The O2

Frankie Giuliani was 10 years old when, with his Mamma and Poppa, he left Sicily and landed at Ellis Island, New York in 1924. They moved in with relatives in ‘Little Italy’, a predominantly Italian neighbourhood. Poppa soon found work, but from the home country he'd brought a little money and a lot of ambition. It was no surprise then, when the family opened a restaurant within a year, everybody helping with the building and the cooking in equal measure. Each of them had a favourite dish to contribute, but it was Mamma's home-style cooking that was the base from which the business prospered. Frankie went to the nearby High School and became lifetime friends with Benny, already a third generation American. In 1953 Poppa retired and Frankie and Benny took over the business, combining the best of popular American food with traditional Italian dishes. The rest, as they say, is history...

Today, Frankie & Benny's brings together the best of classic American and Italian in both style and cuisine. They specialise in home-style cooking “just like Mamma used to make it!” Frankie & Benny's promise to really tantalise those taste buds with dishes from their extensive new menu including burgers, pizzas, pastas and steaks from the grill,. There’s also a great range of house specialities such as Chicken Parmigiana and BBQ Ribs.

There are also two great kids menus available from just £3.95 for a drink, main course, dessert and activity pack with stackable crayons to keep younger diners occupied!

Brunch is also available daily featuring delicious breakfasts such as American Pancakes, Traditional Breakfast with all the trimmings, Steak and Eggs, and Muffins! The bar serves a wide variety of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails.
