The artichoke dip and free rolls were good, if oily. But the spaghetti was way overcooked and inedible. Also the lights are inappropriate for a restaurant; so it's dim, but... read more

Frank's has a good selection of pastas and we were able to stay pretty close to our plant-based diet. Good spaghetti, good service and a nice atmosphere.

The best Italian food restaurant ever.The waitresses could have been a little more authentic Italian, … More haha! Other than that I think your best should come to Las Vegas, NV., you would have no trouble filling a restaurant 4 times the size you have here. I would be a regular customer and or help run it.Thank you for the great food. -
in the last week

I grew up in the northeast, the home of Italian food in America, so my personal bar when it comes to … More this type of cuisine is very high. That said, Franks Italian Restaurant gets near the bar, but certainly not over it.The restaurant is clean, the service is good and the food for this area is pretty good.The prices are fair and the portions are are enough to satisfy just about any appetite.My biggest disappointment is they no longer serve pizza. The used to make on of the best pizzas in town but it’s no longer on the menu.
