About Da Franco Concord

Expect unhurried hospitality and soulful, home-style Italian cooking run personally by Franco and his family. The Concord dining room operates like a classic trattoria—welcoming tables with eclectic decor, low-key BYO wine, and an old-school chalkboard specials list. Regulars head straight for the heaping bowls of al dente spaghetti marinara packed with fresh prawns, crab, and mussels, or show up mid-week for the Wednesday mixed seafood platter. Lingering dinners finish with warm slices of freshly baked ricotta cake.

  • Family-run hospitality: Owner Franco and his family cook, serve, and chat with diners throughout the evening.
  • Wednesday seafood platter: Generous platters loaded with calamari, BBQ prawns, octopus, and fish draw mid-week diners.
  • Old-school BYO dining: Chalkboard specials pair with low-corkage BYO wine for long, relaxed group dinners.

Why Choose Da Franco Concord

Why guests choose Da Franco for genuine homestyle Italian dining, abundant seafood, and relaxed hospitality

  • Generously Portioned Fresh Seafood Pastas

    Dishes are packed with generous shellfish and seafood, from steaming bowls of spaghetti marinara to massive serves of spaghetti vongole.

    The mussels, huge prawns and crab pieces were so fresh and the dish came out piping hot.

  • Value-Driven Wednesday Seafood Platters

    Mid-week diners can enjoy a dedicated seafood night featuring mixed hot and cold platters including BBQ prawns, calamari, and octopus.

    we saw their Wednesday special $35 seafood platter (hot&cold mixed seafood) and we decided to try.

  • Personal Care and Proprietor Hospitality

    Owner Franco and his family personally prepare meals, visit tables to celebrate special moments, and sit down to chat after dinner.

    The owner Frank is a humble fellow who took the time to come out and congratulate us on our anniversary.

  • Traditional Dining Room Atmosphere

    Old-school blackboard specials and Italian decor evoke the nostalgic intimacy of dining in a welcoming local home.

    Franco and his wife made us feel like we were eating in their home.

  • Unhurried Feasts for Groups and Celebrations

    An unhurried dining pace allows large parties and friends to linger over multi-hour meals without pressure to turn the table.

    A great evening for our party of 6, stretching to 3 hours. Not because service was slow; because we didn’t want to leave!

  • Accessible BYO Wine Gatherings

    Guests can bring their favourite bottles to pair with hearty pasta and seafood courses at an accessible per-person corkage rate.

    Between 5 of us we had two bottles of wine (corkage at $3.50 pp), shared entrees, individual mains and shared desserts

    the spaghetti marinara which blew my mind. The mussels, huge prawns and crab pieces were so fresh and the dish came out piping hot.

    BBQ prawns: SS, 9/10. Some of the biggest and tastiest prawns I've ever had

    The cake was amazing. I gave the chef a compliment because it was freshly baked, hot, with tasty ice cream and fresh cream *chef kiss*

Beyond the menu

Attentive family hospitality and thoughtful gestures that make dining feel like being welcomed into an Italian home.

  • Unprompted Dietary Accommodations

    When dietary requirements are noted, the kitchen proactively prepares off-menu complimentary gluten-free bruschetta and bread so dining partners can share the ritual without being left out.

  • Personal Anniversary Visits

    Owner Frank takes the time to personally step out from the dining room kitchen to converse with guests and celebrate special milestones like anniversaries.

  • End-of-Night Table Visits

    Rather than rushing guests out at closing time, Franco and Luciana sit down with tables at the end of the evening to chat once other patrons have departed.

  • Complimentary Table Bread and Oil

    The kitchen welcomes guests with complimentary Italian bread served alongside olive oil and balsamic vinegar as they settle into their meal.

Before you head over

Practical tips on bookings, timing, and parking for your visit to Da Franco Concord

  • Book Ahead for Prime Nights

    The dining room is intimate and fills up quickly, especially on busy nights like the Wednesday seafood special, so reserving a table ahead of time is strongly recommended.

  • Allow Time for Made-to-Order Dishes

    Because dishes are made to order from scratch by a family kitchen, plates may take twenty minutes or slightly longer to arrive during peak rushes—plan for an unhurried dinner.

  • Park on Ada Street Behind the Venue

    The restaurant fronts a clearway on Parramatta Road, so street parking on the main strip is restricted; head around back to Ada Street or nearby side streets for easy parking.
