We came here this time last year and can only say its got even better! Lovely service with a smile. The lovely lady owner/manager even pushed our pushchair to help the baby go off to sleep so our food didn't go cold. Lovely touch! Complementary bread and olives very nice. Cannot fault the food huge portions and tasted beautiful. My... More

Having visited this restaurant last year we went again this year hoping that the meal would be equally as good. We needn't have worried both our meals were excellent, they even provided a sauce for my wife's meal that wasn't on the menu. We could not fault anything about this restaurant and would certainly go back.

We ate here on a fairly quiet Sunday evening late April. Can only reiterate what other reviewers have said - great views, excellent food and very friendly attentive staff. We both ordered pizza and enjoyed our meal along with very reasonably priced Peroni and the house wine. You will not be disappointed.

OMG, go for the Pizza's and stay for everything else. The chicken dishes, steaks, desserts, all amazing. Great kids pizza and pasta also. Check it out. We were here last year and just had to come back, twice, this year. Fantastic value. P.S. bathrooms modern and spotless, other restaurants could learn from this.

Went to Casale Franco and had an absolutely fantastic meal. Service was great they could not have done more for us. The Pizza is superb because they have a proper wood fired PIzza.oven. Anyone who knows about Pizza knows how important that is. You get free home made bread, olives and baby tomatoes as a complimentary starter. Great views across... More

Cannot praise this restaurant enough. Excellent authentic homemade food - all made with passion by Franco and his team. The best we have ever eaten, so good we dined there on 6 nights!! Friendly, warm service from Giselle and Paco. Every dish we ate was superb - pizzas, pastas, fish and steaks. Just thinking about it now, my mouth is... More

If you are looking for authentic Italian food, good wine and great views, look out for this place. You will find it along the front, between Playa Blanca and Marina Rubican, 50 yards from the Princess Yaiza Hotel, above Burger King of all places. It's well worth seeking it out as the food is just the best.

Recently visited Playa Blanca, and heard amazing reviews of Casale Franco. Really enjoyed our meal, the waitress was really helpful and suggested a lovely bottle of wine. I went for a lasagne which was very tasty and my partner had homemade spaghetti with langoustines. I would loved to have seen an option such as ravioli on the menu as I... More

We have eaten there twice and the quality of food is excellent. Crudo pizza was recommended by a local and it didn't disappoint. We also had a rib eye salad which was most enjoyable. Worth a visit.
