Ole Franco's Coastal Italian Restaurant

Great service and we didn’t have to wait long for a table for our large family! Our server was Dakota and she was wonderful! The food was good; I thought the chicken Parmesan would be a bit larger and it could have used more seasoning, but that’s our only complaint. The pizzas were good and the breadsticks and salad were amazing! The prices aren’t bad, either!

We are at Franco's while on vacation in Orange Beach. We didn't have a wait when we got there, but shortly after we were seated, the patio was full of people on the wait list. My daughter and I each ordered the chicken parmesan which was HUGE! We definitely could have split it. It was very good, but the chicken needed salt. So did the Alfredo sauce I got on my pasta. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza which was very good, although it could have have used a little less cheese and a little more pepperoni. Our server, Destiny, was new, but gave us great, friendly service. We would definitely go back!

Chicken Alfredo was great along with the calamari, marinara had a bit of a kick, but still was very good. Shrimp and sausage had good portions. Kids loved their pizza along with the ice cream. Oh yeah the salad was really good. We will be coming back again.

Amazing Italian food and service, my heart was broken when I heard they will be closing in like four days permanently ?? I wish nothing but the best for the staff of Ole Francos what a pleasure it has been dinning there.

Called these nice folks on a busy Saturday night with a take out order for 4 families. They were out of the serving containers for the larger portions, but they were very accommodating and in less than an hour had 4 pizzas, breadsticks, appetizers, salads, and entrees ready in individual containers. Gave us plenty of parmesan and extra Ranch dressing. They didn’t make one mistake on that huge order! Best of all...the food was delicious! We can’t wait to go back next time we are in town!

We went here twice. The first time I had lasagna (excellent) and the next time 4 of us shared a pizza which was super. Good service and live music on Thursday which was nice (not too loud). Will definitely go back!

amne ate here 2 years ago and thought it was an average Italian restaurant. Now we saw in reviews that it was under new management and renamed. Most of the reviews have them good ratings, so we decided to go back. We were not disappointed..especially with the food. Their homemade meatballs were excellent. The breadsticks were also homemade together with their homemade marinara dipping sauce. The prices were reasonable. The only thing preventing us from giving 5 stars was the service. We thought it could have been more friendly and prompt. We, however, would go back next time we are in the area.

Absolutely a very nice find. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service by Dakota. The food was wonderful with great spices and very Italian flavors. Loved it. If we are back this way we will be repeat customers.

Since Eddie Boy (previously owned Flippers) took over the restaurant the food is better than before. With traditional Italian dishes, local favorites from the old Flippers, and of course Eddie Boy's homemade Ice Cream it is even better than it ever was before! Give it a try if you are in Orange Beach.

Everything we had was delicious. The kids loved there spaghetti and the pizza was amazing! The free ice cream at the end of our meal was definitely a pleasant surprise!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA in the Southeast! We KNOW our pizzas and have tried all the “best” pizza places but NOTHING compares! New management took over about 7 months ago and we were leary but were PLEASANTLY SURPRISED it is BETTER than before!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We have eaten at this restaurant before, but we were not impressed with our meal this past Saturday. We had Lasagna, salad with Italian dressing. They only offered 2 types of dressing-Italian and Ranch. Quantity of serving was good but taste was just average.

Sunday brunch items were cold and not tasty..would prefer to order from menu..server was pleasant and desk employees very efficient..

Dined on Valentine's Day evening, which is why I submitted a reservation via "Open Table"....bad idea! Restaurant did not take reservations from Open Table due to change in ownership...not my problem! Food was very good (recommend the stuffed mushrooms...outstanding!) My biggest complaint is with Open Table and not the restaurant!

Sunday brunch, was very unexpected. Totally surprised by the food and the service. Everything was very good and they moved people right along. The egg station was great. We enjoyed it so much can't wait to go back.
