“The Franklin exceeded our expectations!We were in Cape Ann to visit the Edward Hopper Exhibit at the Cape Ann Museum (exhibit now closed). We Googled nearby restaurants for a quick bite before driving to Cambridge for an Early Music Festival concert.The Franklin came up with very good reviews and it was, yes, right outside our window where we had parked!It was an easy decision to go in. Although the restaurant was booked up, we got a couple of seats at the bar in the main room which shares the same house menu. We were seated next to a kind local couple who helped us with menu choices.The food was very good. We ordered the two pastas from the menu to split and a side of cooked spinach (no garlic because of the concert!). The regular-menu Ravioli was good; the edges were thicker and more aldente than I liked (my husband liked it). The Daily Pasta was close to perfect. Fettuccine with Chicken, Mushroom and Alfredo Sauce. The Spinach was as ordered and it was a huge amount. We each ordered a glass of wine.We will definitely return if ever again in Gloucester, MA. We might even plan to return...Dietary restrictions: The Hostess mentioned that The Franklin has many Gluten Free items on the menu. She was a regular customer because of it and decided, "Why not work here?"Kid-friendliness: I would not have brought my young children. As grown young men, they would love The Franklin.”
“Destino's catered our office Christmas Party and the food and service was amazing. Alyssa worked with me to create our menu and she arranged a somewhat difficult delivery for us. I highly recommend them. They went above and beyond for us!”
“Tried Bravo for the 1st and really enjoyed the pizza, crust, and toppings. Megin’s chopped salad was also a great pick too!I’d highly recommend and with the wood fire setup, its a good change from your standard oven pizza from other good places in town.”
“Solid 4 stars. The bruschetta app and meatball app were both very small and the waiter could have told us this as we were sharing among a group of four. Great cocktails. Cozy, low lighting made for nice vibe. Prices seemed overall reasonable.”
“I was there helping a friend deliver something, and the owner offered me a free LG Cheese Pizza and that was the best thing he ever did because I was eating it and then my daughter had called and I picked her up with her nephew and I left it in the backseat and when I dropped them off I went to go get some more and it was gone. I wish he would do that with some subs too so I can taste them out cuz you know restaurant they always either make a mistake or somebody doesn't come to pick it up or whatever but let me tell you that was the best Choice he made giving me that free pizza because ever since then I love their Pizza and I get it often it's out of this world I'm hoping one day he'll give me a cheesesteaker something cold too although I did try a ham and cheese and it was the bomb the bread there was so fresh oh my God so soft. So I do recommend if he lets me try anything else or I get anything else I will update you but so far it's the bomb diggity!”
