Absolutely incredible service and delicious panzos. This family owned restaurant is a gem of a place and the atmosphere this lovely family creates for their customers is above and beyond. Highly recommend the panzos! Will update on their other menu items as I'll definitely be returning!

Food is amazing, tasteful, and always hot. Service is exceptional! Pricing is beyond acceptable and portions sizes are great! One of the best veal sandwiches and pizza ever eaten! Highly recommended if you want quality, authentic Italian food at affordable prices!!!

My second experience at Frankie Panini was unfortunately a far cry from my first. Long story short: We waited 40 minutes for fries. Yes, fries. It took 20 minutes to make veal and eggplant sandwiches, which I could stomach, but another 20 for two sides of fries. The owner said the new kitchen format was to blame and that only one fryer was available at a time and that the lunch rush was tough to handle. Except our order came in before the lunch rush happened, and people who made their orders after us walked away with their sandwiches before we even received an update on ours. Obviously they kept forgetting about our order. They just couldn’t admit it. All the owner offered us were two tiramisu cups that were very small consolation – and not a great take on tiramisu at that. The order at that point should’ve been free. When our order finally came through, I walked away feeling annoyed but having what I thought would be a decent lunch in hand. I was wrong again. I came home to a veal sandwich that had several hairs in it. I plucked out several before giving up. I don’t know what’s going on in that kitchen, but it can’t be good. The only person I’ll give a break to is the lovely girl out front who empathized with us. But I would a need more serious apology to come back.
