Dominic made our lunch date a great experience! The food was incredible, the cocktails were phenomenal (though, admittedly more expensive than I anticipated), and the service was first class. The classic rock playlist didn't match the setting, but it was thankfully quiet enough that it wasn't too off-putting. 9/10 spot!
We chose Frank and Dinos for our Office Christmas party this year, I had heard great things about them over the past couple months. Everything about our experience was amazing, from accommodating a reservation for 20, promptly being seated upon arriving, the Staffs attention to detail, and our needs, our Server Gabriel was amazing, gave amazing recommendations, every dish he described was amazing to hear about, not once did anyone have to request anything as everything was anticipated and taken care of promptly, the young men who assisted him in service were polite, and curious. The Food was amazing , and served quickly. Managment staff were polite and checked on us several times, and having the staff boxing up our leftovers were quick and efficiant. Highly recommend for small or large parties!
We went here to celebrate our engagement in early February. It was absolutely wonderful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My fiancé had called ahead and made some special arrangements and we were greeted at the door with them. The food was FANTASTIC. They gave us free champagne and desert. Also, I have celiac and they had wonderful gluten free options. Best Italian food in Lexington! The atmosphere is upscale and fun.
This place is such a gem. I came here after graduation with my family and friends and they were able to experience several of the finest Kentucky bourbons, as well as the delicious pastas and appetizers we ordered for the table. I highly recommend dining in this fashion. Many of these dishes can be shared and served family style. Previously, I’ve come for dinner with a friend, and order the stuffed salmon. Everything was wonderful. Every time the quality of the food is fabulous! The drinks are tasty, and you can even catch live music here some nights. Such a great time!
Great food ! Service is excellent, Live Music , Celebrating my grandson birthday , dessert, saxophone music with singing Happy Birthday ! Perfection .. This pork chop with potatoes and sausage , perfect pairing with the sauce, roasted garlic ,, it’s amazing combinations it works .. Definitely Try ..
A very nice place with a touch of fine dining style. I went there with a group for lunch. The food and service were both excellent. We really enjoyed it. The ambiance is incredible. I would recommend this place and go there again.
We had the most lovely waiter who had only worked there for three weeks. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend their giant meatball and the veal parmesan.
First time diner. Cuisine was outstanding. John our waiter was superb. Restaurant is elegantly relaxing with a nice complement of wines and cocktails.
I’m a big Frank Sinatra fan and my husband has said how good it is. We finally made it and the service is top shelf. The food was wonderful and the bread is even better. By far some of the best bread at a restaurant you can get.
Loved it. Easy parking, great friendly staff, and of course great food. We had the carpaccio di carne which was perfect. We also shared a caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella and burruta cheese. And my favorite of the evening was the pasta e fagioli , absolutely delicious! For entree I had the Fagottini Sinatra and my husband had the veal chop parmesan. The portions were huge and also very tasty. Just like Grandma would make! For dessert mile high chocolate cake and tartufo. Perfect ending to a perfect meal. Don't forget the port wine and sambuca. We highly recommend Frank and Dino 's. Can't wait to come back and try something else.
