Real Italian home cooked food the best at the best prices around. Go check it out
The food was good but the place did not make me want toi go back.
Really good food and reasonable price.
Reliably good and fairly priced. A regular stop for me,, both eat in and take-out. Nice people!
Good good and a great price. It's a little off the beaten path. Well worth a stop.
Cool old style pizzeria. Good food, everything under $10. Friendly people
Pretty good for Italian food in VT
Not very good. The service was slow. The food seemed overly processed and bland. It isn't too expensive which is a plus, although there are much better options for the same cost close by. The atmosphere of this restaurant is really wonderful. It is a family owned place and has a lot of charm. This isn't the place for great food or service but if you are looking for a low key meal with a nice setting it is a good option.
Great food. Enjoyed my time there
Great area with good food if you keep your choice simple (no veal!). You can't beat a salad with pasta and meatballs especially now that Boves is closed. The lasagna and stuffed shells are very good. Great prices and friendly staff as well. BONUS: garlic bread comes with each dinner meal!
Food taste like you get it from a can
I love this restaurant. It is very cozy and has a great atmosphere. Large portion size for a decent cost. The garlic bread is to die for. I love the fettuccine alfredo and the fettucini Alfredo with bacon and peas.
Started going to Papa Frank's before they had beer or wine. Good Italian. Never had a pizza.
This is a great, family run, restaurant. Everyone I know loves this place. They have great pizza and I love their pesto pasta with chicken. Make sure you save room for canollis afterwards!
Good chicken parm. Small and cozy. Very affordable and filling.
Good food great prices and friendly staff what more could you want. Daily special's are just $6.50 and served piping hot with garlic bread. Yumm !
Awesome food & great service I would recommend to everyone I know
Service and food was really good. Cannolis are very good.
Fairly priced and always very hot and quick!! Delicious and feels like family.
Great spaghetti and pizza. Perfect family restaurant
Great Italian food.
Best calzones!
Good food at a good price
Papa Frank's is a go to, the staff is always more than happy to make you feel welcome. The menu is a good mix of everything Italian.
Great as usual. Love the sauce
Always ask for light cheese and they over load it with cheese. Yeah that pizza is decent, but a simple request is something they cannot understand. And instead of just dumping the toppings in one location you are suppose to spread it out. Not clumps.
Papa Frank's is always good, friendly staff, good service and great food.
Classic Italian. Very good.
Good Italian food at a great value. Everything I have tried on the menu has been delicious. Great for lunch and great for dinner.
Good food in a small cozy atmosphere but the a/c chilled us to the bone.
Family-run small Cozy Restaurant with delicious and inexpensive pastas, pizzas and Italian dishes
Friendly staff. Sort of just run of the mill italian joint, at least in terms of the food I got. Mozzarella sticks and Alfredo. There are places where I think the Alfredo sauce is extra yummy, this wasn't one of those places. I don't intend to damn this place with faint praise, Google popped up a request for a review, so I'm responding. One thing I didn't like but others might find rather charming is the fact that the whole place is tilted... the floor is completely warped. They initially had me at a table against the wall and the floor immediately starts warping out from the wall's edge so I was sitting at an odd angle. The place wasn't too crowded so I simply moved to another table where I was more tilted downwards. Also the chair, just not very comfortable - one of those sort of weaved-back chairs where the back really doesn't feel comfortable when you lean back into it.
I got the small meatball sub, and it was fine. It said it came with green peppers, onions, and black olives but they were pretty sparse. It tasted decently, I just expected more of the veggies. My girlfriend got the pesto pasta with some broccoli, again it was fine. She thought it could have used more sauce and also the broccoli was an add on, and again it was pretty sparse on the amount. If she didn't get that as an add on it would have been just a big bowl of pasta. I'm not sure if that's how it's listed or not on the menu, as I didn't look at it. Service was good and friendly and we got our food quickly. The ambiance was cool though, everything was clean and had a nice feel to it. Overall it was fine, maybe we'll be back? I don't know, maybe if we're in the area.
We LOVE papa Frank's. Love all their dishes of food and the prices are outstanding for the amount of food we get. Always fresh never had any issues. We just tried their pizza for the first time today and it's the closest to NYC pizza! More reason to constantly order from them!! ❤❤❤
Always excellent
The food there is amazing! Me and a friend shared a pizza and the other had a calzone specially made to have half pepperoni and half no pepperoni. When we were done our food and ready for dessert they had cookies that are pretty large of which they warmed up in the oven for us.
Great food great staff
Great value, great food, not a fancy white table cloth kind of place. Big portions !
Great food at great prices. A little casual, but that's what I prefer. Here for my daughter's graduation dinner.
Haven't been here in 13 years, no change great food for great prices! Will definitely be back!
My favorite Italian home food. Their sauce is amaizing.
This restaurant consistently serves homemade Italian fare inexpensively and with great service. Unfortunately we have moved out of the area but I will remember how much we enjoyed dining at this establishment multiple times during our stay in Vermont. If you are looking for No Frills, extremely large portions, and smiling service look no further than Papa Frank's.
Family style in the best way. Can't go wrong with lasagna with a side of garlic.
