Don't miss the Fried Artichokes, a crispy, herb-infused treat that awakens the palate.
mains
Franny's mains are a celebration of Italian culinary heritage with a focus on fresh, seasonal produce and exquisitely prepared seafood and pasta dishes. The Clam Pizza, topped with plump clams, tomato sauce, mozzarella, oregano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, offers a coastal twist on a classic. Pasta lovers can dive into the Spaghetti with Ramps and Spring Herbs, a fragrant combination of tender spaghetti, wild ramps, garlic, and olive oil. For a wholesome indulgence, the Ricotta Gnocchi with Stinging Nettles features pillowy gnocchi in a buttery Parmigiano-Reggiano sauce. The Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe combines simple ingredients—Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper—with perfectly cooked spaghetti to create a dish of pure comfort. Seafood aficionados will appreciate the Spaghetti with Seabream and Agretti, which balances tender fish, salty agretti, crunchy bread crumbs, and a hint of hot pepper for subtle heat.
desserts
No Italian meal is complete without a sweet finish, and Franny's desserts perfectly conclude your dining experience. Classic options like Tiramisu combine layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa powder for a luscious finale. The silky Panna Cotta, infused with vanilla and gently set with gelatin, offers a light yet indulgent treat. For something cool and nutty, Pistachio Gelato brings the creamy texture of traditional gelato enriched with the distinct flavor of roasted pistachios.
