Farinelli Da Franco

Got pasta bolognaise, the worst kind i ever had. Pasta was undercooked, and the sauce was bland and tasted not good. Service no good - stay away....

I am living near by and we are guests at Franco's Almost every week! The atmosphere is relaxed and charming and the Service is good too. I Love The Pasta with Parmesan & Truffles! And the Lunch Menu price is amazing.

Been a few times, really enjoy the food and the ambiance in this restaurant. Had another pleasant evening, would always recommend ... and recommend to reserve as it is generally pretty difficult to get a table, especially on weekend evenings. View menu

2 dinners and a lunch in 4 days, all of them excellent. The food was really good and came often "piping hot". The service was very good and the prices are moderate. Noted were a great many of the guests spoke Italian, and the restaurant was packed for lunch and late dinners.

We visited this restraurant for dinner as a family 3 adults plus 2 children. Food was very tasty, winelist well prepared. Restaurant was full, but we reserved table in advance. The only problem was with service. Our waiter (Italian) was friendly, but didn't understand german and english very well, so we got some different meal than ordered. It was minor problem.

Nice big terrace, good service and good price. The food was what you would expect from a standard Italian restaurant. I had a salad and pasta but others eat the pizza which I will try next visit. Only negative point was that I... ordered the Amarone Delma Valpolicella and it was average to say the least I would not order this bottle again. It doesn't matter if I return! View menu

We went here every 2-3 weeks over the past few years and had almost everything from the menu. Definitenely one of the best pizzas in town. Service is not always the friendliest but that's the genuine italian experience ;-)Try truffel pasta and you won't be disappointed. Always packed, try to book a table in advance.Long term customers might get a space at Franco 's family table.

My experince here left me with mixed emotions. For starters the service was somewhat confused - 2 waiters would ask us the same questions within minutes of each other and than we would be left alone for extended periods. Knowing my dislike of warm red wine my colleague had informed the restaurant up front to cool 2 bottles of red wine to 18C. Upon our arrival we were then served 10-12C cold red wine....well at least they tried. The scallops we had as starters were extremely oily and with chili peppers which completely dominated the delicate taste of the scallops. The lamb to follow was however excellent! bathrooms are small and not very clean...

The restaurant is one of at least three Italian style restaurants in very close proximity so competition for customers is keen. The food is very good and the service friendly and quick. It is very popular with the locals so I'd recommend making a reservation if you choose to visit. Many of the standard Italian dinners are offered and the food is what I'd consider average. It is a good meeting place for drinks with friends prior to a night out or just to sit outside and enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. If given a choice, I'd prefer one of the many other Italian restaurants in St George. Parking here is in a neighborhood and at a premium. Driving is not recommended. View menu
