July 6, 2009

Spuntino is the Italian word for both a snack and a casual Italian eatery. True to its namesake, Frankies Spuntino honors both definitions. With a slew of cheeses, crostini, antipasto, cured meats, and vegetables, it's easy enough to pair a glass of wine (or two) with a varied spread of tasty bites.

 

If you are looking for a full meal, sandwiches and homemade pastas are available. Frankies' homemade cavitelli with hot sausage and browned sage butter is a dish whose hearty, basic ingredients and warming powers are locally renowned. Indeed, once you try it you may never want to sample anything else on the menu, but you should.  Sandwiches like meatball parmigiana and sicilian tuna are made on Sullivan St. Bakery's pizza bianca, a crispy, flakey, near-perfect carbohydrate. Linger while you eat in this homey space, warmed with brick walls, tin-ceilings, low-lighting and friendly waitstaff.  If you like, you can purchase a bottle of Frankies' signature green-tinned extra virgin olive oil, and take a drizzle of the experience home with you.
