Franco on Melrose

First dinner in Cali. Staff made us feel very welcomed and the squash ravioli was to die for. Compliments to everyone!

Such a cute italian restaurant with delicious pasta! Walk all the way back past the kitchen to get to the restaurant!

Parking
It looks like they have valet available, but we stopped by Sunday night at 6PM and didn't see an attendant available, but we were able to find street parking right in front for free.

We had reservations just in case, but it looks like we were the first customers for the night.

-Pestana- Seemed like everyone liked this dish so we decided to go for it. It's a great seafood dish (and they gave a good amount of seafood too!)
-Fusilli Franco's Mom- My favorite dish from our dinner. It definitely did seem like a safe choice, but I thought it was delicious!
-Complimentary bread- the bread was actually really good! But it did seem like whoever cut it just smushed the bread to cut it...

Service was great and we had someone check up on us often. We did feel a bit judged for not ordering appetizers or dessert though.

It was my first time to dine in this restaurant and I was just so amazed at their foods, services and how the entire restaurant looks. The atmosphere is so nice that you will surely love and enjoy eating, the foods are so delicious that you'll want to eat more and the way they presented them are so tempting. Also, not to mention their one of a kind services. Amazing!

What a delight! The dishes we tried were flavourful. The portions are a bit small, so I suggest sharing. Excellent service... I couldn't have asked for better.
