Lincoln
Frankie & Benny's - Lincoln

The godfathers of the Frankie & Benny’s dynasty got something very right when they founded their first restaurant back in twenties New York. With Sicilian roots to build upon, this immensely successful brand of restaurants has produced an extensive menu, with something for all tastes and budgets, which is as quintessentially New York Italian as Robert De Niro.

The instantly recognisable red neon sign and warm inviting interior will ease you into the Frankie & Benny’s experience before you can take your coat off. Buzzing with the sound of lively chatter, this restaurant attracts everybody, from couples and parties of friends out for good times and great food, to families treating themselves to a night out – children are extremely well catered for with their own menu, activities and games.

The choice is so massive that making a decision is a difficult task. To start, try the tiger prawn diavlo; five tail-on prawns pan-fried with fresh garlic and green chillies and then tossed in a Neapolitan sauce and served with ciabatta bread (£5.95). Magnificent mains include pastas, pizzas, burgers, grills, calzone, house steaks, salads, sandwiches and house specialities with fish and vegetarian dishes aplenty – the Mediterranean vegetable risotto (£8.25) will satisfy even a devout carnivore.

To finish, Mama’s chocolate marble combines a digestive crumb base with thick creamy baked cheesecake, chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream (£3.95) and I would like to thank ‘Mama’ personally for thinking up such a wickedly moreish pud.

In typical stateside fashion, service at Frankie & Benny’s is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for the obliging and friendly staff. So loosen your tie, relax, settle into your booth and relish the wonderful feeling of a very satisfied appetite.
