Franca's Ristorante

Our Story

Franca’s is an Italian-inspired restaurant, thoughtfully created as a tribute to our founder, Francesca. Guided by her passion for food, family, and connection, Franca’s brings a fresh perspective to timeless traditions.


Guiding the culinary direction of the kitchen is Executive Chef John Hornsey, whose approach blends refined technique with a deep respect for simplicity. With a background in both contemporary dining and traditional European kitchens, John leads a menu that’s driven by seasonal produce, handmade pasta, and thoughtfully selected wines all crafted to highlight the best of the region.


Our team brings together experience from modern kitchens and traditional Italian homes, united by a passion for cooking that connects people.


From the soft terracotta tones to the relaxed, welcoming layout, every detail at Franca’s is designed to make you feel at home, comfortable, connected and never in a rush. Whether you’re here for a quick bite, a quiet dinner, or a celebration with family and friends — you’re always welcome at our table.
