Franco's Ristorante Pizzeria in Hyndburn

We absolutely couldn’t recommend Francos enough! We have been at least twice a month for the past three years and we have never had a bad meal! Everything is made fresh so you can add or remove any ingredients from almost any dish. The whole staff are all absolutely fantastic and couldn’t be more accommodating! The atmosphere is beautifully cozy and welcoming, the perfect amount of intimate without feeling crowded. Brilliant for absolutely any occasion, date night, birthday meal, get together, Francos is the most perfect place. Although having been open for 35 years it speaks for itself🤍

So , ordered through just eat tracked it, sat for 20 mins on the street that was the same name as mine but different town. At this point I knew it, drivers gone to wrong address, he's not checked the post code and is driving round looking for number 8. So I rings francos, from the get go service was fantastic, manners, communication and they was so apologetic. He offered me wine or anything else I wanted but I didn't agree to it as I knew it really wasn't, I understand and there's no rush etc I'm still happy to wait for the food. So the lad on phone says they'll make fresh and one of there own will bring it straight away. Didn't wait that much longer and he was at door and the poor lad had got a taxi! The food came piping hot and he'd put 2 bottles of coke in. If it weren't for just eat staff it would of been a fantastic furdt experience ordering francos on just eat. Let's admit it, we've all been waiting for francos to deliver for ages!! I will still get francos no matter what and have done for years I hope they get there money back off just eat and I hope that deliver driver stands on a plug 🙂

Really good early evening meal. Scallops with black pudding, mushrooms in blue cheese, gnocchi with chicken & calzone with French fries. Gin and tonic, orange and lemonade, large glass of red, plus desert and coffees.

Food was gorgeous. Staff were nice and friendly.

Late decision to go out for food and thought we would give Francos a go, staff couldn't have been more friendly throughout our visit. Drinks order taken, reasonably priced for a restaurant, looked through menu, Lots of choice. Husband had his go to dish of lasagne and I had farfella al funghi and shared garlic bread. Oh my days delicious, the pasta had infused with mushrooms and tasted amazing. Lasagne in his words was bangin! We will definitely be returning.

Nice & cosy restaurant food was very nice and fresh Staff were very nice & helpful too. Would highly recommend.

Food is amazing and have been many time, but personally found service really poor on my most recent visit. We were made to wait 30 minutes (no issue with this really) but when a table became available was not alerted. In the end left without ordering due to poor placement of table we were eventually allocated, as well as staffs attitude towards our query (about why we'd been left waiting). Smirks as we left, not nice!

Came for a celebration, the tables weren’t the best and the seating was uncomfortable, it wasn’t thought out well for how many people we had. The food this time was so bland it really wasn’t great at all .

The menu has changed since we last visited. In our opinion the food was not as good.

Met up with friends and went to Francos in Oswaldtwistle. Staff really friendly, atmosphere very relaxed and food was great. All came piping hot. I was meant to take pictures of my main but I forgot! All lovely though abd everyone enjoyed it.

We have been coming to our local restaurant for over 30 years. The original owners are now enjoying a well earned retirement. Steph & her team are doing a fantastic job. Any changes have been gradual & sympathetic. The menu has had some changes but any old favourites will be accommodated if the produce is available. The food prices have increased, but haven’t all our shopping bills. On Friday night we went to celebrate our friend’s huge success & we were not disappointed. The food, service & atmosphere was spot on. A great night was had by all. Thankyou we highly recommend this fabulous restaurant.

Last minute decision to go here for an impromptu meal... having not booked we waited about half an hour for a table,but so glad we did...the food(cajun chicken penne and beef tagliatelle plus a garlic bread n fries) was superb,hot and delicious.and at just over 20quid each(plus a tip) including a drink,really good value. Definitely worth a visit.

My 4th visit to Franco's with family. Always great food, outstanding service from Steph and the team. We will of course return!

As always, Franco's never fails to please, good food, good service and at a reasonable price, love it!!!

Meal was good, although the price has gone up again. Music ended when the chef finished and the staff all keen to get home so had their coats on. Pretty much brushed out into the street even though we said our lift had not yet arrived. Obviously happy to have two women stood in their dark car park so they can get home. Won’t be going back.

From my 10 year old son: My food was pretty good but my drink was BRiLliAnT and I had a good time. My family enjoyed it too. We were the first here and the waiter had to barge the door to open it because of the wind, which was pretty funny.

