Located at Port Brae, Peebles EH45 8AW, Franco’s is an intimate, family-run Italian restaurant that continues to captivate locals and tourists alike with its authentic charm and meticulously crafted cuisine. The Franco’s Menu delivers a balanced mix of traditional Italian dishes and creative chef specials, each plated with care and served with heartfelt hospitality.
As someone who has explored a fair share of Italian eateries across the UK, Franco’s stands out for its unpretentious warmth and dedication to quality. Starters like the Antipasto Misto offer a delightful array of cured meats and marinated vegetables, setting the tone for a hearty meal ahead. The pasta selection, particularly the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese and the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare, reflect the kitchen’s strength in executing both classic and seafood-forward dishes with equal finesse.
What sets the Franco’s Menu apart is its unwavering focus on freshness and flavor. The pizzas are wood-fired to perfection with a rustic thin crust that supports generous, high-quality toppings. The Pizza Diavola was especially memorable-its spicy salami, rich tomato base, and bubbling mozzarella delivered bold flavors without overpowering the palate.
Service at Franco’s is consistently attentive yet relaxed, enhancing the dining experience without feeling rushed. Prices are fair, with mains generally ranging between £12 to £18-excellent value given the quality and portion sizes. Desserts like the Tiramisu or Panna Cotta add a satisfying sweet finish to the meal.
In comparison to larger chains, Franco’s offers a more personal, thoughtfully curated experience that reflects the heart of Italian dining. For anyone seeking genuine Italian fare in a cosy riverside setting, the Franco’s Menu is a standout choice. It’s not just a meal-it’s a memory waiting to be made.
