Franco Manca

"A nice atmosphere, a clean and stylish restaurant. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed our pizzas. I have unusual food allergies and it was not a problem at all. I was given the allergen list, the chef checked if I was okay with my options and because everything is made to order there were no problems at all. We were served by a very polite, helpful and friendly Robyn, who made the whole lovely lunch a very pleasant experience. We will definitely be going back again. Thank you Robyn and Luca."

"Service disappointing , pizza second rate !! Unfortunately service was disorganise and greeted by lady manager arrived at 6 pm . Half the restaurant was empty , Manager wanted my group to sit on Corridor table . Middle of the service area and cash till , and entrance . When I said we prefer to sit on another table she Said it’s a table … and raised her eyes … it was so funny , she made us wait at entrance for few minutes until she decided where to sit us . Very reluctant to sit us in the other empty half of the restaurant . She took extremely long almost 15 minutes to take our drink order … arrived holding cokes in her hand . No Tray use anymore , came back five minutes later with other drink x2 for group very poor . Another table arrived behind us and she managed to take our order and there order at the same time …. Never seen that before ! Pizzas arrived 25 minutes later , dough was tough .. could not use a knife , had to pull it to eat it was extremely chewy and cold . Managers had changed over . No personal service at all , very unfriendly prices were expensive considering quality on offer . Unfortunately was unable to eat mine due to eat being chewy . With my experience with sour dough my professional opinion is the dough was made more then 24 hours as stipulated by the company , I think it was 36 to 48 hours old !! Not good .."

"My first visit to this new eatery, with good food, but very slow service. We ordered from the Christmas menu and when the food was finally ready, it was both hot and tasty. However… the service was very slow. We received very polite service, but an hour after arriving, we sat patiently, still waiting for our main course. They kindly offered a free dessert as an apology, resulting in two portions of Tiramisu in a take away box. The place was not full, but I guess as they have only recently opened, they are still not familiar with the level of passing business in Chichester. I would go back for the food, but only when the service level improves. (Visit was the week prior to Christmas)."

"Have been to the Franco Manca in Brighton and have to say this experience did not meet our expectations. Food was excellent, both pizzas were lovely and fresh. However, lots of basic items unavailable (pesto, orange/apple juice). It was fairly quiet for a Sunday evening however we waited a while for our food as it seemed the priority was heavily on getting deliveries out the door. The staff themselves (including managers) were friendly however I think they need to be trained a bit more as some prompting was needed for any basic queries we had. Overall atmosphere was pleasant, and decor was stylish."

"I came here on opening night which was busy as one expects. I was immediately impressed by how friendly and helpful the staff were, and amazed by their organisation skills as they had a proper system in place to deal with the large influx of visitors. Service was then quick and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely come back in the future !"
