Frankie's Italian Trattoria

“Always enjoyable. See photos for more information. This is definitely the best Italian food in the area. That other place in Waynesville isn’t even close to this if you’re looking for authentic Italian food and atmosphere.”

“We had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic—everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The service was just as impressive; our wait staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. One of our favorite touches was the little market attached to the restaurant, where you can purchase the same wines featured on their menu to take home. Such a great idea! We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for excellent Italian food and a wonderful overall experience.”

“I've been here 4 times over the past year and I love it every time. The food is really good, both the entrees and pizza! The atmosphere is nice, slightly upscale but not snobby. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. This time I got the Eggplant Sicilla and a Toscana pizza to go...Yum.”

“Located on Soco Rd. in Maggie Valley, this Italian restaurant provides a “good” place to grab a meal in the valley. We ate dinner there on a Monday evening and had to wait quite a bit after being seated before anyone came to the table and took our drink orders. They bring bread and butter before the meal. The pizzas were very good. It is cooked in a brick oven. The mushrooms with the veal were undercooked. There was a piano player playing most of the time. The music was good, and VERY loud because it echoed off the tile floors. We had a hard time having a conversation since we were in the same room as the piano and the bar. They provide a kids activity paper w/ crayons that has the kids’ menu. Their beer selection is very limited/basic.”

“I ordered a Margarita pizza, a Meatball pizza and 20 wings ($75). I've had a lot of Margarita pizzas and they gave me a plain Cheese pizza. I called to let them know and the girl on the phone insisted I was wrong. She told me the Margarita pizza is another name for a Cheese pizza. Really, really?
