I wanted to love Frankie's because one of our dinner guests said it was their favorite place. They were smart and ordered the Spaghetti Limone, which was fantastic. Their variety of vegetarian dishes was great, which was appreciated. The fried zucchini was light and delicious, not greasy.
The bread with the meal had the correct texture but no flavor.
We shared a Pizza Funghi and it was good, but not super good.
I put the broccoli we'd ordered on top of my slice to give it a little more flavor. I wished I'd just stuck with the broccoli and the pizza. I bet the Heirloom Tomato salad would be good with the pizza. But why do I need to figure out how to give the food more flavor?
One dinner guest ordered a Rigatoni Polpettine Ragu and he couldn't finish. Not because it was so large, but because the flavor was bad, like a jarred sauce. This guy eats a lot so, I knew right away that he didn't like it. My gnocchi was just so-so, maybe I was expecting too much. I also barely touched it. The server didn't ask if we liked the food, even though none of us finished and two of us barely touched it. They were very busy and the service was good-enough for that kind of place on a Sunday night, but it was clear they didn't care too much.
Weirdly, I ordered grappa and it was $4 more on the check than it was on the menu. I chalked it up to maybe being a different brand, but then they should change the price on the menu.
We shared a Panna Cotta for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed it. With all of the great Italian places to eat in the LES, I'll try another place next time.
