The food at Franco's is excellent. A wide variety of fish is offered on the airy veranda. For a starter, we chose the octopus salad, which was already very tasty. But the main courses (gnocchi with pesto and prawns, and risotto with melon and prawns) were truly exceptional.

A truly wonderful experience!
We were delighted with our visit to Da Franco. The fish and seafood were delicious, fresh, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed both the seafood appetizers and the fritto misto—everything was truly excellent.
A huge thank you to the entire team for the pleasant atmosphere, hospitality, and professional service. Special thanks go to our waiter Riccardo, who looked after us with great kindness, attention, and friendliness, making our evening even more special.
It was one of the most beautiful gastronomic moments of our stay in Grado. We will definitely return and recommend Da Franco to all lovers of good Italian cuisine and seafood.
Thank you so much to the entire team! ❤️🇮🇹

Well, what can I say? Da Franco is a historic venue for us, a sure thing, it's HOME. Warm hospitality, unwavering professionalism, but above all, and always, SPECTACULAR DISHES: meticulous preparation, consistently fresh ingredients, generous portions, and excellent value. Highly recommended for lovers of tradition but also for those who appreciate creativity, which the chef constantly updates with original and intriguing dishes and combinations. LONG LIVE DA FRANCO!

I love it. A place where you can eat really well. To try if you are in Grado. Excellent choice of dishes and fresh fish of the day. Excellent and efficient service. Kind and friendly staff. Fair price for the quality.

Scialatielli alla roccia were rich and very flavorful. Octopus salad served in a jar: original and very fragrant. Breaded sardines: dry fried, a very appetizing dish, as was the sauce they were served with.
Fast and punctual service, with a touch of cheerfulness that is always a pleasure.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, our experience with the food wasn't entirely positive. The appetizer of two gratinated prawns, priced at €18, seemed a bit pricey for the portion (I've attached a photo to give you an idea of the portion size).
The pasta dish was enjoyable: the underlying concept seemed interesting and well thought out, although, in our opinion, the final result didn't live up to expectations.
The grilled cuttlefish, however, didn't convince us. The portion consisted of only three cuttlefish, accompanied by a slice of polenta that seemed packaged. Furthermore, we detected a flavor reminiscent of a grill used for other cooking methods, which masked the flavor of the fish. Overall, the €22 asking price seemed a bit steep.
Finally, the cost of the half-liter of house sparkling wine also seemed rather high.
Overall, in our experience, we weren't satisfied with the quality-price ratio. It's a shame, because the place is pleasant and the staff was really friendly.

Attentive and friendly staff. The octopus appetizer was delicious, with an original presentation. The spaghetti with clams was delicious, and what can I say about the pomegranate sorbet?
You just have to try it!
See you soon!

A very nice restaurant.
The fish dishes are delicious!
The tiramisu wasn't really to our taste.
