  My favorite Italian Restaurant in the Ft Smith/Van Buren area! The food is always fresh, authentic, and tasty. Whether dining in or getting it to go, Frank's is a great... read more place to eat! Being Italian, I give Frank's a top 5-star rating!

  On a cross country trip, stopped at Hampton Inn and they recommended this restaurant for dinner.  Truly old school home cooking, no frills, just taste, pleasant surprise for small town... read more America.  The salad lettuce tasted like it was just picked.  If you are on hwy 40 stop by for a good meal.
The 5 stars are relative to part of country and pricing, not comparing to NE where I have had some of the worst Italian meals in neighborhood restaurants at twice the price.

  Forgot to take a picture of the main course. Salad was great, customer service was great. We had visited this restaurant in their old location and I feel the they've... read more changed some things on their menu or how it was prepared. Still tasty. But wasn't as good as I had remembered. We will still return here for a great chicken Alfredo!

  We lived in Italy for 15 years so not authentic pastas for sure but hearty and very edible, tasty. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara which was instead sort of a... read more vodka sauce but with chunks of ham and mushrooms. Tasty but not what I was expecting. The warm garlic bread was very tasty but the sauce for it had too much balsamic and seemed too sweet. My husband had baked Ziti but it wasn't really baked. He did like it though so....all in all it was good but not like a "very good" Italian pasta. Service was excellent.

  Being from NYC and Italian we can say Frank's is a true Italian restaurant! We were staying in town over night and super excited that the number one place to... read more eat was just down the road. Portions are true family Italian size (or for a very hungry person). I would suggest getting items to share. Only downside to the food was the caesar salad which was drenched in dressing. Otherwise food overall had great flavor and you won't leave disappointed.

  Great little gem of an Italian restaurant just off the Interstate.  As good as you'll find in this part of the world.  The pasta sampler was fantastic.  Service was excellent.... read more  Fresh, authentic, and delicious.  I'll stop again next time through.
