"Franco's Italian Restaurant has the feel of a small family business and the warm, friendly, cozy character to go with it. Upon entering the establishment, you are greeted with a welcoming smile as you are lead to your table. Well worn chairs and tables with paper tablecloths are indications of a casual family atmosphere and great Italian food. We had a fairly large party of 12 for lunch and we found our table, already set and waiting. The helpful staff brought in several high chairs for the 3 toddlers in our party. There was another very large party of about 24-30 people seated across from us in the room. Unfortunately, they ordered their meals first, which meant that we had to wait about 30 minutes our orders were taken. The staff did the best that they could under the circumstances, but it meant a rather length time, about an hour, before we were actually served our meal. Eventually the server came to our table, smiled and announced the specials. Everyone in our party seemed to order different dishes. I ordered the Penne Amatriciana. The sauce was wonderful, the penne cooked perfectly and the sausage was delicious. The dish was described to contain bacon, but I honestly couldn't find any in my plate. It still tasted fantastic, but it had me wondering if the bacon was little crumbs, just mixed in there somewhere. The rest of the party all enjoyed their meals as well and said the food was delicious. Service was good, as they came by often to refill our water glasses. I'm not sure if they refill the bread baskets, but the ones at our table were empty and we did not receive more. After we finished our meals, the staff quickly removed the plates from our table and provided dessert menus. We ordered lots of cannolis and spumoni ice cream. The cannolis were delicious. I plan to revisit Franco's and give them another try. The food is great and the staff is awesome. I just hope my next visit will not entail such another large party."

I was with a group celebrating a birthday. Their choice. It was my first time. I ordered the Flounder. The fish was mushy, and the soup was tepid. The dessert was Tiramisu, shared by all, and excellent! I only have compliments for our female server. She was good. View menu

The quality of the food can be inconsistent. The prices are fair. We have used their catering services a few times because their prices are lower than their competitors. However, every time we have ordered from them, they have forgotten to include an item or entrée. When brought to their attention, they did not apologize. I will not be returning.

I made the mistake of not taking a photo of my meal at this restaurant. My husband ordered a meatball Parmigiano Sub, stuffed mushrooms, and minestrone soup. Unfortunately, the Sub was dry and lacking in flavor, while the stuffed mushrooms were unappetizing and drowned in garlic sauce. The minestrone soup was decent. I opted for the crab cakes and pasta sampler, but was disappointed to find that the crab cakes tasted like tuna and the pasta sampler consisted of just one stuffed shell and one Manicotti covered in cheese, all for the high price of $19.95. The garlic bread was extremely dry. This was our first and last time dining here, and if I could, I would give it zero stars.

"Our first visit to the restaurant last night came highly recommended, thanks to a friend's glowing review of their vegan menu. We were pretty excited and ordered two vegan meatball subs. The trouble began when we waited for nearly 25 minutes after placing our order. Our server, a guy named Ryan (I think), came over and told us they were all out of vegan meatballs. Naturally, we asked why it took so long for them to figure this out, which seemed to fluster poor Ryan a bit. However, he was polite throughout the conversation. We decided to switch our order to one regular meatball sub and a vegan eggplant sub, thinking all was well. But, surprise, surprise, Ryan returned a few minutes later to tell us they were also out of eggplant. At this point, we had been waiting for almost 40 minutes with no food in sight, so we asked for the check to pay for the soda my husband had been nursing. Here's why the whole experience left a sour taste in our mouths: 1. Why in the world didn't the waitstaff know about these shortages in advance? It seems like basic communication within the restaurant was seriously lacking. Customers shouldn't be left hanging, wondering if they'll actually get what they ordered. 2. It's kind of baffling that Ryan was left to break the bad news not just once, but twice. You'd think the manager, who we saw chatting with other diners just a few feet away, would have taken the initiative to come over and speak to us directly. 3. I was made to feel like I should be really grateful they decided not to charge us for the Diet Coke my husband drank. Overall it was a terrible experience and no effort was made to rectify what happened. I obviously cannot comment on the food since we never recieved any. As for customer service...HORRIBLE!"
