"Frankies 457 is a Carroll Gardens staple and is representative of the neighborhood's old school Italian roots paired with the youngsters who have recently flocked to this part of New York. The result is a restaurant with truly classic Italian dishes and a diverse crowd. Many a celebrities have been sighted by us here and many more glasses of wine have been drunk. We recommend the gnocchi and the eggplant marinara dishes. The best we've ever had. Seriously." - Ghostly Ferns
