I ate at this restaurant 6 months ago and my fiance and her friend both got severe food poisoning throwing up constantly and severe stomach pain , from shrimp alfredo. In the customer service was awful. I would not recommend this restaurant and this is a common knowledge in this town , where the shrimp alfredo can give you food poisoning at this restaurant. The cook should be fired. read more

Why eat at a chain pizza place when you can get a great tasting pie with all fresh ingredients and a house made crust from a nice family owned place? Even though I ordered take out, the service was very good. Will definitely go back read more

Italy does exist in Mexia, I've been there, food is so delicious!!! MamaMia!! Not to say about service, they're on top of their game. The bread and garlic sauce. Give them a try , it's literally it's little Italy. read more

The food is excellent! Don't expect fast food or fast service. If you have plenty of time to set back and relax then come in and have a great meal. read more

I wanted this to be great food, because we were really hungry. However, the service was a bad experience. We waited almost 15 minutes for our waitress. After taking our drink order it seemed like we were forgotten. Finally our order was taken, and it took another 15 minutes for our side salads. Food came out and it looked great. The poor service ruined it though, so we took it to go. The Stromboli and calzone turned out to be decent, but not outstanding. We will try the place again for pizza, and hope the service is better. read more

The smell of fresh baking bread hits you when you walk in. They feature house made pasta, and a great selection of popular Italian dishes. Surprisingly good food for such a small town. Tried the bruschetta, and pasta dishes. The marinara was legit, as were the rolls they placed on our table. Alfredo with prawns/shrimp looked wonderful. My cheese ravioli were very good. It's not Little Italy or a big city bistro, but it's surprisingly good for this area. Sorry, I didn't take pics :( read more

Great little Italian place! Great waitstaff! Large portions! Great house salad dressing! read more

Garlic bread was amazing and the service was awesome. Pleasant atmosphere cozy seating.just wish they were open on the weekends.

A great small town Italian place. I've tried a couple of different things here and both were extremely flavorful, tasting like the ingredients had been combined and cooked by a master of the craft. The rigatoni arabatia can come either spicy hot or mild. I had the spicy and it was a great mix of heat and tangy goodness. Definitely worth a try if you happen to be in Mexia. read more

I was quite impressed with this place. The calzones are a good 12 "! It's a bit loud AND the beer took a while to come out. Despite that getting our meals were out in short order. The spaghetti with sauce was tasty. And the waitress was prompt. I'd be willing to try other places in Hillsboro. read more

I've eaten here a few times when I have been in Mexia and the experience has always been great. Looks like a family run place and they do it right. Had the best fettuccine Alfredo, with grilled chicken, of my life here. People always try to take good care of their customers. read more

Love the Pizza especially for the price, very reasonable! Staff is always friendly and courteous!

I had the shrimp pasta primavera. It was delicious. It had a creamy white sauce with fettuccine noodles, red bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, squash, and deliciously tender shrimp. Definitely worth a try if you get a chance to try. read more

Who'd a thunk it!?! This is a must stop if you happen to be wondering around the middle of BFE Mexia, Texas. Even if you aren't hungry, stop here and order their food, you won't be disappointed. Their Chicken & Veggies and Chicken and Spinach Lasagna were great! I'll be going back the next time I'm in the area. read more

A large group of us are RVing at Fort Parker State Park for the New Year's Eve week and we needed a place to go out and eat on New Year's Eve. Frankie's sounded good so the eight of us headed into Mexia from Ft. Parker State Park. Frankie's seems to be a local favorite here in Mexia. They were quite busy when we arrived. Our server promptly put tables together for us and took our drink and entree orders. The menu prices were quite reasonable especially for a New Year's Eve. In fact, their normal menu was in effect. The menu has the standard Intalian entrees listed. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan and I ordered the Shrimp Scampi along with a tossed salad.we also order a couple of garlic bread. Even though the restaurant was very busy, our server took very good care of us. My salad was typical, somewhat unremarkable, with a tomato based Italian dressing. The garlic bread appetizers were wonderful, full or garlic and very crispy. Our server also brought several baskets of fresh baked rolls. Yummy! Our entrees arrived fairly quickly and both were very good. My wife really enjoyed her chicken entree and my shrimp scampi was delicious. The portions are very large and could have been split. One person ordered pizza and I got to taste it. It was also really good. Everyone in our party enjoyed their entrees and the experience at Frankie's. If you're in the Mexia area and you want some good solid Italian food, Frankie's is The place to go. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely return again soon. read more

Frankie used to own this wonderful restaurant with the silly (but descriptive) name. Now this amazing place is owned by brother Rafi, who was our chef today. My companion is a world traveler who was stationed in Europe for years and has dined in many of the finest restaurants Italy has to offer. She enjoyed the veal Cremora and proclaimed it arguably the best she's ever had. The chicken piccata was tart, flavorful and boasted a plethora of capers, one of my special weaknesses. We ordered dinner salads (guilt-induced?) The House dressing is a tangy - AMAZING! - tomato basil dressing that is better than any other restaurant dressing you have ever eaten. Of course it's delicious: it's made in house by someone who knows his way around the Italian kitchen. I was torn between the chicken piccata and the eggplant rollentini: eggplant with ricotta and mozzarella, topped with tomato sauce. I've never seen more than one eggplant dish on an Italian menu before. Now that I've experienced Rafi's magic with sauces, I'm sorry I didn't try that. But wait! There's more! One of the listed specials is tilapia Florentine: spinach, mushrooms, garlic with linguini and Alfredo sauce. Free WiFi (ask lovely server Tiffany for the password). I always wonder how such a great restaurant manages to stay open in such a T-tiny Texas town. The fracking boom probably doesn't hurt. They offer a drive through service, and Frankie's Pasta and Pizza has been open for many years. Their prices are 25% below Austin's customary prices for equivalent quality. One mark of their success is that we arrived for lunch at 2:00 PM. We were never the only party in the dining room, and they served at least two drive-through orders while we were here. BOTTOM LINE: This restaurant is worth driving out of your way just to have a single meal here. We will be back. 2 final notes: Rafi is Italian (heard him on the phone). Closed on Mondays. read more

