Francas Italian Kitchen and Bar - Alpine (CA)

5 /5 Shannon Harris: Did an order online but called twice because we missed something . The person on the phone couldn’t be more accommodating, he was so nice! Daughter was even worried that the gluten free cauliflower crust looked too good once we had it and called again to double check. Turns out it IS the gluten free crust, BEST one she’s ever had since being diagnosed with celiacs last Spring. Looked JUST like regular pizza crust and tasted great to all of us. Loved my pasta dish with herb butter sauce and husband loved his short rib ravioli with Alfredo. We will definitely order again, we’ve been missing out.

5 /5 Julie Van Horn: We had the most delicious dinner here! Staff is friendly and the food is fantastic! My boyfriend had the spaghetti and clams and the clams were FRESH - not canned like at Fillipi’s. We can’t wait to try even more dishes. This is our new go to for Italian.

5 /5 Teresa Garofalo: I ordered take out. The order was timed perfectly. Pizzas were amazing!! The cheese they use is delicious. The cheese and the crust can make or break a pizza. Francas has the right combination. They are delicious. I highly recommend!

5 /5 Cody Legacy Home Energy: Franca’s Italian Kitchen and Bar in Alpine is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants in East County San Diego. The food is authentic, full of flavor, and made with real care — from the fresh pasta to the wood-fired entrees, everything was delicious. What makes it even better is the family behind it. Paul, along with his sons Dom and Joe, treat every guest like family. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and passion for great food and service really shine through. If you’re looking for a family-owned Italian restaurant in Alpine with incredible food, welcoming service, and a great atmosphere, Franca’s should be your first stop.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5 /5 Cero Grubs: Was recommended this spot by a friend who lives in Alpine. I wasn’t so sure the drive would be worth but it was amazing !!! I got the penne Ala vodka and it was out of this world ! My buddy got the Angelos special which also great because I had a piece. My other buddy got the Tortelloni Siciliano and I had one and it was out of this world !!! They have a vast menu so I’m excited what I’m going to try when I come back. We shared fried zookini and calamari as appetizers. The waiter was very helpful for us explaining the menu. Lots of seating and the restaurant was clean which is always a plus ! They have a bar also! Can’t wait to come back
