About

Franco's Pasta Cucina has been serving Orange County, CA, for sixteen years.  It was founded in the Palm Café Food Court at the Michelson Marketplace (two blocks South East of John Wayne Airport), Irvine, CA.  The menu of authentic Italian dishes includes over 25 selections from Linguini with Clams to Chicken Marsala.  All meals are cooked to order fresh and include a drink and salad -- most are priced around $10.00.  

Carrying on the tradition established by original Chef Franco in Los Angeles (see his photos with celebrities at the kitchen), Chef Gloria Mogollon uses only the finest and freshest ingredients and recipes from the heart of Italy.  Take Out and Catering are also available.

Franco’s Pasta Cucina was named Best Food-Court Eatery by the OC Weekly in 2008 and Best Fast Food Italian Restaurant by the OC Register.  Find Franco’s at the Michelson Marketplace, in the Palm Café, 2222 Michelson Drive, Irvine, CA 92612.
