Because Frank Prisinzano’s East Village spot always feels like a party. Anchored by a custom-built pizza oven where everything from the Neapolitan pies to the melt-in-your mouth eggplant gets a lick of the flames, Lil’ Frankie’s is the place for simple Italian fare that packs a punch (see the spaghetti limone, which is required eating) — consistently delicious and always fun.
