Franco's Casual Italian Restaurant

I remember when Franco's Casual Italian Restaurant was first established several years ago. Everyone I knew was excited because we all thought there should be more cuisine available in Orange Beach, AL other than seafood. We were very happy to find out that we would be able to get Italian food in our area at a place other than Olive Garden! We were very optimistic that this was going to be an excellent restaurant and were hoping that we would not be disappointed!
I remember the first time my friends and I visited Franco's Casual Italian Restaurant. It was sometime during the fall. When we walked in the first thing I noticed was the atmosphere was very nice. It was dimly lit and everything looked clean. The waitress was a very pretty women. She led us to our tables and was very prompt about the service she provided.
We all ordered a basket of french bread and a bottle of wine. The wine was delicious and so was the bread. So far everything looked great to us! The time of the real test was yet to come, though - the actual food! I ordered a lasagna dish. I think it was spinach lasagna.
The wait was a bit lengthy, but for the food I received, it was more than worth it! From the first bite I was hooked! This stuff was even better than what my mom use to make, and let me tell you, my mom made some killer lasagna.
I've been to Franco's Casual Italian Restaurant several times since then and every single time I've visited I've received the same service and was able to enjoy great food. I highly recommend this restaurant for people wanted something other than seafood in Orange Beach, AL.
