Delicious By Franco is a family run Italian restaurant and pizzeria at 320 Kentish Town Road. The kitchen has particular roots in Caorle, a coastal town near Venice, and combines familiar pizza and pasta with regional seafood dishes. Its relaxed dining room serves lunch and dinner, with takeaway and delivery also available.
Pizzas are baked on a thin, crisp Italian base and range from simple tomato and mozzarella recipes to combinations involving sausage, courgette, bresaola, mushrooms, Gorgonzola, speck and truffle oil. Garlic focaccia, caprese salad and other antipasti offer an easy start. Vegetarian toppings can be mixed across several styles.
Pasta sauces include arrabbiata, pesto with artichokes, mushroom cream, amatriciana, bolognese, carbonara and tuna with olives. Homemade truffle and ricotta ravioli with porcini, sage and pecorino gives the selection a more elaborate centrepiece. Venetian bigoli with cuttlefish and its ink reflects the owners’ coastal heritage and sets the menu apart from a standard pizzeria.
Homemade tiramisu and folded Nutella pizza provide contrasting desserts, followed by coffee or a digestif. Italian beer, wine and soft drinks accompany the food. Delicious By Franco brings a personal regional identity to its broad neighbourhood menu, welcoming diners for everything from a quick pizza to a longer seafood and pasta meal.
