★★★★★ 5.0 Chris C · Mar 2026

Recently re discovered this place after not being in years. My parents used to bring me here as a kid. Now my gf and I have stopped in twice in the last month and have not been disappointed. Food is affordable. Service is great. The chicken parm is my favorite along with the garlic bread. She always gets the pesto pasta and is never upset. Highly recommend

★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Kim · Dec 2025

Local institution since 1984, old style pizza pasta restaurant beloved by locals and tourists alike. Good food, good prices nothing pretentious about this place.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Marah Dinero · Nov 2025

The last two times I’ve gone, only half of the restaurant is being used for seating. Last night the spot where my one year olds booster was, the floor was completely uneven but when i moved him to a spot at the table where it was flat it became a “hazard” for the workers, but they weren’t able to move us anywhere else. Our waitress didn’t write anyone’s order down& ended up giving us the wrong food. We let it go and just tried to enjoy what we got but the food then was terrible and bland. Every dish tasted like it was just bagged frozen food, with no flavor at all. I used to swear up and down by this place & always bring people there but i will never go back now. Idk what happened

If I could give this place 6 stars for atmosphere I would. The vibe is old school and cozy in the best way. Menu highlights include lasagna, manicotti, and cannoli. I drool like Pavlov's dog every time the waitress says "watch out, the plate is really hot" while she delivers a bubbling dish of cheese and tomato sauce. Yum!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Bellum · Feb 2026

Omg—this is hands down the best garlic cheesy bread I’ve ever had 🧄🧀✨ Amazing portions, super fast service, and the cooks are literally making pasta for a crowd while still smiling and saying “have a good night.” That kind of energy matters 🥹 And for some reason… the Coca-Cola here is SO good 🥤?? Like extra crisp, extra refreshing. WOW—that’s a place. Papa Frank’s, you’ve got my heart. I absolutely love it here and will 100% be back 💕🍝
