I'm done with Franny's. Too precious, and insanely overpriced for what it is. I've had some delicious things here, but...19 bucks for a clam pie that has, like, 4 clams on it? 15 bucks for appetizers?
I was there with a friend a few months ago, and we ordered the special appetizer - some sort of pork belly thing that just happened to be terrible. The piece we got was a solid hunk of fat with a very weird, unpleasant flavor. Told the waitress we were a bit surprised and dismayed by the taste (it was bad!). She whisked it away without a word. Later we were visited by a manager who said, "I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the pork belly... because everyone else is raving about it." And it shows up on the bill, even though the waitress TOOK IT AWAY.
This, my friends, is what we call 'tude.
I'll take Amorina any day. Not the same thing, but delicious, cheap, and no one acting all haughty and virtuous about their artisanal cred.
