Frankie's Restaurant Arthur Avenue

The staff could not have been more pleasant.
We had a lovely time there.
Started with a generous portion of Calamari, so fresh, and a fab Burrata salad.
Yummy.
However 3 out of 4 main dishes were over seasoned.
The Shrimp scampi was cooked beautifully, and tasted fab.
The manager was super nice and took the chicken off our bill.
I’ll definitely be back.
It was great except for the seasoning.

We came on a Sunday around 4 pm.
We were probably the only ones in the restaurant. Miguel…our server was very attentive.
Came back after every serving inquired how we were doing. The bread: two types.
Olive and plain but warmed up.
Always a good start.
Olive oil also good quality, didn’t have after taste. Apps: grilled octopus was very good.
Not over or under Just perfect with some arugula and tomatoes.
Very refreshing. Burrata: very soft and moist.
Also served with salad and balsamic dressing. Fried calamari: crispy and not over fried.
The batter had some spices to it but the marinara sauce was a bit flat.
Could have a bit of kick to it. Main: Penne Alla vodka m: Great sauce and pasta cooked to a perfect chew Eggplant parmigiana: not doughy and cheese had appetizing melt with penne past with marinara.
The breading didn’t over power the eggplant, fluffy and light. Mussels with spicy marinara: finally the sauce had some kick to it.
The plating presentation of mussels was ornate. I would definitely come back again.
Next time will be steak on the table.

Delicious and authentic food, great prices, and exceptional service!!! Our waiter was so so sweet, $8 for a side of pasta of your choice! Caesar salad and caprese were so yummy as well.
Beautiful attention to detail all around.
My new favorite spot on Arthur Ave, couldn’t recommend more!
