Today we honor and celebrate the birthday of our beloved Nonna Ida — a woman whose love, warmth, and kitchen were the heart of our family. She was known for her delicious home-cooked meals and the fresh produce she proudly grew herself. No one ever left her home hungry, and that same spirit lives on in everything we do at Franco’s Restaurant Group.

Her legacy is woven into our love for the restaurant business, and we know she would be so proud of her family.

We miss you more than words can say, Nonna. Buon Compleanno — your love continues to nourish us every day 🪽❤️🍝
