" Tried Franco’s last weekend, and I have to say the pasta options are plentiful and very tasty! The service was a little too casual but mainly okay. The environment felt a bit cramped, but the flavors were worth it. I’d return to try more from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Franco's for the first time last week and wow, what an experience! We were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere. The marinara sauce on my pasta was bursting with flavor, confirming the restaurant's reputation for serving authentic Italian food. I also enjoyed the big portions, which made for great leftovers! Highly recommend for anyone craving good Italian in a welcoming setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Do not expect the best service here. The food can be on point, but the staff occasionally seems overwhelmed. I had to flag down my server a few times. But the lasagna was genuinely good, bursting with flavor, so it made up for some of the service issues! Definitely give the food a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was quite enjoyable, the atmosphere was a bit chaotic during our visit, which made it a little hard to relax. The service was friendly enough, but it also felt a bit rushed. Still, I'll be back to give it another chance, especially for the pizza, which was quite tasty! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely family dinner at Franco's, where the pasta dishes were delightful. I highly suggest the lasagna! The staff was attentive, ensuring everything was prepared to our liking. Each plate was a generous size and packed full of flavor. Will definitely recommend to friends and will be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Franco's and although the food was good, it didn't quite meet the sky-high expectations set by other reviews. The margherita pizza was decent but not the standout dish I hoped for. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, but I think there are better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Franco’s is an interesting spot. The food we had was good, but not entirely authentic in flavor. The pizza was decent but tasted more chain-like than traditional. On the flip side, our server was super attentive and friendly, which we appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)
