    We came here to celebrate a birthday/Mother's Day and it was a nice ambiance. The wait staff is superb because they pay personal attention to each patrons request and special dish requests. They have a lot of varieties of classic dishes. They should have served Italian bread with the meal but they initially served dry garlic knots and sliced rye bread. Being a Brooklyn native, this was a bit different for an Italian place not to serve Italian bread. Also it's BYOB which is also trending but they should get their license so they can serve to the customers who don't want to haul bottles with them for a get together. It's a nice place but wouldn't come back -- nothing particularly stood out.

    A BYOB Italian place that has been in Leonia forever !!!! We have frequented this place so many times and because it feels very local and cozy, we did not even think of reviewing the food here. A quiet family restaurant, with a reasonable portion - not the regular Italian family style - affordable price. We had eggplant rollatini and misses in red sauce for appetizers. Eggplant rollatini is always a must, but slightly smaller portion now. The mussels were soooooo small!! Tiny !!!! But we loved the tomato sauce of course, dipping the garlic knits they serve. Chicken marsala is still consistently good with good amount of mushrooms. The linguini in white wine clam sauce was a bit disappointing....just no flavor. Very bland. The lobster ravioli in vodka sauce was decent.

    Best spot for Italian cuisine, bar none. Warm atmosphere, amazing flavors, attentive and friendly service. Very highly recommended

    Clam Orgenata

    Great food and cute restaurant! I came here for a baptism and everything from appetizers to dinner was delicious. I was able to try multiple menu items and was very pleased with all that was served. Clam orgenata, calamari and stuffed mushrooms were appetizing. They also served eggplant rigatoni, but was unable to eat due to allergies. For entree we had family style option of chicken francese, steak and/ or filet of sole. Chicken Francese was my favorite. Thinly cut chicken breast battered with lemon, butter and white wine sauce.

    Bread, Butter, Salad

    Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 5/5. Salad was fresh with good crisp bites and the dressing had a refreshing level of tartness. Bread was soft and I enjoyed the variety they offered. Shrimp scampi was fantastic! Pasta was a great al dente, shrimp had a good bite and the sauce was rich in garlic and butter flavor. Delicious! Service - 4/5. Courteous and friendly. Value - 5/5. They offer a lot of their main dishes on their lunch special menu for a fraction of the price. The portions are smaller but they are a good amount for one person and comes with a salad. The food was delicious and $15 for a seafood dish is a good deal. Parking - Mall Lot (Free)

    Lasagna. More meat than pasta.

    Low key local neighborhood favorite. It's quiet spacious so it's good for family gathering/celebrations too as well as casual dinners. It's also byob which is great. The service is excellent and food is pretty good, not outstanding but what you would expect from a local italian restaurant. I've tried vongole, lasagna, gnocchi, penne vodka sauce, etc. They are all decent.

    On a return visit to NJ after leaving in 2002 a return to an old favorite -- did not disappoint…read more Short: Food 5/5 Value 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Long: A genuine New York pizza before it was important to be NY pizza --- grew up in Fort Lee in the 70-80's and this was one of many places to eat Always fresh and made to order with fresh bread delivered every morning and all sauces made from scratch. -- saw the bread delivery even this visit Used to eat here every week since we owned a business in the same plaza. The place has been nicely updated and kept fresh with tasteful renovations without loosing its local pizzeria restaurant touch. Service was delivered with a smile and it was good to hear about the original owners Mr and Mrs Franco. My son and daughter had to have a NY pizza in NY - but stated this was better and without the hefty cost and the crazy wait My personal favorites from the past are the cheese pizza and the mussels, and the sausage and pepper heroes This time only was able to eat the pizza since we had already had dinner, honestly it tasted great . Unsure when I'll be back but will definitely make a stop. For reference had gone to school in NYC for 9 years and had plenty of Rays or other NY pizza and Franco's was always my goto. And currently living in Az -- I have enjoyed pizzeria bianco but know what it is like to miss some good old fashioned pizza Thank you Mr and Mrs Franco for the memories

    We ordered pizza (surprise right lol) and this was our first time trying Franco's. We decided on…read morethem based on reviews of course, distance and delivery time. Being that it was our first time you know we had to go with a portion of the pie being plain cheese (the other 1/2 was pepperoni). Let me just say this ..... THIS IS THE PIZZA I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN JERSEY & HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SINCE MOVING BACK!!!! Nothing left to say other than PIZZA PERFECTION and you now have a lifelong customer!

    Didn't feel like jumping back in the car to try to find something to eat so figured we would try…read morethe restaurant here at the hotel. Typically not a big "restaurant at a hotel food guy" but the experience and food here we're both pretty good. There's a nice choice of seating if you prefer a bar experience or a sit down restaurant experience. We chose to sit down restaurant experience. Our waiter was very friendly and quite attentive. After mulling over the menu we were set for dinner. My colleague had the fillet mignon, medium rare with mushroom and Bolognese sauce. I got the rigatoni with eggplant. The dinner starts out with two rolls and butter. Be sure to ask for a choice of rolls as it appears, there are three or four different options to choose from. They were OK, not warm, a bit on the stale side. My colleague enjoyed the steak saying it was tender and filling. It was juicy and had a lot of flavor to it. The overall feedback was positive. My rigatoni was Al Dante, perfect! The red sauce was just right. Not too sweet nor too tangy. There was a fair amount of eggplant and balls of mozzarella cheese. I added Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the top. Every bit of my meal was eaten. Not all meals include a salad. The filet did include a salad. I had to get a side salad. The salads were a bit small and lacking variety but overall OK. Overall this restaurant is a good choice.

    This restaurant is located inside the Doubletree hotel. In the area to go see the Yankees play…read more Had dinner after the day game....too tired to venture out in the city, and the food had great reviews....started with calamari, the wife and I love this... very large portions....then they brought us beautiful mixed green salads...a def step up from the bland ice berg mix you normally see. The wife had ravioli, and I had the seafood linguini. Mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari tossed with perfectly cooked pasta, in a light tomato sauce. Perfect!! No need for dessert, we had doubletree chic chip cookies in our room! Service was friendly, timely, average. The next morning we are in the same room for breakfast. Totally opposite....terrible buffet...service non existent....nice waiter, never around. It's a buffet, had to ask for silverware, had to ask for coffee, had to ask for check....
