The chef described himself as a walking encyclopedia when it comes to food. He said he has trained by working in many restaurants in different places including Germany, Italy, France, Greece, England, Spain and Portugal.
“Franco the Foodie is not just an Italian chef that can cook Italian food,” Galllo said. “Franco the Foodie is the foodie.”
He wanted customers to know that whatever dish he adds to the menu isn’t a trial run. He has prepared the dish before.
Since opening the brick-and-mortar location, Gallo said he has enjoyed introducing people in the community to new food and his Italian culture.
“My favorite part is the appreciation and acceptance from our customers,” Gallo said.
Franco the Foodie is open Wednesday, April 26 through Saturday, April 29 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit the restaurant’s Facebook page.
