Frank's was a swing and a miss. In the mood for a couple of slices, I decided to swing by Frank's. It's conveniently located along Belair Road and offers ample free parking. I ordered two slices - one cheese and one pepperoni - which was ready for pickup after a few minutes. Disappointment is an understatement. The outer crust was burnt and crumbled like a saltine cracker. The bottom crust was tough and chewy. And there was zero cheese pull. At this price point, I expected so much more. Frankly speaking, I highly doubt I'll return considering there are other options in the area.

I finally decided to try Frank's Pizza after hearing so much hype. It's a nice, cute family carryout with a few tables if you want to sit and eat. I ordered the small cheesesteak, and even though the initial hype has died down a bit, it's still pretty popular because there was still a bit of a wait after ordering. The sub was a nice size, so I have no complaints about the portion. However, I felt like it was missing something when it came to flavor. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't have that extra seasoning or taste I was expecting. For $18 for a small cheesesteak, I was hoping to be wowed but it was just ok. Overall, it's worth trying if you're curious. I look forward to going back and trying their pizza and other menu items.

As soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted with a "hello" and of plenty pizza/ pasta aromas...not that I could tell them apart. Also, all hot and bubbly cheeses from tĥe oven. You order and pay at the register, they have 3 ways of ordoring...walk in, online, and. Off to the side they have a running log òf In prògress and ready ordeŕs. I was astonished to see our order ready so quicķly. I got the lg cheesèsteak and this was the best one I have ever had. Ŕaw onìons and provolone. The bun was fŕesh and the entire sub was massive!. Hubby went for thè cold cut sùb his all time favorite. It was standard and again, massive. The staff was well prepared in making everything on the menu and remained busy nearly condstantly, so customers never went by the wayside from ordering to receiving. Seating was fairly limited and every bit of space was in use. Free parking in front of the short strip. Check out the bathroom. We will be back for sure. .

First time ordering from Franks. Heard the rave so been wanting to try. So ordered the Italian cold cut, fries and pizza. First I eat out often and gotta say it was one of the best subs I ever had . The flavor was so point on. Every bite was so tasteful. The roll was so fresh omg the Best. The fries again wow. Never had that type of fries very good. The pizza was everyone's rave but I have to say it was ok. I had better but not hateful.

Note the disproportionate amount of meat and cheese to bread-- and this is WITH the addition of pepperoni. This joke was over $20.00!

