One of Chicago's finest Italian restaurants, Franco's Ristorante is the perfect combination of traditional Italian food and your favorite modern pasta dishes. Family owned and operated since 1989, and nestled in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood just north of Guaranteed Rate Field. Step inside our restaurant, and you'll immediately feel at home, be treated like family, and understand what keeps our guests coming back again and again. Our authentic Italian food and atmosphere have helped us earn the honor of being named the Chicago Reader's 2016 "Best Local Restaurant" and "Best Place For a Cheap Date", Open Table's 2018 and 2019 "Diners' Choice" recipient, and 2018 Chicago's Best of the South Side.
