Frankie's Italian Trattoria 1037 Soco Road, Maggie Valley, NC 28751

"Even on a night that was packed and only two servers had the whole back of the restaurant, service was great. Despite having multiple parties ranging from 5 to 9 the servers had smiles on their face and got our food and drinks to us. Super friendly service and the food was so good! They even give a celebration cannoli which is so tasty! Definitely come check out this hot spot in Maggie! You won’t be disappointed."

"We arrived at the restaurant and were told that it was would be about a 45-50 minute wait as they were down a server. We were invited to sit at the bar while we waited. The bartender service was top notch. We were welcomed to go ahead and place our food order by the bartender who was attentive and efficient. We were soon devouring amazing dishes. I had the penne and broccoli with grilled chicken. It was really good! My girlfriends had the lasagna and a pizza. They agreed that the food was delicious. The portion sizes were perfect. The atmosphere was pleasant with a piano player in the background. The ambiance supported a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience! We can’t wait to go back and try different dishes! Especially the desserts!"

"Excellent, I've been to Maggy valley hundreds of times and never had been there till last Saturday. Some of the best Italian I've ever had. I will be going back very soon."

"We really were looking forward to having a nice dinner together here. It looked like such a busy place that must be enjoyed by many. However we were soon to be very disappointed. We had arrived at 8 pm and got signed in; had a wait time of 52 minutes which we expected we were going to have to wait but the only reason it wasn't longer was because I had to ask them how much longer were we going to have to wait and they didn't even know we were waiting for a table. They said they had text me but I didn't have my wi-fi on and there was no cell service in the lobby so I didn't get it till after they seated us. They had stood there and saw us waiting for a long time but never bothered to ask if we had been taken care of. Then we were taken to a table in a corner and practically forgotten. It was 17 minutes before anyone came to our table and that was only for bread. We finished all the bread and at least 10 more minutes went by before we were given silverware and a menu. Still no drink order or water brought to us yet. Finally our waitress appeared so we made sure to order drinks and food before she got away. Then someone came and sat a bowl of soup in front of me which belonged to the other table. Some time later we got water (city water with chlorine taste) served to us. Then my salad came but not my husband's, even though the tray the girl brought out had 3 other salads on it. Then our soda and ice tea came which my husband finished his tea, and we had to flag someone down to get a refill. When our dinner finally arrived, only mine came. We could hardly believe that they actually served not only my salad without serving his but now my entree without his entree too. I am a very slow eater but had eaten half of mine before my husband's came. I ordered the eggplant mariner which was so bad tasting I couldn't finish it. The sauce was very sour and the whole taste was terrible. My husband did not enjoy his fettuccine Alfredo with chicken either, it was very runny and for $25 was a very skimpy serving. Unfortunately our night out was ruined by the lack of concern to wait on us in a timely manner. I have to say this was the poorest run dining room I've ever seen. What was even worse we had to pay for the horrible service and bad food. We really tried to enjoy ourselves but ended up so totally disappointed and totally disgusted that we won't be back or able to recommend this restaurant to anyone."

"We arrived just after being married. The food was great and the service even better. They even surprised us with a dessert for our special day. The atmosphere is nice with no trying to talk over loud music."
