I had a work event at Franky's, we arrived and oa table was ready for us almost immediately, we were a bit loud and they didn't "shush us" drinks were wonderful, and they had the best appetizers! Thanks for a great time! more

As a local I know the good places to get a meal in Chico. I avoid the chains and their preservative packed plastic food-in-a-box. Franky's is awesome because its all fresh. They even make noodles from scratch and the waitress told me the sauces are made from the owners grandma's recipe. How cool is that? If you want a taste... more

Chico doesn't boast a large quantity of unique dining establishments and it is getting smaller by the day. Frankies does offer some creative flare to its traditional Italian dishes.

It's ok for what it is, although I think the fact that Riley's is across the street makes the pizza better. more

I went to college in Chico and Frankys was my favorite place to eat. I miss the food so much!!! We use to dine there for every occasion. It is the best!!!! When you go, you have to get the pesto chips- they are SO good!!! Also, the calamari is delish! more
