    My partner who is Italian and I called there today to buy a few Italian take-away ingredients. We stayed for coffee and I couldn’t resist a superb Banana Spilt - really excellent. The main thing is that the staff were so very welcoming, friendly and genuinely helpful. The food is excellent. It was real pleasure to be a customer there. We highly recommend this family business called Franco’s in the Maidstone Mall.

    I was fortunate enough to be able to take home 2 cannoli, as they were nearly finished: heaven!!! Absolute heaven! I think these were incredibly near to the original Sicilian ones, very crispy, chocolate coated interior so that they don't get soggy, and the ricotta perfectly creamed, made me regret I didn't buy more! Thank you guys!!! Much love

    Never visited before so thought we would try. Straight away we were given a warm welcome (even if the shopping centre was cold lol). We were treated as though they knew us for ages, the specials were described with passion, along with the rest of the menu. My wife and I had specials, cheese and tomato sauce with Italian sausage, baby tomatoes and either penne pasta or gnocchi. Made fresh and totally delicious!!!! We then had desserts of which I forget the names but again fresh for the day and superb for finishing off our meals. The staff were absolutely lovely with fresh and delicious food, please support them over a Starbucks as they are passionate about customers enjoying the food and drink. They also have a small shop where you can buy some of thier ingredients.

    Came here for lunch with my mum after a morning of Christmas shopping. The staff are so polite and helpful and the atmosphere really reminded me of being on holiday in Italy again. I was surprised that most of the other customers were not eating any of the Italian dishes on the menu. I had a pizza and it was incredible, so tasty, looked amazing and very authentic. The prices were really good, I will definitely be back and would recommend the pizza to everyone.

    Excellent food and service, so friendly especially Massimo, he recommended a few dishes to have and enjoyed every bit. I did ask Mass to put together a little platter of Italian’s finest food and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant 👌🏻

    BEST pizza I have ever had. Not even New York pizza comes close. This is the kind of pizza that makes the soul happy.. not only is their food and service great but the people working there are AMAZING and kind and they treat their customers like family. The food is great, the people are great, and the atmosphere is amazing. I would highly recommend their pizzas. And their milkshakes.

    Fantastic food. What can I say, right from the start we were greeted by a very friendly chatty waiter who clearly enjoyed his job and wanted to please customers. The pizzas were enormous, hand made and so full of flavour. The square pizza (we heard about it from our Italian friends) is worth asking for though not on the menu is a stuffed crust and I mean STUFFED. In the end we all had to take some home as we couldn't finish them all. Massimo and all the staff were friendly, chatty and just couldn't do enough for us, even the chef came out to see us and have a chat, as well as the owner. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu 😋

    Absolutely fantastic pizza, made to order and delicious. I really like that you can watch them make it too. Couldn't finish it all but was kindly offered a takeaway box for the leftovers. Friendly and warm staff. We ordered another meal, sausage and chips, which took a little longer to come out than the pizza but otherwise very impressed and will be returning
