"Dinner was fantastic. I had the veal chop with the ravioli. it was phenomenal. My husband and son loved their dishes as well. Your homemade balsamic salad dressing is the best I have ever had. I wished you bottled and sold it on your website. I'd buy a case!!! Thanks again for a memorable evening."

"OMG, can you spell HEAVEN? Yesterday was my first time eating at Frankie's. I live on an island in the middle of Raquette Lake. Everything about it was just perfect, the atmosphere, the waitstaff, the warmth of the owner, Frankie and his wife Tina and of course the food. I ordered the Eggplant Rollatini and my 1st mouthful was like a gift from God!! Thank you, thank you. We shall return Frankie!! Loved the way you mingled with your customers and made them feel welcome."

"I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants and Frankies is hands down one of the best. If you are visiting the area and don't dine there you are missing one of the best food experiences you could have anywhere! Do yourself a favor. Eat at Frankies and make sure you try the portobello mushrooms! They are the best!"

"Frankie's is the sparkling gem of the Adirondacks. The food is beyond excellent, and the service is awesome. Repeat customers (and first timers) are treated like family. This restaurant would be at home in any large city. I can't say enough good things about it. My family owns a summer place on Adams Street, and we all love Frankie's. Thank you, Frankie and Tina!!!"
