Frankie's Sips & Savories

I really enjoyed my experience at Frankie's. I went for happy hour with a few friends and tried out some various apps and drinks. I'm gluten free but there were still options and the staff seemed to have a good handle on what I could order. We tried the tots, deviled eggs, arancini and my favorite, the branzino. Amazing! The vibe? Very cool, homey but hip. Oh and drinks were great too! I had the bourbon bash and it wasn't too sweet with a hint of blackberry. Service was outstanding, I'd definitely return. I'd love to see more options.

Great variety on the menu and perfect sizes for sharing. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is cozy. Great spot nestled here that I am looking forward to returning to and trying more one the menu.

Great little spot with tasty food, unique drinks, and a sweet backstory. The staff was welcoming and attentive; we sat at the bar and spoke to numerous folks behind the bar, making jokes and getting their recs on the menu.The Aseel cocktail was delicious (if you like licorice!), we got a few of those! I recommend a duo of the whipped ricotta and baba ghanoush - the perfect combo of complimentary sweet and savory dips!! The pitas were the perfect consistency of soft but firm enough to dip. We also got the arancini and chicken pita. Everything was flavorful, although I wish the filling of the pita had been better distributed so each bite had variety - the chicken was well seasoned but you had to get through a mound of basic lettuce to enjoy it. The latter options were a bit pricey, especially the pita for what was offered, but all in all I would highly recommend checking this place out for a cocktail and/or bite to eat.

I loved this place!! My first visit and I can't wait to return. The hummus was delicious and they offered to bring us more pita or size cucumber to enjoy it longer. I loved my falafel sandwich. It was a pita that was toasted and stuffed full of delicious goodies. Additionally, they were pickled veggies on the side, which is outstanding if you were trying to enhance your gut microbe. The service was excellent. We were well taken care of by a couple of different people that could have been due to the fact we were early and it was a little slow as far as other diners being in the place. However, I would like to think the service is excellent, no matter how busy the establishment might be. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. It was half price Wednesday for a bottle of wine and we partook bringing the rest of the bottle home. What I liked even more than the good which was fabulous was the ambience. The setting is beautiful with the bar taking up most of the area, but there are tables in the back where you could be seated.I can't wait to return again. This place is definitely on my go to list of places to enjoy yummy food, wonderful service and a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend it

Family owned and just ran so smoothly. It's a cute gem nestled downtown. The best part for me besides the food is the wine selection and Latina Friday. The service is great , everybody is well versed on the menu and pays attention to detail . I've been several times before , not sure why I finally am doing a review. Maybe because I wanted to secretly keep it to myself. Don't leave without trying the Aranci, my favorite by far in the city because it has lamb!

Frankie's is an awesome after work happy hour or date night place! We tried Frankie's before the Taylor Swift concert and the staff was professional and welcoming amongst the chaos.We had the babaganoush, aranchini, and stuffed falafel pita. The pita bread at Frankie's may have been the best pita I've ever had in my life. The presentation of all of the food and quality was perfect. I had a fresh blueberry summer cocktail that had the perfect amount of sweetness. Frankie's atmosphere was a bit confusing-- the food and furniture was chic and modern while some of the decor and the attire of the staff was extremely casual. We had fun anyway and I'd recommend Frankie's to anyone if they are in Cinci.

Oh my God, I love this place so much. The food is amazing. The vibe is amazing. The people are amazing. This is what the city needs. I'm gonna be a frequent customer at this place.

Only came here for drinks on a Thursday at 4 PM but really enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks we had. They have Happy Hour which was great to see, but unfortunately is only on their beer and wine list, not the cocktails. My guest had the How's Your Love Life which was vodka based with fruit puree - the fruit puree made the drink a little sweeter than what we would have liked but it was still an overall great refreshing drink. I had the Spice Up Your Life which was tequila based and had jalapenos in it - this had a nice little kick but I actually wish it was spicier! I would love to come back and try some of the other drinks as well as some of the menu items. The staff was very friendly and I loved how they had multiple sitting areas inside, outside and in their alley way - would love to try them all!

My new favorite spot. What can be better than a swanky setting, good cocktails and finger licking good tapas. I'm always searching for the grown n sexy crowd and this place is exactly what this city needs. The tots, well...I'm still thinking about them the next day (they don't present well but don't let that fool you). The deviled eggs were simple yet tasty. The shrimp with cannoli beans was an odd combination but it was surprisingly tasty. I enjoyed the olives but I never really care for the pit. 2 complaints: we ordered a dirty martini and it was not good (too much vermouth). I would stick to script and just order cocktails from the menu which were good. The other complaint is that the lamb inside the risotto ball was slightly chill. Chef should make sure the lamb is warmed completely, that threw me off. Overall, I love this place and I will be back soon. P.S. They have salsa dancing on Friday nights starting at 10.

Local spot, everything made fresh, in house, excellent service and delicious food. Ambiance was modern and warm. Prices were fair. We left feeling full and satisfied! We had the mezze platter for dinner and didn't finish it all. The ful and Shaka were our favorite. If we lived here, we'd be regulars. Love the family story to the place and the family vibe you get inside (customers talking to each other, servers and bartenders very friendly!). You could tell the locals love this spot, would definitely recommend.
