We got frankie's big green salad, bread and olive oil, zephyr squash with pesto, silver queen corn ravioli with crispy prosciutto and lemon, and linguine with spicy marinara and Alabama blue crab. The salad was ok. It was a little too zesty for me. The bread and oil were just regular bread and olive oil. The zephyr squash with pesto is a cold dish and was really good. The silver queen corn ravioli with crispy prosciutto and lemon was good too. I didn't think the prosciutto was gonna be in small bits but the pasta itself was refreshing. The linguine with spicy marinara and Alabama blue crab was also tasty. It wasn't spicy to me and had a decent amount of blue crab. Generally speaking, Frankie's is light and refreshing - how real Italian food in Italy tastes. Service was also good.

I've been on a foodie tour in Nashville and today was no different. I had a pasta craving and did a quick Google search for a place nearby. Frankie's was an immediate yes based on their website and having two restaurants to choose from. I'd been at a coffee shop getting some work done so I was in yoga pants and a t-shirt. I wondered if I might not meet a dress code by entering 925 Spuntino so I was prepared for having to opt for pizza at their Pizzeria. But no dress code and plenty of seats at the bar meant I could indulge in the pasta of my choice. It's a swanky spot but appeals to the casual dresser. Shout out to the bartender who graciously answered my question about the most popular menu items. I went with the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Oh. My. Gosh! The flavor and temperature were perfect. Not to mention the bartender paired my wine perfectly. The dish looks like a small serving but it's so filling. (Note: I didn't have an appetizer and was too full for dessert.)This will definitely be a place I bring family and friends when they come in town.

Five stars off the food alone. I've never had gnocchi like that before even after spending over a month in Italy. It just melts in your mouth it is so delicious. The caesar salad was incredible. I loved the way the cheese was shredded as opposed to the traditional largely grated chunks of Parmesan. They have an attached pizza place that has patio seating as well as the restaurant. Low lighting and candles at every table, would be a good spot for a date night. Our server was not very attentive despite it being a slow Sunday night but overall good experience because of the food.

Frankie's is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood. The service is so fantastic, the servers remember us from previous visits, the food is INSANELY good (the sausage sage pasta...swooon) and the wine list is also so wonderful. It's beautiful inside with tons of parking, and would be perfect for a casual date night or to bring out of town friends to.

My new favorite pizza joint! And yes, they sell pizza by the slice! Along with a $10 Lunch Special (2 slices & a drink)!Came for lunch and was amazed to find a Frankies 925 Italian Compound on this corner that includes a pizzeria, a sit down restaurant, and a fresh foods market. I visited the Pizzeria. Staff were super nice and helpful. They carefully described the available pizza slices. I opted for 1 Lucia (olives, red onion, garlic) and 1 Frankies Hot (with delicious hot sausage) on the lunch special. I also supplemented with a slice of Pepperoni Sicilian. The 2 items that really stand out (and my mouth is watering as I write this) are:1. The Crust. Both the thin and the Sicilian crusts were delicious and cooked perfectly. They are the crusts pizza lovers like me dream about. 2. The Sauce. So delicious! The Bianco DiNapoli Tomatoes give your mouth that tangy and slightly sweet flavor everybody loves. All 3 slices were fantastic. I'll give the Lucia my nod as the best and that's the one I'd strongly recommend you try. But again, let me say, you will enjoy all of the pizza here. I highly recommend Frankies Pizzeria and I can't wait to go back!

From the moment you walk in, you feel at ease. Delicious smells, music that's not too loud, warm decor, and comfortable seating makes this the perfect place for some innovative and delicious Italian dining. The cocktail was powerful, smoky, and well crafted. The Caesar Salad was as good as I've had. And the Sweet Potato ravioli was light, clean, and flavorful. Lastly, the service was just the right kind of attentive. Can't wait to return.

In our quest to taste every slice in Nashville, we happened upon Frankie's when the pizza craving struck. Upon arrival, we initially walked into Frankie's 925, which was a beautiful space with wonderful service and a tasty menu, however we were after pizza which the menu excluded, so we ended up popping next door and ordering a few slices and salads.While Frankie's is a walk-up/counter based spot, they do have a few tables inside, but the patio is where it is at. They have string lights set up, a water station and several tables. While outside was cool, they could use some music or something out there.Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the pizza! We grabbed a variety of slices including the classic pepperoni, the contentious ham and pineapple, and my favorite, a pepperoni Sicilian slice. And let's not forget about the Caesar salads - while premade, they were surprisingly delicious, and the dressing was undoubtedly the highlight. I will say $14 is a bit much, but not gonna lie, I will order it again.While the pies were phenomenal, what truly sets Frankie's apart is their exceptional service. Despite arriving within an hour of closing, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we left with full bellies. When we went back in to order a slice to go, they tossed a few extra slices in the box, which was pretty cool!Overall, Frankie's Pizza is a gem of a spot that combines delectable food, inviting ambiance, and top-notch service. Whether you're a pizza aficionado or simply craving a solid slice, Frankie's has you covered. Highly recommended!

Frankie's, nestled in edge of East Nashville, pulls off a solid 7 out of 10 on my scale. Service was a highlight, our waitress was fantastic in every way possible. The heroes of the menu-Burrata that melts in your mouth, fresh bread, and a delectable assortment of meats and cheeses, all an impressive 9 out of 10.Unfortunately , it's not all high marks. The meatballs were a big letdown. Too firm for any self-respecting Italian and poorly seasoned, the red sauce was as bland as a mid-winter tomato. The true letdown was the shrimp scampi. The baby shrimp were a far cry from what you'd expect in a dish that should sing the song of the sea, they were more a frozen whisper of the industrial kind. Paired with spaghetti that had surrendered all al dente aspirations, it's a dish that was not only precooked in spirit but mushy in form. Not the fresh pasta affair one would hope for from Frankie's. On the brighter side, the gnocchi draped in brown butter sage sauce was a comforting save. Hard to mess up when it's simple and done right.Frankie's may be the best of Italian cuisine in Nashville, remember, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Frankie's stands out more for the lack of stiff competition than for its culinary prowess. A good spot, yes, but it leaves you longing for that authentic North East style Italian flavor.

Such a great gem in the little corner of East Nashville. Free parking is a huge benefit. Dined at the restaurant (not pizzeria). Loved the minimalist look of the interior. Service was attentive and friendly. Olio Martini - vodka, added a twist. Came to the table almost at room temp...Needed to be shaken a few more times to get that super cold crisp feel. I added ice. It was goodMozzarella plate - love love loved this! Fresh bread was a great complement Gnocchi - super dense pillows. Sauce was light and flavorful. Chicken Scarpariello - absolutely loved this dish!! The sauce has a good punch. Sausage delicious. Just enough polenta. Will be back to try other dishes. And will need to check out the pizzeria next door.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food at Frankie's! Everything cooked to perfection! The service was fine as had a new server only one month on the job. The ambiance is cool and allows for spacious dining experience.
