“I heard about this restaurant on tik tok and decided to take my mom here for Mother's Day! I was expecting to do brunch, however they were doing a strict prix fixe Mother's Day menu, which were more lunch-based options. Although I was disappointed with that—the service, ambiance and food made up for it and exceeded my expectations! The clams and salmon focaccia are to die for! So are the pizza and cocktails! I got the Bianca pizza - DELISH & the amalfi cocktail was chef's kiss! The staff was so attentive and accommodating and I can't wait to go back. Shout out to Michelle for making my first experience so amazing! They also have valet parking as well.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! Food is delicious, service is outstanding, and management is wonderful to work with! The owner, Simon, and management, Lela, were so great in helping me plan a luncheon for a group of 20 family and friends after my son’s baptism yesterday. All of my guests loved the food, service and ambience and plan to return on their own as well! 10 out of 10!“

“Had some guests to Orricos yesterday. Everything was incredible. The staff was great, professional and polite. The food was amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had people compliment a restaurant I brought them too as much as this. Rave reviews only. My local guests will be coming back for more. There’s no greater compliment than that.“

“service is great and the food is excellent and the portions are large. Great restaurant.“

“Just tried the sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a ciabatta roll and it was perfect!“

“OMG some of the BEST Italian food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Calamari so light crispy & tender. The Frutta di mare seafood pasta was perfect fresh fish, al dente pasta & the red sauce, soooo delicious. The wife's chicken fettuccine Alfredo was very tasty made with fresh cream & perfectly grilled chicken. Our waiter & the staff were very accommodating, he blessed us with complimentary deserts that tasted like they came from the finest bakery. Will definitely be visiting again & next time with friends/family & a big appetite ? P.S. drinks were tasty too.“

“Food and Service was outstanding as always. Our waiter Carlos was very accommodating and Joann the owner came to our table several times to make sure all was ok. We will definitely go back,especially for the delicious bracciole.“

“food and service are the very best..many choices...also you can request a change in your order“

“This is the First pizza place we went to in NYC and it did not fail! We wanted authentic and not something super popular but also really good. This could be the best pizza we have ever had. It’s atmosphere is what you think when you think nyc and your not from nyc. The menu is huge and the prices are really fair. Garlic knots were amazing! Pepperoni slices Amazing, thin and deep = Amazing!“

“My favorite Italian restaurant in NYC! Frankie’s is festive and fun, with superlative service and culinary delight. We came here with a large party and opted for the family style menu at $45/person where you choose from a large selection of options. We started with mozzarella di Buffala, calamari and house salad. All fantastic. Then two kind of pasta and the main courses which were chicken parm (maybe the best I’ve ever had) chicken Franchese and steak. Mouth watering! Followed by dessert and coffee. My other favorite spot on Arthur Ave is Tra di Noi, also incredible food, but a quiet little gem where you go for a classy date. Frankie’s is for fun!“

“I Love to shop at the independent vendors of this retail market. All of the vendors offer exceptional quality products & great customer service.“

“The personal are 2nd to none...The quality of the food is perfect.... If you leave hungry there is something wrong with you.....10 out of 10 Andrea is fantastic to deal with....“

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“The food, service and ambiance are unsurpassed.“

“Great food, great service. antipasto and baked clams are the best. Try the alla John“

“Great atmosphere - lots of fun and a bustling fast paced kitchen - attentive staff. Great for large events“

“It’s Like being in your grandmothers kitchen. Attentive service and delicious food. We haven’t been to Arthur Avenue in a while. It was great to sit down and have a home cooked meal and friendly, warm service.“

“I remember going to this pizza shop BEFORE they renovated it and changed the name. I really disliked the pizza..AFTER they renovated and changed their name..their pizza is delicious and creative. They use some type of homemade sauce that brings great flavor to their pizzas and their Zeppoli’s are so good with the sauce they put on their. Really worth it and I’m glad the new owners (if they’re new) took over and made this shop worth coming to. It has turned into my favorite pizza spot“

“My home back in the day. Dominic makes the best cappuccino I ever had.“

“Great place with good and cheap food and drink.Try Karaoke 🎤 on Friday where you can sing what you want. The DJ is good people he delayed his break so I could sing.“

“Joe is man of his words. And forget about the pizza!!! Best pizza in town. He's truly amazing at his craft. Can't recommend him enough. The whole team in there it's amazing. I love supporting local business also, and here you won't regret.
Thanks amazing soul.“

“We just ate there for the first time. My family love pizza. They exceeded our hopes. The cheese stretched so far it was amazing.“

“the food, the service, old music“

“Owner has the biggest heart ever. Not because he just wants good business. But you can genuinely feel his heart. But I already had two altercations with the workers there. I can understand one having a bad day but now when they try to come at you in front of other customers by asking question or trying to get an order in…… the place is small and at times it will be crowded. Customers dont know who order or not. Doesn’t hurt to ask….On top of that coming out their faces for some plates!!!! NOT that serious after we ordered a few pies for a pizza party.“

“A neighborhood institution. Great for dining in with big, delicious portions that will cram your table (try any pasta with the vodka sauce, and the spinach rabbe) and fill your belly. Amazing pizza every time (go for the white pie with your favorite topping or the meat lovers if you're ready to go to heaven), and great, fast service.“

“All around great place to enjoy phenomenal food with the service to back it up.“
