Franco’s Cucina Italian Bakery & Deli

Words cannot describe how amazing their food is. All of the employee’s are so nice and the owners actually really care about their customers. I have gone there now for a long time and seriously the best food around the area.

Franco’s has been a staple in my diet since the 90’s. Their pasta and sheet pizza is fantastic. The fresh sandwiches on focaccia are always a treat. But I really go for the pastries and cookies. If you’re having a large party try the giant cannoli, it will feed an army! Top marks to this family business!!!

Very busy, but it moves quickly and the girls behind the counter do a great job. I’ve never had anything bad there; I have yet to find an item that I feel they do better than anyone else though. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad thing. I have my place for the best cannoli, sandwich, pasta, etc… but usually that’s the only thing I love at that particular place. Everything here is excellent and it has something for everyone.

It’s a little hard to find but it’s directly behind the Sonic Drive-​in off of Barrington Road. I kind of like the location because it makes it feel more like a local/​hidden gem.
Awesome sandwiches and pastas for lunch. It can get a little pricey but it is definitely worth it (I just make this my Friday payday lunch). I have been working my way down the sandwich list and haven’t found a bad one yet. I recommend the 8″ Focaccia bread with any of the sandwiches.

One word describes it all… Great!
If you are looking for a great Italian Deli, look no further, this is it!
Sandwiches, Hot Meals, Deserts, Salads, eat in or to go, fast friendly service!

I come here often food is always good the staff is very friendly and prices are very reasonable they make really good sandwiches and the baked goods are excellent

been in and out of this place for years. Used to come in to get biscotti for my lovely bride, then cannoli and other treats, and now that I live in Iowa –and can’t get any decent bread– focacia’s for sandwiches.
stopped in with sis-​in-​law after sunday meeting for sandwiches and stuff. I tucked into a wee mufalotto with gusto, she happily nibbled the meat-​and-​artichoke heart sammich and we sampled from a small buffet of salads, the potatoey salad was sooo good i would have got a bucket except for the 300 mile drive home (have to bring the travel fridge next time). picked up some 9″ focacias and biscotti and s-​i-​l sent two additional boxes of baked goods with because she likes me…

Came here for the first time last week had their Italian sandwich it was amazing my partner had their lemon chicken really good too we are now officially one of their regulars if you have not tried this place you should

I’ve been coming here for years and years. I’m a huge fan of their pastas and pastries. I wish I could say the same for their subs because the bread is perfect. I am not, however, a fan of the vinegary dressing they use. It is not good. The location being at the entrance to an industrial park is odd but works for me because there’s a traffic signal onto Barrington Road. The cannoli is perfect!

I see their large sandwiches as a challenge. If I can finish it and still walk, I win.
Only have gotten around to the sandwiches so far, but I hear good things about the rest. I’ll be upping my game to see what other walking inhibiting challenges await.

We were out the other day and saw the bakery so we stop by ohh this was two months ago. We stop by 2 or 3 times a week. The cheese sticks are amazingly delicious.

As an Italian American who has 29 years experience working in the food business I highly recommend Franco’s. All aspects from the bakery goods to pizza to pasta to subs are all 5 stars. The cheese sticks are awesome, they will amaze guests if you cater from Franco’s.
The Italian Sub is authentic/​soooo good and only $ 4.99 for a 6inch. So robust I wish you luck finishing it. The thick pizza slices will leave a smile and you will come back for more
If you need fresh baked bread or canoli’s this is as good and probably better than anywhere else you go. I eat here when I am in the area. Always clean with friendly help. This is a must if you need catering or a great lunch.

Awesome… that about sums it up. I have tried the deli sandwiches and numerous items from the bakery and have not been disappointed. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I can’t wait for my next visit. Keep up the good work !!

This place never let’s me down. A great lunch spot with a different special daily. If it’s hot food or a huge sandwich this is the place for you. One of my favorites is on Thursday for pasta Florentine this comes with a freshly made roll… out of this world. Relaxed atmosphere and a solid family business. They do catering and they do that right too. Great for any occasion. In the spring this is the place to get your fat Tuesday’s pastries… I know I would spell that wrong :-). Stop in the staff is always happy to help. If it’s to have lunch, pick up dinner to go (since they close at 6) or order for your next gathering this is a place I would strongly suggest. It is right behind Sonic off of Barrington road. Thank you for always being there for me and my functions.

Great food, fresh! Eggplant Parmesan is by far my favorite! I am also a huge fan of their tuna sandwich but I have yet to try something bad. Everything has always. Been so delicious

I was with a couple of friends when one had suggested going to Franco’s for lunch. I had never been there so we decided to go. When you first walk in there are wonderful looking pastries, and butter cookies… I looooove butter cookies. Couldn’t help myself and bought a pound and a half, some for home, some to share at work. Each of the cookies, and other baked goods were well made and very appealing. I enjoyed a cookie later they were delicious. After tearing myself from the baked goods my friends and I ordered various items for lunch. Everything was fresh, delicious and the prices reasonable. The owner greeted us and was very down to earth and personable. The young man behind the counter who helped me decide what to order was helpful, friendly and did not hurry me when I was asking questions about the various selections. Though I live a good half hour away, I will definitely be back, and bring friends and family with me. I can’t wait to try more of their cuisine. What a jewel found off the beaten path.

A friend of mine invited me for lunch one day to this Bakery I was surprised in the beginning that’s we going lunch to a bakery but I was very surprised to find that this bakery have very good food. They have very good Italian sandwiches and have like three or four different dishes delicious but the best thing was there the cannoli oh my god so delicious I have to take some home with me if you want to Schaumburg area or Streamwood area stop by this bakery you will not be disappointed.

Fresh! Delicious. They have daily specials with something different on the menu each day! Love their panzerratis and their home made marinara. We try to make a point to stop in when we are in the area. Everything is good.

Franco’s is perfect. It has amazing italian cuisine (and out of this world desserts), in a casual atmosphere. I’ve been eating here almost weekly since moving to the area. It’s great for lunch to go if you work nearby, or even to hide out on your lunch break. The staff is really nice too, the owner is often there serving customers as well.
There hasn’t been a thing that I’ve tried and haven’t liked. There’s daily specials, and I love the farfalle in cream sauce with peas and bacon on Mondays. They also have the best meatballs I’ve had anywhere! Be sure to get a cannoli when you stop in, you won’t regret it.

best subs, Best pasta, best italian sausage & green peppers, best cheese stick pastries (filled with different flavors) large italian bakery with many choices! My favorite hidden gem near Schaumburg! They also donated pastries for the MS walk!!!:)
The manager is nice and great customer service!

Great shop that offers a ton of different food choices. The staff has always been very friendly when I’ve been in there. All of their food choices are great and the pricing is beyond reasonable! Would recommend to anyone!
