What a great restaurant. Fantastic service I met Pepe, Daniel, Lester and they were quality. The food was amazing from starter to desert. The cost was amazingly affordable and I would have been happy paying double for it. Would definitely recommend this place if you like Italian. Love love love

Pepe my absolute fave! What an an absolute angel with such a brilliant sense of humour! Daniel and Lester also such lovely people! What an entrance we recieved tonight followed by the most beautiful food! We had the Gamberoni starter followed by the Lasagne and Linguine Gamberoni! We finished this with an Espresso and 2 Limoncello shots! My word what a beautiful meal and fantastic service! Highly recommend! Affordable too to my surprise! I would have expected it to be more for the level of service and beautiful food! Thank you to the chefs for a beautiful meal! Me and my partner will be back!

Very friendly and professional staff. Good serving size and beautiful restaurant. Lots of local returning customers.

Taken there for my birthday by a regular for many years. Such lovely people, fantastic service and the food was amazing. Will definitely go back.

(For some reason I must have forgotten press the 'post' button) Anyway, I WILL BE BACK! Loved the food I had here. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful food. This is a family run Italian restaurant and they are extremely friendly and I like the fact that whatever food I chose in English they told me what it is called in Italian, that was a very nice touch to the whole experience. I learnt some new Italian words Everything was tasty, excellent quality, and fresh. My daughter had been twice before and brought my husband and I here. So I was already recommended Definitely not a disappointment. When the food is really good, anywhere I go, I like to meet the chef too. She was lovely too and the wife of the owner. Thank you again for a lovely meal.

This place is great. The service was superb my wife and I felt welcome and like home. The food was delicious. We ordered: burrata, mushroom cream soup, king prawns in garlic sauce, beef lasagne, and creme caramel. We also had the house wine from Sicilia. Toilets and kitchen looked and were clean. There were several tables for 1-2 people, and many other for medium parties 6-8 people. We were given a shot of lime liquor at the end. The only negative aspect of the visit is seeing some flies inside, they were annoying. Sadly, this part stuck in our heads. Maybe they could be more careful with the back door.

Fantastic Dining Experience at Da Franco! I had an amazing experience at Da Franco! The food was absolutely excellent—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The warm and friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. They were incredibly accommodating, even preparing a dish that wasn’t on the menu to suit my preferences. This level of service and attention to detail truly sets Da Franco apart. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning!

What a fabulous find. Lovely Italian restaurant serving delicious food. Good portions and my pistachio cake from the Amalfi cake makers was heavenly. Dan, his son and the staff were exceptional with their service. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis.
