Franco Di Roma

Franco’ sauces are remarkable, his pasta dishes world class. Yesterday for dinner, K had stuffed shells. They exceeded expectation, subtly spiced and rich. Our salads were fresh and wonderful, accompanied by Franco’s balsamic house dressing (he also sells it by the bottle). But the best part was my simple sausage and pepper sub. I think it’s partly Franco’s sourcing- the sausage, like the balsamic vinegar and the fore-mentioned sauces, is definitely not your grocery store ordinary. And that’s what makes Franco’s extraordinary.

Since the makeover by Restaurant Impossible, their menu has been SIGNIFICANTLY cut back, and is all new. None of the old items are available. The new menu is delicious, just very small. The updated dining area is nice, but has no sound dampening, so it gets loud even if there aren't a lot of people. I still recommend it for the tasty unique menu though.

Recently went to have dinner with my son who requested to eat lasagna there. Have been coming here for over a decade food is always good but service has slowed down...Walked in and was told by young man will be seated in a few minutes. About 10 min went by and have yet to see anyone come to the front or even to be acknowledge.Left to go up the road where we were seated upon arrival.

This once was a pretty good place to eat, and it could be much better with some care and motivation. Right now, it suffers from very slow service, average food, and a couple of waitresses who seem distracted, annoyed, or as if they have much better things to do than take your order. Menu prices are about what you might expect. Takeout people get prioritized, it seems, along with large parties in dining areas. If you enjoy often over-baked pizza, limp and warm salad, lukewarm and watery soup, cold and dry pasta, rock hard bread, off-tasting cheese and sauce, and being ignored for extended stretches while listening to a questionably eclectic blend of musical selections, I can very highly recommend this place. Otherwise, consider other dining options.

Simple Traditional Italian dishes with some American touches. A real comfort food with familiar menu like from an Italian ‘mama’ ‘s kitchen. The dinner main course served with a choice of soup or salad. I took pasta (spaghetti) with garlic and oil with added shrimps. The portion was generous. It might need some more salt and pepper but it was my personal taste. The waitress was very kind.
