La cucina di Franco e Gemma

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cocina italiana de Franco y Gemma Type: Authentic ItalianAddress: Boulevard Levittown, Toa Baja, 00949, Puerto RicoPrice: $30-50 on average, per person. It is this price because you get what you pay for: excellent food and service.Parking: no parking, park on the street. The street has an emergency lane that you can park there. There are also a few abandoned homes that you can use and a church that keeps its gates open.Food: The food is homemade! Made with the love and care of an italian couple. Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and really special. The pasta is made to order and they import a lot of italian staples. The food is served in nice portions and they do tell you when the portion is large enough to share. They also have a great selection of wines. I tried the meat with mushroom sauce and the artichoke. I have never tasted an artichoke so good, it was like eating 3 different things in one vegetable. I also tried the fish soup: freshly caught fish and nice hint of spiciness. My mom tried the gnocchi and she gave me one to try, i was so good! So fluffy and soft like a pillow!Service: The owners retired from working in Italy and dedicate their time to this restaurant. The place is small but cozy, it feels like your in their home in Italy. The make great suggestions on what to eat, have a large selection of food, and really good specials. The service is identical to what you’ll experience if you ever go to Italy: you’re considered family. Come early before 7 to get a table or make reservations, it gets full fast. They have had some damages and issues due to the hurricane, but who hasn’t!I will return for more! Please enjoy the pictures below![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
