Franco,s in County Durham

Always beautiful freshly cooked food. Lovely, friendly staff. Bishop’s little secret

Food was amazing & the service was outstanding they couldn't do enough for us & so welcoming...highly recommend

As an unbiased and balanced reviewer, I would highly recommend the pizza & pasta options and strongly suggest you avoid the steak and (oven) chips. (You’ve been warned!)I won’t be too judgmental as the waitress was obviously trying her best, but clearly inexperienced as it wasn’t until we left that we found out about a ‘famous’ 3 course specials menu.Nice setting, and once they’d figured out how to make the CD player work, a nice atmosphere but unfortunately not hitting the standards of any of the other Italian restaurant past and present in and around the town.At nearly £100 for 2 adults and 2 kids (plus a teen eating a starter for a main) the price is definitely on the steep side considering the quality.I wouldn’t return or recommend the restaurant (for reasons above) but would order & recommend the pizza or pasta as a takeaway.

Good food well cooked with friendly efficient service

Great service. Great food. Good sensible service with trying to keep restaurant corona virus free .keep up the great work

My first time in Franco’s and it definitely won’t be my last. Lovely place for a nice meal at reasonable prices. Couldn’t fault the food or service at all. Thank you to Franco and lovely serving staff 🙂