Best Italian restaurant around, food is amazing and the staff are fantastic

Been here loads of times but tonight was rubbish menu had changed slightly so couldnt have my usual not a problem but i choose chicken instead carrots hard but could eat .Broccoli so hard inedible and chicken poor no gravy apparently extra ! spaghetti short on meat garlic mushrooms not as good as usual Very dissapointed as this has always been our go to place

Great place. Always a good atmosphere. Can't go wrong. Excellent host's.

A fabulous evening at Francos, the food and service was excellent.

Been going for more then 20 years, and always very good ,that's why it's ossys best, always busy with an brilliant atmosphere 👏 👌

Food was gorgeous, staff were amazing. Started out Christmas festivities off with the most lovely evening with my girlfriends. Will be back asap

Fantastic food and good quality service

Great service, very helpful staff Don't need to Book, Great selection of meals, piping hot love it Not expensive, realaxed atmosphere,👍😃

Visited with my partner ( who’s birthday it was) and a friend, was greeted immediately and shown to a table, restaurant was clean, the decor is amazing, drinks order taken within a few minutes and arrived soon after all 3 drinks we’re lovely. Food order taken by stacey, what a lovely staff member very personable as if we had been friends years, this young women is a credit to your business and deserves a big shout out, food we had were - starters were bruschetta, and cheesy garlic bread all very tasty, mains were cannelloni, salmon and mushroom pasta, deserts were apple and cinnamon crumble and ice cream, all food was lovely and cooked to perfection. We were extremely well looked after from start to finish, also need to give a shout out to the young lad ( sorry we never got your name) that brought out our deserts he was as lovely as stacey, want to say a big thankyou for the happy birthday you sang to my partner it was a great touch. I hope the owners / managers know how much of a great staff team you have you can see all the staff actually really enjoy their jobs. Again thank you Francos for a lovely evening . See you again soon

Always great. Fab service, great food and awesome atmosphere. The place to visit in Ossy

Francos is such a lovely restaurant and still is. We arrived tonight to be greeted by Giovanni who always gives everyone a warm welcome & is such a lovely gentleman. We chose starters and main meals and shared a desert all of these were really nice. It was mid week and the place started getting quite busy which was good to see a local business getting on its feet again post pandemic & long may it continue 💕

Fab place, quick service food was lovely, big portion sizes. Prices are comparable with the area. Staff were friendly & helpful.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Lovely food brilliant staff good value

Food was excellent and well priced. We ordered the pizzas and one was gluten free. Both had been perfectly cooked and fresh. Restaurant staff are friendly and the food did not take long to come out. Would highly recommend 👌

14 of us dined there this evening. We had 2 starters, 4 mains, 4 desserts and 1 glass of wine for £85. I think that is fair value compared to the majority of restaurants. Everyone enjoyed there meals in a nice friendly atmosphere.

I had no idea this place existed until a friend invited me for tea and it was absolutely stunning. The people serving were really friendly and helpful, the food was incredible and we couldn’t believe how reasonably priced it was! Plenty of choice and everything was delicious. We also liked that the main meals came as a choice of small or large, all of ours were “small” but definitely enough! Would also like if they offered custard with the crumble. Will definitely return!

Amazing good food, nice atmosphere. Helpful service

Such a shame the food let it down , the garlic mushrooms were very bland , the sauce was thick and no taste , would’ve been better with fresh garlic and fresh herbs and the sauce less thick and more flavour. Had the pizza and asked for fresh garlic , it was lazy garlic , which does not give it a good flavour also the cheese they used on the pizza and garlic bread tasted strange , had an unpleasant texture and was certainly not authentic mozzarella cheese ! If they changed to fresh garlic and real mozzarella cheese I would go back as the place was great , little dated but the staff and atmosphere was great

As per usual, excellent night again. Very good meal.

We had a group of 25 on a Sunday night and every single person had a delicious meal, one of the lovely ladies even got colouring things for the kids and took photos for us as it was a farewell meal. Infallible food, incredible value and beautiful atmosphere/staff. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, which came really quickly. The staff were so nice and gave the children so colours and book so that we could all chat to our group of friends. I can honestly say if you have never been you are definately missing out. Highly recommended

Lovely welcoming restaurant with a great atmosphere, we had olives to share as a starter, canelloni and steak for main and lemon sorbet and sticky toffee pudding for desert, perfect portiin sizes all tasty and fresh, loved it

Fabulous family meal. Superb attentive and fun waiter.. food excellent. Good value

Great food and friendly staff.was quite cheap as well but the food was lovely.

