The Scene – A recent renovation has given this cozy neighborhood spot just a hint of glamour. The decor is dominated by shades of yellow and terra cotta.

Gracious, friendly service makes everyone--even first-timers--feel like regulars. – – The Food – This is no-frills, Italian-American food at its best. Start with a loaf of fragrant, pillowy focaccia bread. Skewers with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes topped with tangy…

GREAT customer service, wonderful food

by elmarki

Francos had a wine special, which we tasted, accepted, and had two glasses poured. We then realized we did not care for the wine. They took back the two glasses, did not charge us for them, and said "We just want you to be happy." We were! The food was wonderful, the service warm and perfect. We were so pleased and recommend this place highly. A grand neighborhood joint, with excellent food and a terrific atmosphere. Mangia!

Pros: Great place and grand service
Cons: None, highly recommended

Terrible food

by rjc08

I am really disappointed with the food and service. I was looking for a good italian food, but instead it looked liked it was a left over food that was re-heated. I complained to the manager and but instead I was given the attitude of "too bad, that's what we have". My experience is, terrible, bad, terrible.
