Frank’s Trattoria

Great pasta. They give you giant bread with your take out order. I was pleasantly full after my meal.

Very good NY style pizza. It has come to replace my all time favorite Adriatic, which sadly (very, very sadly) closed.

Food is great for a small old time pizzeria/​restaurant. Staff is friendly. I highly suggest any of the soups on the menu. The veal parm is awesome and the portions are great. We eat here all the time, great reasonably priced local option.
If you are seeking Il Mulino style Italian food I suggest you don’t order from seamless and especially not from a small time pizzeria, Some reviews of this place are hilarious, only in New York. Get a grip.

The baked clams and the Mussells Marinara were outstanding.
They are a little stingy with spaghetti as a side dish but the food is well above average and definitely worth a try.
We went during a very busy time of the night but were waited on within minutes of being seated.
The apple crumb cheese cake went well with our after meal cappuccino.
The pizzeria is in front and the dining restaurant is in the rear.
The prices are competitive with all the Italian restaurants I’ve gone to in and out of the neighborhood.

Hidden in back of a great puzzaria, this is the one place I can truly say I feel comfortable, well served and eat some great food in a friendly atmosphere with caring staff. From a food standpoint, the lamb chops are the best around as my GF can attest to. I am an Italian food junkie snd think that any of their parmigiano’s are excellent. The house salad is a well thought if opening side, coming with most meals. In addition, their specials are well chosen. End the night with their tartufo dessert and it’s a complete night… and don’t forget their house wines.

Below average and very disappointing lunch. The chicken parmegian was horrible. The salad was sparse and cheap. Overall, a disappointing lunch. The deceased father and mother who founded this restaurant would be appalled at the quality of food being served at their once great Italian restaurant.

Ordered Delivery on Seamless and arrived in 19 minutes. Chicken parm entry (with a hero roll added for free) and the penne vodka with chicken. I must say the pasta was incredible. Each entrée comes with a decent size salad as well. Will def order from them again. Ask for red pepper flakes and parm cheese for the penne vodka.

FIRST they don’t accept the check-​in coupon. The owner herself came and said she doesn’t know anything about the coupon so big BOOOO! for them. That’s why only 2 stars. They should honor their coupons. The location is very clean. It’s a little cramped but quaint. We were served fresh bread it was very soft and yes, fresh! We their version of a Caprice salad which also had sun-​dried tomatoes, very good. The sautéed broccoli and garlic was excellent. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, eh, that was. just OK. The cost didn’t break the bank. Would I return, hmmmm… maybe but not for pizza.

Amazing Italian food! Pizza, classic Italian entrees and very friendly service. Been coming here for 20 years, with my parents after hospital visits.

Had such an awful experience with this place I had to write a review (my very first one!!) Ordered three tiramisus through Seamless and they knowingly sent three completely different kinds of cakes/​pies. When I called to ask what had happened their only excuse was that they were close to closing time and they just sent whatever they had left over! I was just dumbfounded because I had been looking forward to TIRAMISUs specifically and got my hopes up. Had I known they didn’t have tiramisus, I would have cancelled and gone with a different restaurant. The person on the phone told me the only way that they could resolve this issue in any way was for me to make the trip to their restaurant (which I clearly wasn’t going to do at 10:50pm on a Sunday).
Please keep this in mind when considering this restaurant. If my experience is at all representative of their customer service, then you are in for a terrible surprise.

Best restaurant in our neighborhood of Peter Cooper/​Stuyvesant/​Waterside Plaza.
The meatballs are the best.
Specials are always good and creative without being pretentious.
Price is right.
Service is always friendly and fast. The haters saying it isn’t haven’t been coming here for 30 years like we have.

the Best part of this Pizza is Crust ! it is very thin, crunch and savory! The crust doesn’t make me feel guilty after gobbling whole pizza and remind me of Salvatore Cuomo, a legendary pizza restaurant in Tokyo

Wow, what’s with italian restaurants and pizza? Some of these places just can’t get it right! I’m giving this place 2 stars for the relaxed back dining atmosphere.
But the pizza is the «oh so thin new york pizza»
… Do you know why it’s so thin, because there’s nothing on it!
Hardly any sauce. So little cheese, that the cheese looked red, it’s white cheese folks! And of course the obligatory few pieces of pepperoni portioned out like they were running out!
And oh yeah, Weak Light and THIN on Flavor …
skip this place for pizza, and you’ll be happy you did.

Went with a few friends who were raving about it. The food I had was okay and we ordered sangria and that was good. I don’t normally love Italian food but I feel like I could have made the food and liked it more. I didn’t think it was as good as others thought but that could be just how I felt.

I ordered delivery from here for the first time last week. The food was so good.
From the friendliness of the woman who took my order to the quick delivery, everything was great!
I ordered tortellini alfredo with garlic cheese bread. It came with a free salad and extra bread.
I will definitely order from here again.

