Frank and Dino's

A little pricey. Food and service were both really good. Portions are huge. Warm rolls with dipping olive oil and garlic to start are delicious. Free valet parking in front.

Excellent service and Melanie the bar tender is great. The Pork chop with peppers & potatoes and the Veal Marsala were delicious!

Fantastic food and cocktails and Julietta (the singer) is a must see on Wednesdays! She is fiery, sexy and sassy and the woman can SING! A true entertainer! The owner is awesome, checking up on his guests to make sure they are having a great experience! Will be back for sure! (Oh yes, almost forgot...the BEST meatballs I have ever had!)

Food is so fresh and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is the best-always welcoming whether I am with a crowd of friends or by myself. Never feel rushed to eat & leave. The bartenders make the place, so definitely eat at the bar if given a choice.

We have been to Frank and Dino’s twice in the last 30days celebrating a birthday and an anniversary. Our waiter Jean was so attentive and wonderful we requested the second time we went. The food and atmosphere is great for date night or special occasion. I requested a dish that was not on the menu and Jean said no problem. Veal chop on the bone breaded with Marsala sauce. “Unbelievably delicious!!!” We will definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends...

Food is good. Bread is superb. Personal service from staff is excellent. Careful and understanding about Covid. Happy hour -half price on some drinks--starts at 1130 am. Bartenders (Meghan & Bianca) are so accommodating and friendly and professional-totally perfect the experience at Frank & Dino's. I would eat lunch there every day if I could.

Five stars food and ambience
Zero stars for service

I have not been here since they moved from Deerfield many years ago. Everyone loves this place. Finally, I went there with my family for a special occasion. My family members go all the time and love it.

Here is the good: The food was great. They had a live singer, which was nice. It was empty on a Thursday night. Three tables only and a couple at the bar. That's it.

Here is the bad: Service-as bad as I have ever gotten in Boca Raton.

Waited 25 minutes to order. There were 2 other tables. Only received one of two appetizers--had to ask the manager to get the other.

Waited another 30 minutes for our main entrees.

It was my son's birthday and they were kind enough to bring out a cake. Sounds good, right? Well a gentleman from one of the two other tables came over to tell me that it was his birthday and they picked up the cake in Islamorada for his birthday and the waiter brought it to our table by mistake and it was now a gift from him to our table. They took the cake away and the server disappeared for 15 minutes. He finally returned with the cake and we asked if that was their cake and he responded that they make it there.

Another 15 minutes passed and the server was no where to be found. I finally got up and asked the manager for the check.

Almost three hours of horrific service, which the manager was aware, and the manager sat at the corner of the bar and never stepped in.

An off night? Maybe. But management should have been on top of things as nothing went right from beginning to the end.

FOLLOW-UP (12.22.2020)
One of the two owners looked me up, found me, and called me at 6:45 this morning. Like I said, everybody loves this place. As a business owner myself, the owner takes great pride in his restaurant and responsibility for his staff. Based on our conversation, my prior experiences in Deerfield, and my conversation with the owner, I believe that one can expect the top quality service that so many others express and that I had experienced many years ago. Many thanks to Mr. Vaccarezza for taking the time to reach out to me. He did offer to buy me and my family dinner, which I declined. If I do go back, I would be more than happy to pay for the meal and support our local establishments in these difficult times.

UPDATE 4/8/21
I have been back at least 4 times, but only sat at or ate in the bar area. The wait staff was very attentive and the food was very good. Every time it appeared to be very well run and staffed.

This is NOT average Italian food at best (as in another review). I am also from NY and even in NY this would be a high quality meal.

I have been here for lunch twice. This place is great! The vast majority of their clientele comes for dinner instead, so don't be afraid if you see the place empty for lunch. Their service is top of the line! and the food is incredibly delicious! I enjoy it each time! i have to come back for dinner, for sure.

This place is outstanding. Great food and great service. We had the chicken Marsala, sausage and broccoli rabe orecchiette, linguine with white clam sauce and salads. Only issue we had was the wine list did not have the year listed. For a 5 star restaurant you’d think you’d know that before you pay top $$$$ a glass or a bottle.

I received great service from the attentive and friendly employees. The atmosphere was classy and upbeat. The food is delicious, especially the veal parmesan and calamari. They do take walk-ins, but I suggest making a reservation because they stay busy. I highly recommend Frank and Dino's.

Excellent. Even better than the old place. Nice spacious bar. Valet parking available. Plenty of wait staff to take care of you. Food is delicious. Make sure to have the meatballs. The snapper oreganatto was fabulous. Portions are plentiful. Great banana cream pie. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing...the staff was very nice. The place is
Beautiful and the real parm was excellent.
I also enjoyed the tiramisu. The guy they had playing music was excellent too! This was my first time there and I am already looking forward
To returning.

I would describe the atmosphere as "any Italian movie ever". You know that feeling in any Italian mob movie, where you can only turn to the neighborhood Italian restaurant and ask them for a favor on the day of their daughters wedding? It immediately felt like that. I mean this in a good way, not a, "they'll wack you" if you say something wrong way. Although, they did have a slice of NY Cheesecake that you could kill over. Great service, amazingly cliche atmosphere and even better desserts.

By the way, do yourself a favor and get the lobster ravioli. You'll thank me later.

Ambiance was inviting. Decor was clean and well kept. Staff was professional and courteous. The food was very delicious. The veal scallopine was mouth watering. We had a great evening. **COVID safe** masks were worn by all. Tables were clean. Well spaced **

Anthony, Danny, Jesus, Tish, and Beverly are the best. Never have I ever experienced such an amazing dining experience. Anthony always looks so professional working the door. Everyone always asks him if he owns the place. He is so friendly and welcoming. He is an essential asset to the business. Danny manages Frank and Dinos to perfection. He is so classy, smooth and kind. Jesus is a beautiful person inside and out. He is such a hard worker and his customer service skills are phenomenal. Tish is a sweetheart. Always making people laugh and have a good time. Amazing bartender and server. Beverly is such a charmer as well. So smart and beautiful. The food here is to die for. I am obsessed with the veal parmesan and the long peppers 😍😍😍😍 5 stars

Love it. The food is amazing and it's a great ambiance. The staff is fantastic. Live music, friendly , classy, elegant atmosphere. I highly recommend it for a nice out to date, or to have a beautiful romantic dinner.

AMAZING!!! We were doing a Film Shoot in the Area and Carlos really went over the top with our Catered lunch for 25 People!!! It was a recommend from Chuck and ALL of the food was exceptional. The Antipasto was a work of art! Meatballs, Chicken Parm, 3 Different Pastas, Salad and Garlic Bread! When in the area again, can't wait to Dine In! Thank you to ALL!!!!

Always delicious food. Always top notch service. Delicious wines to choose from. Great ambiance. Definitely a lively place to be. Huge bar for happy hour. 100% satisfaction everytime

Very accommodating. A+ Better wine list than average local bars. A Bartender could be more helpful & less evasive. Overall very enjoyable.

The bartenders were very attentive the atmosphere was festive I really enjoyed my experience here my first time here and I loved it can't wait to come back a DJ that's was spinning what seem to be 80s and 90s and a little bit of 70s
