Review:
In Short
This high-concept chain boasts a sleek, modern decor, with hard lines and bright colors. Living up to the restaurant's tag line "Universal Pasta," noodles serve as the basis for most of the menu, and are surrounded by everything from Asian accouterments--cilantro, shrimp and bean sprouts in a spicy pad thai--to Italian nouveau, such as fried calamari, portabello mushrooms or hickory smoked bacon.

With the food you can not go wrong, service is always prompt and unpretentious.
Atmosphere and Decore is unique and top of the line.
Most elegant and charming banquet facility with private wine bar, and above all affordable to all.

Lively chatter and the aroma of garlic are the first things you notice when you walk into Frankie, Johnnie & Luigi Too! The interior is warm, friendly, and funky "Italian," (complete with red-checkered tablecloths). It is perfect for "date night," as well as the entire family. The restaurant has an open kitchen where patrons can watch the cooks "hand toss" the pizza dough and prepare entire meals. Frankie's is the pizza "mecca" of the Tri-Valley area. Don't look for yuppie pizza here. We feature authentic Italian pie that can be topped with your choice of items or one of the house combos.

Our menu features time-honored Southern Italian cooking. Traditional dishes such as Veal Parmigiana, Osso Bucco, and Chicken Cacciatore abound. Signature pasta dishes such as Fettuccine Prawns Portofino and Mostacioli d'Bari are sure to satisfy even the most discriminating palate. We are famous for our large portions and our specially priced "Dinner Specials." The complete menu is available to go.

You have one in the neighborhood? I adore them for carbo-loading (clams in white wine sauce). I always head there after a ride at China Camp.

. . . is excellent. Can highly recommend the Rigatoni Al Fuzio (if you'll eat bacon). They also make yummy polenta. Hmm, maybe I'll take Bubba there pre-Pardee and we'll raise a toast to you.

We talkin' garlic or liver Nancy?

[snapdragen]

Whoa, I just looked at Fuzio's menu.......I just had lunch and I'm hungry again.

It's got my vote.

Damn, now I've looked at Garlic Di Pasta........mmmmmmm

Nancy-- are you a total vegetarian? No fish or bird?

[Bike Goddess]

Well, Snap, if you want to know the truth.... we're talking both! But that's okay as long as I don't have to eat either one I'll be fine. Garlic and me don't agree (a little poetic here and there).

Also, there is a Starbuck's on Dublin Blvd so BikeMomma should be VERY happy

Although, come to think of it, parking in downtown Pleasanton may suck.....

Suggestion from the cheap seats...

Call "Frankie Johnnies Luigis" and "Pasta Pomodoro" and "Fuzios". See which one can handle the reservation for 10-12? at 7 pm. The winner gets the booking. Oh, make sure nobody needs to "dress up"... I'm packing

7 pm seems a good time for everybody coming from work and other places that day, plus it'll let folks get home not too late.

spazz
(the bike is now in the case, )

[Melody]

Any of those places are ok with me. I just need to know enough in advance to let work know I'm leaving early.

....cheesin' quite widely here, Nancy - thanks! Happy indeed....

Hi ride4ur_life - I'm with snapdragen here ... you're suddenly a party of five? That's a surprise.

Since you have such a large group, you will have to make your own separate reservation at Fuzio's for Friday night. Janet already had a tough enough time getting the reservation for 12.

Hope to see you there.

oh cool, they have Lemon Drop martinis - how very appropriate.
