    a slice of pizza
    Isabel S.

    Absolutely amazing pizza!! We had the Sicilian special and were blown away. The flavors, texture all perfect! Highly recommend.

    Beef cheesesteak sub
    Lara W.

    Tried to avoid the usual fast food joints on my trip and siri directed us to Franks. Easy to find, reasonably priced, and the cheesesteak sub with mushrooms was so delicious and absolutely massive. Our server was really friendly and polite. I wish this place was closer to my house! I'll try and stop here again if I'm ever nearby.

    They took a while but happily the 2 cheese slices I had were pretty large. Unfortunately no red pepper on the table & no oregano. A little hard to find the place but worth it. The prices are reasonable.

    Classic pepperoni pizza.

    Frank's was the perfect alternative to the ubiquitous I-81 fast food options on a long day of driving. As dinnertime approached, we decided we didn't want yet another meal of fried-fried-fried. So, we checked our location, found Frank's was not far off the highway, and called ahead to order a pizza so that it would be ready when we arrived. The friendly server didn't even take my name - "Just tell us when you get here that you called ahead and we'll take care of you," she said. It was dark by the time we exited I-81, and we were unfamiliar with the area, so we had our iPhone map queued up. We were pleased to note that Frank's has signs directing travelers to their restaurant - it was easy to find and only a minute or two from the exit. True to her word, our server seated us immediately and brought us our hot, fresh pepperoni pizza and some icy-cold sodas. We ate a few pieces, asked for a box for the rest, and were in and out in about as much time as it would have taken to navigate the drive-thru window of a fast-food chain restaurant or order a gas station sub. The service was friendly and fast, the food exactly what we wanted, and the experience was great. We will remember this place on our next drive on I-81!

    It was fine since there is not much around the area, but I would not go out of my way to eat there again. The pizza was very mediocre.

    My favorite dish of the entire trip was at Ciro's Italian Eatery. We were in the mood for either…read morepasta or pizza, and after a quick look on Yelp, their fettuccine creamy bolognese immediately caught my eye -- I knew that was the one. My husband went with the meat lover's pizza. While he was happy with his pizza, I was absolutely blown away by my pasta. Everything about it was perfect -- from the texture of the pasta to the richness of the sauce. It was incredibly satisfying and easily the best thing I ate all trip. We loved it so much that we came back a second time before heading home and ordered another one to-go for our daughter (yes, it survived the 2-hour drive!). The staff was kind and efficient, and the restaurant itself was clean and well kept. This spot has officially made it to the top of my list for future visits.

Service wasn't bad it just felt like we were a burden to her. It was just a pure off feeling nothing I'd deem harmful but the feeling was there. Calamari was good, overall a 3.5/5. Crispy and soft, not chewy. Breaded Mushrooms were a miss, but could be someone's favorite if you don't mind textures. 3/5 Gnocchi, ravioli, chicken salad were all really good, 4/5 The cheesesteak was meh, meat was too dry. 3/5 The cheesecake was still frozen in the middle but it was shared between 3 of us and it was still a good plain cheesecake 4/5 Son's tiramisu was a 5/5, he really loved it and our waitress was sweet enough to write happy birthday on his plate even though we didn't ask.

    What a lovely and charming restaurant! Dined this evening with my family during our stay in…read moreCharlottesville and everything was really great. We began with very well crafted cocktails and I had the most delightful mocktail, an Unlit Gimlet; so bright and fresh and the pink peppercorn garnish was the perfect counter to the sweet. Food from beginning to end was fabulous. Servings sizes were filling and just right and not overly huge. So enjoyed our pastas from the Bolognese, the Carbonara, the Raucci, and the Primaverili (a perfect bite of spring green). Of the four, our table's favorite was the capellini gamberi Raucci but I wouldn't hesitate to order any of our selections. Sides of roasted fennel with oranges (the best fennel I've had) and the cauliflower were beautifully done. Appetizers enjoyed were the Roman artichokes, bread and olive oil, and olives. We ended the evening with the chèvre cheesecake, affogato and espressos. Service was professional, yet friendly and very welcoming. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

