Casa Franco — Restaurant in England

I have to start with saying we were looked after primarily by Nicky/Nicki? She was an utter superstar 💪💪🏆🏆👍👍and really made the visit for us. We watched her running around looking after customers and did an AMAZING job. She was a whirlwind of efficiency and was making up for at least one other member of staff's lack of interest in their role. Had a meal here evening of Saturday 12/09/2020 I was expecting it to be busy with the good weather and illuminations being on. I tried reserving a table, but they were all prebooked, lady I spoke to on the phone said they still had some walk in slots if we wanted to try our luck. We were lucky, there was one table free which was reserved for some 80 minutes later so we took it. within 2 or 3 minutes some 4 other groups came in after a table... There are also tables outside, but I had brought my parents up for the weekend and my mum is ill , so it had to be an inside table for us. My dad and I shared a calamari starter which was served super quick. Calamari and the aioli it came with were tasty. It was then a 45 minute wait for the main course, Nicky of course came to our rescue 💪👍❤️ My dad had one of the chicken dishes and it was the tastiest of the lot. I had the Penne Arrabiata (salami) which was tasty as well, surprisingly spicy with the fresh chillies, I mean its a spicy dish, but it was spicier than anticipated. Which I liked 😋 My mum randomly wanted scampi 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Which she enjoyed. Not a bad Italian restaurant at all, prices were...

In previous reviews I stated this is the best in Blackpool. I now have to update this to include everywhere as I have never found one at home that compares to this. Nicely situated and easy to find. The staff are great, friendly and nothing is to much for them.

Service was fast.The food is exceptional. Pizzas are perfect and really well prepared and cooked. They are thin but not crunchy just the way they should be. The pasta dishes were all very tasty and good sized portions. Desserts are just another bonus as these too are all great.

This has now become a must eat place for us anytime we visit Blackpool and we have even stopped off here to eat on the way further south. Nothing short of perfection.

The restaurant itself is really nice and the tables are well spaced and There is a good amount of room to get in and out. It is clean and nicely decorated. The staff thoroughly clean each table between guests.

If you are looking for Italian in Blackpool don't bother searching about just go straight there and save yourself from some walking as you won't...

Only gsve it a 1 because the food was OK. Terrible service booked table was told get there on time or would be given to someone else we should have realised at that point to say no thanks. Got there, table not ready waited 20 mims OK can accept that but not an hour and a half later for the garlic bread starter no acknowledgment or apology. Drinks came cokes and water gave bottles out no glasses had to ask and got the look of disgust when I did. Then another 30 mins and no sign of main by this time we asked how long and said we would just pay for what we has and leave as others tables had come on gone had starters mains and desserts. We were so polite to them but they were absolutely shocking. They said we were next again no appology still another 5 mins and then got the food 2 hours after sitting down. Thinking of going...
