My wife and I are foodies and have been to some of the most highly rated restaurants in Phoenix (including North), but the two of us can easily say that Franco's is our favorite Italian restaurant in the city. The food is superb: the steak Florentine, which was perfectly seasoned and prepared, is hands-down the best I have ever had. However, we were equally impressed with the service. The restaurant is family-owned, and the owners take a genuine interest in their patrons' dining experience. Franco came by to make sure everything was to our liking, and Franco's daughter surprised us with dessert and limoncello for our anniversary. I cannot recommend the place highly enough. Go--you will be so glad you did!
