Customer Reviews

GREAT customer service, wonderful food
Reviewed by elmarki on 2009-02-11T12:06:48Z

Francos had a wine special, which we tasted, accepted, and had two glasses poured. We then realized we did not care for the wine. They took back the two glasses, did not charge us for them, and said "We just want you to be happy." We were! The food was wonderful, the service warm and perfect. We were so pleased and recommend this place highly. A grand neighborhood joint, with excellent food and a terrific atmosphere. Mangia!

Pros: Great place and grand service

Cons: None, highly recommended

.Fantastic eating experience in Atlanta!

This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant. What a delight, fantastic food/service and a great atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anybody. The waiting staff are attentive, particluarly the owner and nobody could do enough to please me. I had pizza which was wonderful and such attention to detail made this a memorable dining experience. Cant wait to come back or get a take away.

Terrible food

I am really disappointed with the food and service. I was looking for a good italian food, but instead it looked liked it was a left over food that was re-heated. I complained to the manager and but instead I was given the attitude of "too bad, that's what we have". My experience is, terrible, bad, terrible.

Pros: None

Cons: Terrible experience

I'm so surprised by "louinatlanta"'s comments. Great experience here for our group of 4!!

Only one of us had pizza, but it was excellent (much better than Osteria's in my opinion). I had the roasted chicken, which was excellent. And the eggplant parmesan was the some of the best I've had (baked, not fried!). My husband had a huge pork chop, says it was best he's ever had. But mostly, we had just the opposite experience with the owner!! He stopped by our table specially, asked how we liked individual dishes, told us about some of the new entrees, & couldn't have been nicer. We've been here more than once & usually have pizza, but now I'm interested in trying more of the other dishes based on our experience. Definitely recommend giving this place a try - spinach salad was very different also, with an olive oil based dressing & feta cheese.

Pros: Food & the friendly owner & staff

Cons: Traffic out front, but owner seems to be trying to create some ambience

RUDE Owner
Reviewed by LouNAtlanta on 2008-11-15T07:09:14Z

If the Owner would stay away the place would be better. He is rude. The food is good. The wait staff is very pleasant. The portions are small and the prices are too high...top that off with a rude owner and it is not worth stopping by. There are better Italian Food stores in Atlanta with MUCH BETTER prices. Osteria is much better!!! The seating is not in tune with the kitchen...takes way too long to get a meal. Did my group have a bad experience? You bet we did and we will never go back.

Pros: Good Food and Great Waiter staff

Cons: VERY RUDE OWNER Don't go there with a group over 4 people....
