When I am down in Boca I make it a point to eat at Frank and Dino's. The food and the atmosphere is so tasteful for date night with my wife.

Who is the older bartender who dresses so inappropriately? I was embarrassed for her.

Food was delicious and atmosphere was very pretty and enjoyable, all except I was there on my anniversary with my husband and a bartender that was working that night was clearly drunk and out of line approached my husband to hug him and speak out of line with him and then from across the bar while he's walking back to our table she's screaming inappropriate comments to him. All was great until their bartender ruined my evening. Whether she saw him with someone or not her behavior was disrespectful and very unclassy. Ladies just a heads up. She really did ruin my dinner and I felt totally disrespected . So to the owners of frank and dinos I really suggest choosing more sophisticated employees since it has everything else going for it. Again place had great food beautiful atmosphere low class bartender

Best Italian restaurant in Lexington! Soft opening currently. Food is superb. Service is attentive. Valet parking for $10 and offers an efficient text service to call for the car when ready to leave. Music volume is perfect for conversation. What a gem!
We went there on a recommendation from our friend Tim Bluntson who was singing. The food was great I had the pear pasta and my husband had the salmon and we had the banana cream pie which was incredible. The waiter was very attentive and music was great. The only feedback that I have was that there didn't seem to be much room in between tables so people kept bumping into our table and at some point the corner we were sitting in became uncomfortably warm.

The bartenders were very attentive the atmosphere was festive I really enjoyed my experience here my first time here and I loved it can't wait to come back a DJ that's was spinning what seem to be 80s and 90s and a little bit of 70s

As a full-time Boca resident, I've been to many restaurants and we go out every weekend. We have not been here in six months and gave it a try. The prices went up and is much higher than other high-end Italian restaurants in Boca. The portions Or OK not large. The Caesar salad for $14 was very small compared to others. However all that is OK and can be dealt with. The service was very slow (not good). We had to keep asking our waiter to come back. First to take a drink order, second to place an appetizer and finally for everything else. Not once did he come over without us calling him. We were in no rush, we were there 1.5 hours. Never once did he come ask how things were. We got up to get our own balsamic dressing. Just overall not a good experience for $250! For 3 people and no entrees.

The table, chairs, service, drinks, food, deserts, and music was A+++++ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If you know anything about GREAT Italian food, then you will LLLLLOVE this place! Again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Went to dinner with another couple who goes here regularly. Started with appetizers of zuppa de cozze, mediterrean mussels in fresh herb sauce with a touch of garlic, cannellini beans and white wine as well as gnocchi with pesto sauce. I had the linguini con vongole (linguine with fresh baby clams in white clam sauce). It was excellent, particularly the tender linguini and fresh clams. We also had the salmon with mustard white lemon and arrugula and the pollo parmigiana (chicken breast breaded lightly fried topped with pomdoro sauce and mozzerella cheese. All were excellent! Very good italian restaurant, wonderful pasta. A must visit!

I was skeptical coming in reading all the reviews. We were a party of 8 and sat in the side room which was perfect because it wasn't too loud and we could converse with each other easily. Our server was great but unfortunately I didn't catch his name. Anthony came to check on us at the end of the meal and he was a hoot giving us the restaurant's history. We started with some drinks and appetizers which I didn't get pictures of because I dug right in. There was a charcuterie board, baked clams, and calamari. Everything was delicious. I dunked my bread in the remaining clam sauce. I ordered the snapper francese and my girlfriends got the shrimp francese special. All were perfect with not too much lemon in the sauce. I wasn't a fan of the Pomodoro sauce and the ziti was overcooked in my side dish. My boyfriend got the rigatoni Bolognese which he enjoyed very much. Others enjoyed the linguini with clams and the veal chop special looked amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a sampler plate of desserts which were a big let down. They tasted like they had been frozen before. The capuccino was perfect and ended the evening. On the way out the restarant had emptied and we could smell the musty odor people have complained about in other reviews in the main dining area. All in all it was a wonderful evening.

I would describe the atmosphere as "any Italian movie ever". You know that feeling in any Italian mob movie, where you can only turn to the neighborhood Italian restaurant and ask them for a favor on the day of their daughters wedding? It immediately felt like that. I mean this in a good way, not a, "they'll wack you" if you say something wrong way. Although, they did have a slice of NY Cheesecake that you could kill over. Great service, amazingly cliche atmosphere and even better desserts.By the way, do yourself a favor and get the lobster ravioli. You'll thank me later.

Poor service....server did not know menu. Werent greeted for 15 minutes. Had to get ou r.c ok wn salt.pepper and grated cheese. Never checked back after food delivery. Calimari was extremely rubbery. Red sauce had metallic taste and was exremely unseasoned and bland. Mistakes expected at Olive Garden....not a premium pricepoint restaurant. Overpriced andcpoorly managed..front and back of tbe house.
