Frank Restaurant is a traditional Southern Italian Trattoria that opened in 1998 featuring the simple Italian food and wines from Puglia, Naples and Sicily where famed chef @FrankPrisinzano 's family is from, along with many other classic Italian American dishes.
“Absolutely delicious pasta with INCREDIBLE staff! So attentive and friendly. The tagliatelle mushroom was ridiculously good- I could come back for that alone.”
“I absolutely love this old-school Italian gem! Friends who have been coming here for years recommended it, and it truly feels like a Lower East Side classic. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere captures that authentic NYC charm perfectly. A must-visit!”
“Cozy and delicious! Best black seafood linguine I’ve ever had and a nice wine selection….pasta perfectly al dente and huge seafood portion….11/10”
“Unsure on this one, food was incredible, service was OK considering tipping is a big thing in America you’d expect better service. Walked in and the heater was on full blast and by the time we were leaving it was freezing cold in the restaurant. Very confused”
“Belonging to the same family as Lil Frankie's this is a great option for reliable Italian food and a last-minute large group spot. I ended up having the black spaghetti with calamari and it was great! Would recommend the watermelon basil salad and the molten chocolate cake for dessert. If you're looking for a ton of space you definitely won't find it here...but then again, it's the East Village... and also New York.”