After seeing all the hype recently I decided to have a go at Franks. Now bear in mind that I am no supreme taster, but I still know when food tastes good and when it doesn't, so bear with me, gentle reader, as we negotiate the twists and turns that make up Frank's Pizza and Pasta. After seeing the TikTok videos extolling the virtues of what many are considering "The Best Cheesesteak in Town" (TT's words-- not mine), I thought perhaps I'd roll down there from White Marsh, since I had business on that side of town today. I had called in my order from the car on the way there so that it would be ready for pickup when I arrived. My order consisted of a 12" Cheesesteak with extra meat ($21.99 + $3.25 for the extra meat bringing the total to $25.24), a 12" Italian Cold Cut, add pepperoni ($18.55 + $2.00 for pepperoni comes to $20.55 for an Italian Cold Cut. Yes, you read that right), and lastly a 16" Cheese pizza ($22.00). I wanted to order a Veal Parm sub, which is my absolute favorite sub, but I was disappointed that currently they do not stock veal, even though it's on all of their menus online and in house. Bummer. I was told by the very sweet counter girl that it would be about 30 minutes. A bit long I thought, but hey, I can wait. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find that it's just an average, nondescript strip plaza type establishment, and fairly worn-down looking to be honest. I don't know why I was expecting more, but I'm open. The parking is tight since there are so many businesses there, and it's not very comfortable to get in straight off a very busy Belair Road, but I managed to do it and find a spot on the lot. My arrival was a Friday early afternoon, so it was only moderately busy inside the restaurant. I waited in my car another 15 minutes since the girl told me it would be 30 minutes to get my order. Right around 30 minutes I went in and having the slightly nagging feeling of being ripped off, I paid for the order. Now, one thing this place does that I really fuckin hate is that the card swiper has that "Would you like to leave a tip?" thing. I don't think I should have to tip for someone handing me a bag. In fact it pisses me off, especially when the cashier girl that will be handing you your bag can see if you do not leave a tip. So, against my better judgement, I left 10% on top of what was already in my opinion a far overpriced meal. I felt abused. But I remind myself that I asked for it, so let's move on.... After being handed my receipt, I was told that my order will be ready soon. There are at least a dozen employees back there, all working in a sort of chaotic confusion. I overhear a lot of "Did you make this?", "Is that ready?", "Huh? What?" etc... Seems to be some language barrier issues also. Bear in mind that 30 minutes plus have passed. I'm seeing pizzas go out that look dry and rather average, not real appetizing. I'm scared. I took a seat and waited. And waited. And waited some more. 55 minutes total have passed, and I am called. Whoopsy. They forgot to make the Italian Cold Cut. 15 more minutes pass, and finally I'm out the door. I immediately inspected the pizza and ate part of a slice. As my instincts had warned, the pizza was just meh. Bland on a good day, with no seasoning and a floppy thin crust that tasted of nothing. In fact, trying to discern any flavor was impossible. At the price charged it was a monstrosity. I thought about how damn good the Domino's Deluxe Pizza was that I had ordered a week ago, At home, the cheesesteak was good-- but not outrageously good, especially for the mind-numbing price of $25.24. I've had cheesesteaks just as good, if not better, for much less (Middle River Pizza I'm talking to you). The real disappointment was yet to come, in the form of the Italian Cold Cut sub. The small proportion of meat and cheese filling to the overly large roll was completely off. Not to mention as soon as I unwrapped it, a coarse, curly black hair made itself known right in the middle of the sub. We were both disgusted and of course the sub was thrown out. A 100% waste of $20.55. See photos (Bear in mind reader, a Wawa 10-inch Classic Italian Cold Cut WITH EXTRA MEAT AND EXTRA CHEESE is only $9.99 and it's so big and full of meat and cheese that you can't even pick it up). So there you have it. Curiosity satisfied. Wallet gouged. Is the cheesesteak good? Sure, Exceptional? No. Worth the price? Never. Will I go back? Probably not, considering you can get as good or better for less elsewhere. And that tipping thing... pisses me off. I don't like feeling ripped off, and I really don't like to eat hair. tl;dr: Franks has a decent cheesesteak but at a premium price. Don't believe the hype, better or equal can be had elsewhere for less. Other foods show poor quality/value. Long wait times, card swipe begs for tipping suggestions for mere cashiers where there is no table service, it is all self-service. Hygiene questions arise with hair found in food.

9" Small Cheese Steak with onions & extra meat
Allen B.

First seeing the restaurant from the outside, it seems like nothing extraordinary, but once you step in you're hit with nothing but great smells & smiles on everyone in the restaurant. I had ordered ahead via Toast, grabbing a cheesesteak on a seeded roll with extra meat, onions and a light spread of mayo--assuming the seeded roll would be very crusty & rigid and need the spread to moisten it a bit. I was wrong! The roll housing the fillings was perfectly soft and able to contain all of the meat juices and cheese throughout the sandwich. I got a 9" small with extra meat assuming that's how they're presented on their social media page, and it's more than enough for one person. I'd recommend NOT getting extra meat unless you're coming with a huge appetite! I've never had a proper cheesesteak in my life until today. Truly deserving of the awards they've received. Will be back whenever in the area as a treat; gotta walk this current one off by the waterfront lol Thank you all at Frank's Pizza & Pasta for a great first experience!

Highest rated pizza in Baltimore according to Dave Portnoy and I believe that is accurate. It is a bit small and nothing fancy but if pizza is what you want this is a great place to get it. Good char, structure, and flavor.

Cheese pizza was okay as I preferred the margarita pizza. The cheesesteak was solid and an excellent choice if you visit this small pizzeria. Depending on your preference of pizza you can like this or just think it's okay.

