ShontaMarch 15, 2018The veal picatta was awesome as was my husband's marsala. We did get salad and wonderful bread, so it was a great meal. We would love to go back when we don't feel so rushed.
VeraJune 26, 2017My 15 year old son and I stopped in before going to the Theatre and we were not disappointed. My Lobster Ravioli's were perfect and my son loved his fettuccine. Will definitely go again.- Sincere BabyAugust 1, 2019We had no idea what part of town we were in and checked our phone and saw the intended restaurant was 10 minutes away! Thank you again for fitting us in despite your very busy Saturday night!
- MaryanneFebruary 7, 2018Service was efficient. Our table had the fillet of cod, Scottish salmon and the chicken parmigiana. Everything was delicious!!! Had the apple crisp for desert. Yummy. Highly recommend that.
- Shani MJanuary 15, 2020This place is very nice. The owner is usually on site and she watches everything. The food is pretty good- kinda basic Italian food but good. I sat at the bar and bartender took care of me.
- LeahDecember 26, 2019We came in during such a busy time. The wait time was minimal, the staff extremely friendly, and the food came out hot! This place amazing and is my new favorite restaurant!
- MichaelSeptember 28, 2016Food was excellent! A little to get our food, but everything came out good. Very pleased. The lobster ravioli was filled with lobster and the sauce was great. My sister got the linguine

- JanJune 12, 2020It looks so fancy from the window but once you walk in you'll find that you are treated like family. The hostess and bartender were so welcoming and gave us the utmost attention!

- CleoNovember 30, 2016Some years ago I discovered Bravo Franco quite by chance--a theatre outing brought me to Pittsburgh without dinner plans and as I walked down Penn Ave., the view from the restaurant window beckoned.
- Casagio90March 2, 2018Had a delicious homemade pasta dish last night. The tomato basil sauce, wow!! And the zucchini appetizer was so light and also delicious!
- ErvinMarch 3, 2020The food was great, but....... There wre only three of us and we came at 5 pm so we would have plenty of time to eat and then see Hamilton! For only three of us and early, so the place was very empty.
- Francis HMay 22, 2020Special shout to our server, for great service and attitude even though she probably wanted to be on her way out. Will definitely plan to return for a more leisurely paced meal.
- PaeJanuary 8, 2020We were greeted immediately by the gracious host.Will definitely plan to return for a more leisurely paced meal that includes the Original Franco salad.