I ordered shrimp linguini and chicken. They cooked the Linguini but microwaved the Chicken.disappointed.
This place is quaint and tucked away but it has the friendliest staff and the food is never disappointing.
Service and food have always been excellent! Even when you arrive before closing they don't rush one out the door. Anyone with common sense knows there is at least an hour(s) worth of work to be done after hours so they let you finish you meal.
It was amazing the food was yummy, first time ever getting food from there we took out but still extremely good
Always excellent! Super wait staff as usual
Great food friendly staff
Very good food, outstanding service, both at super reasonable price. Took friend from out of state, his comment....a hidden jem
Good food. Friendly service. Cheap.
Quaint place where the locals go for pizza. They've been there for ever and it shows, but the pizza is great.
Love their white pizza...
This Papa Frank's Italian Restaurant is one of our favorite. Great place with excellent food.
My friends and I love it. You can spend a lot more and not be as satisfied. Highly recommended!
wonderful staff, great prices and food. Best pizza in the area
Good food at a decent price
Papa Frank's is a town fixture for over 40 years, moe is the man! Also my entire family loves gathering there for there ausome food. Wine. It has a special place in my heart. Love the papa franks.
Good food and service
Wow this place is good! New favorite Italian restaurant!
great little spot with friendly management. Can be crowded/tight at times, but that's because it's good food. I have never had to wait to get a seat and never had to wait longer than 20 mins for meals. plus bread!
Awesome food awesome people awesome prices
Foods consistently good. Waitstaff are friendly and food is usually served quickly.
Terrific food. Terrific service. The pizza bread is great! 5 stars.
Awesome place. VERY accommodating & very good. Catering was fast and easy and PLENTY of food. Thanks Moe!
Excellent food in an old, quaint building. The locals are here so that tells me a lot
Awesome family-owned Italian food establishment with great ambiance. I've eaten a lot of Italian restaurants, and this place has the BEST strombolli. It has fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese with a light, crispy outside. Great garlic bread, too. Strongly recommend.
Great food, great prices
Papa Frank's is always good.
The best! Inexpensive but great!!! Wouldn't hesitate to bring a date
Special Homestyle Pasta & more
Good pizza. Classic American Italian. No surprises. Fair prices. Crowded dining room, tables ate tight.
Awsome food ..friendly staff .good prices
Great home cooked italian food. An old building but great prices and friendly service.
Great food at a good price
Horrible place, screwed my kid out of her pay for 2 weeks while she was 'training' as wait staff. She bussed tables, cleaned, delivered meals, rung orders and was told after 2 weeks, that they had no W4 for her or any hours for her. Nice! Screwed a kid working her way through college.
Was not overly impressed with the two times I've been. I've now worked within walking distance for a few years and it's not the highest on my pick of places to eat. PROS: It's nice to see home style recipes held up in full blown tradition. They do have a diverse menu with many options. CONS: The times I went I didn't' feel overly welcome by the staff and one of the times my lasagna was frozen in the center, not what you'd expect from a fresh cooked meal.
We went with a big crew and the place was over whelmed. They opened at 11 and we called to make reservations so they knew we were coming at 5:30 and there were going to be 12 including 2 babies under 2. All of the bread was put into two baskets, we had two orders that were cheese bread and it was all put into one basket and they never told us so we had to order another set because it was all at the other end of the table and eaten by them. I ordered the Alfredo with chicken and broccoli they forgot my broccoli and then brought me out a cup of it, my chicken was dry and there was very little Alfredo. They forgot my sister's salad & ran out of the dressing she wanted so she settled for the house dressing, and she said she has never had a salad that tastes so bad. Our waitress was trying to wait on us and other tables at the same time so we had long periods where we did not see her and need drinks or more napkins, and she was preoccupied with helping so many people that she did not see that we were trying to get her attention. I had to go up to the counter a few times to get stuff that was forgotten, needed, or out. Not the best place we have ever been and most likely will not go again. Picture after I put my own broccoli on.
Good food at great prices. Unpretentious, affordable.
Delicious pizza.
This was hands down the worst Presumed Italian food I've ever eaten.
Catered an event for us last night and did a fabulous job. Food was excellent and the price was perfect. Thank you!
They have the best spaghetti and meatballs for several miles around! It is a tad small, but the food is excellent.
Best restaurant ever. Service cannot be beat. Ask for the frak.
Nice fresh salad and free parking spot for pick up orders
Great Italian food with good prices
Another one of my gems. Don't expect high-end Italian cuisine, but what you can expect is good food, great people and amazing prices. Always check the daily special.
Good pizza. They are light on the toppings: 1-2 thin slices of pepperoni per slice, 1-2 thin slices of green pepper spread over half the pizza. Good sauce, very sweet. Crust was good if a bit flimsy. Staff was nice when I picked up the pie. This was my first visit, as I just moved here.
I would have given 5 stars but the decor is very outdated and this is strictly a pizza place. Just stick to the pizza, it is very good and reasonably priced. I got the pasta and was disappointed, wasn't a lot of flavor in the sauce. Waitress was very friendly!
