Franca

About Franca

Franca is a modern Italian restaurant and steakhouse at 31 Sukhumvit Soi 10, Khlong Toei, a short walk from BTS Asok and Nana. Reviewers describe a bright, modern dining room with large tables, and Chope pitches it as upscale but welcoming, for anything from a business dinner to a romantic date.

The menu mixes Italian classics with Australian wagyu steaks such as ribeye, tomahawk and striploin. Other dishes people mention include truffle risotto with Hokkaido scallops, spaghetti carbonara, burrata salad and wagyu toast. Its best-known feature is a create-your-own cocktail menu: about 390 baht, with a printed design on the foam for about 80 baht more. Chope estimates 500 to 1,500 baht a person.

For a date, the custom cocktails make a fun, personal touch, for example printing your names or a message. Steaks to share make it a good celebration dinner. Some Tripadvisor reviewers found it loud and the air-conditioning strong, so a weeknight or weekend lunch is likely calmer than a busy weekend evening.
