Franco Manca Birmingham

Set in Birmingham City Centre, Franco Manca brings an easy-going Italian sensibility to the city’s dining scene. The restaurant is casual, sociable and focused on flavour, making it a natural choice for anything from a swift slice to a lingering supper.

The menu leans into generous grazing and well-judged simplicity. An antipasti platter might weave together grilled artichoke, butternut squash, kalamata olives and ripe tomatoes, while charcuterie pairs Italian meats with rocket and cheese.

Sourdough pizza takes centre stage, from a pure margherita to Franco’s Go Margherita with buffalo mozzarella and San Marzano tomato. Crisp salads with grains and dips of basil pesto or hot honey round out the spread. Classic desserts include affogato, a signature tiramisu, and cheesecake with Amarena cherries.

Book a table and follow the crumb trail to contentment, where simple, authentic flavours make every visit feel like love at first crust.
