As a rule of thumb anywhere in the world, diners can usually trust a restaurant in which the owner has staked his reputation by putting his name in the name of his restaurant. In this case “Frank” is Frank Crapitto, the former owner and the former owner of “Crapitto’s” Italian restaurant that was on Mid Lane and which is missed by long-time regulars. Crapitto sold Frank’s and the ensuing owners kept the name and the level of quality in food and service that Frank Crapitto created. The restaurant is ideal for corporate dining or couples dining, and features an intimate and intriguing oval bar, with dim lighting overall which adds to the feeling of intimacy. Frank’s has a ‘steak house feel’ but offers a wide variety of traditional America dishes, as suggested in the restaurant’s name.
