Franny's simplicity is deceptive. The restaurant finds transcendence in dishes and genres that wouldn't seem to yield so readily to invention or open the door to so much pleasure. - Frank Bruni
One of my FAVE'S!! Congrats at being named #4 of the top 101 Cheap Eats in New York Magazine.
The brick oven pizza is great! Perfectly cooked! I love that the menu changes with the season -- try the squid salad or provolone pizza if it's on the menu... oh, and anything with the sausage! YuM! They have a very nice wines by the glass list. Very diverse!!!
During the warm weather they have a quiet garden in the back. I prefer to sit there then in the more noisy dining room. (They need to hang a few textiles to dull the din a bit.)
Swing by 7th avenue and check 'em out! You won't be sorry!
