History

Established in 2009.

Old timers will fondly remember TANO’S Pizza of Framingham. This was Franco’s Trattoria in it’s infancy. In later years, Franco opened Franco’s Café on Rte 9 in Framingham where he established a reputation for serving up the best Italian-​style pizza int he Metrowest. After opening and closing in Natick after a few short years, Franco chose to bring his fabulous Italian fare to the bustling and unique Mill Village of Sudbury, Franco’s Trattoria is just around the corner from Nobscot,& the Garden in the Woods, a few miles from Sudbury’s Wayside Inn, and the well known Russell’s Garden Center of Wayland.

People come from surrounding towns to enjoy the casual and family-​friendly atmosphere, the plentiful made-​to-​oder meals and mouth-​watering Italian-​style pizza. The menu changes periodically to suit the needs of Franco’s loyal customers. Heavily influenced by customer suggestions and dietary demands, Franco recently added some gluten-​free pizza.

This is a great place, but they upset me. I ordered myself almost $ 12 worth of food and used my credit card. I went back up to the counter a few minutes later to purchase one more item and was told the minimum credit card purchase is $ 5. So if you want another drink, bag of chips etc. you cannot get that unless you have cash… that’s totally ridiculous and therefore I won’t be back. I’m in a good mood and the food is good or I would give a lower rating. They should make an exception for people still in the store that have already purchased more than $ 5 worth of items. It would be different if I had left and came back later but I was still in the store… ah technology.

We are frequent visitors to Franco’s and usually have a good experience. The pizza is great, awesome salads with fresh ingredients and we have enjoyed the pasta dishes. Only complaint is they rarely deliver, 9 times out of 10 when we call they aren’t accepting deliveries. The chicken parm is also hit or miss, sometimes it’s great other times it has been burnt, chewy chicken. Highly recommend Franco’s however, if you avoid delivery and go for the pizzas, salads or pasta dishes!

Delicious food and excellent service! Great for dinner or lunch. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming, we were greeted with a smile. I like them as much as I like the food! I would definitely come again with my family.

Wonderful owners, great portions, and fantastic prices. This is a great place to grab a quick bite that’s delicious and filling or order delivery!
The eggplant al forno is amazing! Great cheese to eggplant ratio with a tasty sauce.
Paninis are spot on. All ingredients taste super fresh.

A hidden gem of Sudbury. Their food is always spectacular and their customer service is great. I’m a big fan of their paninis – big portions and stuffed to the max. Their dessert menu is delicious as well – try the dynamite stick!

AMAZING food. I’m Italian so I rarely eat other people’s Italian food. Their eggplant was to die for. I wanted eggplant parm… but on a Panini. That wasn’t on the menu but the extremely kind man taking our order said he’d make it for me. It was so delicious. The eggplant was so soft and tender unlike most restaurants. Tasted just like my moms. Definitely a new hot spot. We sat and ate it there. Nice environment. They also have yummy looking desserts and gelato. A must try if you’re in the area.

I got the chicken parm and spaghetti with cheesy garlic bread. The chicken parm was very thin and a bit rubbery. The cheesy garlic bread was good and I’m glad I ordered that as I was able to soak up the watery sauce with it.
Service was nice tho and I would go there again to try other menu items.

Love it here, the portion sizes are great for the price and the food always comes quickly when dining in.
The paninis are my favorite, and my go to is always the Parma, which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, tomato, and basil.

Franco’s served us well when I was staying in Framingham on business. My wife and I went here twice in our one week stay in the area.
My wife loved the Fettuccine Alfredo… It was perfectly creamy and delicious. We make our own Alfredo at home, so we’re quite critical when ordering it out. Good job, Franco’s!
I ordered the Caprese Focaccia Panini and it was quite good. It’s served with artichoke, fresh mozz, tomatoes, grilled eggplant and fresh basil… Then drizzled with balsamic dressing. What?! Yeah. You heard right. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, it is. You really can’t go wrong with all of the right ingredients.
On top of good food, Franco’s also has a wonderful staff; everyone from the prep cooks to the order-​taker were all professional, courteous and genuinely concerned with making sure you’re enjoying your food and experience while dining in.
If you’re anywhere near Sudbury, I highly recommend you check this place out. Easily some of the best food and service in the area.

I am already looking forward to my next possible visit to Franco’s Trattoria because the meal I ate there was so delicious. I just wanted something tasty for take-​out. Turns out I got a truly wonderful meal at take-​out prices with a nice eat-​in dining area.
I ate a caesar salad with grilled chicken added to it. The romaine was crisp and fresh. The chicken was awesome because they grilled it to heat it up a bit and the grill added a wonderful flavor to the tender white meat chicken pieces. That went perfectly with the good parm on top. Perfect salad. It came with a couple triangles of pita-​like bread but I was all about the lettuce and chicken/​parm. Dressing came on the side and was also good.
My daughter ate gelato. She let me have a taste of vanilla. It was good, too.
I got to chatting with the guy at the desk, who was nice and seemed genuinely pleased that I liked my salad. I started to get the feeling I was at a «real» trattoria, or a small town place where the cooks really care about what they make.
And that led me to the unnecessary indulgence of dessert. I was just so curious what was inside the chocolate square called «Dynamite Delight.» He described some ingredients including cannoli filling so of course I had to try it. Yes. Good. Yes, you should definitely get one.
So I had to also try the limoncello cake. I took the sweets in a white, pastry box to go and forgot a fork. I often get excited to try bakery items and then don’t finish eating them… unless they are this good. Really great. I ate them both without a fork on the way home!
The only hard part about going back will be to try something new because I am tempted to get the same, delicious things I ate last time.
Wish I had taken photos but didn’t have my phone and gobbled it all up before taking any pictures. The place was pleasant and clean. There is extra parking in the back.

Heard good things, so finally tried this place out on Friday night. Was pleased to find all the good reviews were true. I got the Eggplant AlForno and under all the sauce and cheese was a very nicely cooked crispy eggplant. It was delicious, and probably ate more than I should have cause I kept wanting to take bits.
Location is cute and has a very comfortable at home vibe. Staff was very pleasant.
