Franco’s
is “bringing Italian back to South Philly,”
and is one of the few places where you can
find genuine Fried Calamari and Mussels so
succulent that the juice will drip down your
sleeve in true Italian style. It’s been called
“one of the most traditional Italian settings
left in Philly.” In addition to sitting down at an
elegant yet comfortable table, you can appreciate
a live vocal performance or a piano recital
that takes place on a small stage tucked
in between the tables of the restaurant. Now
serving wine, beer and cocktails.
