Frankie's has been my FAVORITE restaurant for...

Frankie’s has been my FAVORITE restaurant for as long as I can remember! It has a lot of “safe” Italian food that will please the whole family.

I love their four-cheese pizza (it used to be a regular on the menu, but now I have to specially order it), which includes gorgonzola, provalone, mozzarella, and fresh parmesean—it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had. Their crust is so soft and fresh, and you can taste the wine in the marinara sauce.

Their foccacia is to die for! I love the plain foccacia that comes with basil and fresh garlic on top, with olive oil and vinegar for dipping. This is much tastier a little lower-carb than their breadsticks, which are big on bread and little on toppings/seasonings.

Another guilty favorite is the cheese calazone. The best calazone I’ve ever had! If you really want to be evil, you can replace the marinara dipping sauce with their fresh alfredo sauce (very creamy, very garlicy) at a small premium. It’s to die for.

The only downside is that the restaurant is very small and seems to attract families with kids. Good if you have kids, bad if you are looking for a romantic date. Definitely not recommended for a romantic date on a Friday or Saturday night. It also calls for a very long wait at peak hours.

The staff is friendly and they have very low turnover, so you know they treat their employees well! The restaurant has been owned by Frankie himself, who is known to walk around and ask how everyone’s food is, and is operated by Frankie’s son.

A great, friendly neighborhood Italian restaurant!

A Good Pizza.

Frankie’s is a Great place to eat. It is located near the Redmond Town Center and is an ideal spot for a small family ,or a couple looking for a nice place to eat. The Inside is very nice but small, which can mean delays in seating come dinner hours. The pizza is one of best restaurant pizzas I have had since moving to the Seattle area. The only downside is it is moderately pricey for what you get. But that is totally outweighed by the fact that they have fried raviolis.

What I ate:
  • ****

    I really enjoyed this soup. The only problem I had was that mine was a bit too cheesy and that made it tough to eat without looking a bit ridiculous. Otherwise it’s a solid choice hands down.

  • *****

    These guys are delicious. Whenever I go to Frankie’s it’s a must. The only downside to them is, people might like them too much. Which means you may only end up with a few in the end.

  • *****

    A great pizza topped with tons of meat. If you like all meat pizzas this is for you. It can get unwieldy with so many toppings, but it’s worth it.

  • ***

    This pasta was a letdown. I figured since the pizza is excellent I should try the pasta. Sadly they were not created equally. The sauce just didn’t seem to work for me in this occasion, and for an extra dollar I could of had a pizza that was much better, and was bigger. In the end it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either.

Awesome Soup, Pizza, Appetizers

Their Italian Wedding Soup is AMAZING, as are the fried cheese raviolis (Lots of tasty cheese, not just tasteless mozzarella like some places).

We usually get the “Italian Stallion” to go (after the soup and raviolis, we’re pretty full), and eat it around midnight. Still delicious.

We tried their pasta once, and it wasn’t excellent. Tasteless italian sausage.

VERY HIGH CALORIES, as to be expected from an italian place. ;)

What I ate:
  • *****

    Delicious, lots of meat, with tasty croutons and cheese on top. Very high calorie, could make dinner out of just a cup of this soup.
