The waiter greeted us and was very attentive with whatever we needed, may it be refilling water, giving my nephew a slice of pizza, or checking us regularly Staff brought the delicious food promptly. Stuffed peppers were fantastic, and they even gave us extra so that everyone at our party had a taste of them. The food was fresh and served hot enough, which we truly appreciate. The manager checked in to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place. We saw the review...

The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was amazing. That's why I keep coming back. The fried calamari was a favorite of mine and my friends. The bread is always perfect. Tonight I tried the lamb and it was delicious! I ran into friends from high school while I was there. This is the perfect place to bring your friends, Family and have an enjoyable dinner.

Finally decided to visit Franco's for my birthday and I'm so mad at myself that it took me so long to finally come here. Best penne vodka I've ever tasted and the atmosphere is energetic yet calming at the same time. Franco's is easily my new favorite Italian restaurant. Definitely plan on coming back very soon.
