      We love Franco's. Great Italian food. And great specials. Long hot peppers stuffed, cowboy ribeyes and more.

      The ambience is nice with a small bar. And don't forget to try that Italian hotdog!

      Staff is very friendly and quick to help!

      A consistent favorite. Food is really good and service is exceptional. Gene goes above and beyond if you have a large party or an event. Fun bar. Wish it were a little bigger.

      I have been to Francos many times over the last 10-15 years. I am not crazy about the pizzas here but the pastas and other menu items are very good. Spacious place, basically two in one. Right side is the pizzeria and left side is the dine In restaurant. Calzones are good too and very big!

      I have been wanting to try this place forever! I finally got there Sunday night. Unfortunately I was disappointed with my meal. The lobster ravioli wasn't for me. I didn't care for the sauce it was paired with or the overall taste of the dish. I did try my husband's cheese ravioli and they were delicious. He also enjoyed his meatballs. Staff was friendly and I liked the vibe here. We will be back in the future because I really want to give this place another shot!

      Catered lunch for 20 multiple times. Each meal was excellent! Worked with Gene and/or Alex to design a tasty menu, which was always enjoyed by all! Quality ingredients prepared well by people who care! Salads, chicken, pasta, desserts always freshly prepared. Looking forward to dining in some time soon!

      The food is delicious and the service was great. The seafood salad very fresh and a generous portion. The crab cakes was not my favorite. The taste was good, but I don't think it was lump crabmeat as described on the menu.
      It was alright but not a dish I would order again.
      They have a wide selection of brand liquor.
      I will definitely be back for dinner.

      I've been here several times. The food is very inconsistent: at times it is great other times it's not great. Small noisy dining area. I've ordered pizza here occasionally and it's ok but not the best.
