History
Established in 2004.
We like to think of Frankie’s as holistically & quintessentially Mendo — friendly, organic & comfy. In a picturesque town full fabulous high-end cuisine, we offer locals & visitors a place to kick back while feasting on yummy eats.
Mary Muto opened Frankie’s in Sept 04. In August 07, we bought Frankie’s. Building on what Mary created, we’ve taken the original ice cream & pizza parlor to the next level.
The menu continues to expand while we search out local & high quality organic ingredients. When dining in, meals are served using ‘real’ plates & silverware. Our ‘to go’ packaging is 100% biodegradable & compostable. We strive to create a space that is earth & community conscious. That means we are committed to using products that are in harmony with peoples’ & the planet’s health — products that you can feel good about eating & using. So come enjoy & stay a while — nosh & kibbitz. Frankie’s continues to evolve, so if you are in the neighborhood please drop by & say hello.

Ruth and S.A. E.
Business Owner
To fully get Frankie’s it helps to know a little about us: S.A. & Ruth. When we first met back in 1994, we were in Israel on a volunteer program, learning the language and doing community service projects. Although there were many memorable and poignant moments during our year there, we actually spent a lot of time searching out the perfect falafel. We were then, and are still foodies. After coming back to the states, we lived in San Francisco and pursued other passions. For Ruth, that meant working at the SPCA and for S.A., cultivating his green thumb gardening with kids. In 1997 we moved up to Mendocino and were able to continue working in these fields.
Over the years, we talked about having an eatery/venue in the village that would encompass the things we loved and bring our community together: a gathering place that served organic food, casual enough to hang with or without kids combined with local music and art. Then in August 2007, we took the leap and bought Frankie’s.
