At Frankie Gianino's This was my first visit to a Frankie G’s, as my husband calls it. We’re closer to this location, so we chose it for a Sunday lunch, out without our four-year-old.

At first glance, I liked the place. The restaurant was clean and quiet, not real busy by the time we got there, and the decor was nice, almost minimalist. Just enough to enjoy without any decoration overload.

Potato Skins We soon placed our orders but the waitress came back to tell me that she’d told me the wrong kind of cheese that’s in the lasagna. This may be too much information, but I am highly lactose intolerant and can only handle certain kinds of cheeses without pills… pills that I didn’t have. I quickly found out, however, that Frankie G’s was happy to accommodate me, to put whatever kind of cheese I liked into any dish, except the lasagna. But that was okay and I soon enough placed a special order.

Pasta!!! When the food arrived, I almost fainted. There was so much of it!! I think that food to money proportion is about right, but it was most certainly more than either of us could eat, especially after the appetizers (which were awesome, by the way). Seriously, the photo doesn’t show nearly the amount of food there was. I think that we agreed that next time, we would get by just fine with one plate for the three of us! I ate my fill but it hardly looked as if I’d touched my food. We went home with enough food for several snacks and lunches over the next two and a half days.

Over all, I had a great experience and I can’t wait to go back, I’m thinking on a soon-to-come girl’s night out this time!
