Walls with black and white family photographs showing life in Brooklyn's 'Little Italy' surround cosy booth seating and tables. Combined with the classic music of the fifties, a mix of American swing and beat, they definitely provide a fun and friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy.

REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Barking
Cathy Pye (11 July 2006)
Superb! Fantastic value for money. Not knowing this restaurant but having eaten at more expensive places in Norwich, I took a chance and booked an evening table for fourteen guests for my daughter's 30th birthday. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble (balloons and 'happy birthday' music provided!) We were offered a varied menu, and everyone agreed their food was excellent and cooked to perfection. (Do leave room for the deserts, though!) The menu is so much more than beefburgers and pasta. The environment is basic, although very atmospheric, but I am sure you will not find a better value restaurant in Norwich. However, I booked mid-week and it has been suggested I should avoid weekends when the crush could make it "like McDonalds".
Mick Owen (16 November 2005)
I took my partner to Frankie & Benny's at Romford, I must say the food is great but the service is disgusting unless you are a lad of about 16+ then the waitresses will stand and talk all day, the only people who seemed to work all of the time was the two young lads serving! Could you not employ a more mature type of person?

Featured Group Restaurant
Nando's - Barking
With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
