As the name suggests, Frankies is as much a sociable hangout as it is an excellent restaurant. Serving a stupendous range of authentic classic and contemporary Italian cuisine from the northern regions of Italy (there are more than 80 dishes on the menu to choose from) this is the brainchild of championship Jockey, Frankie Dettori, and top celebrity Chef, Marco Pierre White. The décor is supremely elegant and comfortable, with plenty of naturally beautiful wood, a luxuriously thick scarlet carpet and moody lighting providing a sophisticated ambiance that simultaneously manages to be warm and cosy. The live music adds atmosphere by the bucketful and Frankie’s celebrity-studded clientele includes Jean Alesi, Teddy Sheringham, Ralph Shumacher, Walter Smith, Gary Lineker, Ronan Keating and Chris Eubanks, to name a few. As for the food, Frankie’s cuisine is all all lovingly prepared under the careful eyes of the superb chefs. Signature dishes include the extraordinarily good, homemade duck ravioli, filled with duck, thyme sauce and smoked ricotta. Perfect for romance and special celebrations.
