When we first came in, I told the host my name twice. He did not even look me up in the reservations. Because the restaurant was quite full, without even asking about any seating preference, he led us all the way back to a musty back room with tables with a trap door that went to the basement. There was no one back there and we immediately told him that the room would not be appropriate. I can't believe people eat back there. Only after we declined, did he say that there was a table opening up in 15 minutes. We were fine with that and we were seated shortly in the lovely decorated main part of the restaurant. The food is southern italian cuisine, which is heavier than Tuscany dishes. The avocado salad was a bit mushy - they tried to accommodate me since I originally wanted the avocado stuffed with crab meat, which had mayonnaise which I do not eat. I guess they pre-made it. I asked for a simple salad with an avocado with just some olive oil and vinegar and it came out twice mushy. At the end of the day the service after we sat down was excellent, the drinks were great and the food was ok.

We had another wonderful dinner at this gem of a restaurant. The service was fantastic as always, thank you Angel. We had the crab cakes as an appetizer from the daily special menu and they were tasty. I had Vitello Ai Porcini Con Salsa E Cognac and my wife Pollo Francese. Each entrée was accompanied with mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes. We both enjoyed our meal. My wife's entrée was not on the menu but as the menu states, if there's time they'll prepare it. We're looking forward to dining there again!

We loved this place! We drove by it many times but decided to stop by Friday night. The service was attentive, and the food was amazing! This will be a regular upscale date-night ristorante for us. Kudos to the staff and ownership.

I've been to Da'Franco & Tony many times over the years and they never disappoint. Not only is the food delicious the staff is wonderful and make you feel so welcomed. This wonderful little gem is a diamond in the rough. I highly recommend them.

The house chard was good, the food was delicious, except for my filet of the sole was dry and overcooked. My two guest said their entries were delicious. They had the gnocchi and the ravioli.

Delicious food, wonderful service in this charming restaurant. Thank you all, especially Mario, for helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary!
The food was horribly bland. Stuffed artichoke had no stuffing and no flavor. Duck breast the skin should be crisp there's was soggy.

I attended a surprise birthday party held here and the food, service, and atmosphere made a very happy occasion that much more special. The appetizer arancini was the best I'd ever had. The salmon in mustard sauce was cooked perfectly. Personally, I have never liked Tiramisu, but here it was amazingly good. I tasted it, not expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised. I would definely return.
