Restaurants near William W. Johnson House

VERY PLEASED!! Highly recommend. Food selection was great, the quality and taste were top shelf. This was our first experience at the Franklin location. Everything lived up to our expectation . Reservation was easy to make on OpenTable. The staff greeted us and quickly took us to our table. Our server, Makenzi, was friendly, attentive and did a great job. She quickly took our order and checked with us at the right times throughout the meal. We never felt rushed. We look forward to having her as our server again. There were families of all ages, couple and friend groups. The noise level was in keeping with most popular restaurants today. Looking forward to going back again. NOTE: Street parking can be tough but there is a free garage right behind the restaurant.

Wonderful experience! Sunday happy hour is an amazing deal for great food.

My husband and I had a very nice lunch at Pelato. The food was delicious, our server, C.F., was very friendly and had great recommendations, and the ambience was relaxing. Granted, we were there for lunch on Saturday, so that probably helped, but noisy restaurants are unpleasant for me, so I appreciated that we could comfortably speak to each other. We had the garlic bread (which my husband liked better than I did), burnt broccolini and campanelle shrimp limone (both fantastic), the meatballs (good), and for dessert, the dark chocolate budino and the trio of mini gelato sandwiches. The budino was delicious. The sandwiches were good but would have been better if the pastry had been warmed a bit before adding hard-frozen gelato. Overall I highly recommend Pelato, and we will definitely be back.

Food and service is always wonderful. We will go back again soon. Love their meatball appetizer.

Amanda, from Long Island, was our server. She was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the entire menu and quick to refill our glasses. The food was cooked to perfection.
