Franco's Italian Caffe

Best Italian food in AZ. Also our server Anthony was amazing. Prosciutto and melon was the best Ive had in America. Just as good when I was in Sicily. The veal was tender and marsala sauce was perfect. The angel hair bolognese was also the best Ive had. Tiramisu was so good and a perfect ending to the best Italian food Ive had in AZ.

Nice small restaurant with delicious food. I got duck ravioli (special of that day). Ravioli is perfectly cooked and the duck is juicy delicious. My husband got seafood squid ink pasta (another special of that day). The seafood is fresh and the pasta is tasty.Food portion is good. We did not have leftovers and we don't have room for desserts. We called to make a reservation. We went in on Black Friday as soon as they were opened so they were not packed.

A really delicious Italian dinner. As many other reviewers have mentioned it is very authentic and the service is fantastic. Our waiter Anthony did a fabulous job and was extremely attentive. They also have a very large menu and they had at least half a dozen specials, which I always love and usually order. Parking can be quite tricky so the best option will be valet for $11. Inside is small, although it is very cozy and can easily host multiple large groups as we saw two different tables with at least a dozen people at both tables. The only issue we had was our entrées came out extremely slowly, about 45 minutes after our entrées came out, so there must've been a back up in the kitchen. However, the food was delicious when it finally came out. I chose the Arugula and Beet Salad to start, and it was very good. I wish there would have been more beets and more goat cheese, but the flavors were very nice. I wouldn't really recommend it though, because there were only a few beets at the bottom of the salad. For my entrée I chose one of the specials for the evening: the Osso Bucco. It was honestly very good and a very large sized portion. I left the restaurant feeling very full and happy.Overall a great and casual Italian dinner in the heart of Scottsdale. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal and especially if you're looking for a place that is more casual than some of the other options close by. I plan to be back next time I am visiting town.

So excited to finally try this place! You're able to make reservations over the phone and I definitely recommend doing so. They have valet or you can doing street parking. The ambiance is cozy and traditional with friendly service. They start you off with bread, meat and cheeses. Their wine list is pretty extensive along with their daily specials! We tried the appetizer special, the mussels - they were very fresh! I loved the sauce that they were it, it was a spicy, garlic, red sauce. For entrees, we had the off the menu special (rigatoni with sausage in a white sauce) and the fettuccine tartufo. We enjoyed both entrees - we could tell the pasta was hand made and both of the sauces were light and not to heavy. The fettuccine tartufo is VERY heavy on the truffle so if you don't like truffle, avoid. I love truffle and I thought it was so yummy.For dessert, we had the tiramisu and espresso with biscotti. They brought us complimentary limoncello after dessert! Would recommend for a date night or a small get together with friends! Will absolutely go back to try more entrees.

Anthony was an attentive and knowledgeable server and the food was excellent. We were celebrating our anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the food we ordered as well as the wine suggested by our server. Highly recommend Franco's!

Amazing service, authentic food (closest I've had to being as good as back in the east coast). Worth every penny.

Stopped by last night with a business partner by chance on a business trip to Phoenix. Amazing food, wine, and deserts! Service from Anthony was exceptional - thanks for a memorable meal!

Food was delicious! Service was spectacular! Would encourage people to come and give it a try! Great place to celebrate our anniversary!

Horrible experience ! Food ! Manager ! Food ' parking ! Bathroom ! Cleanliness ! Food poisoning!!

We had an amazing experience. Excellent service and homemade Italian food. It's a very busy place with a lot of regulars and locals.