For sure a contender for best cheesesteak in maryland. They're using the coopers sharp white cheddar and the seeded amaroso style roll. I don't particularly like the big square size that they cut their onions. I personally prefer eatliano in Columbia but franks is certainly a top 3 for me. The pizza was great, good char, medium flop, and solid sauce. Service was good although do expect it to be busy since they've been voted best cheesesteak in bmore.

Keemy U.

I walked in and it was packed with so many people that I wanted to walk out but I stayed on line. The service was not quick and not slow. There are a few seats but you're better off getting your food to go. The veggie pizza was delicious and they sell pizza slices and whole pizzas. The prices are pretty high but kind of worth it. There's not a lot of parking for the customer volume but Popeyes next door has parking. They take cash and card.

Franks, no please, you were the best NJ style pizza in MD and I got some burnt AF pizzas. Disappointed in Lake Evesham

First time!

Mission accomplished! First visit called for their famous cheesesteak subs! Three of us ordered and savored. One of us said they liked real mozzarella cheesesteak subs. Some may like it better than Frank's Cheese Au Jus. I liked it just great, with nearly 20 minutes to wait as most customers wanted cheesesteaks. Funny, considering Portnoy was big on their pizza, which will be me next item to try next visit! Ambiance? Well worn and comfortable. Great to finally get in and enjoy this greatness as the "One Bite" greatness lives on. Try !

I've heard great things about Frank's. We stopped in on a weekday while in the area. It's a small spot in a little plaza. You order at the counter and there is a small amount of seating at the front and at the back of the restaurant if you want to eat in. We went at non-peak time; there was still a bit of a line for takeout and some people eating inside, but the line went quickly and there were awesome staff at the counter and in the dining area to clean tables and make sure orders were taken quickly. We decided to try a small pizza with mushrooms and sausage. It came out hot and fresh. With my first bite, I nodded at my bf with enthusiastic happiness. This pizza is the best I've had since moving to Baltimore, and in the top 5 of pizzas I've had overall. The cheese was good quality and perfectly melty, the sauce was a great ratio on the pizza and had a great flavor, the toppings were generous and good, and the crust was delish. Overall, Frank's is worth the hype I've heard! I've heard their cheesesteaks are great also and saw another customer was eating and can't wait to go back and try that!

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.

Very attentive and made us feel so special. The entire space was so beautiful. Every area had its special touches of yellow and lemons.

We had a ragu dish topped with mushrooms, carbonara, and Kobe beef meatball topped with ricotta and pistachios. For drinks my husband got the Italian guy and I had the limoncello blush. Lastly, they surprised me with desert and a sparkler candle. I was truly impressed. I want to also add that for the quality of the food and the luxurious atmosphere, the prices were great for the food and drinks. I cannot wait to return for Brunch.

My friend and I have the same birthday. She made reservations for us to have dinner at Limoncellos…read more I arrived first and was told the entire party had to be there in order to be seated. They did say I could have a seat at the bar while I wait but I opted to wait outside. When my friend arrived we were seated promptly. The restaurant itself is super cute and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. It's dimly lit with beautiful little touches throughout, including "ciao" displayed across the ceiling and a really nice sign in the foyer which makes for a great photo op. For the food we decided to share crispy Brussel sprouts and shrimp bruschetta as an appetizer. Then for my main entree I got Pappardelle Genovese which was pappardelle pasta, caramelized onion- braised beef ragú, Gorgonzola cream drizzle, Parmigiano Reggiano and then I got creme brûlée for dessert. For my drink I went with a Shirley temple. The food was super delish. I especially enjoyed the shrimp bruschetta and my pasta dish. They were not stingy with the meat at all. The server added sparklers to our dessert which was a nice touch and wished us a happy birthday. However, because we orders two desserts he informed us that he could only comp one of them as a bday dessert. We weren't expecting either to be comped so that was nice. I think the pricing was decent, two non alcoholic drinks, three appetizers, two entrees and a dessert for $130 (as of 2026). Something worth mentioning is that sending a dish back may not result in the food being comped. My friend had also ordered the polenta al funghi but didn't like the aftertaste. She told the server who said he would get the manager. The manager said the dishes are made to order and the owners don't want food being comped (I'm summarizing). Mind you no one said anything about taking it off the check. It wasn't a big deal but interesting that no resolution was offered . Like she could've suggested to replace with something else. She basically just said she's not taking it off the check and that's it. Didn't ruin the experience for me but worth mentioning in case you're the type to send things back to the kitchen. Overall, good experience and I would return.

