Francos Osteria and Deli - (Near East Sussex, london)

Suzanne Nisha We had a delicious meal yesterday evening. The team are warm and friendly. The food is well presented and flavoursome. We were slightly disappointed by the aubergine and pepper ratatouille as was dry and a small portion. The lamb curry and rice were amazing. We would definitely go again and recommend to friends and family.

Marcin Węsek We had extremely nice experience! Food was nice, drinks were good … on top of that we were sitting outside and weather was great, so my husband and 3 of our babies had a great time! We ordered 3 dishes between us and I was full, we are two fairly well build guys (both around 100kg) so we thought we might be hungry after just 1 dish each… nope we were wrong…. Food was delicious, presentation was great and our waiter was very helpful and friendly. He informed us about longer than usual wait (place was packed), sever drinks very fast and it was a pleasure to sit outside and enjoy sun! We found easily parking spot next to the venue. The only one thing I would recommend for owner is to make sure everyone firm staff know the menu and can describe what we can expect from products. I asked about coffee, what kind of coffee they have and what is the taste of it. They were not able to tell me in the bar. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THIS SPOT!!!

Cat T Absolutely delicious pasta, so flavourful, the lasagne especially was divine. Great homemade tiramisu also. Service was attentive, friendly and they really knew the food and wine.

Houssam Selma I just want to say a huge thank you to Ben, the owner, who’s been an absolute gentleman! I recently hired the downstairs venue to host my partner’s baby shower and birthday, and the staff were nothing short of incredible. Big shoutout to Fred and the whole team for making the day so special! We had such a wonderful experience — everything went perfectly — and I honestly can’t wait to hire the venue again. Ben, you’ve created such an amazing place with fantastic service. Until next time!

Katie Becker So great to be able to choose what I want in my sandwich rather than all the Costa’s and Starbucks pre-filled stuff. I had a deliciously soft baguette with the Christmas menu

Elliot M Roberto & Luccas food is always amazing! Ive tried many pasta dishes here over the past couple of years & it never fails to amaze & surprise in a good way. The service is first class, the restaurant is comfortable & the Aperol Spritz is the best Ive ever had (Ive had many all over the world) My girlfriend had the spaghetti carbonara tonight & I had the smoked salmon gnocchi (see the pictures) & both were incredibly tasty & decent sized portions. We shared the pistacchio cheesecake for dessert & it was soft, moist & creamy. I cant recommend Semola highly enough if you want an incredible food experience. Booking is essential as they are always busy due to their high ratings.
