Franca | Modern Italian and Fine Steaks
31 Sukhumvit 10 Alley, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110
Franca operates at the intersection of Roman trattoria spirit and fine-cut steak house, with a menu that moves between Truffle Risotto with Hokkaido Scallops and Australian Wagyu across ribeye, striploin, and tomahawk cuts. The room suits both date-night and small-group dinners with equal ease. Order the organic free-range roasted baby chicken if you want a local sourcing story alongside the Italian and steak programme.
You turn off Sukhumvit Road into Soi 10 and Franca sits a short walk in, positioned within easy reach of both BTS Asoke and BTS Nana depending on your direction of approach. The concept is a deliberate dual track: Modern Italian technique applied to classic preparations, and a curated fine-steak programme running alongside it. Neither overwhelms the other, and the result is a menu with genuine range.
On the Italian side, lead with the Truffle Risotto with Hokkaido Scallops, where earthy truffle meets ocean-sourced protein over creamy risotto. The Burrata Salad pairs creamy burrata with cherry tomatoes as a lighter opening. Pasta and other Italian classics fill the middle of the menu.
The steak section sources Australian Wagyu across three cuts: ribeye, striploin, and the format-statement tomahawk. Each cut is available as a standalone course. For something closer to home in concept, the Roasted Baby Chicken uses local organic free-range bird, slow-roasted. Dessert built for the table includes Creme Brulee.
Service hours run Tuesday through Friday from 17:00 to 23:30, with Saturday and Sunday extending to include a lunch window from 11:00 to 15:00 before the evening session reopens at 17:00. Reservations are available via the restaurant's Line account (francabkk) or by phone. Limited parking is noted on the venue's own social channels. The own Instagram and Facebook handle is franca.bkk.
