" Dining at Franconello is always a pleasure. Their cheese tortellini with marinara sauce is a family favorite. Each dish tastes fresh and authentic, making it hard to pick a favorite. I've never had a dish I didn't enjoy! The service is also exceptional; the staff is always friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I highly recommend this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Franconello for a special anniversary dinner, and it was a sweet experience! The décor set the mood perfectly, and our meals were beautifully plated. The lobster ravioli was exquisite, and we couldn't resist sharing a dessert. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. We felt appreciated throughout our dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a lunch here a few days ago, and it was delightful. The house salad was fresh, and the baked ziti was cheesy and comforting. The wait was a little longer than expected, but the restaurant was busy, so understandable. I'd love to come back and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This will now be one of my go-to Italian restaurants. Between the delicious food and attentive service, I can see why this place is so popular. The eggplant parmesan was delicious, and the portion was more than enough. The atmosphere ensures a pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for a romantic dinner, and Franconello did not disappoint. The lighting was dim and intimate, perfect for a date night. I ordered the chicken marsala, and it was cooked to perfection. The rich sauce combined with their house-made pasta was simply divine. My only complaint was the wait time for service, but it was worth it for the food. Highly recommend! " (*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*)