Loved the atmosphere in Franco's! The staff are something else - I've never felt so attended to, nothing was too much for them. Special mention to Stacey who really took the time out to chat with us and just clearly loved her job. The food was great and I was bowled over by how reasonable the price was. Will definitely be back!

Amazing from start to finish, seated immediately to a lovely clean table, menus brought straight away, drink order taken no wait at all. Starter was a garlic bread with half of it having cheese on, lovely tasty and hot. Mains were chicken pasta in a tomato, garlic and chilli sauce, very tasty and filling. Deserts were the edible garden, this was presented lovely and was tasty with edible sugar bugs. All the staff and the new owners were lovely and friendly, but would like to give a big thankyou and shout out to stacey who made sure our evening was lovely, she is a credit to the owners and an asset to your business. We will definitely be returning. Thankyou again Francos

Really lovely and quite cheap, they do small and large portions which is perfect for children / small eaters.

Absolutely amazing time at Franco's The food and service were fantastic and all for great price. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal at affordable prices. Think we've found our new favourite restaurant and will be booking again soon. Thank you to all the staff. Defo 5 stars from us.

Beautiful meal tonight at Franco's. Lovely welcoming staff & excellent food. Will be returning very soon 10 out of 10.

Always a pleasure to visit and eat here. Food was very tasty and filling. Staff helpful, knowledgeable, polite, efficient and thoughtful. A clean, comfortably warm and friendly environment, and very happy to go again.

Visited this restaurant for the first time 30/03/2023 for a family meal for husbands birthday and will definitely be back. This place is excellent ,a pleasant welcome on arrival, staff very helpful/ friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. Restaurant has a lovely warm atmosphere Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

We have visited twice both times we booked last minute and both times we have been accommodated. The food has been lovely each time and you can physically see how hard the kitchen staff work. You can see the staff and the kitchen communicate well. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is good.

Superb food lovely people ... highly recommended.

Excellent all round, would recommend if anyone hasn't been.

Very accommodating helpful staff. Even though very busy with a full resteraunt they still had time to smile and make an evening 👍

Turned up to Franco's on a busy Saturday night to find out we hadn't booked, one of our party of 6 had forgotten 😳 The staff were extremely accommodating and rallied to find a table for us, they were extremely helpful and friendly. The service was brilliant and the food on every course delicious. We had a lovely evening. Thank you to all the staff.

Good food, great staff, had a fab time, definitely going again very soon 😀

My first visit to this place. Quite impressed by the menu. Italian is not my favourite but I enjoyed the starter and main course I had It appeared to be very busy but the service was excellent and prompt. Recommend booking if possible before you go.

Impromptu visit with the fam, first time we have been since new management have been in, and it was great

My wife rang at approximately 6pm to ask how long the wait would be for a table for two, (they only take bookings for parties of 4 or more). She was told if we arrived in the next half an hour we might have a short wait of half an hour or less. We arrived to be told we would have to wait due it being busy and told to go upstairs and order drinks. . We didn’t mind the wait however after waiting for over an hour, I approached the woman at front of house to ask how much longer we would have to wait. She told us that there were still 2 couples before us! We have been regular customers for nearly 4 years since moving to the area and until change of ownership we have never had any issues. The food and service had always been excellent. They need to have a more organised booking system or tell people that they’re fully booked when they’re that busy. We ended up leaving without eating and by then it was too late to go elsewhere.

Lovely restaurant, with great priced food , very friendly waiters , nice atmosphere .

Always good food and good service

An excellent traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of East Lancashire - good service, excellent food at reasonable prices! Would thoroughly recommend but book as it gets busy!

Food is incredibly well priced, extremely warm atmosphere, the staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going here again!

1st time here friday before going on to show at civic art centre lovely food and very friendly staff great atmosphere will go again

Lovely staff. Food decent. A nice little gem in ossy

Visited with family last Friday night . Asked for a table for 5 at 5.30 pm but were pushed forward to 5pm . Not a big deal for us . Food was very good and the service was fine . Reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because we were served by 5 different members of staff . Two young lads served us mechanically , no great charisma and interest in us at all . Overall well worth recommending as a good valued Italian restaurant

The best resturant and Italian ever. The food has always been amazing, the wine and beer selection is great. The atmosphere is brilliant. Franco, his wife and his team are 10 out of 10.

Excellent will be back shortly !! Thanks to "Kim" & staff !

