We just had our daughter’s baby shower here and I felt like I was at home. Marsha and Juan and all the staff were so attentive and helpful and fun. The food was amazing and the set up was perfect. We could not have chosen a more perfect venue. Thank you .

We have visited this restaurant several times before, but on Mother’s Day, we decided to dine upstairs and were pleasantly surprised. Wow, we were pleasantly surprised to see how beautifully decorated by the pictures on the wall, string lights and full bar. The area also allows for a ton of natural sunlight.

Franconello's: A Perfect Valentine's Evening My date and I recently celebrated Valentine's Day at Franconello's, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm and romantic atmosphere. The lighting was just right, creating an intimate ambiance perfect for a special occasion. The restaurant was buzzing with happy couples, but it still felt cozy and personal. We were immediately impressed by the service. Our server was incredibly patient and attentive, answering all our questions about the menu with a smile. They never rushed us, allowing us to savor each course and truly enjoy our time together. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Now, let's talk about the food! Every dish was absolutely delicious. We started with baked bread 🥖, which was cooked to perfection. For our main courses, I had the 3 cheese ravioli and chicken and my date enjoyed the salad. Both were incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. the pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich and flavorful, the chicken was cooked exactly as I requested. Overall, our Valentine's Day dinner at Franconello's was exceptional. The combination of the romantic atmosphere, the attentive and patient service, and the truly delicious food made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend Franconello's to anyone looking for a special dining experience, whether it's for a romantic occasion or simply a night out. We can't wait to go back!

“I really enjoyed the ambience and food from this place .”

I really enjoyed the ambience and food from this place . Traditional old fashioned Italian dining . Got the Cheese Tortellini with the marinara sauce and the Manicotti. But the best dish was definitely the Sausage Franconello . That dish really stood out to us the sausage was definitely homemade and had a lot of flavor . As a side we decided to get the Vezuio Potato’s I felt the sauce to that could have used a little bit more flavor but still very good . Dessert was pretty good too got the Pistachio Copa .

“Our favorite neighborhood “joint” for excellent Italian cuisine.”

Our favorite neighborhood “joint” for excellent Italian cuisine. First time trying the chop salad and was not disappointed, but if you are not a fan of olives, tell them to hold off. The only issue is it gets loud and you sometimes have to speak loud to be heard at your table. Otherwise enjoy!! Oh and by the way if you are hungry, order the chicken Parmesan - HUGE portion.

Return visit. Food was delicious, service very good. Only downside was the Mai Tai I ordered was overly boozy and just not drinkable. Server at first wasn't sure they could make it, so just make sure the bartender is skilled. Otherwise wonderful. First time here in a very long time. Everything was excellent, and the service was phenomenal. I'm definitely going to return. Halibut was cooked to perfection.

“I am always on the hunt for culinary gems that offer an unforgettable dining experience.”

I am always on the hunt for culinary gems that offer an unforgettable dining experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the best Italian restaurant in our neighborhood, and it exceeded all my expectations. This hidden gem managed to impress me in every way possible. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the staff, setting the tone for the evening. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. The scent of freshly baked bread and aromatic herbs wafted through the air, instantly whetting my appetite. Let's talk about the star of the show - the Cheese Ravioli. Tender pasta pillows filled with the most heavenly blend of ricotta and parmesan cheese, topped with a rich tomato-basil sauce that had us swooning with every bite. It was a symphony of flavors, and I couldn't get enough of it! However, the only minor hiccup in the otherwise perfect meal was the Shrimp Scampi. Little did we know that it was an appetizer, and our excitement turned into a slight disappointment when the portion arrived. But let me tell you, those plump, succulent shrimp sautéed in garlic butter were so tantalizing that we couldn't help but wish for more. A note to self for next time - order two portions! Despite the Scampi hiccup, everything else on the menu was just as impressive. From the velvety smooth Fettuccine Alfredo to the delectable Chicken Marsala, each dish was carefully crafted with love and expertise. Every bite seemed to tell a story of Italian tradition and culinary mastery. One thing that caught our attention was how obviously popular this restaurant is among both locals and celebrities alike. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but notice the walls adorned with autographed pictures of famous personalities who had dined here. From renowned actors to well-known musicians, this place seems to be a favorite among the stars, and now I understand why! So, you're in the mood for an unforgettable Italian culinary journey, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! Despite not knowing that the Shrimp Scampi was just an appetizer, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. The Cheese Ravioli alone is worth a visit, and the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. I can't wait to return to try more dishes and savor the flavors that left us enchanted and craving for more.

“The staff was absolutely fantastic.”

The staff was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive, very friendly, very fast. It's a bit loud in there so if you have trouble with hearing folks while in a noisy environment keep that in mind. Absolutely fantastic experience. This spot is a favorite for local friends of mine and I can see why.
