Finding really good pizza in Tennessee can be a huge challenge. Now when I say really good pizza,…read moreI'm talking about the mom and pop Italian places in Chicago, New York and Miami that pizza lovers go out of their way to patronize. Well I'm happy to report 5 points pizza is very damn close to ringing that bell. Thin crust that isn't soggy or floppy but sturdy and foldable with semolina on the bottom. The sauce has an appropriate level of spice that compliments the pie not sweet or overpowering garlicky. That the toppings are spot on applied generously. Altogether these come into one to make a beautifully delicious pie. I normally get the plain cheese pizza because when you execute at the high level 5 points does, that's all you need! Highly recommend.

The gnocchi was easily one of my favorite pasta dishes I've had the chance to try. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the prosciutto was excellent. The drinks were also very well done and paired nicely with the meal. I really loved the ambiance here.

She gave great recommendations and made the entire experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!

Ordered a variety including the infamous potato one. It was pretty good but as I mentioned, would have loved to try other things other than focaccias and sandwiches so next time I think I will try their dinner service. Ordered the pistachio cannoli as I wanted to really try it out. It was out of this world - the pastry casing was nice and light - and crumbly. Very different to other cannolis out there - really good.

The spaghetti was watery and mushy. Sauce tasted like it came from a can. I had to order bread they brought out fuccata bread that was more than just chard. Over all the meal was forgettable and a disappointment for the price. The dessert was better. The waitress said the cheese cake was made there and was like what you get in NYC all I can say it was tasty but very light and frothy. I think they need a trip to NYC and start again. The cappuccino was almost cold and very bitter. Could have been better. My waitress was very pleasant but kept forgetting to bring out utensils. Spoon for the spaghetti, fork for the dessert. Spoon for the cappuccino. Perhaps it was just an off night. For me I thought for the money it was a a bit of a disappointment.

The Chicago-style thin crust is killer and they have so pizzas to choose from. My personal favorite is the Peppy Boy. If you love curled pepperonis cooked to perfection with a drizzle of hot honey, this is the one for you. Plus, they have the best homemade ranch I've had in Nashville! Service is super quick, and even if you don't sit on the patio, the open garage doors keep the space cool and breezy! Just be sure to time your trip right since it gets super busy, and don't forget to get your garage parking validated down the street!

I have to say, I really do love this place--but it's also full of little inconsistencies, which can…read morebe a bit frustrating when you're a regular. That said, the food keeps us coming back! To be honest, I've only tried the pizza, so I can't speak to the sandwiches. The Caesar salad is really good, and the tater tots are definitely worth ordering. The pizza dips add an extra layer of flavor, although the pizzas themselves are so delicious that they honestly don't need much help. Where I do find some inconsistency is with the wine selection. There have been quite a few times when the bottles we like aren't in stock. The other is the pizza toppings--sometimes the pizzas come loaded with toppings, while other times they're noticeably lighter. Overall, though, the pizza is very good. The atmosphere is casual and easygoing, and the gluten-free pizza is excellent--a huge plus for us. Despite the inconsistencies, we'll definitely keep coming back!

Frankie's -- Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!…read more Frankie's is definitely not a restaurant you want to judge by its cover. Walking in, we honestly didn't have the highest expectations--but our perspective changed very quickly! The service was friendly, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our waitress walked my wife through the cocktail options, while the sommelier offered to take our bottle of wine and chill it in their cellar. Those little touches made a great first impression. And the food? An absolute 10! As our waitress highlighted the menu, I asked if they had bruschetta. They didn't, but she suggested combining two dishes to create our own--and we did! Their Heirloom Tomato Salad was fantastic, especially paired with their olive oil. The flavor was terrific. For our main courses, my wife ordered the Tennessee Corn Ravioli with Crispy Prosciutto, and I had the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Both were absolutely fantastic. Since moving here, we've been looking for our "go-to" Italian restaurant--and we found it! Overall, we couldn't have been happier. The food was a 10/10, and the service and care from our waitress and the management were excellent. We'll be back over and over and over! Our only suggestion: as the sun sets, several tables get hit with direct sunlight. A little shade would make the experience even better and keep guests from getting blinded during dinner. But that's a very small issue compared with how great everything else was. Frankie's is a winner!

The Bianca bread has nice flavor, but ours was rather charred. The meat and cheese plate is a good sampling for 2-3. The seasonal pasta with Tennessee was delicious but overly salty. I wanted the corn to shine a bit more, but the crunchy prosciutto takes over. The cavatelli with spicy sausage is a rich, oily dish with gummy texture. I wouldn't get that dish again. Dessert was a perfect end. The peach cake is not too sweet, while the chocolate tort is rich and happy. Service was great, and the interior is refined, warm, and restrained.
