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 - Basildon
Sue B (24 June 2008)
We went to Frankie and Benny's in Basildon, which I have to say, is my favourite place for dining out. The atmosphere, music and staff were all excellent. Our waitress last night asked us why we had chosen F&B's, I explained that as it was my birthday I got to choose where we went.
We had a very lovely meal followed by my favourite cheesecake. I was lost in my cheesecake when the lights went off and the music went down. Puzzled, I looked up to find my delightful waitress heading for my table with a bowl of ice cream bearing a candle. The birthday song was played over the loudspeaker followed by Cliff singing Congratulations; I was so embarrassed but thought it very funny and such a thoughtful gesture on the part of the waitress. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely restaurant to any of my friends or colleagues. I hope to see you soon.
