Perfect for the whole family or delicious leftovers!
Light, crispy, and impossible to stop eating. Our Calamari is lightly breaded and fried to a perfect golden finish — tender rings with just the right amount of crunch. Served with our house-made Pomodoro sauce for dipping. The starter that always sets the tone for a great meal.
Crispy on the outside. Melted mozzarella on the inside. Our Mozzarella Fritti is fried to a perfect golden finish and served with our house Pomodoro sauce. The kind of starter that makes everyone at the table reach in at the same time.
Fresh, elegant, and effortlessly Italian. A whole creamy burrata nestled on a bed of peppery arugula and sweet cherry tomatoes, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and aged balsamic.
Crisp romaine, red cabbage, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, artichoke hearts, and pepperoncini — generously topped with our rich, creamy blue cheese dressing. For those who don't do anything halfway.
Fresh, vibrant, and generously loaded. Our Italian Dinner Salad features crisp romaine, red cabbage, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, green olives, artichoke hearts, and pepperoncini — all tossed in our house Italian dressing. The perfect way to start your evening at Franca's.
Crisp romaine, golden croutons, and generous shavings of parmesan tossed in a bold house-made caesar dressing. Classic, confident, and done right. The salad that never goes out of style.
Gnocchi pasta baked with bolognese and mozzarellaComfort food at its finest. Our Gnocchi Al Forno features pillowy soft potato gnocchi baked to golden perfection in a rich, bubbling sauce and melted mozzarella. A warm, indulgent dish that feels like a hug from the inside out.
Slow braised short rib stuffed inside house made ravioli, finished with a rich, hearty bolognese sauce that's been simmered low and slow for hours. Every bite is layers of deep savory flavor that only comes from cooking done right. This is the pasta you order and immediately stop talking."
Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Our Tortelloni Gorgonzola features pillowy stuffed pasta bathed in a velvety gorgonzola cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms — a bold, indulgent dish that pasta lovers order twice.
Three cheeses. One unforgettable dish. Our Manicotti is stuffed with ricotta, asiago, and mozzarella, then blanketed in our house-made Pomodoro sauce and baked until bubbly and golden. The kind of dish that makes the table go quiet the moment it lands.
A classic done right. Our 16" BBQ Chicken Pizza is loaded with tender grilled chicken, smoky BBQ sauce, red onions, and melted mozzarella on a golden crust. Sweet, smoky, and satisfying every single time.
For those who don't compromise. Our 16" Meat Lovers is piled high with hearty meatballs, Canadian bacon, savory Italian sausage, and classic pepperoni — all on a golden crust with our signature tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. The one pizza that always disappears first.
Fra Diavolo means Brother Devil — and this pizza lives up to the name. Our 16" is built on a spicy arrabbiata base with Italian sausage, black olives, sweet onions, and fresh garlic, finished with melted mozzarella on a golden crust. The kind of pizza you'll be thinking about the next day.
Golden on the outside, incredible on the inside. Our Pepperoni Calzone is stuffed with generous layers of classic pepperoni and a rich four cheese blend of creamy ricotta, melted mozzarella, sharp romano, and smooth fontina — all folded into a perfectly baked crust. Served with house marinara for dipping. One bite and you'll understand why it's a favorite.
Because little ones have big opinions too. Our Kids Pasta lets them choose their favorite pasta and sauce combo — a perfectly portioned, made from scratch meal they'll actually get excited about.
absolutely phenomenal portions and food! ordered the seafood chowder (OMG), small meat lovers pizza, childs portion of fettucini (no flavor - but easy to fix), antipasta (YUM) and a side of meatballs. Again - incredible food. Will definitely be ordering again. Didn't take a pix of the soup because it was so good I ate it all before I could snap a pix.

Service is always on point. Very friendly and family oriented. We always want to come back when we go. Food is great. Fried ravioli is our favorite appetizer and the raspberry martini is my favorite drink.

Ate here for the first time a few weeks ago & ordered quite a few different things on the menu to try it all out & we were impressed by EVERYTHING. The Vodka pasta is delicious. They have the best Alfredo I’ve tried in east county. Their Caesar salad is also so authentic. We will definitely keep coming back & continue to support!

Franca's is one of the best Italian restaurants in East County. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and welcoming, with a beautiful bar area that's perfect for enjoying their great Happy Hour specials. The food is consistently outstanding, from the pasta and pizza to the daily specials, and the drinks are always top-notch. My go to is meatballs and salad when im staying on track. But if you want to indulge in their pizza and pasta dishes, you definitely won’t regret it, it’s worth every bite!
The staff at Franca’s is very friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel at home. They also have a fantastic banquet room for private parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate events, along with excellent catering options. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, great cocktails, Happy Hour, and exceptional service, Franca's is a must-visit!

The food is pretty good in theory. I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo. I don't think they use fresh pasta, either way the pasta is mediocre. The sauce was on the bland side. The real issue is they will give you a few bites...it is very small dish for $20. I asked about it and the waitress just said that it is what it is. The chef/owner came over later and I mentioned I thought it was very small portion. He gave me this long drawn out explanation about how he portions everything out, and all Italian restaurants portion as he does. I eat Italian all over the world and, no, they don't. He was visible angry and trying to be amicable, but he couldn't do it. It seems he is angry because no one is eating in his restaurant...there were three people in the whole restaurant on a Sunday evening. I can see why...#1 rule: Don't let your customers go home hungry. #2 rule: Don't be angry at your customers if they have a complaint. Otherwise, you will end up with an empty restaurant on Sunday evening. My friends pasta dish was obviously microwaved and old. Rule #3: Fire chef Mic or lower your prices for microwaved food. The anti-pasta salad was good, but bland...some carrots where huge in the salad, and it skimped big time on the cheese and meats. All in all, not a good value for the money. Don't complain unless you are prepared to be made wrong by the owner.
