OUR STORY
How we've become one of the best Italian Restaurant in Rockford from the small shop we started in 1986.
In 1986, 20 years after reaching the "Land of Opportunity", the Salamone Family opened the original Franchesco's with the dream of introducing our family's Sicilian history and traditions. Food preparation techniques, and recipes that were handed down over the last two centuries are certainly evident in our daily routine.
At 93 years of age, Frank Salamone the family patriarch, continues to prepare his original sauces and dishes that have attracted guests from all corners of our country.
After 33 years of striving towards culinary perfection, our latest generation of Salamones guarantees your experience at any of our restaurants will be unique, as well as exemplary. Join us as we visit our family's most memorable event of the day, "DINNER", where every sitting is always considered a feast.
