I have enjoyed many meals at Lil' Frankie's, but recently the food has become a joke. The other night I ordered papardelle allo scoglio and wanted to laugh when it was set in front of me. The sauce was like tomato juice with a few pieces of basil thrown in for color. 10 rock shrimp does not a scoglio make. For $17, you think they could manage to throw in a clam or mussel or two to actually make scoglio what it really should be. I would have sent it back if the server had actually come around before we were finished eating. My friends' meals didn't fare much better. Empty water glasses. Empty wine glasses. Hilariously bad bar service. Watching the server chat with someone for 10 minutes before putting in your order. Waiting 15 minutes for a check. This is just too bad, too bad.
Pros: location, quick seating
Cons: flavorless food, service
