I'm no expert in Italian gastronomy but the food at Franco's tastes very authentic. I was pleasantly surprised to see how big their portions are and how generous they are with the amount of cheese that comes with the dishes.

They have a really good service with knowledgeable waiters. It's refreshing to see how well the waiters know their menu.

Good prices. Definitely coming back. However, one aspect of their service that they could improve on is how they welcome their customers. My partner and I felt out of place as no one really approached us when we walked in, it felt like we weren't welcome. Luckily the service improved drastically once we were seated down.

We visited Franco's over the weekend based on recommendations from other people. It was the best Italian dining experience we have had. The food was authentically made and leaves you wanting more. Tina was an amazing host. It really does show that family operated restaurants carrying through years of tried and tested recipes that does not cut back on quality, trumps franchises focused on profit any day.
Thank you Tina and family - your restaurant is a rare find and an absolute pleasure.

We arrived without a booking on a Saturday evening and they were able to squeeze us in.

Lovely ambience, great food, excellent house wine! Very friendly and helpful staff.

We had two pizzas - one with salami and the other vegetarian. (Sorry, I've forgotten the names on the menu.) Probably the best pizzas I've eaten this year (and I eat a lot of pizzas)!!

I will very definitely be back for more pizza and to try the pasta. If I lived closer, Franco's would become my favourite restaurant!

Great Food and Service. On learning our guests were going to be late and feeling quite faint with hunger I really appreciated a very quick fresh and wholesome salad and some focaccia while we waited. Smoked salmon ravioli in creamy tomato sauce was heavenly as was Italian beef stew. Husband commented 6 times how wonderful the food was. Guests polished off every morsel of steak with mozzarella and veggies in double quick time so it must have been good. Certainly will be back.

Never disappointed at Francos. Delicious Italian cuisine. Super service. Nice to be able to BYO 1st bottle of wine. Makes the meal affordable, and means you'll be a regular at the Parkview landmark.
