    Stromboli

    Nice spot in the back at the bar. Nice setting, good place to watch a game. Stromboli was ok but not made to order.

    We recently stopped into Frank's Levee which is located just above Cossetta's in St Paul on West 7th. You need to actually enter through the inside of Cossetta's. We sat at the bar with some friends that were already there. Service was somewhat slow to get to us but not terrible. I ordered a beer, giardiniera wings, and a Coney Dog. Beer was served in a chilled glass and laced the whole way through, which means the glassware was extremely clean!The wings were pretty solid, decent sized, well cooked, nice and tender. I loved my Coney Dog. This is a great spot to check out before an Event at the Xcel Energy Center! No where as busy as it's downstairs counterpart but equally as good. Service was a little on the slower side getting our tab as well, but again not terrible.

    Given the number of times I have visited Cosetta's, I can't believe I never realized this place existed. It's on the second floor and it's a simple, spacious bar. Lots of light from a big east window, well-appointed design that flows with the rest of the building. I was just there for happy hour so only sampled a Negroni, which was excellent. Cocktails were average price (about 10-11 each) The menu looked like an Italian twist on typical bar fare. I will need to try this place again sometime

    On the 2nd floor of there's a new Italian pub offering the "coldest" beer and focusing on Italian street food. Right away I will admit that their tap beer is actually the coldest I've had without it being frozen. Probably because they had special pint glass coolers shipped in to keep them frosty. Owner Dave Cossetta sat with us for a bit and chatted about his original vision of the place. He crafted Frank's in honor of his grandfather Frank Cossetta as well as the taverns that were frequented in the levee area or what used to be St Paul's Little Italy. Now they have the market and counter service downstairs, fine dining with Louis upstairs, and a great pub atmosphere right in the middle. We tried some great Italian pub grub as well, one of which Dave strongly suggested we sample, and I'm so glad he did! Check it. Panzerrotti ~ fried bread stuffed with fresh mozzarella and san marzano tomatoes. **if you can only order one thing here is should be this. It's the most simple street food on the menu, but possibly the best. The fried dough melts in your mouth and the sweet tomatoes and creamy mozzarella is the perfect combo.** Potato Croquettes ~ breaded and deep fried mashed potato blended with a generous portion of mozzarella w/ sriracha dipping sauce. **not your average potato croquette and has a great cheese pull. Delicious!** They have an impressive selection of wings as well so watch for a great #wingwednesday next week! Make this your next stop when you're in the area and Livin for some great eats and the coldest beer!

    I have been going to Cossettas since I was a child so when I saw that they opened a new resturant inside I knew I had to check it out. Frank's Levee Tavern is located on the 2nd floor of Cossetta's building. This new concept serves up quick Italian American style bar foods. Named after the owner's grandfather this beautiful space with a huge wooden bar imported from Europe gives you a totally different feel then the rest of the building. After a round of drinks and some of their house-made chips and dips I grabbed their Frank's Classico Cheeburger Double Double. They take two patties of their house beef blend and smash them. They get topped with American Cheese, Carmalized Onions, and Nueskes Thick Cut Smoke House Bacon. Served on a Brioche bun with some kosher pickles, and a huge "bucket" of fries. This burger is very tasty and totallly loaded up. While the patties were a little dense for my liking they had a great crust and were well seasoned. The crispy bacon was the perfect finish to this burger! If you're on that side of the river its worth checking out Frank's

    Best burger I have had in years. Porchetta sandwich was also great. Service was surprisingly good for a game night.

    Lovely little place with delicious food and drinks at good prices!…read moreCame here on a Saturday evening with a group of three. We called around 5:30 to see if they'd seat us at 7:15 and they were able to reserve a table for us. I got the daily special which was like a chicken Parmesan but with steak. It wasn't my favorite thing because I was not expecting the steak to be thinly cut and more on the dry side. That could be my bad - I heard steak and was imagining something totally different. But it wasn't still pretty good! The noodle texture was to die for. It was $30. Drinks were delicious too and ranged from $12-$15. The only thing that I didn't love, is that they charge for every little thing. we got the focaccia and asked for olive oil and balsamic. Why was that an extra $2... $1 for olive oil and $1 for balsamic. If we hadn't ordered it, it would have been an $8 large sized muffin of focaccia - which turned into $10. Definitely not worth it. I asked for some extra Parmesan and they charged $2 for pecorino... honestly it just threw off the experience a little. And it came in the tiniest little cup. I understand maybe 50 cents but $2? Especially when we're having five drinks and three entrees between three people, realizing we were paying extra for those items on the check just was not enjoyable. I'd recommend this place to others as a great place for pasta and drinks, but pasta and drinks only. Maybe avoid asking for any thing on the side and I'd skip apps.

They also have a couple specials that change every week so you can always try something new. Today we lucked out with delicious crab cakes!

Definitely a bit more rushed feeling with the 90 minute deadline as per usual (still completely get this but wish it could be a bit more flexible for a larger group), but still adored everything we ate and that's why olio still gets top marks. Things to get: -Focaccia- I always love the focaccia and think it plus the red sauce are worth ordering. -Burnt carrots- The burnt carrots were an unexpected surprise that I would definitely recommend. Fun flavors -Pretty much any pasta: casarecce, paccheri, spaghetti Nero. All so unique and delicious in their own ways. Up to you: -Brussels sprouts-still good, just preferred the carrots -Desserts: I preferred the ice cream to the cake. The cake was a bit too dense for my liking but others in my party liked it.

The raspberry lemondrop doesn't pack a punch alcohol wise but I enjoyed it. Portions are large and definitely easily sharable. There was good lighting at each table to be able to see your dinner companions but dimmer throughout to give a sense of privacy, not sure if that's what they were going for but it was nice. Ample parking since it's in a strip mall. My only critique is that the containers for leftovers are the compostable clamshell containers; great for the environment but for butter and fat heavy foods. The containers absorbed the oils and leaked onto each other and the bag relatively quickly so keep that in mind if you're taking your pasta home without a bag or your car seats may be stained.

Basket of bread comes with the meals. Pizzas are only ok... so just come for the pasta dishes. Daily special dishes are great as well. Happy Hour: very few places offer 3-6p HH 7 days a week. This is one of the rare spots that do! Decent HH menu with $5 house wines. Granted, the house wines are very basic, but their regular wine list has some nice options and are fairly priced. Service: prompt, friendly, overall good experiences with the service. Ambience: it's a cozy, warm vibe with fireplace for cold days. It can be cold if you're seated by the door. Plenty of booths to request when you rsvp. Making reservations is a good idea on weekends. Located in an unassuming strip mall, this is a gem of a find. Would absolutely come back.
