I wanted to try a new place that served burgers and Frammi popped up, so decided to try it. I wasn't sure what I expected, but definitely want to go back and try an Italian entree. The burgers are very meaty, 1/2 pound that's a lot of beef. No fillers, all meat, grilled perfectly. My burger was the Black Angus with provolone and the fries were hot and crispy. My son got the ghost pepper burger with fries The server brought out crispy bread sticks while we waited. The food came out a little slower, as it's prepared as the orders are placed, so very fresh and hot. Glad we tried it.
Absolutely delicious food! Very authentic Italian meals. The chef/owner Luca is the absolute best and super attentive. This is where my family goes anytime we are craving some delicious pasta. We had the carbonara, kamikaze, ragú and vongole and each one was excellent. We also had the tiramisu at the end which is made everyday in house and it is the best tiramisu we have ever had, don’t go there without trying it. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants authentic Italian pasta made by an Italian chef!
Great for burgers.Eggplant parmigiana was flavorless mush—and eggplant parm is my favorite food.Manager provided alternate dish. Burger remains the best choice.
I hesitated sharing this review because I’d like to keep its greatness all to myself. Went here the other night after looking for somewhere new to try. I had been hesitant to try out Italian food in Tampa since trying Rocca a year ago (that so many people raved over, but let’s be honest, it’s just mediocre). Upon arriving to Frammi, there was a short (under 20 min) wait around 8 pm on a Friday. We had a bottle of very delicious wine, the burrata caprese, luca’s sauce pasta, and another pasta that I can’t remember the name of but it said “light spicy” on the menu, before taking the tiramisu home for dessert. Everything was spectacular! However, for my Alfredo lovers, I HIGHLY recommend the Luca’s Sauce! I asked them if they sold it on its own because I would’ve bought a quart the next time I had guests come over. Unfortunately, they do not sell it on its own. But we did learn that the owner, Luca, created the sauce after he opened the restaurant to cater to Alfredo lovers (as they don’t make this sauce in Italy). He puts every Alfredo pasta I have ever had to shame! Don’t order this unless you want every other Italian restaurant ruined for you!A young man who looked to be in high school was our server, he was very attentive and knowledgeable. And towards the end of our evening, the owner came by to check on us and see how we enjoyed everything.This is clearly a man who loves what he does and puts his heart into it. Everything is made fresh when you order it and it’s so we’ll prepared. I would never send anyone in Tampa to another Italian restaurant as long as this one exists.
My mom and I were in Tampa on vacation and visited this restaurant on 4/25/2023 for dinner based on all of the positive reviews. Our experience couldn't have been better! I ordered the lasagna and my mom ordered the caprese salad. We both came to the same conclusion "this food tastes just like Italy!" We have both been to Italy and believe me, the food tastes just like it does there! So, if you want authentic Italian food and super friendly service from a family owned business that really cares about what they are doing, then this is your place!
Fantastic food. First time going and will be back again! Got the ghost burger which I couldn't find a single flaw about it. Joined the clean plate club as the fries were crispy and just enough salt. So excited to try more they have to offer!
My wife and I both had the bacon egg cheeseburger with gouda cheese, fries and onion rings. EVERYTHING was nothing less than SPECTACULAR! The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. The 3 staff members were above and beyond our expectations. The entire restaurant, including the bathrooms were nice and clean. We will definitely be going back again and I plan on trying a pasta dish. Kudos and well done!
Most amazing Italian food in the area!Be sure to stop in and say hello to the crew Luca, Erica, Diego and Juan, who do an outstanding job.Awesome customer service..
An authentic family owned establishment with the most detail oriented customer service. All the menu items from breads, pastas, and sandwiches are made to order . If you want real authentic Italian food and wonderful customer service please give Frammi a try !!!
Frammi is a hidden gem. With both American and Italian cuisine. Thankfully it is not a fusion style menu, both menus hold true to their style. Every item is freshly made and cooked to order. Solid burgers (the patty melt hits just right), an awesome fried chicken sandwich, and the fries are done right every time (now krinkle cut my fav). I order extra because they are so good. It has become a Sunday lunch tradition for my family. My 5 year old tells me his order before we even get there. A cheese burger with fries and 3 meatballs on the side. Moving over to the Italian side is equally as good. With just about everything made in house and some ingredients imported as well. The pasta, the meatballs, and the lasagna is fresh baked just before I arrived. I watched them make a meatball sandwich. It was crafted with care. It's the little things I noticed, like hand sprinkling the parmesan vs the assembly line style of a subway restaurant where it's shaked on nonchalantly by some who "just" making a sandwich. Then it's pressed similar to a Cuban sandwich, again its the little things. The owner's friendly service and care taken to ensure you have everything you need it is also noted. All in all Frammi is a worth a visit!