Love this unpretentious spot with home-style Italian.
Best. Cannolis. Ever.
Chicken was dry, sauce bland.
We love visiting here. The food is fantastic and very easy on the wallet. The service has always been great
Always cozy, friendly, delicious food. Not expensive.
Friendly, homey, good for the price. Mama Rosa is an amazing hostess, an institution unto herself!
Loved it ! Great size portions, friendly staff in old charming environment. Très bien !!!
The food was not as good the last time we went. I have been ordering from here off and on since I was a child ! I will always love this place ! Brings back fond childhood memories.
Not so good. Service was good
Amezing pizza and meat ball spaghetti
Great basic Italian food. Local neighborhood place. You don't have to mortgage the house to eat there!
It's a small but great restaurant. The food is delicious at a more than fair cost. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend coming here!
Great little old- fashioned Italian restaurant! Cozy and comfy, and the food is delicious! They also serve beer and wine, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. Can't go wrong here!
Great service good food good people
Excellent food. BIG portions and friendly staff
Top notch Italian food with very fair pricing!
I just went here tonight with my family. It was incredible! The food was the best Italian food I have ever had! Really what impressed me was the service. Our waitress was the best waitress I think I have ever had. We started talking about working that night and how you could be doing something other then working. She then replied and told us that she loved her job. We really could see that she did. She had the best personality of any waitress or waiter I have ever seen. She is the model for how all waiters and waitresses should be. Thank you for time and I hope she is reading this. Like I said best food and best service! Cheese Ravioli is awesome!
Love the food, the people and the prices.
Their baked ziti is AMAZING! I recommend getting it on a weekend day. Maybe the chef is different during the week, but it seems that it is made with more care on the weekends.
Great food, extremely reasonable price
Amazing food! Doesn't take a while for food to come, even when its busy. Workers are nice, helpful, energetic and hard working! Definitely coming back!! Still the best after all these years!
Great place to meet with long time friends. Reasonable prices and yummy comfort food. A fifth star would be given if the facilities were updated a little better.
Old time italian,very good.☺
Inexpensive, convenient and good portions. If you're looking for upscale, look elsewhere. If you want to join up with some friends to have a filling meal this is a great place.
Awesome pizza, great mozzarella sticks. And a friendly staff
Great service and food!
Wonderful service and food
Great Italian! I only wish it were closer to home so I could eat it everyday! The baked ziti was great. Garlic bread delicious. Spicy pepper pasta wonderful. Lunch or dinner. A winner.
Good food at good prices. Very nice servers.
This is a hidden gem just off the Winooski Circle. Perfect spot for perfectly priced Italian comfort food. The portions are massive and the wine selection, although limited, is a perfect accompaniment. The food here is not all homemade, but comforting and filling. The service makes this place stand out!! On our last visit we were taken care of by a very accommodating server. She helped us pick out menu items to share, got us a bigger table and knew exactly when to stop by the table. So happy to have found my new go to Italian comfort food spot.
Best bang for the buck in town. Great food, funky ambiance, great service.
Decent food, friendly wait staff, recommend the baked ziti
Food was ok. Took a while. Over charged my credit card and tried to Deni it
The reviews is why I went here in the first place. It was the second time while in Vermont, that the reviews have let me down. My wife and I both got the spaghetti with meatballs. I'm originally from and area that the majority of the population is Italian. What we had, was a disgrace to Italians around the world. My wife loves Spumani Ice Cream, so to make up for the poor spaghetti and meatballs which she didn't end up eating more then 3 bites of, we ordered Spumani Ice cream. Now basic Spumani, cherry, pistachio and either chocolate or vanilla. This had chocolate, I think it could have been cherry and mint... Along with vanilla that had cookie dough chunks... I usually dont complain and didnt on this occasion, paid, left and marked as would never come back. As for value for money spent, Mcdonalds would have been a better place to eat. It was a waste of time and money.
Puuuuuuuhleeeeeze!!! The best place in town for well priced Italian. Just go!! P.S. Yankees for life!
Friendly staff, tasty food, served fast. Thanks!
Good place to eat. It's a funky little place with good service
Could have been Billy Joel's inspiration. Really good Italian food.
Very good food, affordable, friendly staff
Just okay. Nice staff. Food was blah
My favorite local restaurant, not fancy but great food at a great price. We moved away 5 years ago but visit every summer, and always make a point of eating here one night!
Went to Papa Frank's and had pizza. The price is right but the crust is that chewy New York style. We prefer a slightly crisper crust. It was just OK. Might go back and try the pasta dishes though.
Papa Frank’s is an awesome place. Great food, the staff and management are fantastic. Highly recommended!!!
Amazingly good food and super friendly staff! Big variety of Italian food. Never had a bad meal there!
One of the best places to eat in Winooski. Friendly, with great food. Don't pass this one up.
One of my absolute favorite lunch spot in town. Wonderful hot meals. Good beer. Excellent and fast service.
They've been consistently good for the 10+ years I have eaten there when I get a chance to visit the Burlington area. Their pizzas are excellent, as is there chicken parmesan!
Decent food and good service with generous portions and excellent bread.
