Our favourite Italian restaurant - sadly it is 200 miles from home so our visits are not frequent, but never disappointing. Nothing particularly fancy just fabulous ingredients beautifully cooked - the veal chop was amazing - but amazing is routine. Don't miss the specials board. Very good wine list. And the staff? So friendly and efficient. A little gem.

Although we have been to this Restaurant many times for Lunch or Dinner, this was the first time we decided to book for New Year's Eve. We were a party of 10. As we walked into the Restaurant, we were warmly greeted by Daniel, the owner who makes you feel more like a friend than a customer. The Restaurant was beautifully decorated with Black & Gold balloons and other decorations all on the same theme. Tables were laid and looked very festive with hats, blowers, streamers, and lots of other novelty items. A glass of Prosecco and a nice choice of menu including Cream of Mushroom Soup, Devon Crab & Prawn Salad as Starters, Mains including Prime Surrey Sirloin Steak, Half a Duck in Morello Cherry Sauce and Desserts from the Trolley. Very good value at £65 per head. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. Staff all happy, smiling, polite and very helpful. Later in the evening, after people had finished eating, tables were moved to the sides of the Restaurant to make room for music and dancing. We all had a very enjoyable, fun time with very good food and excellent service.

We visited for my sisters birthday and had a lovely evening. There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant and the food was excellent. I asked for a dish that wasn’t on the menu but they were more than happy to do it for me. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I just need to go back as I couldn’t finish my main meal!

Great restaurant, highly recommend. Smart place, spacious, tables not too close to each other and lots of round tables which we like. Staff were friendly and attentive service. Food is excellent and there are specials of the day on offer. We had venison steak, requested rare and it was just right. Prawns served with head and tails removed if you don’t like dealing with them! Desserts were great…crème brûlée and tiramisu were the ones we had and they were excellent. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and the price is right at this place!

First visit for 3 of us, went on our friends recommendation. We had a table booked for 7pm on Wednesday, place wasn’t too busy so seated straight away, menus handed out and drinks were ordered. Great selection of starters, we had calamari, prawn&crab cocktail and Parma ham with melon. Potions were good, food was lovely. Mains we had porcini mushroom risotto, pancetta and mushroom tagliatelle and grilled liver with sides. Meals were fantastic, portions were huge, we couldn’t finish our plates. We had a breather before desserts and coffee but honestly this was such a lovely meal. We weren’t made to feel rushed, took our time and all staff were chatty, friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to return.

We arrived at 8 pm. Restaurant was busy - service slow. 9 pm we were still waiting for our starters. Asked for more bread. Mains arrived - Dover sole looked amazing as did my three friends. Mine was disappointing- sirloin steak with pepper sauce. Overcooked, fatty and just not very nice. Salad was warm and ok. Not great but ok. They did offer to re cook but after waiting so long I just got on with trying to eat some. I’ve had this many times previous but this was the worst. However, others in my party enjoyed their hot meal - maybe it was what I had ordered. Bill was way more expensive than it used to be. Nearing £100 for two. I had a glass of wine, my partner fizzy water. Perhaps time for a change,

Friendly welcome and attentive service. Huge variety of all Italian food. It is family-run and a lady in the kitchen really knows her cipolle! I had a veal escallop which was huge but I found it a bit dry. Desserts were great as were the starters. I was very noisy so not the place for a quiet twosome.

Me llevaron al Franco's en Friern Barnet para una cena de cumpleaños. ¡Qué hermoso lugar! Es Covid seguro con pantallas entre la mesa y todo el personal llevaba máscaras. Nos recibieron calurosamente, nos llevaron a una mesa, nos dieron un menú (recubierto de plástico para facilitar la desinfección) y nos dejaron decidir qué comer. Nuestro camarero, Lester, fue amable y atento sin apresurarnos. Todo el personal fue agradable y el chef merece una medalla cocinando todo por encargo. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa. Me sentí un poco avergonzado cuando se apagaron las luces y me cantaron feliz cumpleaños. Aunque un buen toque. Las diez pasaron demasiado rápido, así que nos despedimos y nos marchamos después de una comida y una experiencia fabulosas.

