I have always enjoyed Franco’s and don’t go often enough. Enjoyed a Salad with Grilled Tuna. Delicious! Great light lunch with warm bread. Perfect! Decor has not changed in years. Almost feels like you’re not in Norfolk

We did some research before deciding to visit Francos and we are very glad we did. The food is made to order, the portions are huge, and the service was excellent. We would definitely visit again!

Food is okay if you don't mind that the staff does not wear gloves. And rarely do they wash their hands. Frank Musiello is the owner and if you need his name here it is. Thanks for all your help ladies.

This is a small, family owned place with freshly prepared dishes. Everything on the menu is awesome! Five stars, because nothing is left to be desired when dining here. Quaint atmosphere and the best pasta dishes in town (I think the chicken parm is my favorite) make it a regular place to dine for me.
