9 Best Italian Restaurants near Franklinton

“I love Frankos. Frankos and Ruth Chris are my favorite and I have tried a ton of steak places. At one point me and my friend would go several times a month. Now a few times a month. So good. Highly recommend the ribeye, garlic potatoes, and Brussel sprouts. I’ve never had the pasta.“

“This was our 3rd time here for dinner. The first time , 2 years go was exceptional.the food, atmosphere, and service were amazing. Last year we went and there were flies swarming our table. We ordered the osso bucco which is typically veal shank. This came as 2 tiny little pork ankles not veal, and was disappointing in taste. This year, we decided to go at Christmas to see the decorations. We ordered the burrata, and they brought us the shrimp appetizer. We sent it back and the server came back with it & said that we ordered it. Which we did not, instead of a confrontation, we kept it. It was delicious, but not what we ordered. The primo dish , we ordered the ravioli to share, it was very good. For or entree, we ordered the veal chop. It was chewy as if undercooked, soggy, as if it layed in its breadcrumb coating too long. For a $47.00 vealchop, it was a complete disappointment in taste and texture .as we went there specifically for the veal chop. After 3xs, the meals got worse instead of better. Our waiter was excellent, it’s too bad., but the food has gone downhill. We are Italian and are always looking for a great Italian meal. This was not!“

“I came here with my son and sister fot the first time. I had never heard of this restaurant but as an avid lover or pasta and Italian food I was eager to give it try.
Im really glad I did, because the food was delicious. I love how everything was made fresh in front you and the options were plenty. I love when I find a dish I can mix and match with and thats a huge appeal of the pasta. Pick your sauce, noodle and protein.... we love variety.
In addition to all that the head chef, Alec, came and spoke with us to see how everything was and it was a nice personal touch for a restaurant where I wouldnt typically expect that type of attention. I look forward to going back to try more things off the menu, but it truly was a 10 out of 10 for me and I will be back!“

“Awesome NY/NJ style pizza 🍕 and other great Italian dishes!“

“So good and really fast too! I got the Cheese Ravioli and my dad got the Zupa Tuscan(n)a. I was tempted to eat it all at once, it was so good- but the portion was too big, so I had it for lunch the next day (still good even microwaved). I am proudly coming back!!!“

“We enjoyed lunch at George’s today. Four adults and two kiddos. Prices were very reasonable for what we ordered. We ordered a variety of food and everyone enjoyed their meal. One waitress was running it all, and she was still courteous and attentive.“

“The employees were awesome and so friendly!“

“Great pizza and amazing service.“

“Always impressed when I get pizza from Johnny’s Pizza in Wake Forest. They never disappoint! Large pizzas, high quality, at very good prices! Staff does a great job, fast, polite and efficient. You get your money’s worth. Love the NY style pizza, and I was born in NY! Keep up the quality work Johnny! I will be back.“
