Franco's Italian Food - Evansville

If you have never eaten here...... you must repent to your taste buds!!!! I had no better Italian in Evansville... actually better than The Hill in St. Louis. Franco and his daughter Sophia were amazing hosts!!!

Hands down amazing. As a family native from Palermo, Sicily, I can attest to the authenticity of several dishes. Most recently was the Chicken Marsala. Exquisite taste and aroma. These fellas are doing something right! Sono pieno come un uovo AND of course Buon appetito!

Great place to grab some takeout. The food tasted good, the price was reasonable, and it was ready within 15 minutes. The staff were friendly and quick to check out.

The staff was very friendly, but a little inexperienced as the service was just teetering on the edge of okay. The food was good and reasonably priced for an Italian restaurant (pasta is very inexpensive and I find most pasta dishes to be very overpriced). I had shrimp scampi and my wife had eggplant parmesan. As I said, we both enjoyed our meals, mine was heavy on lemon, but was still tolerable. When our food arrived, the reason the prices were so acceptable became clear. The portions of our dinners were objectively small. My wife and I were fine with the dining experience, but we definitely went to another restaurant after Franco's and ordered drinks, an appetizer, and dessert. The items on the menu looked good, so I will try another dish next time and hope for a little better experience, not that this one was bad.

I wanted to like this place. It was a bit confusing when you enter, we weren't sure if it was table service or you order at the counter. Anyway, we order 2 calzones and they are build your own style. The female employee began making them in front of us without any gloves on! About half way into them a male employee came out, saw what she was doing and finished them with gloves on). She proceeded to check us out at the register without ever washing her hands, gross. The calzoned were not very good, the crust was nice and crispy but the interior was still cold. I hope they can work out the kinks.
