" Franca's has become our go-to spot for Italian cuisine. We've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here, and it never disappoints. Each dish feels like a labor of love. For my most recent visit, I had the short rib ravioli, and it was out of this world! The rich flavors and tender pasta were divine. My friends were equally pleased with their selections. Highly recommend for anyone looking for genuine Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Franca's, and I was impressed! The food was delicious, and my favorite dish was the shrimp scampi. The portions were generous, making it a great value for the price. The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter, and the service was very attentive. I left with a full belly and a smile on my face! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Franca's for dinner, and we all came away very impressed. The menu is extensive, and we tried a mix of their appetizers and main courses. The bruschetta was fresh, and the bread was toasted to perfection. For mains, the gnocchi was fluffy and served with a rich tomato sauce, and the chicken parm was huge and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, which made our visit even better. Definitely a place we are adding to our regular rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a chef with Italian heritage, I hold Italian restaurants to a higher standard. Franca's did not disappoint. The flavors in the dishes were well balanced and authentic. I ordered the lasagna al forno, and it was just like my nonna made. Soft layers, rich sauce, and cheese that melted in my mouth. The wait staff were knowledgeable about the menu, and they made great recommendations on wine pairings. The environment was cozy, making it perfect for a comforting dinner. I can't recommend this place enough and plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful experience! I came here with friends and we shared a variety of dishes - from antipasto to tiramisu. Everything was flavorful and appetizing. The garlic bread was a highlight - so good that we ordered a second round. I could tell that a lot of care went into each dish. Service was attentive, and the owner even came by to greet us! We'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Franca's Italian Kitchen is my new favorite restaurant in Alpine! I tried the fettuccine Alfredo, and it was creamy, rich, and cooked to perfection. Their garlic knots were also a perfect accompaniment. The service was impeccable, and I felt well taken care of throughout my visit. I truly relished every moment at this quaint spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m thrilled to have found this Italian haven! The seafood pasta was outstanding, showcasing fresh shrimp and scallops with an incredible sauce that I couldn't get enough of. The ambiance was warm as well, making it a perfect setting for a casual family dinner. I would have liked to see the dessert menu before I left, but I enjoyed my meal nonetheless. Worth every penny!
