"The vegetarian options looked good on paper. Unfortunately the eggplant was rubbery with overly sweet chilli sauce. Overall the food was lacklustre and the service a bit slow. The gnocchi was very oily."

"I stopped by for lunch and felt invited to come inside as the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet (from the busy streets). The food was delicious and different from the other menus I glanced in the area. The service was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!"

"It was a delightful surprise to find this amazing restaurant while driving through Murwillumbah this weekend. The menu sounded amazing, and the only thing that disappointed me was the fact I didn't have a big enough appetite to try more of their menu, which all sounded amazing and thoughtfully curated. I chose the meatball starter and thought I would need a..." Read more

"I don't say this lightly when I say Johnny Franco's is one of the best dining experiences I've had. As soon as I walked in, I knew this wasn't your average small town bistro. The warm, welcoming architecture was apparent, as was the quality and uniqueness of the food. I can tell most things are handmade, and the pasta dishes are a fantastic blend of flavour..." Read more

We arrived well after lunch so things were a bit quiet, but the place was still inviting we were served quickly. I chose a slow cooked lamb and salad wrap from the specials menu that was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the hummus and minted yoghurt that was used to dres..." Read more

"Called in for an early dinner as they were open at 4.30pm. Came with the kids (one is a coeliac). They had a seperate fryer for Gluten Free, so the little one got chips (yay!)..... And we had an awesome feed with some great cocktails. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Murwillumbah!"

"Staff who could not be more welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and every request of our party was met, without demure. The beef brisket burger I had was delicious, as was my partner's pizza which they accommodated with a 1/2 and 1/2 order."

"This was our first time. We arrived after 8pm and they made us feel welcome. The menu looked good and watching the meals go out they looked good to. We shared 4 pizzas which we all enjoyed and took away leftovers. The service was very good, friendly but not overbearing. Would come back."

"Their food is not bad, however, service can be improving. As long as you are open, you need to be presentable and respectful to customers coming in."
