Frank Restaurant

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.

Frank is one of my absolute favorite restaurants and has been since the very first time I dined here. The interior is beautiful and intimate, and I always love the music. The decorations make you feel right at home. I often bring friends from out of town here, and they are always impressed by how amazing the food is and how perfectly sized the portions are. Most recently, I celebrated my birthday here with a large group, and we were accommodated brilliantly, even with multiple allergies and dietary restrictions. My favorite dish is the gnocchi, and I never skip the tiramisu. My friends ordered the affogato and lava cake, which were absolutely delightful, and I was happy to steal a few bites. I have now had two birthday celebrations here, and it will probably become a tradition. Thank you so much to the staff!

I love everything about this place. Came for dinner with a friend after a 2 day conference. One of our friends who lives in town recommended Frank, and so thankful for his recommendation. The bartender/waitress is amazingly friendly, gorgeous and you can tell she loves her job. The menu had so much to choose from. Service was fast and friendly. It's a small and cozy place with only 1 closet bathroom in the middle of the place. They have an amazing outdoor seating space when it's good weather. I highly recommend this place if you are in town.
