This was our first time dining at Frankie’s Fellini Cafe, and it is by far the best Italian food we have had from a restaurant. The Sunday sauce and pasta were delicious. There were seven of us and everyone raved about their meals. We all had the Italian wedding soup, and we all loved it. They give you big portions, and there were enough leftovers for dinner the next night! We will be back again soon!

Wonderful food and open and airy dining room. Not fancy but comfortable. We had a large party and all went well. We were surprised to be told the menus in the restaurant (which I believe were the same as online) did not have the correct prices. All prices have been increased. However, the food was so good it was still worth the price. We had a party of 8 and no one failed to LOVE their food. Thank you, Fellini’s for a great dinner!

The food was amazing and the service was excellent, especially given how busy it was. We ate outside so it was quieter than it would’ve been inside the restaurant. 5star recommendation for the Burrata appetizer! We’d definitely visit this place again!

The veal chop was excellent along with the sides. The veal cutlet with sweet and hot peppers ( freshly made) was perfectly done!! We have never had a mad meal . The waitresses and bus boys were on top of everything we needed.. Thank you, Frankie and staff for a delicious dinner Joe and Pennie

The food at Frankie’s was delicious and the young servers friendly. The problem was it took almost one hour to get a simple house salad and another 20 minutes or so to get our entrees. It was explained that they were a man short in the kitchen. It would have been advisable to mention upfront so we weren’t left wondering as the cafe is not that spacious. If all hands are on deck then a definate 5. Understand that these things happen. Again good food and large portions

First time dining here. The Veal piccata was good, with definite lemon flavors. The Gnocchi in Alfredo sauce was also a fine choice. Eggplant Parmigiana as an appetizer was a bit disappointing, with 3 1” thick rounds, swimming In sauce. The Arancini app was also in a pool of sauce. I would pass on it. The Dining Room was very crowded, and all tables were occupied with others waiting. While the food was good, it was difficult for the 2-3 servers to make their rounds as often as one might expect, but made a valiant effort. I would consider going again, but definitely on an off time.

Good thing first: Muscles in red sauce was very good. Toasted baguette on top were not crispy and fresh. Couldn’t dip them in sauce. Entrees were average at best. Meat ball was good. Braciole was inedible. Tough, no seasoning or filling. We were a party of 7, and we seemed rushed from the time we sat down. Small seating area so they wanted to turn our table over, and they made that clear. Dinners all agreed they would not return. Too many other great Italian restaurants in the area.

If you seek large portions of fine traditional (at least here in the US) Italian dishes, this is a great place! The red sauce in which my arancina was swimming was among the tastiest I've ever had. My branzino stuffed with crab imperial was an elegant dish disguised as comfort food, and it served both roles well. My wife's octopus was excellent and came on a huge, delicious salad. And her veal with long hots and sweet red peppers was just right. The cannoli were sooo good, and we went home more than satisfied. Staff and service are also tops.
