Wonderful food; great atmosphere. The food is authentic Italian, and you can taste the quality ingredients. The wine list is fabulous. Not your average Italian restaurant. This one is really special.

Best Italian in this part of NC! The shrip scampi is to die for! Update 2022- The staff was not competent and and food took forever dropped 2 stars off my 5 star review Update 2025 - Gave them another chance after 3 years. My chicken marsala was delicious. The price has gone up exponentially but the service is much better even though it took them 15 minutes to seat us. The Chicken Ramona Had a very rancid sort of back taste. I think that's from the prosciutto, but I think...

We dined here because of a recommendation from friends and Frankies did not disappoint us! We opted for veal tonight, I had the Scallopini and my wife got the Sorrento. All I can say is AWESOME!!! Their calamari was delicious also. Perfectly cooked with a wonderfully tasting sauce. The wine and coffee were excellent. We didn't have room for dessert but the coffees came with small biscottis that added a beautiful touch. We were served by Justin and Ben who did a great job...
