    Lobster ravioli
    Jen M.

    This is either the second or third time I've been to Franco's while driving through Dover. Classic Italian dishes - something to please everyone from pizza and traditional pastas to more unique choices. Ambiance is fine, pretty casual. I was greeted with "Ciao Bella." Service was quick and welcoming!

    Ravioli Entrée came with free bread and a salad! You don't see that as much anymore

    We did a pick up order on our way back from PA. Everything we ordered was packaged correctly and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely order from them again!

    Large pizza with mushroom, peppers and pineapple
    Brian M.

    Stopped here on the way back fr Virginia Beach, they are located right by Dover Air Force Base. I wanted to like this place, it's roomy, was busy at 12 noon and even with 2 people serving they were a bit overwhelmed. Everyone was nice, they have a good selection of pizza, salads, pastas, sub and sandwiches. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing although I wax a little disappointed with the pizza. There were 3 of us so we shared a large pizza with 3 toppings. The sauce is definitely not up to Brooklyn NY sauce. There wasn't too much flavor although it was ok. The part that missed was the toppings appeared to be just thrown on and not cooked in so the toppings were a bit cold. The weird part was the hot tea, they brew it for you which is ok although it was not hot. We asked if they could boil a new pot of hot water and served it with this huge tea bag which was like 6 tea bags in one. See attached photo. Again, everyone was very nice, I'm sure I caught them at a busy time. I know they have an overall rating of 4 stars so I'm sure they are usually on point. For me you only have one chance to make a great impression so I will not be back when driving to Virginia Beach in the future.

    Food

    I'd give zero stars if I could. I ordered food through the Slice app and they handed the driver the incorrect order. They expected this poor driver to go back and pick up the correct order, even though it was their mistake. then over an hour after my food was ordered said that they would send the correct order to me. When I called back and spoke with Franco, he got angry and told me to call Slice and request a refund. Slice cannot do a refund without the restaurant approval. Between Slice and Franco this is the worst experience I've ever had in ordering food through an app. The restaurant manager Franco was extremely disrespectful to myself who is awaiting a dinner order, and the driver of the Slice app who is out of time and money now as well. Thank God for AMEX, who will dispute the order. Update they sent the order that sat for over an hour.. carbonara Egg is scrambled and look at the basil. The bottom is a watery mess. This is terrible service

    Chicken parmesan
    Jessica B.

    I've been a huge fan of Franco's for years. I always go when I'm home visiting and have my mom bring me some when she comes down to SC. The portions are large, fresh and absolutely delicious. The meat tortellini with sausage and meatballs is one of top favorites. The chicken parmesan is a very close second. Everyone at the table ways orders something different and we a share... With enough to bring home for leftovers. The fresh bread they give you with oil to dip is perfect. It's always right out of the oven, crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. The staff is wonderful. Always so attentive and polite. They're very knowledgeable with the menu. The restaurant is a bit outdated- but it is okay. It hasn't ever changed and I'm okay with that. I highly recommend checking it out when you're in Dover!

    Because they use pre cooked pasta, all of the sauces are watery, and the pasta quite mushy. It's below average. Do better

We ordered 2 pasta dishes and a side of meatballs along with a grilled chicken Caesars salad. They boxed up the three hot dishes in a flat pizza box which made it super easy to transport! The grilled chicken Caesars salad was delicious and was huge - even ordered the small. The amount of chicken was amazing! The side of meatballs were tasty and had plenty of extra sauce. The Calamari Fra Diavolo and the lasagne were both hefty servings with plenty of leftovers! They come with plain bread and side salads. This is a great value for the quality and quantity that you get! Very affordable and reasonably priced. Delicious food!

I arrived a bit late so missed the bruschetta appetizer (looked good) and had the salad, lasagna and a sample of the chicken marsala. The salad was the usual bagged leaves (I don't like them, no flavor) but that's what is standard in the US, so no fighting that. The chicken was also rather bland but the LASAGNA was fantastic. I'm quite critical of lasagna, even though I feel about lasagna the way Garfield the Cat feels about lasagna. Sometimes it's only a mess of ricotta and tomato sauce and not much flavor, but this lasagna had small meatballs of sausage and a good tomato sauce and not too much cheese, as in not overly capped by a layer of hard-to-digest mozzarella. The desserts looked as if they're brought in, but they were very good, standard stuff, cheesecake, carrot cake, and a chocolate cake that disappeared like mist on a summer meadow. But I only wish I had skipped dessert and loaded up on more lasagna, it was really delicious. If I eat there with friends instead of a party time, I'm pretty sure I'd be ordering that lasagna.

It was clean, but very cold with even the hostess wearing a jacket, We ordered chicken Parm for lunch ($16 for the lunch portion and an extra charge if you would like salad). We also ordered a Caprese sandwich with soup. The soup arrived quickly but our main lunch was delayed. The server apologized saying there was an issue with the cook. Everything looked good, but the spaghetti was lukewarm, and the Caprese sandwich was tasteless with tomatoes that were like mush. The chicken parm was hot so it was odd that the spaghetti was not. We didn't see our waitress for a while so we shared the chicken Parm and just put the sandwich on the side. Even though there was one bite missing from the entire sandwich, the server asked if we wanted to take it to go. Overall, the meal was a disappointment, and we won't be returning. Side note: if you use your credit card, expect a 3% surcharge.

Everything seemed clean and neat, with a mix of some background music playing. Since it was noontime, the large windows let in a lot of light. It only took a couple of minutes for someone to get my drink order. I figured pizza was in the name, so I ordered the Pizza Americana (pepperoni and sausage) and a side salad with blue cheese dressing. Salad came and a saucer of oil and seasonings and soft rolls accompanied it. Salad was very basic- lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber, one cherry tomato, one red onion ring, and half dozen croutons. Dressing was fairly good. The oil for dipping the bread was heavy on the garlic. The pizza came out very quickly, and smelled and looked great. Crust was nice and crisp. Sausage was tasty. Although I ordered the small, it really could serve two, especially if you had the salad and a roll. Overall it was a pleasant experience here. I'd definitely stop here again. I would recommend that the management have someone clean the ventilation ducts though. They appear to have a lot of residue on them which is a little off putting.

The endless bread sticks, soup, and salad filled the hole in my stomach but Cj and Maddy filled a hole in my soul. They moved around the table with such elegance I could've mistaken them for dancers in the ballet. They painted our table with color, the breadstick their brush, with the precision of Van Gogh. They showed coordination and teamwork that led me to believe they had been working together for years, imagine my surprise learning we were the biggest party they had ever served. As we learned from ratatouille food is powerful, it can bring you joy, memories, and satisfaction. Cj and Maddy taught me that food holds no candle to the power people hold.
