Franco's Italian Bistro Catonsville

This was an absolute delight! We were looking for a place to eat near the Chesapeake Arena after my daughter's graduation. We stumbled upon Franco's and were not disappointed! We were a party of 9 and we were seated almost immediately. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! To add, they were able to accommodate 2 of our guests who had gluten allergies! They had their choice of pasta or pizza which made me love this place even more! Will definitely be visiting again!

Went on a Tuesday evening free street parking after 6 no wait but the crowd was steady. waiter was very attentive. Food came out as described on the menu. Good food, good service quick and to the point. Eggplant lasagna,fresh Garlic bread slices,Pizza and delicious Fries!!

Nice casual place with absolutely amazing pizza! Got the meatball and funghi pizzas. So good! Highly recommend. Service was also good. Server was nice and provided good recommendations

Brought my mom here for her birthday. We had a party of 5 and arrived early to make sure we could get a table quickly. We were greeted and seated right away. The drinks were good, the dinner was excellent. We had ravioli, booker salad, chicken piccata, shrimp on pasta. The service was outstanding!! The bill was very reasonable. The even brought out a free cannoli desert for my mom!!

What a great local spot in Catonsville. Delicious food, HUGE portions, and an overall "alive" little place on Frederick Rd. I'm gluten free and they can accommodate that with ease, offering so many choices. Always a treat to find when I'm dining out. This is a go to place for sure if you're craving real Italian. Yum!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Franco's Italian Bistro! We started with the Chicken Marsala, which was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the rich, savory sauce with mushrooms made it a standout dish. We also tried the Penne Pasta, and it was a delight—tender pasta with a flavorful sauce that left us wanting more. To top it off, the Mojito was refreshing and balanced, making it the perfect drink to complement our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. I can't recommend Franco's enough for anyone craving authentic Italian flavors! Can't wait to go back!

Ordered the white pizza with meatballs, calamari & chicken parm sandwich. The 🍕 was 9 of 10. The 🔥 in that oven really does a great job on the crust. I didn’t taste the 🐔 parm but the person that ordered it really liked it. They said it was probably 8.5 of 10 but they didn’t really care for the fries. They rated the calamari 8.5 of 10 but I rated it 5.5 of 10. The marinara and portion size was good but I feel like it could use more seasoning. We sat at the bar and enjoyed talking with the friendly staff. We got in about 4:30 or so which is the ideal time because we were able to get seated quickly. The restaurant started to fill up as we were leaving. I’ll definitely be back to try some of the other dishes and definitely some of the other 🍕 🍕.

I first tried Francos during the santa stumble event and I knew I had to come back because the food was that good. We definitely went back to support them after the break-in because the food and service makes you feel like you're home. Definitely give them a try and you will never be disappointed.
