About

Franco’s Italian Restaurant is a cornerstone of Wigan’s culinary scene, nestled in a charming grade‑2 listed building that dates back to 1896. The historic façade blends Victorian character with modern comforts, while the two‑story dining area offers a relaxed, family‑friendly ambiance. From the moment you step inside, the warm lighting, comfortable seating, and friendly service set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The menu is a tribute to authentic Italian cuisine, showcasing classic staples such as hand‑made pastas, wood‑fire pizzas, and a selection of fresh fish and meat dishes. Franco’s commitment to quality is evident in the use of fresh, locally sourced produce alongside genuine Italian ingredients. Vegetarians and vegans will also find a wide range of delicious options, and children are happily catered to with a dedicated kids’ menu. A highlight of the dining experience is the “Early Bird” 3‑course meal, available Monday through Sunday at a special price of £19.95. This offering allows diners to sample a small but delightful selection of signature dishes for a great value before the restaurant opens for lunch and dinner. For those who prefer late‑night fare, the takeaway service runs every day from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm, perfect for a quick bite or a cozy night in. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, hosting a large group, or simply looking for a comforting meal in a friendly setting, Franco’s delivers impeccable service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel like home.
