What we reported Frisco Star Cafe opened last May at the location that was formerly Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant, which closed a few months prior. The cafe now offers American dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Menu items include eggs benedict, waffles, chicken-fried steak, burgers and fried jumbo shrimp. A few Italian dishes, including spaghetti and chicken piccata, are also on the menu.

The latest Owner Tony Mehmedi said there are not many restaurants that serve breakfast in Frisco. So when Frisco Star Cafe opened, he said many people were very appreciative.

“I’ve heard a lot of customers describe our restaurant as a hidden gem in Frisco,” Mehmedi said. “For us it means that we’re providing good food and good service. We want to keep pushing forward and for all of our customers to leave these doors happy.”

What’s next Frisco Star Cafe will introduce a new menu in 2017, Mehmedi said.

The new, bigger menu will include new breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees. Some of the new items include Oreo pancakes and a steak and shrimp platter.

Mehmedi also said there are plans for a second location, but he has not determined whether the second location will be in Frisco.
