Franca's Italian Restaurant

My husband surprised me with a dinner date at Franca’s last night. It was Valentine’s Day, they were quite busy and it took an unusually long time for our food to arrive, but we didn’t mind because we were too busy enjoying the music, our drinks and each other! We ordered the grilled chicken with vegetables and it was delicious! Franca and her staff are always so nice and welcoming, the food is always great and the atmosphere is relaxing. We’ll definitely be back!

<quirky & fun - such a good place for a family dinner> We recently visited after a day spent at the NASA space center (4 adults, a 7 year old and a 3 year old. ) we had a pizza, the lasagna, a combination plate and spaghetti....and numerous desserts! Everything was delicious and resonably priced, but the best part was the service and the atmosphere. Our kids loved the live music. Truly a family restaurant.

Such a neat place!! Definitely not a boring meal. The food is great but if you want a cheap meal this is not it. We went late on Tuesday night and found out they were having live music which was so fantastic. They have dinner theater here also!! So much fun, great for a night out with your favorite people.

This was our first trip to a very nice and elegant restaurant setting. The service was perfect and the food was enjoyable. Franca's Real Italian Restaurant is the diamond in the rough. We made the decision to visit based on pictures and an article we saw in the local "happenings" mailer. Boy were we surprised when we arrived. The setting was dim with candlelight... something we have not seen in quite some time. They had a couple of really good vocal artists performing during our visit. It made for a very nice family dinner. We ordered several traditional plates off the menu. It was all reasonably priced. Everything we ordered was enjoyable and satisfying. I added a picture of half an order(shard with wife) of Manicotti. I definitely recommend a visit if you have not been. If you have been...you already know how nice this restaurant is.

This place is a hidden treasure. If you haven't been to Franco's real Italian restaurant you're missing out on its place in history. Frank is a second generation real Italian restaurant. In addition Half of the restaurant is a dinner theater. Last Saturday night we saw Neil Simon's play rumors! A hysterical romp through deceit stories in more stories lies and more lies laughing at every turn! A great cast. The food the food was quite good. This restaurant has been a neighborhood gem a neighborhood favorite For a very long time period ask any of the staff about the history and they will be happy to share it with you! Not in to dinner theater that's all right even on theater night the rest of the restaurant is open for business serving up all of our favorite Italian dishes with a full bar you'll not go Thirsty.
