How can you not want to try Frankie's Italian Grill? There's a gondola on top of the building. When you walk into Frankie's, you are greeted with Italian music, friendly servers, and Tony Soprano- on the walls that is. It had been a late work night, and I just wanted a pizza and salad to go. It was tempting to just sit and enjoy the ambience.
I ordered a thin crust cheese pizza, and the aromas nearly killed me on the drive to the hotel. Oh my, it smelled like I was back in Italia. I dove right into it as soon as I could- photos almost didn't happen. The crust was super thin and light. The sauce was pure delight- hints of oregano and just blended with tomatoes. The cheese was on the heavy side, but I don't care. I wish that they had thrown in some red pepper because that would have been the sugar on top. Overall, I was VERY happy with my cheese pizza.
The house salad was your normal romaine lettuce with onions. The house salad dressing was a tomato vinagrette- I had horrible flash backs of Joe's in Longview- see the blog. She said it was a thin style salad dressing. It was actually quite good- not the best, but quite good. It had a nice blend of tomato and red wine vinegar.
Overall, I was very happy with Frankie's Italian Grill. I can see myself coming back and eating here again. It will definitely have to be on an evening when I can linger with the locals and drink a little vino! Buon Appetito.
