We have been going to Francos for years. Never had an issue with the food or the service - its one of the reasons we keep going back. Take a few minutes to talk to Franco and you will soon realise his passion for good food and good service. Nothing is too much trouble for Franco (senior and junior). If you want a taste of a real family owned and run Italian restaurant with passionate owners with freshly cooked dishes made by well trained and experienced chefs you will not be disappointed. If you prefer "cooking by formula" in a chain owned restaurant go elsewhere !

Always a warm welcome, Franco is an old fashioned host and restaurateur. I don't know what the people are on about below, he must have had a go at them about something! He certainly speaks his mind! Yes he gives you a hug and a kiss on the cheek but that's it, I come with my daughter and her family, not once has he ever made us feel uncomfortable. Yes he steals the odd chip and sits with you but, that's part of the places charm. He's one of the last remaining real Italians in Leeds. Don't ever change Franco. Oh and the food is the best in Yorkshire.

I have been several times to Franco's. It has several standout features. First let's get the food out of the way. On my visits we have always had pizza so I can't comment about anything else. Basically it's best ever kind of stuff. Generous toppings, great base. What more can I say. Next, location, it's strange. It's away from the main Thorpe Park retail entertainment complex down a side alley amongst offices. If you didn't know it was there you wouldn't know it was there. Finally, service. This is a family business. It is run by Italians. Franco Senior is an Italian & like many Italians he is passionate about his food & business. I've read some reviews where the reviewer has got into trouble with Franco. Well, start slamming his food & staff & what do you expect. He is a proud old Italian. Yes, not everyone will appreciate the fact that he comes to sit at your table but that is so often the way of the Italian proprietor. Don't like it, try somewhere less authentic.

I felt obliged to write this review, as all the other poor reviews have one similar thread.....THE OWNER. This guy is a first class, Grade A utter moron. My partners mother had visited us, bestowing us with her delightful company and charm, so we decided to email Franco's to book a table. It clearly states on the website not to turn up if you do not receive a response from them. As they did did not email back, the next day my partner rang to confirm the booking due to it being that very day. We turned up that evening and was greeted (In a fashion) by a scruffy looking older gentleman, with a slight passive aggressive demeanour, served straight up with a serving of pure obnoxiousness and sprinkled with overtones of sarcasm. We were seated and proceeded to look through the rather large menu, which did seem impressive actually. Then the scruffy looking gentleman confronted my partner at the table and started shouting "You are wasting me money" "Why did you book two tables" etc. Everyone's heads turned around in the restaurant like a scene in a western, when the villin walks into the saloon and the piano stops as the locals stare!! This was very embarrassing, but that was not it, we were not done. He then decides to sit down at our table and continues to shout in my partners face, then states "Do not do this again!!" My partner was in utter shock and shaking. We then explained that we emailed him and that because his staff did not reply we rang up to book a table. He then proceeded to lie to our faces saying he messaged us back and he could show us on his computer. There was no reply!! After what seemed like a lifetime of uncomfortableness this dishevelled looking chap finally left the table. This all occurred before our drinks order was even taken, what can we expect for the main course? An axe in the head? At this point my partner, my sugar plum, my queen was in tears and we decided to leave. I said to Mr Dishevelled as we left that I did not appreciate how he talked to my partner and his behaviour was unacceptable. I felt like I had somewhat redeemed the honour of my lady, like a knight on horse winning the affections of a princess at a royal joust Dishevelled then proceeded to shout at the top of his voice "You're Silly, you're silly" as we walked out the door. Ladies and gentleman of the jury, it is now time for your judgment, in this professional behavior? where we silly? Or would the real silliness be lining the pockets of dishevelled when he has no respect for costumer's at all and is simply incapable of professional behaviour AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! TOXIC AWFUL OWNER (Unless that's your thing of course).

Visited for only the second time on 08/02/2023 (evening) The food was amazing, the waiters/waitresses were also amazing and very friendly and efficient. I'm very long in the tooth, but don't expect the 'F' bomb to be shouted across a restaurant full of families from the restaurant owner to a poor waiter in order to clean a drink up that was spilt on a table (not by any of the waiting staff may I add). Great food, shame about the verbal abuse to the waiters/waitresses, I'd find another job if I were you guys...If it wasn't for this, I would have rated this 'Excellent'.

I love supporting family run businesses especially those whose family are there grafting. We have been coming here for years and it?s always welcoming and the food has been great. I?d normally always given them a five star review but on this occasion just a little hiccup. Not enough to put me off them because I love this place. The issue was only relating to my sister in law who hates cheese and on previous occasions there wasn?t clumps of cheese in her pasta dish but this time there was a huge clump of cheese 3 bites into her dinner. When addressed to the waiter, who said the dish is cooked with Parmesan and all intolerances or allergies should be disclosed. She wasn?t allergic, she just didn?t like the clump of cheese and her husband decided to take it home for lunch the next day. I just think it could have been handled a little bit better as she didn?t eat her food after that and went home for a cup noodle. I also thought on this occasion the dish didn?t have as much fresh tomatoes in it and thought they used more purée but I understand that prices have been going up for food and places like these need to make a little adjustment here and there to keep their business up. I still like this place! Worth a try

Ive only attended at lunchtime for takeaway. The food is very tasty but I won't be returning. On my first visit, I thought maybe the server was just having a bad day but this is my 3rd time visiting and the service is always poor. For a family business, there's no service with a smile. The staff are very rude and speak at a million miles an hour listing the different food options. Maybe if it was on a bettter menu they wouldn't have to grow tired of repeating themselves. I thought it was just me but someone else I work with won't go back again either because of the seemingly rude staff. Shame..
