Ristorrante Fabuloso restaurant has recently had a name change and was formerly known as Franco's.

Good, friendly atmosphere. Helpful and cheerful staff. Despite being packed out on a Saturday night the smiles never left the waitresses faces and everybody seemed happy to serve.

Food was excellent, well cooked and delicately seasoned. A good range of dishes available, including an extensive selection of seafood specials. I was in a party of 7, and nobody had any complaints about the food. Prices are pretty good too. The meal for 7, including 6 bottles of wine, came to less than £250.
