I had areservation for my wife's birthday at 8:45pm on Saturday. Our Uber was late, so I called the restaurant to let them I knew we'd be about 20 minutes late. In the reservation, I noted my wife's birthday in the notes and reminded the lady who answered the phone that I'd like them to do something special for my wife. I was told that they would make it happen. We arrived shortly after 9 p.m. Upon arrival at the restaurant, I approached the hostess stand, and a blonde-haired young lady greeted us. Standing next to her, I'd assume was the matre'd or restaurant manager. As I told the young lady my name, he looked up and down the without saying a word or greeting me. He was profiling me and I did not appreciate it. Had it not been my wife's birthday and had her best friend with us, I would have walked out. The hostess walked us over to our table and as we arrived at our table, nothing special was done for my wife's birthday as I had requested twice and was told they would make it happen. 2nd red flag. Our waiter was nice and pleasant, stated to us during his intro that he had only been there a week or two. We ordered our drinks, my wife had ordered a specialty drink, as her best friend, I ordered a Stagg neat. The drinks took a bit of time to get back to us, not a big deal, restaurant wasn't that busy with a few tables open. Our drinks arrived, my wife tried hers and almost spit it out. Her best friend tried it too and almost spit it out as well. They both said it had way too much lemon juice mixture. Very over powering. We sent it back and waiter also stated to us that it didn't taste right and brought another drink, this time it was great. My wife wanted to get a bottle and asked the waiter, he stated to us that he was new and asked for help. He came back with a great recommendation. Not once during the night did manager come check on us. My filet was bland. Our bill over almost $400 and I tipped 20%. Other table next us had a solo bday performance, Don't Profile.

It was amazing the food exquisite ambiance finalize but it's quintessential the saxophone guy is there. His name is terry and he is a dawg.
Beth
Best kept secret, they have wonderful spaghetti and meatballs (just ask! It's not on menu). And the salted caramel brownie, yum!!
Nathan
Smooth jazz with excellent service. The staff was amazing and the food hit the spot. Need to Stop by this cozy Italian spot if you're down town
Tim
Our first time. Food was great I had Lobster Ravioli and my wife had Shrimp Blue Eyes. I'm not a tirimsu fan, but my wife loves it, and said it was the best she has had. Bread was great.
Jeffery
Asa was our server and he did a great job. Food was excellent. Love taking the family here.

The service is outstanding and the food is delicious with large portions. The calamari is fantastic but you will need 3-4 people to eat it. The first time there I ordered the grouper chef special dinner. My mother ordered the mahi chef special. Both were delicious. The cannolis were fantastic with the extra orange zest in the filling. The second time I ate dinner with my husband for our anniversary and I ordered the salmon dish and my husband ordered a veal dish with a reduction sauce. Both dishes were outstanding. For dessert we ordered the tartufo. I had never heard of it and was intrigued. I did not regret it. So very good and highly recommend this dessert covered in dark chocolate with raspberry, pistachio and dark chocolate gelato.

Great lunch spot for reasonable price. Always a nice spot for a late night dinner too. Rigatoni Bolognese is an all-time go to
The atmosphere was wonderfully calming. Music from the era of Sinatra and Dean Martin playing in the background. Our waiter was very pleasant with the appropriate amount of attentiveness. The Fagotinni Sinatra was flavorful and meant to be savored. I will definitely visit again.

Frank & Dino’s is an absolute FAVORITE that we need to visit more often.
There is no way to give them anything other than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for everything — Food, Service and Atmosphere!
Always make a reservation though!
Parking: Really convenient Valet! Pull up, they take your car, text you a receipt and then you text when you’re ready for your car and pay and tip online. Great valet service!

I ordered the chicken piccata, which was overcooked and rubbery in texture. My husband had the chicken parmigiana and his chicken was similarly cooked. The knife skills were lacking as the very thin pieces had raggedy edges to them. There was a scarcity of sauce and the side of linguine was very dry. The bread, however, was delicious and the star of the meal. Vastly overpriced for what you get.
Parking: We parked in the pay lot to the side of the building. Usually this is easy but not when there is a basketball game also being played. Plan ahead/be aware and it should not be a problem.
