Frankie’s Ristorante

I’ve been to Frankie’s many times and I’m never disappointed. They have great food options that can suit many different dietary restrictions. Besides the great food, what draws me in the most is the passion the owner/​chef has for food. If you have a chance to talk to him about menu items his face lights up. You can tell he puts a lot of effort, thought and passion into his dishes and it shows. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Great food, atmosphere, and attention to gluten-​free detail. The bakery (especially the muffin mix) is also awesome!

Wow! It is so nice to find a 100% gluten free restaurant that isn’t wildly overpriced for what you get. A lot of the gluten free restaurants that have been popping up also seem to be vegetarian, vegan or raw which really limits what you can eat. I was so happy to see a gluten-​free menu with cheese and meat also. The menu here is amazing as far as options for someone with celiac. I went for brunch on a Sunday with one other guest. It was really, really quiet which didn’t bother us. I think you probably get the most bang for your buck with the brunch menu.
We split the shareable appetizer which had a great array of items. For my main, I had the pasta carbonara with poached egg. The pancetta and garlic made this dish. It was so good. I am not a big eater but I ate it all. And a side of potatoes. And crème brûlée for dessert. Plus a cappuccino. Definitely will be returning.

It’s great to find a restaurant that does 100% gluten free so perfectly. My friend who is not GF forgot that the food we were eating was GF because the food was so perfectly cooked and was great quality. The price was a little higher then your typical restaurant but the isn’t average quality. We started with the mixed grilled seafood which was fresh and delicious… We wiped the plate clean. For mains we had the pulled pork pizza and the mushroom pasta, both amazing. For dessert we had the butter tarts. Amazing! Definitely big enough for 2 – 4 people. Loved it!!! Service was great! I will be returning for sure.

Had dinner here for the first time. Been driving past it almost once a week for years, only when I read Teresa H’s review prompted me to visit. Décor decent for Uxbridge, linen table cloth and napkins makes it good enough for a date night. Prices are city pricing so expectation were high right from the start.
My wife ordered seafood pasta in a rose sauce, scallops were unfortunately overcooked, shrimps were good however somewhat small and mussels good. The sauce however was excellent, definitely taste the seafood, rich flavor and grafted by someone that knew what they were doing.
I got the pasta Bolognese extra spicy, absolutely perfect no complaints, portion was large and pasta cooked perfectly.
Kids had mac and cheese included drink and sorbet for $ 10.
Dessert Lemon cheesecake with berry sauce — Excellent. Almost forgot we had a starter salad, mixed greens with mushrooms, needed more sauce but overall it was fresh and complimented the pasta well since we asked for everything at once.
$ 110 (tips in) for starter salad, 2 pastas, 2 mac and cheese and dessert is quite pricey for a week night dinner however you pay for what you get and at Frankie’s you get real good food.

Gluten free menu, excellent food quality and flavours.

OK peeps hold da phone… It is very rare that I ever give a 5 rating to any place so… here it is!
OMG. So I was passing through this Town with a friend looking for a spot to grab a bite. Saw this place and parked the car.
This is where the adventure began.
Its on a corner and just looked good. I entered and met a very friendly fellow who I believe was the part owner of this establishment.
We were quickly seated just before lunch hour and given menus. The aroma was Oh la la.
I ended up ordering a Chicken Caesar Panini my friend ordered a Mushroom pasta. I was not allowed to taste the pasta because my friend would not let me!!!
However My Panini was OMG amazing. Like leave this world big «O» amazing.
We had limited time to down our food which sucked but when I have time to take a longer lunch I AM going back to this place.
We were offered dessert and did not have time to have any, however they have a quick take out dessert menu. SO… I bought some Chocolate bites to take home. Needless to say. Ummmmm they didn’t make it home!
This place is super clean (thats my thing love clean) and it is family run. Loved the service. Loved the décor. LOVED the food!!! I could not say anything negative about this place.

You simply have to eat here! My wife and I are regulars at Sunday brunch, and have never left disappointed. You would never know the food is gluten free!!! Dinner is beyond amazing, and with a great Mediterranean feel… Fresh ingredients and high standards make this restaurant a gem not to be missed!

I had the privilege of visting Frankie’s Ristorante during a visit to Newmarket to see friends. Knowing I came with specific dietary requirements, they did a search for restaurants that would meet my needs. Frankie’s came out on top.
The first thing I noticed was how quaint it was. It’s a small restaurant, simply decorated with romantic lighting. It seats maybe 30 at the most (though I didn’t do an actual count), and a live guitarist was playing soft jazz in the corner.
We had made a reservation, so we were seated instantly. Given the niche market that this restaurant caters to (being 100% gluten-​free and all) I recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment, especially if you’re coming from a distance.
The menu is simple but with enough choices to please everyone. It primarily features pasta dishes with a variety of ever-​changing features. They also list the local farms that the ingredients come from, which was a nice touch.
We started with the sampler platter ($ 15) which featured some lightly oiled gluten-​free bread and a variety of dips and spreads. When we ran out of bread, we were able to get another full plate for $ 3. You have no idea how nice it was to go to a restaurant and be able to eat the bread without worrying about a horrible stomach ache the next day.
We all ordered pasta dishes, which were all about $ 22 with the option to add chicken for an additional $ 5. It took awhile for our food to come, but I attribute that to the fact it’s a tiny place with probably only one or two chefs in the back. Not to mention, it’s definitely not an «eat and run» kind of place. Plan for a couple hours when you choose to dine.
Our food came, and looked and smelled fantastic. My boyfriend ordered the pasta and cheese, and it arrived bubbling at the table. He said that the chicken he opted to add was very obvious throughout, which is nice considering the price it cost to add. I enjoyed the spaghetti bolognese and was pleased to find that I couldn’t even tell the spaghetti was gluten-​free. I’ve had so many issues with bad gluten-​free pasta, so it was refreshing to eat something cooked properly.
By the time we were finished, we were all too full for dessert, but I would have loved to try the sticky toffee or the Kahlua crème brûlée.
If you’re looking for a nice, safe on your celiac tummy dinner, Frankie’s is most definitely worth the trip. I personally can’t wait to go back for their Sunday brunch. Gluten-​free Belgian waffles, anyone?

Came here for dinner and got the fish. Ingredients were bought from nearby farms and the food was very fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed the piano playing and liked looking at the local artists work hanging on the walls. A nice friendly atmosphere. Oh and the owner talked to us personally about our food! I enjoyed the experience and will be back!
