Frank and Gino's

Frank and Gino's is a personal favourite spot to stop when going to or from Halifax, since it's only a few minutes off the highway, and the food is really good. The restaurant might remind you, at first glance, of a cross between Olive Garden and East Side Mario's, but don't let the quality of the advertising and branding fool you- this is a local restaurant. It definitely has the elements that make those sorts of chain restaurants appealing- it's clean, large and open, with nice decorations and well-designed menus. But it definitely has the quality of a good local restaurant, with friendly staff, and excellent food. I'm a big fan of the classic- Spaghetti and Meatballs. It's a little pricier than I like to pay, at 14.99, but the sauce and meatballs both taste fantastic, and the portion is fair for the price. The only downside, in my mind, is that the prices are a little bit high, making it more of a treat than a regular stop while travelling. Definitely one of my favourites in Truro.
