“Overall, I love this place. It's just a bit too noisy for my sensitive ears. Great menu, with excellent selections. My “French Tini” cocktail was wonderful! The only issue with the food was that, across the board, too much sauce on each dish! Excessive amounts of salad dressing, pesto sauce and even too much blue cheese. In this case, all was delicious, just over sauced. Less is sometimes better. If the quality of cooking and ingredients is there (which it definitely was), moderate quantities allow the flavors to shine. Ps, don't skip the excellent rolls and fresh butter that are brought to the table...skip the carbs some other time because Plum Point bakes THE best rolls!!!“
“This is a wonderful local neighborhood restaurant. The food is well prepared and the owner is very attentive. There is a nice cozy feel to the place and it's located in a beautiful seaport village. The menu may be somewhat limited compared to the big places but what they do offer is done well. If you want a nice quite romantic evening out Tate's is the place to go. You won't be disappointed.Dr. D.“
“Great meatball Parmesan sub with homemade taste. So hard to find a great meatball Sammie that doesn't taste like it came out of the freezer. The sleeper of the order was the wings. They were out of sight! We got the well done bbq. Meaty, saucy and delicious. We did takeout. The inside has tables but it's not the greatest ambiance to hang out and eat but ok. Counter service was friendly and efficient.“
“I've eaten her 5-6 times in the last few months and usually get one of the pizzas. The food is quite good and consistent as is the service. The seating can be crowded with adjacent tables so close you shouldn't share your deepest secrets and the bar stools have no backing and nowhere to put your coat in cold weather but you put up with it.Get the Peroni on draft-excellent with the pizza!Parking: During tourist season and almost any weekend parking is tough.Try spring street or one of the hidden public lost between Spring and America's Cup.“
“Food was fantastic, and a very welcoming atmosphere. No free refills on soda (unless our waitress, who was great, just accidentally put it in wrong) which I found a bit strange, especially for the glasses which are very small and filled mostly with ice. Overall great experience, good chunks of lobster in the mac and cheese which is rare. Will be back“
“One of THE BEST Italian restaurants I've ever been to. It's a very intimate setting and the food is delicious! I had the Manicotti al pomadoro and my boyfriend had some farfalle cream dish, which was fantastic as well. We had tiramisu for dessert, and I'll just say we would've ordered 3 if we could eat it all. This is a must try spot!“
“We happened to be in the area. My wife wanted a nice night near a real wood fireplace. We tried to book online reservations but booked all nightWe called and the hostess was awesome and said she could squeeze us in at 8 or they were just opening at 4 pm and if we arrived at opening it would be No problem.We arrived and sat us at our request right by the fireplace. We had the lobster ravioli and chicken parm over angle hair pasta two glasses of wine and a chocolate mousse cheese cake and Teramasu . Our experience with a fantastic waitress Jen C and an authentic Italian meal was amazing. The price was excellent the meal and 25% tip was $132.00We will 100% be backThanks to the staff for a nice romantic night out for my wife and I“
“The food was excellent. Coconut shrimp app, veal parm, chicken parm, and grilled salmon for the three of us. The sauce on the parm dishes was terrific. We shared two desserts of the blueberry and lemon cake and the hazelnut gelato. Service was very good, although a smile was difficult to receive.“
“We had an excellent dinner experience here. The food was great. The main dishes are a bit pricey but the tasting menu was exceptional and an excellent value. We got to try everything we wanted with this option. We didn't leave completely stuffed but comfortably full. The service was great and the atmosphere was fun. They had no issues accommodating our dietary restrictions with the tasting menu which was refreshing. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Newport and I would come back again every time I visit. If you are in Newport, make sure you get reservations here. I look forward to coming back.Dietary restrictions: We had a pescatarian in our party and someone with a shellfish allergy and they had no issues accommodating both of them.“
“We have added Frankie's to our regular Friday night dinner rotation. The food and the service have been outstanding on every visit. Last night I had an Open Table reservation for a high-top and when we walked in the couple in front of us said they had "called" the previous evening to reserve a high-top. It was pretty obvious, there was only 1 high top available and they had not "called". At first, the staff asked if we wanted a regular table, we declined because we liked the bar area better. In a GREAT customer service move, they immediately honored our hightop reservation and had to put our party of 2 at a 6 top, at the expense of a larger party that may come in. On top of all of this, our server was very friendly, understanding, and attentive. Needless to say, this was one of the best handling of a table "mix-up" we have seen and we greatly appreciated it. Thank you again for a FANTASTIC evening!“