This place has the best pizza, ever. I used to be loyal to Pie by the Pound (huge fan of their cookies) but I gave up the amazing cookies at Pie for Frank’s pizza. Fast delivery, ALWAYS correct and they always throw in a little extra ranch for me. If you’re on the fence, just give them a try once and you’ll be hooked. Fair prices, so no loss either way.
Frank, if you’re reading, if you add some homemade chocolate chip cookies to your menu, you would be my favorite person in the world.
(I do eat healthy sometimes.)

Looking from the outside in, it’s just your everyday pizza shop. Don’t be fooled, as you walk in there’s an option to dine in, in the back. The dining area is nothing fancy and very laid back. I dined on a Wednesday night. Lots of older folks and families. They start you off with a warm loaf of bread which you almost can’t go wrong with. For the entrée, I ordered Lobster Raviolis in a pink shrimp bisque sauce. AMAZING dish! It’s enough to fill you up, but not to share. The sauce is thick and had such good flavor. They’re also generous with their lobster and shrimp chunks which is rare to find. I highly recommend Franks! Lots of great traditional Italian dishes on the menu. The only reason this place doesn’t receive 5 stars is because service was a little slow. However, it’s not a big deal because the food was worth the wait and the servers were friendly. I plan on coming back!

WORST SERVICE IN NYC! DO NOT COME HERE!
The service here is abysmal and its probably the worst Ive ever experienced in NYC (and Im a native!) BUT, an hour and a half waiting for your entrée with NO COMMUNICATION is just too long.
Walked into the restaurant with reservations for 6PM for our group of six. We’ve never been to this restaurant but the reviews seemed okay so our friend booked the table. Upon entering, we mention our reservations to the «host», and she immediately starts yelling at us in Spanish. Now Im pretty conversational in Spanish so I understand she is telling us to go to the back (unescorted). Ummm okay, the place isn’t that big… but thats kind of weird. Also, she never asked our name for the reservations. (What if she gave her last table away!?) Oh, Ill also mention the CHAIR blocking the entranceway. We practically had to hurdle our way to our table.
So we all sit down and quickly get menus (the only thing we get quickly!). Within fifteen minutes, we get served two loaves of bread. Great, we’re hungry! We then put in our appetizer and entrees orders. The calamari comes out twenty minutes later. Okay fine, let’s dig in. Oh wait, 4 out of the 6 of us are missing forks and napkins and 2 of us are missing spoons. Wait another five minutes to get those… The calamari was nothing special and the portion was small. We should’ve ordered more but thank god we didn’t because who knows how long that would’ve taken!
An hour goes by and we are all hungry! The waiter hasn’t even checked in with us. My table discusses what to do since we kept seeing TAKE OUT orders go by us. Now I consider myself to be pretty reasonable but no joke, every few minutes, a new take out order would be walked out of the kitchen! I then ask the waiter for more bread as a HINT to check on our food. Another twenty minutes later (1 hour and twenty minutes TOTAL) the second round of bread comes out. My entire table is just grouchy at this point. As soon as the bread hits the table, I tell the waiter that we’ve been waiting close to an hour and a half for our food. He does not say a word and runs straight to the kitchen.
Okay, I work in sales so I understand customer service pretty well but there was ZERO communication. No «sorry», no «sorry, we are short staffed today», no «let me check on that», NOTHING!!! At this point, we really consider leaving but we hold out for ten more minutes and voila! By some miracle of God, our food comes.
We scarf the food down ASAP and get the hell out of there!!! What else could go wrong now? How about, it takes another 20 minutes to get our check??! You cant make this stuff up!
Down with Franks!

I’m a fan of Frank’s for its old school, no-​frillls charm. They have the best pizza pie in the neighborhood. Delivers fresh and hot. Can’t beat the price of $ 10 for a medium, 6 slice pie.
Order a pasta entrée and you get a huge salad and bread. It’s two meals in one.

Today was about the 5^th time that I’ve ordered from Franks. Obviously I keep coming back which means I think the pizza is decent as well as the price. I pay $ 12.50 including tax for a large cheese pizza. I always take my pie to go because the atmosphere at the place is too «meh» for my liking.
I would have given the place 4 stars but I had a bad experience with my pizza today. I took my pizza home as usual and was very surprised when I started eating it. This was the saltiest pizza I’ve ever had in my life. With each bite I felt like my blood pressure was going to sky rocket. I had to drink three cups of water and my tongue still had the taste of salt. I had to brush my teeth and tongue to get the salty taste out. I’m not sure what happened today because this is not usually the case.
BTW, they’re completely unaware of the check-​in free salad coupon so don’t bother because they won’t redeem it.
