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.
Frankie and Benny's offers starters, main courses and delicious desserts, and favourites include char-grilled burgers, pizzas, pastas, steaks and house specialities such as chicken parmigiana, BBQ ribs, lamb shank and much more. The bar serves a wide range of beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks.
Start with sticky wings, crispy coated chicken strips, tiger prawn skewer or Frankie's fried calamari and if you are dining in a group choose the giant sampler platter. The pastas, calzone and pizzas are all made freshly on order. An interesting dish on the menu is a the Boston 7 speciality pizza fully loaded with slices of pork meatballs, spicy pepperoni, ham, crispy bacon, chicken, peppers and red onion, served on a BBQ sauce base. They also serve a variety of sandwiches and burgers throughout the day.

REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Nottingham City Centre
Sue (23 March 2008)
Slow service, small portions and cold food made the whole experience at Frankie and Benny's very disappointing. I also found it pricey.
Michael Burden (5 May 2005)
We made our first ever visit to any Frankie and Benny on 1 May 2005, but it will be our last, because this was the most disappointing restaurant we have visited in a long time. The spaghetti bolognaise was only a tiny portion of rather plain and insipid spaghetti in a watery reddish liquid - certainly not heaped with beef or ragu sauce as claimed by the menu. We asked for that essential accompaniment - parmesan cheese - but were told that they had run out. Their steak ciabatta sandwich, accompanied by a portion of undercooked anaemic chips and two slices of tomato, was just two pieces of dry bread containing a small piece of tough and gristly steak, a tiny piece of dead lettuce and a slice of red onion with no sign of the mozzarella cheese, pesto mayo, etc listed on the menu. (The onion was fine). F&B's ambience and menu indicates a much more stylish version of the roadside chain OK Diner, which we often visit and rate highly. However on this evidence their meals are certainly vastly inferior to what is available at the OK Diner. PS - One redeeming note at least for F&B! Our four year old son enjoyed his pizza and was very amused by the colouring book and crayons the waitress gave him.

Nando's - Nottingham Showcase
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.
