Franco's Lounge Restaurant & Music Club

Was referred to this restaurant via local bartender and boy were we lucky. The way you enter is special. Just trust me! We sat at the bar because this place is always full and our bartender was excellent. He was clearly well trained but you can’t train for. Perfect attitude. That was all on him. The food was all homemade and portions were grand. Definitely make a reservation at least a week in advance and tell Fred I said hi!

This is by far the best restaurant in Williamsport. And it’s not even close. The owner is always there to greet you at the door, the servers are so nice and always take great care of us, and the food has never left me disappointed. You can’t really go wrong with ordering, but if you don’t know where to start get the tips and torts. It is my favorite dish served anywhere. I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. I can understand that the intimate seating may not be everyone’s favorite, but I still don’t understand how it only has 4.8 stars, it’s criminal that it doesn’t have at least a 4.9 average. Thank you Franco’s for everything! Much love.

I haven't been to Franco's in maybe 12 years. But the lure of Pasta and my recollection of them having Lambic Framboise on tap gave me a craving to visit again.

There is a pay parking lot just a few yards away in which we parked and walked. Upon arrival I was unaware of two things. It's apparently now very "speak-easy esque" the door is locked and you have to ring a door bell or call for entry. And reservations are pretty much required. I did not have a reservation. We were very fortunate that they were able to accommodate us without a reservation because the place was packed. We were seated at a small table for two in the back. Our wait

Franco’s is a great spot. We’ve been here twice. The food is ALWAYS great and we always leave full. Everything appears to be homemade, which is awesome. The staff is very friendly too. This really makes the experience nice. The owner normally walks around and speaks to everyone, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend dining here. Just make sure you make a reservation.

In Williamsport, there’s Franco’s. I’d like to call it a restaurant, but it’s so much more than that. You have to ring the buzzer to get in, and before you ring the buzzer, you must have a reservation to be considered. It feels exclusive; it feels like a secret. But those who know, know. Upon entering, I’m greeted by the friendliest of faces—a gentle giant, whose face is also on his shirt. My table is ready, and I am seated right away. It smells like nostalgia, like your grandma’s house on a Sunday evening. It sounds like aunts and uncles laughing and catching up. The music, set at the perfect volume, includes Nina Simone’s "I’ll Put a Spell on You" and Etta James’s "Sunday Kind of Love," which captures the exact feeling of the place. The drinks: a limoncello spritzer and a drink called