Between us, we did 3 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 desserts and the bill came to about $220 tax and tip included. The restaurant had their main door closed (maybe they always do?) so we entered through a narrow back alley entrance into their bar. Parking is kinda tough. We did arrive a few mins early to our reservation and watched a table of 2 and 4 get seated before us which was a bit frustrating (it seemed like the host knew them and maybe they were given preference). Additionally, despite the reservation saying it was for my partners birthday it was not mentioned while we were being sat or by our server during our meal. Other restaurants in town (particularly Orzo and C&O) are really good about noticing these reservation notes and ensuring they are acknowledged. Both restaurants have also provided complimentary dessert or champagne and so it was a bit of a bummer it seemed to not be noticed at all. The ambiance was also much louder than we expected. Unfortunately we got sat next to 4 very drunk rowdy women which can't be helped but we could hardly hear each other over how loud the room was. The vibe was more of a nice dinner out with friends than romantic intimate dinner we hoped for. The music was upbeat and funky. Not a bad thing just maybe a misfit for what we were hoping for this evening. I haven't been here before so it might have been nicer to be sat in a quieter corner since it was just the two of us (not sure if that would have been possible). Our server Ginger was nice. She did provide a list of special for the evening which we ordered a few of. Food wise, tavola, in my opinion, certainly beats mockingbird or the local which are its two neighboring restaurants I've been to. It's actually not even a close comparison the food is significantly better imo. For starters we had the fried artichoke in aioli. Delicious - 5/5. Only problem was there wasn't more of it! The bread was from alb baking co and was served with olive oil. It was fine. Not the best bread or oil I've had. For drinks we had the alpine air (gin, pear, lemon, rosemary I think) and some pear cocktail (pear simple, Tito's, maybe pear liqueur?). My partner had an espresso martini with dessert. All cocktails were 5/5. Very good. For entrees we had the duck rotini and the pork special with collard greens and potatos au gratin. The rotini duck was interesting. I liked the flavor profile of duck, cocoa (in the pasta), pickled chiles and mushroom. I did feel like the flavor combination was so rich I wish they would have been a little more bold with the cocoa flavor. To be honest, it got lost and was completely overpowered by the mushroom flavor in the sauce. The sauce itself felt more of like a butter and fell a bit flat. The duck was chopped into small pieces and I just felt like the execution of this dish didn't do the ingredients justice. I wish they had done a braised duck breast in maybe a cocoa-orange sauce as I thought the cocoa duck combination was quite smart. I felt like the pasta version of these flavors just fell a bit flat and ended up feeling a bit bland as the mushroom was the only prominent note. Overall, I'd give this a 3/5. Neither of us were wowed by it but I think the flavors are ambitious and interesting. The pork on the other hand was fabulous. The pork was cooked perfectly in what felt like a wine reduction and was incredibly tender, no knife needed. The potatoes au gratin were a tad on the underdone side and had a bit more bite than maybe I expected but the flavor with the caramelized onion on top was fabulous. The collard greens are some of the best I've ever had. I love collard greens and am quite picky and these were amazing. I wanted a whole plate of them. 5/5. We ordered Brussels and pancetta on the side and this was also a 5/5. Very good. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the cheese plate. The tiramisu, frankly, was a 2/5. The lady fingers were totally soaking and the dessert was actually just a wet blob. The texture was just not good. The cheese plate was fine, 3/5. It was served with grilled crostini, cherries and candied walnuts. The cheeses themselves were a soft maybe goat cheese, what felt like pepper jack, and then two hard cheeses similar to Parmesan. None of them were particularly flavorful or compelling. I wish the plate had been served with some sort of jelly or sweet spread to accompany the cheeses as I felt the bread nut cheese combo was a bit too dry. Overall, I would say the main foods we had were very good and I think next time we may try their more traditional italian pastas like the carbonara or the bucatini. Overall I think the food here is very good and we would be back.

About a few minutes after purring our names down, we were told it could be shorter since some parties cancelled their reservation! AMBIANCE We were seated upstairs in a small table in the middle of the dining room. It was a cute candlelit and homey and cozy spot...the booths upstairs seemed to be able to fit 6 or so and it was somewhat loud later in the night due to some nearby folks on their second or third round of drinks. Once seated our waitress served us water and bread which was slightly warmed. We decided to each order a salad and try the pasta dishes but no sides to save room for dessert! FOOD Our salads came pretty quickly and were good portioned for the price in this economy. The spinach salad with goat cheese, beets and the walnut candied crunch were quite tasty and the Caesar was solid too. Nothing amazing but served as fresh appetizer/starters for us. 10-15 minutes later our pasta dishes arrived. The spaghetti bowl was massive and the bolognese was also a huge portion! The meatballs were hefty and well seasoned. While a bit oily for my taste and in leftover form, the bolognese dish was delicious! Loved the house made tagliatelle with the thick handmade bounce texture and beefy tomato sauce. Definitely too much food for us so we got a takeout box and took half home. The tiramisu was well portioned, fluffy and airy and the ladyfingers were not oversoaked and there wasn't as bold of an espresso flavor as I liked but definitely one of the better spots in this area. OVERALL Totally would return for next date night and way better valued than Tavola. Loved the pasta dishes way more here and the tiramisu was at least much more authentic in my opinion. Only taking off a star since our service was definitely way slower than expected after asking for more water and the check. But overall cute and solid through and though.

Our most recent dinner there was slow and inattentive. Dishes were forgotten and did not arrive, and the ones that came were lukewarm at best. No one cleared plates and no one checked on our satisfaction with our meals. Expect an experience that leans heavily on the long time reputation of the place and less on the current quality of the food and service.