Nos estábamos quedando cerca y encontramos este restaurante italiano a poca distancia. Después de leer las críticas entusiastas de TA, llamé para reservar una mesa a mitad de semana. En general, teníamos algunas dudas sobre comer dentro de un restaurante. Cuando llegamos, estaba bastante ocupado con familias y parejas. No es enorme por dentro, pero tenía pantallas de metacrilato portátiles entre las mesas, por lo que se veía y se sentía bastante seguro. Estaba un poco preocupado de que no nos pidieran los detalles de seguimiento y rastreo, aunque tenían mi número de móvil de la reserva. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa que tenía una de las pantallas entre ella y la mesa de al lado. Todo el personal fue muy amable y nos sentimos como en casa de inmediato. A juzgar por las conversaciones y los saludos, parecía que muchos de los comensales eran "clientes habituales", lo que siempre es una buena señal en un restaurante local.Pedimos nuestras bebidas. No tenían jugo de naranja para mí, pero el camarero amablemente dijo que exprimirían algunas naranjas y el camarero se puso a trabajar. Eso es servicio.Teníamos pan y mantequilla gratuitos. Pedimos entrantes de paté con tostadas y espárragos con queso, sabrosos y apetitosos. Para platos principales pedimos espaguetis con marisco mixto y langostinos y patatas fritas. ¡Mi pasta de mariscos era INCREÍBLE! Estaba repleto de mejillones, calamares, gambas y vieiras y lo disfruté muchísimo. No pude comer toda la pasta, pero comí hasta el último trozo de marisco. ¡Definitivamente el mejor que he tenido!Estábamos tan llenos que lamentablemente no pudimos manejar un dulce. La factura total con bebidas fue de aproximadamente 70. Buena relación calidad-precio para una comida fabulosa. El servicio fue amable y eficiente. Gracias a todos los involucrados. Volveremos el año que viene.

Nada es un problema, incluidas opciones sin gluten, un menú amplio, comida memorable (por las razones correctas) y, aunque no le habíamos dicho al personal al hacer la reserva, se pusieron manos a la obra e hicieron la vela del pastel y la música con buen gusto.

Following a warm welcome last Saturday we were quickly seated, breads served and drinks order taken. After we settled, the Specials Board was brought andwe made our selections. As the restaurant filled up the noise level built up so high and conversation became difficult. People on adjoining tables were shouting at each other to make themselves heard. The food was really good and I had a super chicken liver pate. My veal escalope as slightly undercooked but still very tasty.

I really really want to like this restaurant, I love Italian and it is so close.....but the food, decor, atmosphere just seems so stuck in the 70s. Although the average customer seems quite old so maybe there’s a nostalgia there. The menu and wine list are very limited, no children’s menu and the food average at best. I had a fish that was so dry it was inedible. Service is hit and miss too bordering on very helpful at times to basil fawlty at others. I’d like to think it was a one off but every time I’ve tried the restaurant over the last 15 years thinking it would be better, we’ll it just isn’t. That said, it has its clientele it seems who like this and it’s always busy so up to you.

If you like a plate full of food, regardless of the quality, this place is for you. As far as I am concerned, it serves the worst food I have ever had in a restaurant and is not cheap. The veal escolope was probably re-heated in the microwave from frozen, as it was wet and tastless. The pasta that came with it, was drowned in a tasteless sauce. The owner keeps the restaurant busy, by making sure he kisses and cuddles all the local clientele.

WOW!! WOW!! If you want an authentic, mama cooked Italian meal, this is the place to go! I can’t believe I haven’t been there before! Everything is so Italian! The atmosphere; the waiters; the food; even the noise. If you haven’t been, go! If you...

Excellent meal and service. Four of us went on a Tuesday night in October. The food was really lovely. I had the Veal chop with rosemary and garlic and was excellent quality and food portion. The vegetables(which we were get charged separately) were excellent, I had the garlic spinach, zucchini and freshly cut chips, all of which were superb (yet does put up the price of the meal by a bit). The rest of our party really enjoyed their meal. The restaurant wasn't very busy, yet it was a Tuesday evening yet on the plus side we were really well served.

