Really good meal with superb service!
As frequent eater of Italian food, I can vouch for Franco's.
I give the food 3.5 stars and the service 5.
For my entree, I tried the linguine with clams in a red sauce. Pasta was cooked to perfection and complemented with fresh clams (which I always love). While I thought the entree was good, it could have used a little more sauce and flavor...didn't see any fresh garlic in the dish.
In comparison to other restaurants in the area, the portion was on the smaller side but still adequate by all means. But this is the case with most restaurants that pride themselves on the quality of their food instead of their portion size.
The restaurant has a good selection of Italian wines by the bottle and glass.
Overall, I had a great experience at this restaurant. The friendly atmosphere and excellent service truly distinguish this restaurant from others.
Franco's is definitely 1 of the top 2 choices for Italian in the Old Town area.
This place is always busy and fairly small so reservations are highly recommended (especially towards the end of the week).
