An excellent restaurant where you can always find fresh fish. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The quality is very high, but overall, considering you're right on the port, the prices are in line. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the presentation. A very comprehensive wine list ensures everyone gets the right amount of money they want. There's house wine, as well as very high-end wines, as well as wines available to anyone, but all from excellent wineries. The presentation of the dishes is excellent, as is the flavor, which is never lacking. It's a historic restaurant that has been around for many years, and if it's still around after all these years, it's because it has managed to maintain the right quality-price ratio, but above all, quality, which is essential. Congratulations to the owners.

Ristorante Franco: where the sea meets art, and every bite tells a story.
Specialty? Adriatic fish, as fresh as the sea breeze and treated with a respect bordering on devotion. Here, every dish is a small masterpiece: the appetizers are delicacies designed to surprise, a harmony of flavors and colors that open the palate and enchant the eye. The first courses? They're not simply first courses—they're the first of all, for their delicacy, balance, and creativity. Recipes born from tradition but given a new elegance, crafted with passion, love, and that secret touch that only those who truly experience the sea can understand.
And Franco? Franco is the soul of the place, a watchful and smiling presence, a true gastronomic lookout. He greets each guest with genuine warmth, ensuring that every detail—from the wine to the presentation of the dish—is the perfect setting for authentic delicacy. Every corner of the restaurant exudes care, hospitality, and a simple yet rare idea: to make every guest feel not just welcome, but expected.
Ristorante Franco isn't just a place where you eat well: it's a lasting experience, an embrace of the sea served at your table, with art, heart, and intelligence!

A lunch at Franco's is a pleasant adventure where the friendly atmosphere and the view of the port make you feel like a sailor discovering taste. The alternating flavors are typical of the various fish species that are served without any alteration of flavors and just softened by a sober and elegant manipulation that aims to enhance and mediate the taste. A few brush strokes of Abruzzo, a spicy touch on a raw food reminds us, and it doesn't hurt, that we are a land of the sea.

Siamo a Pescara per una gara di karate di nostro figlio. Appena arrivati in stanza abbiamo iniziato a cercare un ristorante dove poter mangiare. Subito ci ha colpito lui, ristorante da Franco! Siamo arrivati il pomeriggio e c’era anche la fiera del fiore. Siamo stati accolti meravigliosamente dallo staff del ristorante. Ci siamo sentiti proprio a nostro agio! Abbiamo preso antipasto caldo e freddo, soute di cozze e vongole, polpette di baccalà, spaghetti alle vongole e per concludere un ottima frittura di calamari e scampi. ERA TUTTO BUONISSIMO E ACCOMPAGNATO DA UN OTTIMO VINO( consigliato da loro).
Per non parlare del rapporto qualità prezzo risultato onesto per tutto ciò che abbiamo preso! Torneremo sicuramente! A presto
