High-end Italian in great location with very tasty and well-presented dishes. Exceptional menu for anyone who enjoys seafood. Mussels, sea bass, cod, calamari, on menu all sounded amazing as did the specials. My ravioli with king prawns and sun-dried tomatoes was absolutely delicious. The waiters are attentive. The wine list is extensive.
It is worth going for special occasions.
I really enjoyed my girlfriend's gift.
She really wanted to bring me to this historical Italian restaurant.
Food is really good, also the wines.
The seabass properly cooked, so the pasta.
It's in a premium location so prices seem higher compared with other restaurants.
I also wanted to try a Selection Negroni Cocktail.
I could feel the ingredients quality and it was excellent, but maybe the price was slightly higher compared with London top cocktails bar (NightJar and A Bar With Shapes for a Name to provide an accurate reference)

Elegant and authentic Italian restaurant located on St Jermyn Street. Considered as one of London’s first Italian restaurants, Franco's was established in 1945 🍝
With the late October sun, we were lucky enough to be greeted with an alfresco table, which provided us with a vantage point of the lively Jermyn Street ☀️
The menu features a luxurious selection of clasic Italian dishes and something to suit everyone. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and explained each dish that was presented to us, which elevated our dining experience. 🍽
We had the pleasure of trying a range of dishes from the menu, which consisted of a Selection of cured meats, Fresh hand-picked crab, Poached veal fillet, and ended with a creamy luxurious Pappardelle with mixed mushrooms & black truffle 🤌🏻
Franco's offer an extensive drinks menu, comprising of Signature cocktails, liquers, classics, scotch, and much more. Not forgetting the impressive wine list, bound to please anyone 🍷
Non-alcoholic menu
Franco's have recently introduced a non-alcoholic menu, comprising of the finest natural ingredients to give you that 'feel good' sensation without the negative effects of alcohol. All the ingredients are designed to enhance your brain's natural GABA - thought to be the reason why alcohol is so popular.
We really enjoyed this concept and would love to see this in more restaurants! 🧡
Lastly, make sure you head to the loo before you leave.
On entering, instead of the usual background music, it had been brilliantly substituted with an audio recording of Winnie the Pooh & Paddington Bear, which I thought was the perfect touch to end our visit 🐻
One of the best pastas that I had in London but very pricy. We paid 130 pounds, just had pasta without starters or alcohol. I m not discussing their food quality or staff service that is 5 stars but we found too much.
We made reservations to dine here while on holiday. I ordered the octopus carpaccio, a rocket salad, and tagliatelle with mixed mushrooms and black truffle. The food was delicious! Service was also great!
Traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of St James. Fabulous friendly service with great personality. 3 course lunch menu at £49 pp including apèratif, wine and with good choices on each course. Absolutely love it.
Excellent restaurant if you are a cigar lover.
They have a very cigar friendly outdoor seating, as well as Davidoff is just right opposite.
Impeccable Italian food is served.
We were a group of four at dinner. The food was excellent and the wine list extensive. The sommelier was very helpful in choosing between a few I was thinking about. Excellent service and Dominic was a standout waiter. He managed a section of about 12 tables by himself and was always ahead of the game, a very impressive professional to watch.
Food was excellent, especially the pasta. Good value set menu for the coronation.
Lovely staff.
Marvellous Italian restaurant, very professional service and cosy interiors. Highly recommend the octopus carpaccio and grilled veal chop
