(I concede that in one of our early visits, they were not so friendly, which I attributed to our being there with kids (who are not perfectly behaved), and the food was hit or miss.) In more recent visits, they've been quite friendly and accommodating -- including to our "bambinis", for whom we always order something not on the menu (linguine aglio e olio, which has been excellent every time) -- and the food has been uniformly delicious, especially for the VERY low pricepoint. We think it's a fabulous addition to the neighborhood, and we hope the other people who were packing the place tonight agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-37457132746849866652010-03-25T16:13:16.008-04:002010-03-25T16:13:16.008-04:00I really disagree with that review.

The food is consistently good, which is important. I would recommend the Meat Lasagna, the Lamb ragu and the Spaghetti alla Norma.<br /><br />They now have their liquor license and a good selection. I again have to disagree about the owner not being nice. He always comes over and chats with us. <br /><br />I think this place is one of the best things that happened to this neighborhood, take my advice and go eat there, you wont be disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-26715713478925064022010-02-26T23:54:17.923-05:002010-02-26T23:54:17.923-05:00The first time I came to Frizzante, I didn't r...The first time I came to Frizzante, I didn't really know what to expect. It was so so, but because it was a new restaurant, I thought I should give it another try. This time was completely awful!!! <br /><br />The atmosphere is very dead. The owner and his friends like to sit in the back of restaurant and look at the patrons from their "VIP" view. Frizzante has a non-friendly environment which is oddly contrary to typical Italian establishments. <br /><br />It actually seems as though this place exists as a front for something else. Frizzante isn't concerned about creating delicious cuisine or making the patrons feel welcome. It's a very strange place. <br /><br />Food: Below average<br />Service: Average<br />Atmosphere: Unfriendly<br />No liquor license :(<br />Owner / Manager (little Italian guy): Very unfriendly, possibly moody, maybe bi-polar. Your guess is as good as mine.
