Frankie's Cafe was situated in South Shields on the foreshore. Its origins were in the Italian immigrants Amelia and Frederico Turrichi who started out around WWI selling toffee and sweets in the market. They opened two cafes in the mid-1930s. Their grandsons Joe and Leslie were in charge of the business from the mid-1970s until the mid-1980s when it closed. The cafe was also known as Frankie's Ritz Cafe.
