“ Franco Manca – an amazing place for pizza lovers! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the pizza is the best we have ever had. There were four of us, and everyone was absolutely delighted with the taste and quality of the food. The only downside was that we ordered freshly squeezed orange juice, but what we received tasted more like water mixed with powder, something similar to lemonade. We asked the waiter to replace it, and luckily, he was very friendly and accommodating. He brought us new drinks, told us we could keep the juice, and even removed it from the bill – a very nice gesture. We visited the city for just one day from London, and now we wish there was a Franco Manca here. We still dream about that pizza – it was simply unforgettable! ”
“ Beautiful Italian taste experience thanks to the guys at Franco Manca. I had the Franco's Favourite, absolutely incredible, the basil really complimented the pizza. Miles better than Aromi. Service was super fast which is exactly what I needed, what with catching a train within the hour. Thanks guys, you're awesome! ”
“ We made a reservation here for 14 of us to celebrate a friend's birthday and couldn't of been happier! Making a reservation was fast and easy and when we arrived our table was prepared and we were served water for the table. Csaba, alongside a waiter (I believe to be called Louie) were incredible and super attentive, ensuring everything was correct for us and making the experience special. They also brought out our friends dessert with a candle, and were incredibly understanding when we took time to split the bill (14 ways, which I know is incredibly irritating to process!) And never made us feel like an inconvenience. They couldn't do more to help us, and we will definitely be back in future! Our water was constantly kept topped up, the food was piping hot and delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is divine. I'd like to thank all the staff for making our day so special. ”
“ Been meaning to visit Franco Manca for a while now and I'm glad I did, they did not disappoint. Table for 2 is a tiny bit small for keeping 3 dishes at a time but apart from that small thing the food was amazing. We had the day's special wild mushroom and artichoke pizza which was beautiful. We also had the Burrata bruschetta and the roasted Squash salad with walnuts, artichoke and goat cheese which was delicious. The add-on garlic infused oil added another dimension to the dishes. Definitely coming back for more ”
“ All good here. Busy place just off market square. Just what we needed for a leisurely lunch. Good pizza, wine & desserts. Friendly efficient staff. Toilets on 2nd floor which was a bit of a climb. ”
“ We ordered the pizza number 10 and 7 and we both liked our pizzas. Chewy, thin, tasty pizza dough and good qualty ingredients. I was overall happy with the service and atmosphere as well. Would definitely come again. ”
