   Good (not great) food. Friendly (but absent-minded) service. Overpriced!

   My husband and I had an excellent experience at Frank. This was recommended to me by a friend, and I could not have been happier. It is a tiny space, but we went early before seeing a show so it was not crowded yet. The service was great and the food was amazing! I had the cavatelli with bolognese and it was one of the best red sauces I have had out at any restaurant. My husband had the orrchetti with sausage and broccolini and it was delicious. Both pastas were cooked to perfection. It is cash only, so something to note before going there. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the East Village area of NYC!

   I love this place. Have been coming for years. But the prices are excessive and make it out of reach for a neighborhood joint serving comfort food. $30 for a piece of lasagna! It’s unaffordable.

   Food and service is amazing but you are so close together and it’s very loud.

   Really sad meal. Disappointing. After first learning about frank and lil frankies 10 years ago I was finally in NYC with enough time to try frank. And during truffle season. My wife and I dined in last night. Overall was bad. Seated quickly by a friendly lady from the bar. Then the male waiter was indifferent to us. Not explaining the menu, offering, or being the least bit friendly or welcoming. He was only really friendly one time after I tipped 33 bucks at the end because I didn't feel right tipping what I thought it was worth. Tiny risotto portion. Not a grain of salt in the dish. None on table and no available waiter to ask. So ate tiny portion of the worst tasting risotto as my main course I've ever had. Even with truffle add on at thirty bucks. Ouch. Wife's pasta was pretty good. I had to eat some of it to try and feel full. Drinks were both good. Best part of the meal. I'm sorry folks but don't get your hopes up like we did. The food we selected was marginal. Service uncaring and didn't even ask how we liked it.

    We’ve been going to Frank since it opened in 1998 and still love going there for their delicious pasta dishes! Lots of great memories.
