The owner Franco (Francesco) runs this family owned restaurant and runs it exactly like an Italian Trattoria( in Italy) in every respect. He and his crew are very warm friendly and extremely hospitable (so is the atmosphere), and the food is excellent whether it be Anti pasto, Insalata, Pasta or Sea food. A gem of a restaurant!!! This atmosphere and gastronomy, I can assure you, (and I & my family have been to many Italian restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane) , is a cut above all restaurants we’ve been to, in Australia, whether it be higher end fine dining or casual, anywhere in Australia. Like I said before, the same satisfaction you’d get from dining in a regional Italian Restaurant in the north or south of Italy. I have introduced four groups of friends, all Italian, who have family back in Italy and travel to Italy frequently, to ‘Da Franco’ and they’re all hooked and have continued to return to dine-in at ‘Da Franco’ with their other friends and family!! Ristorante par excellence!!! Bravo Franco, Bravo!!! 👏
