Gregarious owner Francesco "Frankie" Murchesini patrols the tables in the hottest dining spot in North Tampa (as witnessed by the photos of famous patrons adorning the walls). When not playing his harmonica to celebrate someone's birthday, Frankie's making sure everyone is enjoying his delicious cernia portofino (scrumptious grouper in a brandy sauce with shrimp) and other Northern-Italian dishes. His sister makes the pasta, which shows up in more traditional fare such as seafood over linguini with a choice of marinara or white-wine sauce. Be sure to start with half a Caesar salad.
