Just went to Franco's this past Thursday. Very good service and friendly. Glad to see the owner greeting customers and helping serve the tables. Unfortunately, the dinner was good, but not spectacular.
We started with the grilled calamari and the polenta appetizers. The calamari were four small pieces placed on some arugula. Polenta was served with gorgonzola and is less firm than I am used to. The polenta came after the calamari and was not as warm as it should be. Probably was sitting for a bit.
For dinner, we had the veal chop, the rigatoni special and the seafood risotto. Seafood risotto was probably the best out of the three. All good, but not great. Risotto was just right and creamy. Rigatoni was made with a chicken and leek ragu. Pasta was cooked al dente as it should be, but the dish was a bit too dry. I don't like a lot of sauce, but this was not even enough to flavor the whole pasta. Dish was a little bland. The veal chop was cooked to my liking, but was not as tender or full of flavor as I would expect at this restaurant.
Still waiting to find a really good Italian restaurant in this town
