Francos Italian Restaurant in Cypress

I looked up best Italian food in los alamitos area this place popped up. They are fantastic and truly authentic. My girlfriend and I ordered Stuffed mushrooms, Soup of the day (lentil soup), Antipasto salad, Chicken parm, Stuffed shells, and Cioppino. A bread basket comes with it as well. I kid you not… EVERY SINGLE ITEM was top notch! The food was piping hot ready within 15 minutes for pickup. And they even helped my girlfriend bring the food to the car. The price is remarkable for getting 5 star food. I will continue to order from here hands down. Thank you Franco’s for your amazing food and outstanding hospitality!! Xoxo 💋

I so wanted to love this place. Sadly the meal was filling but not worth repeating. The fried calamari was sent back as it was completely inedible. The spaghetti and meatballs were fine, but not amazing. The veal piccata was good but served with a side of penne with red sauce...which I found weird. Its usually served with spaghetti or angel hair to sop up the sauce. Creme brulee was grainy and not good

Food is just average. Bruschetta topping was excellent, but the bread was over-toasted and dry. The special Franco chicken was unexpectedly sweet — in fact, too sweet. The pomodoro pasta was over cooked and one dimensional. The pesto gnocchi was too cheesy. If you’re looking for Italian food, and are okay with average Italian food, then it might be worth a try.

Family owned italian restaurants never go wrong. MUST TRY! The restaurant is neither too big nor too small, it’s cozy enough. The server is very friendly and welcoming I would give her 10 stars for service if possible. I would say the bread they give before meals is the best in town. The garlic spread is just heavenly. We had chicken&spinach risotto and spinach&gorgonzola ravioli - rich and flavorful! and it’s even very affordable! Oh and we also had butternut squash soup, which was special soup of the day, and it was super good too. It goes well with bread too. I wanted to bring the soup & bread home... haha

Had very good food. The atmosphere was very homie and Italian. Prices were very fair and the portions were big. I had the spaghetti and meatball. Which was pretty good. The only knock is the garlic bread. Needs more to it. Pretty bland. All in all was very good and satisfying. We will definitely come back

Had delicious food. It was a very hip and Italian environment. Both the prices and the serving sizes were quite reasonable. Overall, it was excellent and satisfying. We definitely will return.

Very unassuming on the outside but full of great service and bold flavors on the inside. Everything from the bruschetta to the sea bass was phenomenal. I had the chilean sea bass special, my mom had the cod special, and my grandmother had the spaghetti and meatballs. By the end of the meal we all were sharing food because everything tasted so delightful. Our server and the other restaurant workers were very friendly and attentive. We originally came here because my original farewell dinner plans fell through, this was definitely much better! Will definitely be back here next time Im in town.To quote my mom and grandmother, Im glad we didnt get to go to [other restaurant]

Food is tasty and prices are reasonable. Service is good and staff is helpful. Have had dinner on a number of occasions here. We do enjoy our meals. Small restaurant located in a strip mall...not fancy and informal. Lots of specials to choose from. Menu is extensive. If you want homemade tasting Italian food, this is a good place to find it. Sauces and pastas are very good. Worth a visit.

Wonderful Italian dining with pasta favourites and seafood & steak daily specials. The chef is exceptional. Sauces are delicious, salads fresh, service first rate. A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Do yourself a favor a visit Francos.

I come here every once in a while with a family member. The food is delicious and authentic, the atmosphere is calming, and the service is great. I personally love getting the pesto gnocchi.
