Editorial Review
Golden walls and white paper napkins set the tone at this family spot on Corso Italia. Cozy and pleasantly unhip, at Frank’s, it’s all about the pizza. The menu offers almost 20 options: the Toronto is topped with pepperoni, green peppers and mushrooms; the Pastore with goat cheese, roasted red pepper and Italian sausage. But the simple combination of crust, tomato and mozz is flawless. A buttery dijon dip rescues slightly rubbery pan-fried calamari. Gnocchi della nonna is comfort food at its finest, with homemade dumplings and sausage slices in a simple savoury tomato sauce. Secondi prove less remarkable. Chicken suprême, partnered with vegetables, underperforms. However, creamy tiramisù hits all the right notes and finds its ideal partner in a strong espresso. Many reasonably priced Italian wines. Mains $10–$35.
