Hearty Italian caff: sandwiches, pastas, large portions, great value
"A tiny East End cafe, serving lunchtime staples 'to go' for local workers. The choice includes a variety of pastas, sarnies and salads. Head here for a super affordable credit-crunch lunch." - Them
"Frills are not in Franco’s remit and nor is portion control. The old-school Italian caff on Rivington Street has long been a favourite of locals and the Shoreditch lunchtime crowd, thanks to its hefty servings of carbs at very reasonable prices. Piping hot escalope between two slices of ciabatta and oozing mayo is a favourite among the hungover midweek crew, as are mounds of creamy carbonara and a cheese and bean-piled jacket potato." - team infatuation

"Shoreditch is London’s trendiest neighbourhood. Franco’s is a good old-fashioned greasy spoon and sandwich shop that does a job in bringing even the most fashionable hypebeasts back down to earth, and never stopped doing so throughout lockdown. Go early doors for a bacon sandwich, Full English, or just a slice of toast and cup of tea. At lunchtime, make a beeline for one of its good value and extremely popular protein-mayo-bonded sandwiches. It’s called takeaway, so, catch the drift." - James Hansen
