History
Established in 1993.
Frankie’s is a family restaurant, opened in 1993 by Frank & Rhonda Curtiss & family. You’ll often find Frank in the house on a busy night or lunch, and Rhonda runs lunch shifts. In their absence, you’ll usually find their son Chris & his wife Sandra running the shop. Their other kids work there as well. Prior to Frankie’s, Frank worked in the corporate world of McDonald’s. «I chose to leave because I wanted the freedom of running my own business and McDonald’s was not an environment where I could apply my creative talents. It was great training though and taught me the disciplines needed to run a successful restaurant.» Frank is largely a self-taught cook. He also attended continuing education classes at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. When people ask me why I opened Frankie’s, I explain that I designed a restaurant that I would like to eat at and hoped others would too.” Frank believes fresh, high quality ingredients are essential to producing tasty Italian cuisine.

Business Owner
Frankie’s opened for business in the spring of 1993. The restaurant is owned by Frank, Rhonda Curtiss and family. You’ll usually find Frank in the restaurant on a busy night or during lunch. Their oldest son Chris is the Manager; in Frank and Rhonda’s absence, you’ll usually find him and his wife Sandra around.
Prior to opening Frankie’s, Frank worked in the corporate world of McDonald’s for 22 years, working his way up from cashier to mid-management. «I chose to leave because I wanted the freedom of running my own business and McDonald’s was not an environment where I could truly apply my creative talents. It was a great training ground though and taught me the systems and disciplines needed to run a successful restaurant.»
Frank is largely a self-taught cook, though though he has attended continuing education classes at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. He says «I’m one of those people who love to read cookbooks and cooking magazines for fun and inspiration.
