Overrated and over-priced. CASH ONLY! Service not very friendly either. The arugula was so large you can barely eat it. And for $17? I've never seen a salad presented this way. We were served our mains in the middle of our appetizers and felt rushed the whole time. Pastas do not include protein and if you ask to add chicken, it's $17.95 extra!!

Great food, the spaghetti limone was the highlight, pasta cooked perfectly al dente and the pasta itself has the perfect thickness that I like. Also the roasted eggplant with black salt and crushed pepper was actually delicious. The place itself is like a grandma kitchen which brings me a lot of fond memories.

Food was delish! Fresh. Pasta melts in your mouth! But above all the service won the day. It was a busy night and there was a mix up with seating. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Kaiya was especially kind. And the management team too even came over to us. THANK YOU, LIL’ FRANKIE’S!