We ordered a Caesar salad and a calzone. Both were horrid. The Salad dressing was out of a bottle and the croutons were store bought. When the calzone came out it was cold. The cheese was not melted and the sausage was ice cold. We sent it back. We waited 30 mins to get it back. It came back cold again. When we mentioned these issues no one cared. Will never be back. Bad service and terrible food. read more

I love the food, and the owners are friendly The ambiance is excellent. You must try Chicken and Spinach Lasagna read more

Good food really love the atmosphere service is always real good. Look forward to going every time I go.

This was our second time eating at Frankie's. Today my husband tried the Hawaiian pizza, and just the small was 12 inches! It was huge and the crust looked hand-tossed; he had a lot left over! I had the Chicken Aristocrat, it was two grilled chicken breasts layered with fried eggplant and noodles. It was very good and a big portion size! The sauce was creamy and thick; I also had leftovers! We were full by the time we left, so no room for dessert, but the Black Forest cheesecake sounded yummy! We'll definitely be back! read more

Had their sampler plate. Fettuccine Alfredo is so good, chicken Parmesan and the lasagna. Their house dressing and homemade rolls are so good. read more

We are ordering #9,10,11 all samplers for 1st timers like us. The bread already gets a 10+... this is good indication that the food would be awesome. Waiting on our orders. So far, excellent service. That's one of the reasons we eat out: SERVICE. Getting good service is sometimes overlooked, we like it! read more

Authentic Italian food and a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly. The wait was a little long but I'm certain it was because they just reopened after a remodel and everybody was trying to get back into the swing of things. We will return! read more

Amazing meatball subs! Great service too. Have not tried a dish we did not like yet.

Why does the manager steal the tip money from employees. I left my waitet $20tip off my card manager onley gave him$10 . I don't support theaves read more

Great food, great service, great prices! On weekdays they always have a couple of lunch special choices (main dish, salad and bread), all for one price. I just love a good bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce and theirs is the best I have ever had! Much better than the big-name chain Italian restaurants that I've been to. Frankie's is my favorite Italian restaurant! read more

Absolutely delicious! Went in on a Sunday and I ordered the daily special, chicken Diablo. Food was absolutely delicious, great portions and even better prices. I was so happy with the experience read more

Best Italian food ever, (even better than big Italian franchise) recommend the Chicken Alfredo, their bread is always fresh. Prices super affordable. read more

To me by far makes me think of Big Joe's Italian pizza in Dallas really authentic really great quality I wish they would take a little bit more preparation and maybe change up the door even on thin crust I noticed sometimes it's just not just right it's close but not right but the atmosphere is great the employees are great drive thru is terrible they can work on that but the food is great and it's a good place to get your money's worth rated as one of the top five in Mexia Texas of all eateries read more

I have been going here since I was a kid. Some of the most authentic Italian food around. I would recommend the Aristocrat! The bread is made fresh and I have never had a bad experience. read more

Got take-out Linguine with Sausage, Peppers, Onions - Fantastic. Great sauce. Very reasonable price.

Delicious local Italian food! We love the pizza, pasta dishes, and if you're going lighter get the chicken and veggies (no pasta). Love it!

We had a long day of hiking, geocaching, and fishing while staying at fort Parker state park. Found Frankie's on yelp and decided to give it a try. Ending with an amazing pasta dinner. We had a little bit of everything...some of our favorites were the lasagna, fettuccine, and the bread! If your in the area it's worth a stop! read more

wow! this was such a pleasant unexpected suprise in little mexia. in such a small town we did not expect such great food. little hole in the wall that offers pasta, pizza, and more! i got the pasta sampler and the sauce was slightly sweet and SO GOOD. complimentary bread was amazing and we were all big fans of the tomato basil dressing. staff was very pleasant to chat with as well read more

I go down to mexia about 20 times a year and this is the only place to eat! If you're driving through, their pizza and subs are always fresh and ready waiting (call in 15 minutes before you get there). The price is ridiculously cheap for food I would expect to get at an Italian restaurant in Dallas! read more

There are so many great things to say about Frankie's. It's in an old Dairy Queen, but don't let that deter you. It's very comfortable and clean inside with booths and tables. They also recently expanded it. It just has the bones of the classic Dairy Queen floor plan. It's kind of funny. The food: the garlic bread that comes out before the meal is fluffy and buttery. Yum. There are always lunch specials that include several different kinds of pasta. Their pastas can be heavy on the sauce so advise them if this is not your thing. But all the pastas I've hadthere are simple and good. The pizza is my favorite though. A small pizza is about the size of a medium at most places, maybe bigger. You can get all kinds of toppings on it. I usually get toppings that aren't even on the list. The crust is great and it heats up well if you take it home. The service is usually good, but they can get overwhelmed at lunch time and this slows things down. You can also call in orders and pick them up through the drive thru window. A trip to Mexia is never complete without a visit to Frankie's :) read more
