"Where do I begin? I'm married to a Sicilian chef, who was born and raised in Sicily. He owned a pizzeria and later an Italian restaurant, so he knows his food! No one makes better Italian food than my husband except my deceased mother-in-law. God rest her soul.How did this place get a 4 star rating? HOW?If you don't know what good food is, then I can understand the high ratings.The bruschetta tasted like hot, chunky salsa on top of garlic bread. Not even close to what bruschetta is or should be!The calamari is frozen. It lacked any flavor! Waste of money. Get in some fresh calamari, bread it with a mixture of Panko, Romano cheese and a bit of salt, then deep fry till golden. It's just that simple!What did you do to that poor eggplant parmesan? Does that soggy mess come in frozen from the food purveyor? I've never witnessed an eggplant destroyed to the point of a wet, wimpy, tasteless pile of mush. No wonder eggplant has such a bad rap in America. Take it off your menu or learn how to peel, slice, flour, egg bath, bread and saute one of nature's most delicious vegetables!Now to the chicken alfredo. Alfredo sauce is simple. Heavy cream, parmesan cheese, a bit of fresh chopped garlic and a touch of flour to thicken. Again, it is that simple.Your sauce was thin and tasteless.The chicken was a pre-cooked, frozen chicken breast that you mercilessly drown in that white, watery sauce! My son ate one bite and was done.Now, the pasta reviews. Don't keep pasta in water before serving. Cook it to a true aldente, rinse under cold water and keep refrigerated. Once you have an order, grab your serving size, stick it in a strainer, submerge in boiling water to bring it up to temp and then plate it. Nobody likes bloated pasta. Yours was as bloated as a body under water for three days. As for your red sauce ..just use a number 10 can. You'll be better off. Any true Italian knows oregano doesn't belong in a red sauce. It's too bitter. It is for pizza sauce.The pizza was so oily. Cheap cheese does that!I should have listened to my husband when he asked, Why are there only 3 cars in the parking lot on a Sunday at 5:30 Listen to your instincts folks."

"I can 't spell out or type how good this pizza is. If you imagine the garlic dipping sauce at Papa John 's this pizza was the best meat lovers which seemed to have that nice garlic flavor built into the pizza. At the same time it wasn 't terribly greasy. Walking in to Frank 's I was welcomed by the lovely smell of garlic. Small place with outside seating but despite the small size a very nice selection of pizza and pastas. It was hard to choose as the aroma filled the place making me want to try everything. Smallest pizza on the.menu is 12 inch, about medium for most places. I went with the meat lovers, because I am 'murican after all, and I wasn 't disappointed. $15 with tax. Waiting made me hungry as the smell didn 't let up. Pizza complete I didn 't want to make the drive home as it smelled amazing. My car filled with the same aroma from Frank 's. Getting home the pizza is a thin crust, perfect presentation. Cheese and meat cooked perfectly with crust nice and crispy yet the middle soft and warm. Perfect. The taste. Wow. Garlic, olive oil, sauce, Italian herbs, cheese, sausage. Everything well balanced. All amazing together. It sounds canned to say best pizza I have ever had so I 'll just say best I have had in a long time. The only disappointment? Why aren 't more people here? Only two tables of people. The quality of this pizza should have a waiting list for ordering. Local places making quality food is what everyone seems to want and yet only two tables and me. Friday at 7, only three. Visit this place, you won 't be disappointed."
