We stopped by spontaneously for lunch and were very impressed by Franco’s. The staff is very friendly and professional and make you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door. The restaurant is cozy even though it was very busy at the time. The menu is extensive but our waiter gave great suggestions. The wine menu is excellent as well. We will definitely come back.

Came here for lunch with some friends. We ordered green leaf salad, burrata and octopus carpaccio to start with. I absolutely loved the burrata! My main was the pappardelle dish and it was very tasty, I finished it all. I did try a bite of other dishes too and they all tasted great, the salmon had a really nice crispy skin and was seasoned very nicely. The lobster linguine had a nice amount of kick to it, and the lasagna was delicious but would be too heavy for me personally as a lunch item, would do great as a dinner meal for us.

Crème brulée was yummy, and the special dessert of the day was so good!

Very pleased with my meal here. We sat outside and they do have space heaters if you get cold.

I visited for dinner and pleased it was a wonderful experience.
Both the service and food were impeccable, the restaurant ambiance very inviting.
The staff were very welcoming and attentive, just the right level without being intrusive.
The food was amazing, all courses were delicious and beautifully presented. I ordered a couple of dishes recommended to me by an Italian work colleague and I’m very pleased that I tried them, they were very tasty.
I will definitely recommend Franco’s to others, and will make return visit - thank you.

My go-to spot in London for everything from business breakfast to evening cocktails with my girlfriends. Franco's has the absolute best classic cocktail menu with incredible alcohol-free options making it the perfect spot to enjoy some terrace drinks with drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

The menu is true authentic Italian and alongside classic dishes and indulgent pasta they always have some lighter and healthy options which I love.

However light a main a might choose, I will always finish my visit with their affogato which is, in my opinion, the best in London!
A must visit for tourists and a firm favourite for locals.
