Lil' Frankie's Grocery offers a charming atmosphere with excellent sandwiches and attentive service. The sandwiches are well-priced and well-portioned, with standout options like the chicken parm and the Ricky, a unique broccoli rabe and sausage sandwich on soft semolina bread. Another must-try is "The Fran," an Italian spin on the classic bacon, egg, and cheese, featuring eggs, crispy guanciale, fontina cheese, and arugula on a ciabatta roll. The quality of ingredients is notable, and the front of house staff and chef are both hospitable and friendly, often going the extra mile for their customers. The deli space upfront is where the sandwiches are made, and there's a large communal table for seating. In the evening, the menu shifts to focus on pizzas, and the narrow space also offers Italian groceries like olive oils, tomato sauces, and pastas. With quick and friendly service, Lil' Frankie's Grocery is a delightful spot for both a daytime sandwich and a late-night pizza slice.
