Loaded Buffalo Fries
Renee M.

My husband and I finally made the hour and a half drive to visit Franco's and it was well worth the drive! We shared the buffalo fries as an appetizer and I was very impressed by the taste of the hot sauce, the lightly breaded fried chicken & the melty cheese! Up next was the long awaited and anticipated Sicilian: the drunken Italian with hot honey and pepperoni! What a pizza! Our waiter told us it is their most popular and I fully understand why. The cheese! The vodka sauce! The cup pepperoni.. do yourself a favor and visit Franco's!

Garbage Can Pizza

My friend Phyllis introduced me do the family that own Franco's in Wilkesbarre. What amazing people They immediately made me feel like I was apart of their family and I had the pleasure of joining them all for a meal together. Their food is excellent and it's a such a clean and spacious environment. I'm honored to have met them all today.

Chicken bacon ranch pizza with Stromboli stuffed crust
Grace M.

Me and my boyfriend called in to order a chicken bacon ranch pizza with the Stromboli crust for pickup. The person on the phone was super fast and nice and assured us to come in in about 45min-an hour which didn't bother us since we were coming from Scranton. When we got there things were obviously different because of COVID-19 so I had to ring a little bell outside on a table. Someone asked me what my name was and took my payment and brought my pizza out. He was super nice and wished me a great day! Once we arrived at home we dug right in and LET ME TELL YOU. Our taste buds were in heaven! This pizza is not greasy or messy. Perfectly made and exceeded our expectations. Everyone must try it!! Can't wait to go back and try new toppings

Pizza with chicken, french fries and wing sauce on top, and with ranch and melted cheese in the volcano structures toward the top
Robert Z.

Franco's, once Frank's is a great choice for any of your pizza needs. I've tried their fries, and garlic knots which both were very good, but the pizzas are better. Their pizza ranges from your typical cheese pizza to what I got in the attached photo. It's inspired from Frank's old 'College Kid Heart Attack' dish they used to have. The pizza has fries and chicken bites topped with mild sauce and in each of the volcano looking structures at the top they contain ranch (left) or melted cheese (right). I thought it was a cute spin on an old favorite of mine and it did not disappoint!!

Garlic parmesan wings

We went to Franco's for the first time on Friday evening around 7:30pm. The restaurant is separated into one room with a counter and regular seating. It seems like you order at the counter and do take out orders in this room. The other is nicer and more of a sit down/full service area. We knew ahead of time that it was BYOB so we brought some wine with us. We really like BYOB places and there is also no corking fee or wine glass fee. There was one other table seated when we arrived. Our server was super nice, quick and was always there when we needed her. I was very excited to see Arancini on the menu because it's usually a favorite of mine. So I knew ahead of time that we would be ordering it for an appetizer. Well... they make theirs different than any other place I've ever had it before. It's one large baseball sized ball cut in half and it's also full of meat. It didn't say there was meat in it anywhere on the menu and I'm a vegetarian so my boyfriend ate it on his own. I was super disappointed, but he said it was good. They should change their menu description of the Arancini on the menu because all it says is 'fried risotto balls, provolone'... there is one ball cut in half and there is meat in it. Then we ordered our entrees. My boyfriend wanted the prime rib, but we were told that they don't always have it. It's the only steak dinner item on the menu and they didn't have it that night. So he ordered one of the specials, which was a Italian Tower.. fried eggplant, fried chicken, covered in cheese and topped with a gigantic meatball. He said it was really good and that usually places put too much filler in their meatballs, but Franco's meatballs were mostly meat, which he was pleased about. He always, always finishes his meals, but this was so large that he couldn't. The special was $18 and he was charged an extra $4 because he wanted a side of pasta with it. I ordered the Eggplant Invotini and it came with a side of pasta ($13). After ordering when the waitress came back I asked her to make sure that there would be no meat in my entree, since there was the mishap with the appetizer. She ran back to the kitchen to make sure and was told they would make a special sauce for mine. Thank goodness we asked. Both entrees came with soup or salad and we chose the salad with an orange dressing. The dressing was amazing. They also usually give you garlic knots, but they were out of them so we were given another type of bread, which was really good. We also ordered a small plain personal pizza ($5) since it was our first time there. My boyfriend and I shared one of the four pieces and took the rest home. The sauce is a little sweet and just perfect and the crust was great. We were definitely a fan of their pizza. For dessert I had a cannoli and he has the tiramisu. The tiramisu seemed to be homemade and he said it was delicious. We went home with tons of leftovers and had lunch and dinner from it all the next day. Our waitress even gave us some garlic knots for our leftovers since they made more! Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be going back. We're glad we went for the first time. Hopefully our waitress is still there when we go back because she was excellent.

My wife and I were looking something different last week and found Illiano's on Google Maps with a…read moredecent rating. Having tried most other restaurants in the area, we decided to give it a try. When you pull up, it looks like your typical Wilkes-Barre pizza place and when you go inside there are a few tables and piles of bottled beverages and a few coolers. We were hesitant to sit, but it was clean and you could see the chef at work in the kitchen next to a pile of empty pizza boxes and a few people were leaving with their pizza to go. So, we sat at the window table next to the cooler amongst the piles of soda and started out with the menu. Not inexpensive, but not terrible either. My wife ordered Lasagna and I decided to risk the linguini and clams. The bruschetta they serve as an appetizer was good. Just the right amount of butter and not overly toasted. I started to get my hopes up. The bread , soup and salad that came out next was perfectly done. The salad was fresh and the bread was homemade. Intrigue starts to settle in as I look around. Could it be a mythical diamond in the rough in heights section of Wilkes-Barre? It didn't take long at all for our entrees to arrive (the restaurant was empty besides us) and when they did I wasn't as surprised as I would have been if we hadn't been served anything before then, but finding such an unassuming business serving homemade Italian fare that rivals any chain and even upscale establishments is an inspiring experience. Needless to say, everything was delicious. Suddenly our quaint surroundings take on another quality, like a coded message warning away the unadventurous or unfortunate uniformed foodie. This is what restauranteering is all about! Forget about the decor, it's the food that matters, and Illiano's food is a Wilkes-Barre secret that should not be kept!

The great thing about this place is even though there's a ton of traditional favorites, they find a way to put their own unique spin on certain meals. They have a few eponymous dishes and we got one of them, the Chicken Mylana's (crispy chicken, cajun cream, cherry tomatoes, spinach over penne). The chicken had an incredible crunch to it and didn't get soggy in the sauce; the tomatoes were nicely roasted and the Cajun cream was not overly Cajuny or spiced, just nicely seasoned. I'm not sure who Alana is, but damn does she know how to blacken a tuna steak. Along with the pickled julienne veggie 'salad' and dressed with an inspiring whole grain mustard/balsamic drizzle combo, I would have to order that every time; it may be the best version of that dish I've ever had anywhere given the sear and the accompanied veggies. The Shrimp Catania app was also absolutely incredible, and garlic-butter-chablis trio was bright and flavorful. Cocktails were bangin' (we started with a Negroni and Cosmopolitan Margarita, which was a brilliant idea but forget from there), the gnocchi Bolognese hit every spot that it needed to fill and every bite had a wealth of meat sauce with it. The place is very charming inside and the atmosphere is relaxed and classically lit with a nice music backdrop; a gourmet homestyle meal.

Yum! Great place w/ amazing food & cocktails nice atmosphere also!…read more Try it, you won't be disappointed
