" Franconello has always been my go-to for authentic Italian fare. I have enjoyed countless meals here, from fettuccine alfredo to baked ziti. Everything is made from scratch! My only disappointment was the noise level during dinner; sometimes it can be hard to have a conversation. Regardless, I will keep returning for that fantastic food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely one of my favorite Italian eateries! The ambience feels like home, and the staff treats you like family. Their gnocchi is unmatched—light and fluffy, just how I like it. I also tried their tiramisu, which was heavenly! The pricing is reasonable, and the serving sizes are ample. Can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my father's birthday here and we had a fantastic time! The food, service, and ambiance were all on point. My dad loved the gnocchi, and I enjoyed the pork chop very much. We look forward to coming back for more celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Franconello is a hidden gem! We had a family gathering there and everyone left satisfied. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp fra diavolo, which had just the right amount of spice. The portions are quite large—definitely worth the price. The ambience was lovely, although a tad noisy due to other families dining. A must-visit for any Italian food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant exemplifies what real Italian dining should be! I have been several times, and each experience has been stellar. I recently tried the veal parmesan—it was perfectly cooked and not at all greasy. The portions are generous, and I always leave feeling stuffed yet satisfied. The atmosphere is calming, but it can get a bit loud during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing rave reviews, but my dinner was a bit underwhelming. The bread was fresh, but the main course lacked seasoning. Service was quick and polite, which was a plus. I’m not sure if I’d visit again right away, but perhaps for a lunch special. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best experience here on a group outing! From shared appetizers like calamari to everyone enjoying their main dishes—everything was simply wonderful! The staff was accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend Franconello for any get-together; you'll leave happy! " (*Curated Review*)
