    It was a wonderful surprise. It is located close to home; so, now, I consider it a neighborhood gem. The service, food and ambiance was excellent. The music was soothing and classic. I look forward to dining on the 2nd floor patio the next time I visit. I will definitely be going back and adding it to my list of favorites!

    We love Franconello's. We went there on Father's Day and they were understaffed so service was slower than usual. We also had a problem because the meal that I ordered had spicy italian sausage in it and I was not warned that it would be spicy.

    Had a great time with the wife and kids. The food was great as well as the service. I will most certainly return……without the kids.

    The food was really good I was just disappointed because I got the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and they charged $8 extra for the shrimp and there was barely any shrimp in there.

    I had the pleasure of dining at Francanello’s today for lunch with a friend, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We began with whiskey sours that were perfectly balanced—smooth, strong, and refreshing. The fried calamari was crisp and tender, setting a great tone for the rest of the meal. For our main courses, the chicken marsala stood out with its rich, flavorful sauce, and the shrimp fra diavolo brought a creative, delicious twist. We also shared a side of meatballs—juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The star of the meal, however, was the pork chop Vesuvio—succulent, hearty, and packed with bold, garlicky flavor. Everything was served hot, seasoned beautifully, and presented with pride. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I left completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Francanello’s is a true gem for Italian cuisine lovers.

    Our dinner was delicious ordered veal limone and salmon. The prices are on the high end but was worth it. It was difficult to see the menu because the restaurant was very dark.
