In the open kitchen · Christchurch CBD
Rolled, cut and cooked in view — the pasta is the heart of the Franco kitchen. Silky tagliatelle, pillowy gnocchi and whatever the season's calling for, made by hand upstairs in the heart of the city.
Made by hand
Every day, our kitchen rolls pasta fresh — you can watch it happen from the dining room upstairs. No shortcuts, no dried substitutes, just proper handmade pasta the Italian way. Full story coming soon.
