Da Franco & Tony Ristorante

Usually at Da'Franco and Tony's everything is usually on point, Most of the time there is nothing that you order that doesn't come out great tasting. Today we were very surprised at the food. The avocado salad, I don't know what they put on it but it didn't compliment the avocado salad. They did give you a lot of avocado if only it was tasty. My wife got the Osso Bucco with risotto. She didn't really like it because she said that the taste of the sauce was overpowering the taste of anything else in the dish. The Veal was very tender but not much taste with the sauce. She feels maybe the risotto didn't compliment it, she should have gotten mashed potatoes. My mother-in-law ordered the lasagna and when it came out we couldn't believe how it looked. It didn't look fresh, the sauce was another color than what it usually looks like and it was a flat piece of noodle with what looked like oil in the sauce and it tasted horrible. She couldn't eat anything more once she tasted the lasagna. It took her appetite away but she exchanged it for the Sea Bass livorgnese that I had ordered. My dish was good, it smelled good and it tasted just like it smelled. Unfortunately I don't think the food, the dessert the appetizer didn't reflect the price they were charging. I ordered creme brulee and the custard looked more like grated cheese or something. I don't know if it was because it was cold but it looked old and the consistency changed the taste. Its usually very creamy. I felt bad for the owner because this was not a good look for his restaurant. The Lasagna looked like a frozen piece of mess. We felt embarrassed for bringing my mother-in-law. Nothing was taken off of the check for the mess up of the creme brulee or that horrible lasagna. I got 2 JWB' drinks and that was the best thing that was done right. We loved the food here but we have to think about going back now.

Love coming here. Love the authentic Italian food they offer, delicious wine and peaceful ambience.

An exceptional place to dine. Great service, good selection of wines, delicious specials (arugula salad, mango, cranberries, and fried goat cheese), veal with porcini and cognac sauce (mouthwatering twists better than veal Marsala-), linguine con frutti di mare (scallop, shrimp, squid, fish) a very hefty portion with delicious light tomato sauce, bread appetizer on the house (homemade bread and eggplant relish- yummy). Completed our dinner with Chianti Classico Riserva, ending with pistachio cheese cake (so scrumptious), cappuccino and amaretto (on the house). We will definitely be back here again when in the Bronx. Alexa was our attentive and informative waiter.

Went here for a small family wedding dinner, decided just to stay in neighborhood, food was subpar quickly prepared and brought out, everything was rushed, before you can finish the apps they were bring out the main course could barely have time to have a conversation. Seems like they just wanted you in a out, spent a nice amount of money just to be rushed out, it was after wedding dinner you think for the amount of money being spend they would off a glass of wine on house. Desserts were terrible would not recommend this place if ur looking for good Italian food.

Wonderful as always their bread & cheese on the table is so welcoming n such a nice touch I had the Salmon cooked my special way with rosemary which was delicious and my husband had the Shrimp Parmigiana which he loved the Cocktails are always great and love to end the night with the Espresso Martinis If u would like something cooked differently then on the menu and they have the ingredients they will be more than happy to accommodate you The staff is wonderful and ALWAYS TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY whether you are NEW or OLD it's a very WELCOMING PLACE the way restaurants use to be WONDERFUL FOOD WONDERFUL STAFF