It's one of the most beautiful spots in Little Italy, which is saying something. They use a lot of mirrors, which makes the space feel enormous, and based on ambiance alone, it would make a fantastic date spot. I ordered a flight of bruschetta, the meatballs, a tagliere of meats and cheeses, and the Culurgiones, an herb-forward stuffed pasta. The bruschettas tasted good, but they were soggy. It felt like either the bread hadn't been toasted enough or they had sat assembled for too long. Bruschetta should have some crunch and structure; these didn't. The tagliere was fine, but a little boring. More disappointing, the meats had that industrial, processed taste I associate with inexpensive domestic deli meats from the grocery store. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing on the board made me want another bite, either. The meatballs were okay, and I'd probably order them again, but I've had much better elsewhere in Little Italy. Up to that point, the meal had mostly been a collection of "fine." Where La Tavola really lost me, though, was the Culurgiones. These are supposed to be stuffed with a potato mixture rife with saffron, pennyroyal, and other herbs. What I got tasted like pasta stuffed with mashed potatoes from a box. They were incredibly bland. Every so often I'd catch a hint of mint, but if there was saffron in there, I'd be shocked, especially since the filling remained almost completely pale, and saffron generally isn't shy about announcing itself with some colour. I ate one or two and called it quits. Biting into pasta and getting a mouthful of dry instant-potato flavour just wasn't my vibe. Maybe I ordered wrong, and there may be dishes here that shine. The room certainly does. But based on what I had, this one just didn't hit for me.

The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

There's a bar inside this room which adds to the Italian decor. First time here, I don't know the restaurants portion sizes. Is it family style where one plate can feed a small army? The portion size was perfect. I ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the Scampi & Crab sauce was something unique to Baltimore. It's Crab & Shrimp simmered in a cognac, garlic & tomato cream sauce. All of this goodness is served over linguine. I love Maryland Crabs and to have them topped in a pasta dish makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this dish. My waiter was very informative, he made some great dinner suggestions but I first had to try the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The next time I come I'm going to order the Lasagna!

I was in town for my birthday weekend and we stopped in to Dalesio's for dinner. The restaurant was…read morefairly empty on a Friday night but we stayed because of the reviews. I can start with the service. We were quickly seated, the sever didn't introduce himself and we asked for straws for our drinks no less than three times before we were finally given straws. We also asked our server if they did anything special for birthdays, as I was in town for my birthday weekend and he blew us off rather quickly instead of engaging. For food we started with an order of garlic bread and we were quickly underwhelmed, it reminded us of Texas toast out of the freezer section and we didn't finish it. I ordered the chicken parmesan that came with broccoli, I'll start by saying the broccoli was the best thing on the plate. The food was rather bland and I felt like I could have made the same meal by grabbing a jar of marinara in the grocery store aisle. I wish I had a better review, I wanted to love this place but in between the food and service I was underwhelmed.

I saw the star ratings for this place compared to other nearby restaurants and that persuaded me to…read morecome here. Did not disappoint! I had a light-ish (volume) yet decadent (finesse) meal of the meatball casserole appetizer followed by tiramisu and espresso martini. Smallish but heavyish. And top end across the board. Can't say I'm an espresso martini aficionado, but this one was the best I've had. Ever. My first trip to Baltimore. I'd come back to town just to eat again at Facci. No joke. Buongiorno.

Good news: Food was amazing! We were greeted promptly and seated quickly…read more What could be better: Long wait to speak with the waitress. Food was very slow to arrive. Waited 20 minutes for bread. She never asked us if we wanted any drinks. After we ordered drinks, we had to remind her twice to bring the sodas. She didn't know the menu at all. Could not answer simple questions. While there may have been a language barrier, we needed to repeat the questions multiple times when trying to understand the menu. We saw another table who had the same waitress leave because they got tired of waiting for her to take their order. They also have these trees that are supposed to add ambiance, but all they do is partially block the view of the giant TV's hanging above the bar.
