our meal included the Lamb Sausage Pizza and the Beef & Pork Ragu Pasta. The pizza had robust flavours, with the standout being the perfectly baked crust. However, we were disappointed to find that the "sausage" lacked the expected texture, resembling crumbled lamb rather than a traditional sausage. The Beef & Pork Ragu Pasta showcased classic Italian spices, although the ground meat had a softer, flatter consistency than anticipated. Despite these minor setbacks, Frankie's Italian offers a solid option for Italian cuisine enthusiasts seeking a taste of classic dishes in a cozy setting.

I found out about this restaurant online on Instagram and have been meaning to check it out. I came here for my birthday celebration. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by the restaurant’s staff and welcomed. They had clear signage about their happy hour specials and were happy to give me the run-down on the specials I go off the menu. The food was absolutely well prepared, well plated, delicious. The restaurant has a very cozy, intimate vibe. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. The marrow bones appetizer was my favourite dish and at such a great price of $15. If you come to this restaurant, definitely try this dish. We were well attended to during our dinner. Thank you to the staff - for your kind hospitality and making our visit so warm and comfortable.
