Frankies Italian Chophouse

Love Happy Hour at Frankie's. The atmosphere is so romantic with live music some nights. Great wines and full bar plus delicious apps. Married to an Italian, we are both picky with the sugo (sauce) and theirs is perfect!!

Really wanted to love it the second time as we went when they recently opened the first time .The service was meh, as last time. Not sure why because they were not super busy. The steak was CHAR CHAR . Some people love it , I'm not that person. Same ambiance happy it seems they installed some sound barriers or acoustics because we could hear the whole table. Really wanted to love but a little left to be desired.

Food and ambiance great / best Dirty Martini ever! Highly recommend this spot in St Pete.

I've been meaning to try this place for some time now. Came here with friends on a Thursday night around 8pm. We had actually made reservations for 8:30 and were expecting to just have some drinks at the bar but the hostess sat us right away. There were only about 5 other tables occupied. It was quite slow which I thought would've been a good thing in terms of the speed of service. Not the case. It took forever to get drinks, to get the check and then to run the credit card. Our particular server was friendly but perhaps not cut out for being a server.Started off with the carpaccio and bread service. The dipping sauce for the bread is by far the star of this show. My understanding is that it's one of the staples that connect this place to Cafe Cibo. I can see why. It's amazing! They really ought to jar it up and sell it. I'd likely buy a whole case of it. I went with the pork chop for the main and it was ordered at medium temperature. It was way over charred and black (see picture). Although still quite most and flavorful it wasn't prepared correctly at all. The sides were good.In summary the service was slow, the food wasn't prepared correctly, and the service was far too slow on a non busy night. I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I'll be back any time soon. There are far better valued places in the area. It was a regrettable $300 dinner but c'est la vie.

We get in and it has a very nice Italian restaurant vibe. When we get seated I order a Filet Minon (8 Oz for $48) with a few apptizers and sides. The calamari was ok, and the anti-pasta and the Mac and Cheese were quite good. When I get the steak it is very poorly presented, and when I took my first bite, I was severely disappointed. I had steak from Longhorn Steakhouse two days ago and that was a bigger portion, same cut, better price, and tasted a lot better. Although the server was very nice, mine and the other parties food was quite underwhelming, and this leads to us most likely not being back.

I wanted to like Frankie's so bad. Alas, I found it quite mid. Bland, under seasoned. Nothing to write home to mom about. After three visits, maybe this just isn't my place. It is for someone else. Enjoy!

Fantastic space. Stopped by for a quick bite with a girlfriend and had a seat at the bar. Great food. Great service.

As Miami locals, every time we visit St. Petersburg, we make it a point to dine at Frankie's--and it never disappoints. This time, we were a party of five, including my son and his girlfriend, who were visiting for the first time. Marcin, our server, was exceptional. He went above and beyond to explain the menu and made sure we felt well taken care of. His warm and attentive service truly elevated our dining experience. The food, as always, was exquisite, with each dish prepared to perfection. The drinks were equally impressive, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Frankie's continues to set the standard for excellent food and service. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. You won't be disappointed!

We visited Frankie's last evening and it did not disappoint! The drinks, good ambiance and service were outstanding. We started with the stretched mozzarella and it was a presentation beautiful and tasted amazing... melted in your mouth- yum! It was was enough for our table of four. I had the shrimp scampi! The linguine and shrimp were cooked perfectly it was the right combination of butter, lemon and garlic....definitely worth a try. It was a very busy Saturday night and our server Tony was very attentive. I strongly recommend giving Frankie's a try... make a reservation! Overall, we had a wonderful meal and evening with friends!

I was in town visiting some family and we all went to Frankies Chophouse for dinner. nice place with a cool feel and the food was gas. sever was Sam. I remember him from when I used to live here and he worked at bascums. he's was very attentive and helped us through the menu. I would highly recommend eating here. Great food and great service.
