Review of Franco's Trattoria

Delicious homemade meatballs. Excellent homemade linguine for the wheatavore. Top-flight gluten free penne for the celiac. The tomato sauce is slightly spicy, with just the right amount of garlic, and small chunks of tomatoes. Delicious.

The wine - a montepulciano, which, despite being inexpensive, had legs.

The man at the counter is charming and a good host.

The desserts we chose on his advice were strawberry gelato with Prosecco, and hazelnut chocolate gelato with Frangelico. So delicious.The espresso was a double shot, served neat, as it should be.

This restaurant is not fancy, but you will eat like you are in Italy, even though you will look out the window and realize you are in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
