Havenβt been in almost 5 years. Did not disappoint! Best antipasto salad, chicken parm and cheese steaks anywhere. Food is delish and hot. Service was excellent. I need to go back soon!

The food and service at Franco's is exceptional. Our only issue was how incredibly uncomfortable the seating is. On this visit we were seated at the large booth. One from our party said she could feel a metal bar in her back. I was so uncomfortable I had to get up and leave. We also have been seated previously at regular tables and found the chairs to be quite uncomfortable also.

Okay, we ordered here for the first time and I have to say...the portion size is abismal. How in the world does two cannelloni equate to a full meal?? What's worse, my husband ordered manicotti. Again, 2 manicotti. Pictures are added for reference....can you tell them apart because we sure can't AND they weren't labeled in any way. The only "meal" we ordered that can be counted as a full meal is the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs are generous in size. Each "meal" did come with an 8inch warmed unsliced, unseasoned sub roll. We have not even tried the food because now I have to figure out what I have that I can ADD to this mess to make an actual meal. Truly a disappointment - Italian food is made to feed the family, this is not what I expected at all!! Also, what Italian restaurant provides no side salads with entree's?? This is so sad. Update: tasted the food and it is bland, bland, bland. The Cannelloni is supposed to have ricotta and spinach with ground beef....there is no ricotta and the green you see in the pic is parsley not spinach. This experience has been TRAGIC!! Anyone who claims this place had great food has either A- never had genuine Italian food or B- doesn't e

Iβve been dining at this restaurant about once a week for the past two months, spending anywhere from $60β$140 each visit, and Iβve genuinely loved the food and overall experience. Because of that, I was excited to bring my boyfriend here when he came into town. We enjoyed our meal and even ordered food to go. Unfortunately, once we got home and reheated the pasta, my boyfriend found a gray hair in the dish. I was embarrassed and disappointed, especially since I had recommended the restaurant so highly. Out of respect for the business, I didnβt want to leave a negative review. Instead, I called to notify the restaurant so they could be aware and hopefully prevent it from happening again. The person I spoke with said she wasnβt working that day and couldnβt really help, which felt dismissive since I was simply trying to pass along important feedback. I suggested that kitchen staff might need to wear hair nets. She eventually took my phone number and said she would pass the message to the manager. It has now been about five days, and I havenβt received any follow-up. Iβm still disappointed, not just because of the incident, but because of the lack of response afterward. As a loyal cu

Family stopped by to eat there on our way to visit the botanical gardens not too far away. Parking is shared as it is a shopping center but no problems were experienced. Our waitress Lori did a great job. The inside is kinda of dated in appearance a dark but with its own charm. I give it a 4 simply because it needs some upkeep. We didn't see any heightchairs at first but they were hiding in the bathroom area. Not the most sanitary place and it was small, dark, and sticky back there. I hope it becomes more inviting maybe a new coat of paint or something or fix small tears in the upholstery. We had pizza and that tasted just fine.