We just could not wait to give our review! Here my husband and I were looking for a place to have a late lunch for Mother’s Day as a treat and we came across this spot after driving by several restaurants that were jammed packed! We were so pleased with how welcoming the entire staff were! Lucas took his time to walk me through on what choice of wine I should have based on the selection of plate. EVERYTHING was delicious! If you’re looking for an affordable authentic meal, then this is the place you don’t want to miss! We will definitely return to try different plates!
Excellent experience - *chef’s kiss*. Went on a Saturday early afternoon, friendly service from both the waiter & chef. Carbonara was deliciously thick & loaded with flavor. Chicken Caesar salad just as great. Will definitely be returning for some authentic food.
By far the BEST FRESH ITALIAN FOOD IN THE AREA!!!! The owners and chefs are absolutely outstanding. 3 Sundays in a row and we have ordered something different each time and all 3 times was better than the last.This is our NEW SUNDAY SPOT!!!
The food in this restaurant is fantastic! Their burgers were outstanding. Their oakfire sauce is amazing with the burgers. When they were voted best burgers in Tampa I can definitely see why. Their staff was also friendly and welcoming. I would recommend anything on their menu and I would highly recommend checking this place out. You won't be disappointed
I absolutely loved my carbonara dish here. It was delicious! Our service was fantastic. The owner Luca, brought out our food. He told us about our dishes that he had made from scratch. We were a party of 3 and we all loved our food! We will definitely be back. If you haven’t tried them before, you will not be disappointed!!
First time at FRAMMIs. Enjoyed a delicious bacon cheeseburger and a spicy Italian sandwich. Both were delicious, as was the pasta sample we were provided. Luca and his family were wonderful and very social. Enjoyed watching them work in the open kitchen. Would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!
When me and my family first came here, we didn’t know what to expect. There was the choice between the American and Italian cuisine. I was thinking about just having a burger, but their Pesto dish caught my eye and sounded really good. When I took my first bite, it was delicious! It was so good that I ate it down to the last bite and used bread to pick up the remaining sauce on the dish. My parents enjoyed the meatballs and caprese, and we enjoyed their homemade tiramisu and crepe and was the best we ever tried. They had great service, they made us feel welcome, they made sure that we got the best experience, and they were great people! If you’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant with great service, definitely come this place! It’s a 10 out of 10!👍🏼
This place is amazing! I had the lasagna which was the best I have ever had. My husband and son each had burgers which were delicious, juicy and cooked to perfection! W will definitely be back! FRAMMI is our new favorite place.
Excellent food, excellent service, amazing owner and staff. I go there every time I go to Tampa to visit my daughter and we always have such a great time there. Do yourself a favor go have lunch it's fantastic for dinner.
ADDED 2022:Still love the burgers but have been trying a few of the pasta dishes including pomodoro fresco (delicious).==================================================My family and I are regulars at Oakley Grille. We generally go on Cheeseburger Tuesday and have the special. We love it. I get the sweet potato fries with my burger.I have also had the lasagna on a Sunday night. Very tasty.What makes this place special is the owners and staff. Luca and his family are fantastic and Travis behind the grill is A+.Do yourself a favor and try Oakley Grille today. I have never had a bad meal and I am well into the double digits.
My husband loves their burgers! But tonight I wanted something different. I got the Cuban. It was delicious! The spicy capicola is a great addition. I will definitely order it again. We still haven't had any Italian dishes, that will be next!
Tried this place for the first time while visiting family. I wanted a Burger, I like them juicy, no pink. I usually have to get them well done, because places don’t know how to cook a burger properly. The cook personally came over and asked how I wanted the burger, he said he assures he can get it no pink, and juicy without getting it well done. Well, I must say, he was absolutely right!! The burger was soo juicy, no pink whatsoever! The doors of this place say “The best burger in Tampa”, and I would absolutely agree!! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!!
