Welcome to the Official website of Da Franco Ristorante Italiano!

Da Franco opened its doors May 16, 2009. With a warm and romantic ambiance, everyone is welcomed and provided for by our friendly and outstanding staff. Our mission is to make everyone feel a part of our family restaurant and serve the most delectable Italian food!

No stranger to the business, owner Franco Spatola has been in the food industry for over 40 years. Currently he is co-owner of two other Italian restaurants: Forno Italia, also located in Astoria NY, and Da Zia Carolina in Torretta, Sicily. He is also co-owner of Spatola Latticini, a promising mozzarella factory in Ridgewood NY, delivering fresh home-made mozzarella to Da Franco and many other locations.

Born in Naples, but raised in Sicily, Franco was inspired by the best of both worlds to offer a gratifying food fusion of the two very different regions in his new authentic restaurant.

We specialize in only the freshest and top quality ingredients prepared by our staff, professional chef and superb pizza maker. We also take pride in our pasta, home-made daily for your dining enjoyment. Our menu is rather extensive, as it offers a variety of exquisite distinctive dishes to accommodate any mood or craving. We promise whichever dish is chosen, you won’t be disappointed!

We offer private party’s for special events in our cozy dining room seating 28 people, our second elegant dining room illuminated by wall sized windows, seating 56 people, and the beautiful outside patio seating 50 people. Check out our catering menu for our prefix menus which can accommodate any budget.

                So come to Da Franco, sit down, relax, and buon appetite!
