Zuppa De Pesce, Chicken Scarpriella, Chopped Baked Clams, Stuffed Pork Chops, Super Chicken Parmigiana.

Frankie Bastone, uncle frank to those who know him best, opened a storefront restaurant in the Bronx in 1969. His family-style meals, made with recipes taught to him by his mother back home in the hills of Calabria Italy, soon made Frankie the toast of the town. As word about Frankie’s cooking continued to spread, the pine restaurant was transformed from the Bronx’s “best kept secret”, to the...

Editorial reviews from the web (3)

"Gigantic portions" are the name of the game at this "doggy bag"–guaranteed Bronx Italian ladling out "loads of red sauce" for fans of "old-time" carbo-loading; "checkered" tablecloths, sports "memorabilia" decor and Yankee sightings are all part of the "colorful" proceedings.

Pork chops stuffed with prosciutto and provolone in wine sauce, topped with melted mozzarella. Parmigiana trio of shrimp, veal, and chicken, penne-accompanied. Haven’t eaten in two weeks? Pregnant with quadruplets? Splendid. Otherwise, call in the posse. Yankees on the walls, red checks on the tables. Classic BX. Wide-ranging menu veers from zuppa di pesce to bianca pizza. All Grandma-approved.

Editorial Review by Marcella Veneziale

Italian restaurant, open since 1970, competes for the Arthur Avenue crowd and serves up gargantuan portions of classic dishes like gnocchi.

We’re in the Bronx to visit my sister and her family. She invited us to this place. We called for reservation but they said it is not needed. The place is a walking distance from my sister’s house but we drove since it was cold...

It really doesn't matter what you order off the menu, it's going to be good. Every meal is so fresh and delivered hot to the table. The portions are ridiculously huge but the prices don't reflect the size of meals you get. Such a great...

It's hard to beat this restaurant for good Italian Food especially when you are four or more. Portion size is large and quality is excellent. We always end up bringing left overs home for lunch the next day. The waiters are cordial and helpful with...
