Vegetarians beware!!! I just at pig for the first time in 24 years. Thanks a hell of a lot, Franco's. I hope everyone that reads this reviews understands that this is NOT an overly critical review. This is an honest scalding review. I have driven by this restaurant for years, and today decided to try them out. I was in the mood for some Italian food, and they had good reviews on Yelp. Now, here is the truth.
1. THEY PUT ANIMAL IN MY VEGETARIAN DISH!!!
2. Out of a staff of 6 there is only one Italian. The rest appear to have been born in Mexico.
3. Their House White Wine is $9.00 a glass. They do not post the price of the wine...until you get your bill.
I could go on and on, but I won't get to nit-picky. Let's be real. The main complaint is that they, whoever made my meal in the kitchen, decided to put prosciutto inside the eggplant rollatini. Maybe they don't know that people have dietary preferences and/or restrictions. Maybe they just don't care. Maybe they just don't know how to do their job. i'm not sure, but what I do know is that no one from the kitchen came to apologize. I know that I still paid for that meal. I know that before we left, the entire staff was sitting in the dining room eating their meal. You see, I was eating a very late lunch. They heard me complain to the waitress that I could not believe that such a grievous error was made, and NO ONE from the kitchen, i.e. the Chef, came to apologize to me. Even with me expressing my utter unhappiness about what they did to me, still, the staff just sat at their table and continued to eat their meal. Not only do I question their cooking skills, but I question their customer service skill, and quite frankly, their ability to be decent human beings.
I waited tables when I was younger, and I've done my fair share of eating out. There were a lot of right things that this restaurant staff could have done, they did nothing.
I am a vegetarian for my own personal beliefs. What about the Muslims and Jews out there that do not eat pork for religious purposes? By the way, I am writing this review with a stomach ache.
Bottom line, there are over 8 thousand restaurants in Orange County. Go eat at any one of them before you even think about eating here.
