F&F Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in New York

I got married at Frankies so am very partial to everything this team does. We hadn’t been back in years since it used to be Prime Meats. Arrived when the place opened at 4:30 on a Saturday and were immediately seated at the bar. Great service from multiple staff members with a leisurely pace between courses. We started with the arancini (one for each of us, large but so good you won’t regret one to yourself) and the cucumber salad. These dishes were stand out - every bite so flavorful and perfect. Next we had the leek and guanciale pizza, which was a miss for me. The pizza was overdone and lacking in creaminess needed to offset the copious amounts of the salty and crunchy guanciale. We finished with the whole squid a la plancha. I loved this and all of the oozy ink - would have been amazing to sop up with extra bread (or even a white pie), but we were pretty full at this point. Overall a solid not excellent experience, but there were many other dishes on the menu that caught my eye I would...

The cold, dark evening after a joyous New Year’s Eve celebration…I was egregiously sleep deprived, hungover. The cold was setting back in and I needed just a bit more cheer to close out this holiday season. I chose F&F. And I chose correctly, my friends. I’ve never tasted anything so simply satisfying yet delicately complex as the wild boar ricotta calzone. My friends and I also split a pepperoni pie. How could I go wrong? How?? But I mustn’t forget to mention what (or should I say “who”) I consider to be the highlight of my experience: the lovely bartender CoCo. Swoon-worthy, ebullient personality and a hair-of-the-dog penicillin to cap the night (call the ASPCA). Please, do yourselves a favor, stop by on a Wednesday when CoCo is there, sit at the bar, and be transported to a better time and place. Happy holidays!

TL;DR: overpriced but delicious

All the other reviews state it very clearly, food is great but it’s way overpriced compared to other Italian restaurants in the area. That said, it’s still delicious but you’ll walk away not wanting to eat out for a month so keep this for a special occasion!

I started with the spiked hot chocolate which they served spilling all over the place and seem a little surprised when I asked for a Napkin straight away.

Shared the Burrata cheese - very yummy (again very expensive for quantity see photos). Main I had lasagna which was so delicious but again $27 (without tip or tax).

It’s so delicious and a great space but DAMN $16 for a basic glass of wine and $27 for any pasta -...
