Italian home cooking in Wickford

A New Restaurant with Delicious Traditions
Frankie’s Italian Bistro, just opening this summer, is new to North Kingstown – but that doesn’t mean owners Greg and Christine Stevens are new to Italian food. They’re the delicious minds behind Pat’s Italian Restaurant in Johnston. “I would like to say we chose Wickford,” says Greg “but it was like Wickford chose us.” The restaurant will serve some of the favorites at Pat’s, like their award-winning sauce and unmissable Chicken and Veal Parmesan and Veal Sorrento. “The menu at the Bistro is smaller, with interesting appetizers and small plates, and the wine list will be bigger,” Greg says. “We see a need in this area for good Italian food at reasonable prices. I grew up down the road, and I spent all my summers in South County. I look forward to spending many more.”

Two Is Better Than One: Frankie’s Italian Bistro is the sister restaurant of Pat’s Italian Restaurant in Johnston, and shares the same philosophy of serving fresh, all-natural food.

Sunday Gravy Every Day: The house tomato-basil red sauce at Frankie’s is the same recipe they use at Pat’s, where it was voted Best Sauce in Rhode Island by The Providence Journal.
