4 Best Wine Bars in Wellington

“We’ve dined at Franco Italian Bistro many times over the years, but our recent visit was truly something special. The restaurant is now under new ownership, and the fresh energy is undeniable. Nick, the new owner from Queens, NY, greeted us personally and made us feel instantly welcomed—like part of the family. His hospitality and genuine passion for the restaurant are already making a noticeable impact. Our server Frank was an absolute delight—friendly, engaging, and made the evening even more enjoyable. The food was fantastic as always, with the penne vodka being a standout—rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. To top it off, the desserts are now brought in from Junior’s in NYC, which was such a fun and delicious surprise. We’re so excited to see where Nick takes this beloved spot and can’t wait to return. Franco’s is clearly in great hands!“

“I was invited to join 4 friends for lunch today. What an interesting and enjoyable place. We had reservations (3 are members), and arriving early we enjoyed the wine tasting. What a great way to try new wines without having to buy a bottle and hating it. We all ordered different lunch items and sampled each others food. Everything was fabulous. Wine, food and service. I will definitely go back again and again.“

“It is the best in Wellington“
