For Frank Competelli, family and kitchen are the heart and soul of the Italian dining experience. Now in its 20th year at its Melrose location, Frankie and his family give you the feeling that you are dining at his home, not a restaurant. Being a New York transplant, he knows how much ex-New Yorkers miss their hometown, especially when it comes to food. So when you arrive at Frankie’s and the doors close behind you, you’ll instantly feel the New York state of mind.
