Franco at La Pizza Restuarant
King George Street, Johannesburg – 1978
Introducing Franco Forleo, a culinary luminary with a rich history in traditional Italian cuisine. Since the 1970s, Franco has been delighting diners with his homemade dishes, starting from his days as a pizza chef in Johannesburg’s CBD. In 1986, he took over a struggling restaurant in Parkview, turning it into a beloved culinary destination known as ‘the dining room of Parkview.’ With the help of his family, Franco continues to serve up authentic Italian flavours, inviting guests to savour the taste of tradition at Franco’s.
We hope to see you soon!
