| - MAGNIFICO!
If you are looking for great Italian, look no further than Franco's. Italy served on plate and doesn't get much more authentic without a 12 hour flight.
Post up at a corner table with fresh pressed white linens and make sure you wear roomy pants!
I've been here a few times with the same group of friends and I love the feel when you walk into the place. It's a quaint and intimate restaurant and make sure to make a reservation or be prepared to wait. If you opt for the latter - no worries- it's worth it!
Starting off with their traditional bruschetta is a must! The perfect concoction of simple spices, fresh tomatoes and onions, is to die for. I am personally not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I can't help but gobble them up in this dish. Simple delicious! Next try the bufala mozzarella and tomato, your tastebuds will thank you! Now on to the main course; pasta! Franco wakes up and makes homemade pasta every morning, and the fruits of his labor show! Any pasta dish you choose, will be sure delight you and send you into full comfort mode. This past weekend, my boyfriend and I couldn't decide on what to indulge in, so we decided to order two plates and share them. We dug into a heaping helping of the chicken contadina, and the filet. Perfectly cooked, fresh ingredients and we left with happy tummies... But not before dessert! Limoncello and the best mascarpone cheesecake I've ever put on a fork-completely fantastic, creamy and not too sweet.
Service has always been consistently on point and fun. Every server seems enthusiastic about the menu and the time and care that goes into preparing things.
Nestled in an old building in downtown Scottsdale, this place is perfect for a night out on the town with friends or a date!
Ciao!
