I LOVE the gnocchi!!! I drive 45 minutes from my house to get food here. It used to be in a different location and I used to live close by. I’d estimate I’ve been eating at Papa Frank’s for about 20 years now.

I agree with the posts that wonder where the 4.5 stars come from. Our first and only time we will get food there. Take out order, got home and the $14 half lasagna was nothing more than 2 over cooked noodles and a thin layer of ricotta mixture that was clumpy from being cold. You could tell this was pulled from a fridge and reheated. No taste. The portion was literally 5 bites then gone. Glad I wasn’t expecting to get full on my very overpriced meal. Staff was fairly nice but you could tell they didn’t really want to be there. My husband liked his spaghetti ok enough, but not enough to go back for the seriously overpriced menu. Bummer as we were really excited to try this place. 🙁

Was on my way home from a long day on the road It was looking for some Italian food all the way through Denver and could just not find one I wanted to stop at other than one that was closed. stopping in to Papa Frank’s was probably the best decision I’ve made today…That was absolutely hands down the best spaghetti and meatballs I have ever had. I cannot wait to come back and try some more of the menu….. incredible noodles, sauce had a great flavor with a little spice and then meatballs were delicious. You guys are a hidden gem.

This place is tucked in a bland strip mall next to an Indian restaurant, but don’t be scared off. The food is worth walking in to check out. We tried the gnocchi, ravioli, and lasagna. The pastas were all homemade and tasted wonderful. The meatballs and sausage were definitely worth getting. The meatball had a rich soft taste. The sausage had a great spice. The only complaint was the watery red sauce which could have been thicker and more intense. The minestrone soup was very hearty and had small chunks is meat in it. We weren’t expecting that. We’re glad we tried this place. It really hit the spot for homemade goodness.

The food is delicious. Real Italian spaghetti. Garlic bread is great. Average salad. The downsides: not very well kept setting. You sit and see the supplies to run a restaurant. Bread, pans, utensils, racks of sauce everywhere. Get a room divider to separate the dining room & storage. The woman owner needs to be a little more friendly and welcoming. We love the food, though. Call ahead to see if they are open, short staffed.

Deceptive/borderline fraudulent business practices. Terrible customer service. Despite being take-out only, they refuse to make an accurate menu available online. “Real” prices are nearly double what is listed on their website/Facebook. Even when following their explicit instructions over the phone to access a current menu, I was repeatedly directed to the same website which apparently hasn’t had prices updated in ten years. A friend had picked up my order or I would have refused the food. The owner refused to APOLOGIZE, let alone offer any type of refund/discount, offered a series of illogical excuses, and acted like I was being insane for being upset that my food cost nearly twice what I expected.

We have all been craving homemade noodles, but we’re so disjointed that they don’t currently have in door seating. It is due to the fact that they’re not having anyone to hire. What is wrong with kids these days?

Went last night, was super cozy and small town feel. They are famous for making Homemade everything from scratch! Great “hole in the wall” Restaurant. It was our first time in and they had all you can eat spaghetti on sunday 9.95! Hit it up! Definitely a family restaurant, love supporting this kind of establishment!
