Franca's Perfect Gifts & Cafe Italia

Franca's is a family owned restaurant from the host to the cooks. She greets all of her guests warmly and chats with each table before a family member took our drink order. We started with the imported appetizer, the burrata (freshly flown in from Italy) a feast for the eyes. The combination of creamy burrata cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula, pesto and olive oil wrapped in a slice of focaccia bread melts in your mouth. A slight taste of salt lingers on the tongue after swallowing. The lamb chops, ribeye and palm sized prawns were made to perfection. Staff/family members were extremely attentive and made sure our glasses of wine or water were always full. It has a wonderful ambiance that welcomes family and friends.

Little Italian restaurant in Calgary is here! Love the pasta and the appetizer is not even in the menu was great and very limited only.I posted some pictures and I hope someone will tell us what kind of appetizer it is? Appreciate in advance!!!

Nice clean restaurant. A bit noisy. Fairly expensive. Good food mostly with white sauces. Wish there was a bit more tomato based sauces and more selection in BEEF like in spaghetti bolognese or veal

Was in Calgary visiting family, pick Franca’s for pre Father’s Day family dinner 2023, from little kids to seniors, 15 of us. We all had a wonderful, memorable quality time. Food was prefect. When visiting Calgary, will stop by again. Thank you Franca’s.
