Not the cheapest of places, the food was extremely good as was the service. The food was super fresh, and tasted very authentic. We would go again

Great place for seafood dishes. Very generous on the serving size. The seabass I had was superb, crispy outside and soft inside. The dessert was lovely end to a delicious lunch.

This is one of the best places to go to eat a fantastic restaurant with your wonderful family. The food was up to my expectations and this was one of the best places to go if you want a social worker to treat you. The environment was the best atmosphere. One of the staff in this glamorous restaurant was called Paul. He was very friendly and he is also sociable. Overall, 5 star.

F A B U L O U S... We had a wonderful evening here, staff were perfect, there when needed but didn't over serve if you know what I mean. The Forestiere mushroom on garlic bruschetta was so tasty, then the Veal Milanese the best I've ever had, my partner had T bone steak (Available to order in advance) he said it was the best steak ever. Bottle of Primitivo, delicious.

We visited Franco's Restaurant on a Sunday. Upon arrival we were made extremely welcome and then taken to a table for lunch. The Restaurant appears to be clean and tidy and we found the atmosphere really relaxing. We were served by a member of their waiting staff and they were polite and helpful. We ordered a Lamb and Beef roast, we waited a little while but it was worth the wait. The roast was absolutely lovely and both Lamb and the Beef were perfectly cooked and with lots of flavour. The portions were more than adequate, we also received extra Yorkshire puddings,this was a nice touch and they were certainly consumed. I would certainly recommend Franco's as a food destination, and we felt the prices were really value for money. Try it.
