Franco’s Italian Restaurant (Ocala)
***** Franco’s Italian Restaurant, 1801 East Silver Springs Boulevard,
Ocala, Florida 34470, (352) 304-5045.
Got a real good Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Franco’s Italian Restaurant in Ocala.
Short tale to tell, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Ed and Rosa “discovered” Franco’s Italian Restaurant and its food absolutely killed! Inside table/eat at- wine bar seating, no frills decor- unless you consider a few flat screen tvs on the walls – frills, reasonably priced full boat (appetizers, soups, salads, pastas, pizzas, entrees, etc) lunch/ dinner menus.
Let’s wrap up Franco’s Italian Restaurant by saying, delicious food, great service, reasonable prices, the fact that Ed picked up the check made this joint a homerun in Jeff Eats’ book! Just between us, if Ocala wasn’t such a schlep from Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode we would be real-steady customers and get to see (Ocala residents since 1984) Ed and Rosa who we first met back in Brooklyn in 1971 a whole lot more!

Jeff,
I have lived in Ocala for the past nine years. Like you, I was born and bred in Brooklyn and living in Canarsie until the Florida move.
I have eaten in loads of Italian joints all over Florida and I rank Franco’s right up there with the best of them.
By tge way, next time you are up here, give Zobra a try. Delicious Greek food!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
