Franco and Jill Esposito are set to open Franco's Italian Restaurant in August at 1801 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470, the former home of Lorito's Italian Kitchen, which operated for 50+ years in the space. The couple shared details about Franco's during an interview with FFBW.

Franco's Italian Restaurant will seat 98 diners and offer both lunch and dinner service. Lunch dishes will range from $9-14, while dinner meals will be priced between $15-30. The restaurant will also feature lunch and to-go specials, including BOGO offers on pizza, select pastas, and calzones. One particular deal will be two 16" pizzas with up to 4 toppings each for $26.

The new restaurant will preserve the large wine bottle and candle sign to advertise on Silver Springs Blvd, the Esposito's said. The restaurant will serve beer and wine, with a wine list ranging from house selections to more high-end options.

Franco Esposito moved from Italy to the US in 1991 and brings authentic recipes and culinary expertise to the new venture. He previously was a partner in Francesco's Ristorante and Stone Fired Pizza located in Summerfield, which borders The Villages.

The Espositos aim to connect with the Ocala community over good food and service come August 1st. View their dinner menu below:
