HomestyleItalian food, rustic and under seasoned but tasty and pastas loaded with cheese. Best part was dessert-flourless choc cake and tiramisu with berry coulis but skip pannacotta
Whatever you do, get the burrata. The spaghetti limone, and the rigatoni were also unbelievable. Even the olives and olive oil for the table are amazing. Come hungry.
Busy, cash only, they'll only seat you when your entire party arrives, and hold your table for 15 minutes max. Order the roasted eggplant; they carve it up at the table.
I love it here! Everything is tasty and fresh. The rigatoni with baby meatballs is awesome as is the margherita pizza. Dishes are perfect for sharing. The Sixpoint Lil' Frankie's pale ale is a winner.
Wow, all the stars! I lived in Italian Switzerland for 4 years and must say, the pasta here was perfection, as was the Panna Cotta (and I'm a total panna cotta snob). I will be back. Like every day.
Cozy vibes, the pizza is fantastic and reasonable, the nutella calzone/focaccia is amazing and they have an unbeatable 3 for 1 brunch drink situation on the weekends.
Oh man. You gotta talk to the owner Frank. Say ‘listen, Frank, I got a little hot date here, you gotta open up the back room for us.’ There’s a private room in the back with a private menu.
Burratapizza was out of this world. It's always lively and packed when I've been around 9:30-10pm. The back gets loud but the bar is perfect for sharing din and drinks. Cocktails are strong 💪
Beyond great pasta and pizzas they're very inventive with their veggie sides: blackened eggplant and portobelloarugula salad are both awesome ways to balance a heavy delicious ragu or gnocchi
Outstanding pizza that oozes simplicity & genius. Burrata starter: ditto. Best tiramisu we ever had; probably the most authentically home-made dessert you can ever eat outside home; must try.
We took advantage of the 3-4-1 (3 for 1 brunch drinks) and also got the steak and eggs and the eggs polpette. Delicious! Will definitely be coming back for pizza too!
Consistently amazing. Spaghetti limone and the margherita pizza are my go tos. Wish their wine list was a bit better but they’ve been switching it up recently which I appreciate!
Wonderful for a birthday party or big group. The salads were garbage but everything else was fire. Mushroom and artichoke definite. Great veggies all around. Goat cheese pizzadipped in red sauce mm
One of the best authentic Italian food I've tried in the city. Be sure to try spaghetti with clams- it's always on the special menu. And the pizza here, amazing!
Cash only but such tasty food! The truffle pizza is insanely delicious. The roasted eggplant appetizer was my absolute favorite and the gnocchi was excellent as well.
First note: Don't ever sit in the back by the kitchen. Second note: The truffle shavings aren't worth the $18. Third note: Do come here, it's an awesome spot, good food, cozy atmosphere.
The rigatoni with ricotta is amazing. The antipasto is great, but very large (too much food as an appetizer for two people, even at the smallest size). Good chianti.
Amazing! Real brick oven pizza and authentic Italian dishes. I had the salame piccante pizza, which was great. I will definitely go back to try the others!
Ask the waiters what is good here, they're eager to make recommendations. We had the tomato and cheeseappetizer that our waiter paired with wine. The grilled eggplant was also awesome!
I felt most of our entrees were eh, including my chicken parm sandwich. Just not as delicious as they look/sound. Same with the pizzas and “mushroompolenta” which was really just eggs Benedict.
My favorite of Frank Prisinzano's E. Villy Italian hotspots - also the only one that serves pizza - you can't go wrong with any za or one of the homemade pastas!
Can't go wrong with the baby meatballs, at dinner or with baked eggs at brunch. Also, the pizza Bianca with mushrooms.. Guaranteed to leave fat and happy.
Try picking 1 or 2 appetizers from their specials menu. They've always turned out to be exceptional. (I've tried the burrata, stracciatella, grilled octopus...)
I love this place! though I'm on my second lambrusco reggiano, but yeah..the staff is super friendly, the food is great and the spirits get you there. what more can you ask???
A sunny Friday evening with 1st ave full of people on the street in this trendy downtown neighborhood. I enjoyed fresh salad (nothing canned) and a sausage pizza. Simply fantastic!
Bring a crew and coat your stomach with very good pizza and spaghetti, without spending too much money. They’ll even let you book a table online for your group of 20. Lil’ Frankies never fails.

Had the b-day here. Deal was really good for all you could eat and drink, love the food, but had to wait 40 mins to get seated. 20+ ppl in middle of the place awkwardly sweating. Beware when reserving
Les pizze sont bonnes mais cependant pas excellentes, et les entrées sont très chères (15$ pour 3 bouts de mozza)... Les serveurs sont très avenants et sympas !