Mi familia ha estado viniendo aquí durante 30 años. . . . . Así que esta crítica es desde hace mucho tiempo! Una amplia selección de comida maravillosa, además de todos los días especiales. emocionante Un servicio de primera categoría, buenos vinos, platos calientes, comida deliciosa y un propietario simpático a mano para ofrecer consejos con opciones - Este gana. Añadir a esto un variado menú de postres y un buen café. . . . . . necesito decir más? Ir allí y probar por ti mismo - ¡no te decepcionará!

Simplemente no puedes ir mal aquí, desde los camareros hasta la comida complaciente hacia el maravilloso entorno deliciosas dentro. Gran lugar para venir solo, con amigos y con la familia. Se adapta perfectamente a cada necesidad. El mejor momento para venir es por la noche cuando las luces se apagaron y la música siempre parece encajar perfectamente.

We've been coming here for a long time now and the food is always superb. No matter what you order, it is always cooked to perfection. When you walk in you are greeted and treated like family. What a great restaurant.

Returned to a great restaurant with family and as before not disappointed!The staff are lovely and the owner is always nearby to help if you get stuck for choice re the menu!! Great service and lovely food. Terrific starters and great main courses all presented on blackboards showing specialities plus menu with extra choices. Never disappointing with such variations. Great crab salad with or without avocado plus perfectly cooked asparagus looking delish and tempting carrot soup plus even more. My choice tonight was Saltimboca ala Romana with a selection of varied vegetables - others in the family chose calves liver, gorgeous chicken in mushroom sauce, veal ala milanese and huge lamb chops looking so tasty. All finished off with Crème brulee to die for, Tiramisu and other desserts. Coffees served with mints and mini arametto biscuits and finally lovely licquers... Will have to let this all go down and then look forward to a return to a lovely restaurant very soon.

I use this restaurant about 3 times a month and have done so for about the last 5 years for social and business meals.The food, the staff (no waitresses),the service and the ambience are all top notch. Reading some of the less favourable reviews they must be written by morons who visited a different Italian restaurant just around the corner from Da Franco, and I would agree it refers to that one.

お友達の家の近くにあり、友達が美味しいというので一緒に行きました。スターターにアボカドとクラブのコクテルサラダを頼みメインにはシーバスを頼みスパゲッティを添えてもらいましたが、スターターはコクテルソースがたっぷりかかっていてアボカドのクリーミーさとマッチして美味しく、メインディッシュのシーバスも美味しく料理されていました。ただ量がたっぷりあるので、日本人女性のランチとしてはメインだけでも十分お腹いっぱいになると思います。添えたパスタはプレーンにしてしまったので淡白な感じになってしまいました。トマトソースベースのを添えてもらえばよかったな〜と少し後悔しました。何を添えますか?と聞かれます。ポテトや野菜などお好みの物を添えられますが、パスタを添えてもらう場合はもちろんお好みですがトマトベースやペペロンチーノにしてもらう方が個人的にはオススメです。お店の雰囲気はこじんまりとして可愛らしくヨーロッパ人が落ち着いてランチやディナーを楽しめる雰囲気になっています

My family and I went to Da Franco for my birthday lunch, 6 adults and an infant. Danny the owner and his staff made the baby a special lunch on request which she loved and our food was exquisite and the service amazing.

First visit here and it was spot on! Food is amazing, great selection, authentic and very generous portions. We had a large table and the staff were excellent making sure we all had table water, extra veggies, and anything we needed! As it was for sister in law's birthday, they even dimmed the lights and sung happy birthday whilst bringing the cake out! Recommend a visit for sure!

Stepping into this restaurant I could just as easily been in Italy, It felt just as authentic.We were welcomed with a friendly face and quickly settled in. Our service was very professional and helpful. Drinks came quickly, and our Prosecco was perfectly chilled.Our food order arrived exactly as presented on the diverse menu, and our meals were cooked to perfection. Our steaks and skates were delicious. Overall the staff were attentive and friendly. This is a small restaurant and it was packed on this Saturday night. That made it just a bit noisy but clearly everybody was having a good time. Da Franco claims to be 'The Traditional Taste of Italy' I couldn't agree more.
