"Service was attentive and prompt. Seating tighter than I would have liked. Portions were big enough to be shared between two people. Our antipasti: sausage peppers and our dessert: cannoli cake and tiramisu far outshined our pasta dishes: fettuccine alla franco orecchiette which lacked flavor. That was, for us, a surprising disappointment. I would go back though, just not for the pasta."

Every time we visit, we are always greeted by their wonderful staff. Their food is delicious! There isn't a dish I've had that wasn't delicious.

This is a very cute date spot. I ordered takeout from here and it was delicious! I got the eggplant Parmesan and the Fettuccine alla Franco. 5/5!
Thomas
Superb food. Appetizers came out in just a few minutes. Meals followed appropriately. There were six of us and a 1-year-old and the service was fantastic. We will come back when we're in the area. View menu

Delicious spot with great atmosphere, good service and reasonable prices. Calamari, pesto pasta, Caesar salad, Negroni- all delicious! My friends ate meaty things they liked as well. Great spot! (Red leather classic Italian booths a bonus).

We often order Franco's takeout and love the authentic dishes and flavor. It is just a bit outside of Chinatown. Whenever we go in and pick up our food, the place is always busy, so they must be doing something right. Good gnocchi and pasta is usually al dente!