Beautiful food and wonderful service

We dined here over the weekend and if I'm honest all a bit bland,food not seasoned, sauces for my money definitely not home made, tasted bought in ,won't be back ,sorry but not for us

Been coming for years, another fantastic visit. Food excellent and staff are just wonderful, nothing is to much trouble.

Been going to Franco’s for years and it is always stellar. Visited again in July this year and the staff are friendly, food brilliant and the prices reasonable.

I’ve been coming to Franco’s for many years and have never been disappointed. Visited recently with my partner and as always the food was great, the staff really friendly and all at a reasonable price.

Average. But nice food. Never been before. And would go again. Not overpriced and nice staff. 1st time here. They are very accommodating and will alter your dish to your taste. It is not exceptional. But if you want to treat yourself for a reasonable price. It is still a nice go to place.

Excellent as always, delicious Italian food and first class service and great value.

Great value and nice family atmosphere. My partner and her family have been coming here for years and it's easy to see why. The staff are really friendly, they're happy with kids around and you can't fault the quality for the value, so every time we come it's always an all round pleasant experience

Great staff friendly Food Amazing. They always welcome us and our young person Liam who is Disabled. The smile on his face as we enter Francos says it all. Its definitely Wheelchair friendly.

An impromptu little visit, all had a lovely pizza. Booked an hour before and given a great seat, always fantastic at Francos

Excellent Italian restaurant, delicious food, great atmosphere and really quick service.

Everything we ordered was really good as always great staff always friendly as is Kim

Food is amazing fresh as it comes! Highly recommend

Amazing food, delightful and friendly staff. An absolute top-tier meal and evening, thank you.

Very friendly welcome, lovely surroundings and great food

First visit with a friend who has been going here for approximately 25 years. Absolutely amazing food and service and the staff so very lovely.

Always friendly, great service and good Italian food.

Outstanding Italian restaurant. Down to earth friendly and professional. Food was the best I've ever had! We will be back.

First time this evening at Francos, really impressed, very nice food and exceptional service

Amazing staff with even more amazing food

went to Franco’s for a date night with my other half last Saturday now this sounds like a weird complaint but the food was far too quick and not great quality. We ordered starters and less than 3 minutes they were at the table. My Brie starter was defiantly not fresh it tasted pre-made or frozen which is disappointing as we came to francos last year and I got the Brie and it was great. The mains were out even quicker. Me and my partner had drinks and 2 courses in half an hour we barely felt like we’d had a date. Felt very rushed and The food was nothing like what we had last time we went. so disappointed.

Had a lovely evening food was great staff very friendly.

Amazing ! Food is great, plates are pristine someone deserves a raise

Beautiful restaurant, amazing staff and the food is another level of flavour and premium meals. Couldn't recommend anywhere else!!

Stunning food, great service and the food was ready to collect when they promised. Soo tasty, the spicy sausage was a favourite but was soo hard to pick a favourite because it was all stunning. Very helpful staff and the restaurant looked like a nice place to try next time we're having an Italian.

Fantastic food brilliant service best i have had in long time

Always a pleasure to visit Franco's It used to be just two of us but now we take the whole family who enjoy it every time. Food is very well presented and the staff are amazing throughout your stay

An all round excellent experience, from the minute you enter to the time you must leave you will have a wonderful time. Food is amazing and cooked fresh, staff are so friendly and welcoming. The best Italian restaurant for miles. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent food, shame about the service. We booked here for a hen do but they had a party of 30 upstairs. It took them half an hour to get our drinks ordered another 20 mins to order our food. And we had to keep asking them when the food was coming. Let's just hope we don't get a parking fine for overstaying at the 2 hour parking car park behind.

We booked for a hen party of 9 people. The table wasn't ready for 7pm, the booked time, they also had a large private party of 30 people for a birthday party as as the usual Saturday evening crowd. As s result the service left s lot to be desired as they were obviously short staffed. We arrived at 7pm. The table was ready for around 7.10pm. We had to ask a server after 20 minutes to take our drink orders. We had to chase the drink orders with the server taking our menu order 20 minutes after our drink order was put in. Our starters came to the table 30 minutes after ordering. Our main meals came more than an hour after our starters. By this time the birthday party had broken up but the damage was done. The food was OK but not worth a 3.5 hour stay at the restaurant. Overall, very disappointing

Really tasty meal for not a lot of money , definitely recommend

Great atmosphere food excellent staff very friendly and helpful

Great food and brilliant service
