" I have lived in various states and eaten Italian food everywhere, and Franco's is the real deal! From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of homemade sauces fills the air. I had the eggplant Parmesan, and it was spot on—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, just like my Italian grandmother used to make. The only flaw was that they could improve on the efficiency of their service; it took a bit longer than I expected. Still, the quality of food made up for it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Everything from the service to the food was impeccable. I had the shrimp scampi and it was full of flavor. My husband tried the chicken Alfredo and said it was the best he's ever had. We can’t wait to visit again! Lastly, that tiramisu was to die for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Franco's has quickly become our favorite Italian spot in Ocala! Every time we visit, the staff treats us like family. The garlic knots are a must-try, and their marinara sauce is just divine. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both romantic dates and family dinners. We've sampled various dishes, but the lobster ravioli truly blew us away with its freshness and flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a lovely dinner at Franco's recently. The staff was exceptionally polite, our food came out hot and fresh, and we particularly loved the meat sauce. Very comforting. We’ll definitely be making this our regular spot for date nights from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Franco's, but there were just too many red flags during my visit. The bread was cold on arrival, and my pasta primavera was bland. Service was friendly but slow, and I felt we were neglected for long periods. I might give it another chance in the future, but it wasn't the best experience this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I pop into Franco's anytime I'm craving Italian, and I've never been disappointed! Their garlic knots are fantastic and their pizza has that perfect balance of crust, sauce, and toppings. The ambiance is casual yet inviting. Sometimes I do feel the service lacks speedy execution, but I can overlook that when the food is this good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a very disappointing experience. We waited long for a table, then even longer for our food. The waitstaff was nice, but I felt sorry for them being so overwhelmed. When the food finally arrived, my pasta was overly salted and tasted odd. My partner enjoyed his dish, but it was the longest we’ve been in a restaurant without a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)
