Wonderful experience! We chose here because of their extensive options for our friends who eat gluten free. It did not disappoint. Their drinks and desserts are great as well!

We love this restaurant! It’s our “go to” place when meeting our NJ kids for dinner. Great food and excellent service. Wish it was on Long Island.

It was New Years Eve. Packed. We were seated one half hour after our early reservation. However, once seated the service was impeccable and the food was excellent.

Dined here early on New Year’s Eve and it was the perfect way to start the New Year. Our family has been frequent patrons for over 50 years, and Franco’s continues to deliver guaranteed quality every single time. The food is consistently excellent, portions are generous, and the service is warm and welcoming—you’re truly greeted like family. A heartfelt thank you to Gene and his family for maintaining such a special place. Franco’s remains a timeless favorite.

First time at Franco’s. Delicious food and great value. Wonderfully fresh flavors. They have the best meatballs - perfect consistency and seasoning. Even though we had lunch portions, most took some home. Loved the spiciness of the chicken scarpariello. Can’t wait to return.
