    For the price you pay, this place was super noisy. It was impossible to have a conversations because the tables are way too close. When paying through the nose for a meal,I expect better. The service wasn’t good,the waiting staff seemed too stressed or not bothered. Couldn’t wait for the order to be told. I had to literally call the gentleman back to order my side as he just left after hearing my mains order. The quality of the food was good so kudos to the chef!

    Food was okay. Service was very slow to non existent. For example, the waiter asked if I wanted olive oil for my salad which had no dressing. I said yes and he never brought it. The entire meal was like that.

    Food was good but it did feel like they were pushing the overpriced drinks and specials. Special was underwhelming and to this day, no idea how much it cost. Bill at the end was definitely higher than expected for the lunch we had.

    Seated in the cellar - no beef filet, no specials. Service was slow and forgot some drinks and sides. However the server did buy a round of drinks to apologize.

    Wonderful warm efficient friendly service. Food & wine delicious. The only niggle, a substantial one, is the noise level. The only way we could hear each other was to lean on the table & use hands to cup ears. The atmosphere is certainly jolly & enthusiastic but it’s a shame it makes conversation so difficult. All the staff deserve praise for being exceptionally kind

    Very nice food served very quickly and politely. We were sat outside which was a good option. The beef carpaccio was a great starter followed by the lobster linguini and the sweet was traditional Italian tiramisu All very good but a little pricey

    What’s lovely restaurant with attentive service and delicious food. I can’t rave enough about their Sicilian Canolo. The best canolo shell- thin and crisp and a complement not an overbearing part of the experience. The flavors of the canolo were perfect. Will be returning.

    First time at Franco's and it's now my new favourite. We picked a great evening to sit outside. We ran slightly late and had an unexpected visit from my brother who joined us. Nothing was too much trouble. Service and food were first class.
