" After hearing good reviews, we finally tried Trattoria da Franco. The setup is cozy, but the service was a bit slow for our liking, which took away from the meal experience. I had a seafood dish that was decent but didn’t blow me away. Generally good vibes, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a terrific time at Trattoria da Franco! The service was truly exceptional as my server was very attentive. The tortellini was fresh and flavorful. The ambiance was relaxed, creating a perfect spot for a casual dinner. I’ll definitely return next time I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for dinner and was looking for an authentic Italian experience. The ambiance was pleasant, but the food didn't meet my expectations. I ordered the carbonara, but it was overly creamy and lacked flavor. The service was decent, but it took a while for our food to arrive. I might give it another shot, but I wasn't completely satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" We have been regulars and the quality never fades! The service is always warm and genuine. Last week, I had the lobster ravioli, which was fresh and incredibly delectable. It's the simple things like this make Trattoria da Franco our favorite Italian spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely restaurant! The food is simply Mexican and everything was just made with fresh ingredients. I felt welcomed since the moment we sat down. The service was fast, and our waiter was friendly. We shared a few dishes and ended our meal with fabulous desserts. I can't wait to come again and try even more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a homey feel, like dining with family. The food was fresh and delicious, with my favorite being the osso bucco. The servers were friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. I appreciate the effort the staff puts into the experience. I’ll make it a point to return whenever I’m in Alexandria! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance here is lovely, a perfect backdrop for a family dinner or date night. However, my dish left me wanting. I had the seafood pasta, and while it was fresh, it didn't have much seasoning or depth. The service was friendly, but I expected more from a restaurant of this caliber. Perhaps my expectations were too high. " (*Curated Review*)
