Wheat, olive oil and wine make the complete Italian meal. Frankie’s Italian Kitchen & Bar brings some of southern Italy’s famous flavours and family recipes, as well as not-so-traditional Italian dishes to the table. The menu includes hand-stretched pizzas with fresh dough made daily, an impressive selection of pasta dishes featuring both house-made pastas and traditional dried pastas, hearty entrées, stuffed Italian ciabatta sandwiches, big salads, healthy soups, and traditional Italian antipasto platters. The wine list focuses on great Italian vinos spanning Sicily to Venice and the best picks of the Okanagan Valley.
The menu at this Beatty Street restaurant is bursting with rustic southern Italian specialties. A house favourite, Nonna Maria’s lasagne is a hearty slab that’s satisfying without being overly indulgent. The family recipe sees fresh pasta noodles cradling layers of creamy ricotta, Bolognese sauce, San Marzano tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Frankie’s well-appointed dining room achieves a polished-yet-unpretentious environment while the outdoor patio has more of a relaxed vibe. Better yet, guests can opt to dine in the Jazz Cellar Thursday through Sunday and enjoy the musical stylings of live local and international musicians.
