REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Leicester

Yates (6 February 2007)

The food here is simple fare that is produced in an open kitchen area. Taste = fine for an American diner. Though I do not see American food as being the best for taste, quality and grabbing the taste buds!

Overall a reasonable family restaurant that the kids will enjoy, (the kids’ menus offers handmade pizzas and meatballs with spaghetti, as an alternative to chicken nuggets), but the service is haphazard and not always friendly.

Dawn Kyle (5 February 2007)

This is my favourite place to eat in Leicester. Fantastic food, fantastic service and fantastic music. There is always a great atmosphere and I look forward to trying out different cocktails at the bar area. I have been coming to Frankie & Benny’s at the Meridian for about 10 years and I have never, ever had a bad experience. If you have never been - try it, you'll be going back for more.
