Osteria Da Franco

Great place. Everything they make is great! Highly recommended! Update - Franco’s has quickly become one of my favourite places in the Bega Valley. Coffee and baked goods are seriously great. The passion for their craft is clearly evident!

Have visited here many times and staff are always friendly, food and coffee is always great. lucky to have something with European style foods like this in a country town. Lots of amazing food and Great coffee, never been disappointed.

Easily the best cafe in Bega and worth a drive from anywhere nearby. Staff are authentic, skilled and passionate about tradition, taste and presentation and it’s always a great experience visiting and having a chat. Make the trip, buy as much as you can; you wont regret it and will be back again after telling your friends. Garth.

A charming, family own Italian café in Bega. It’s not a big place, but it has such a warm and welcoming vibe. The owner’s kids often help with the service, which adds to the cozy and friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed a lovely brunch here, paired with excellent coffee. The display was full of tempting Italian pastries—Sfogliatella, tiramisu, and many other traditional treats. We couldn’t try them all, but I have to say, their tiramisu is truly outstanding and worth coming back for.

my favorite local coffee shop. I couldn’t get enough of their pistachio cannoli and almond croissants, both wonderfully flaky and nutty. My husband loved the vegetable quiche hearty and full of flavour. The coffee was top-notch, and the staff were so friendly. The vibe is warm and inviting, making it one of our favourite breakfast spots in town.

A must visit whether you live or a passing through Bega! Franco and his team deliver the best authentic Italian pastries, panini and coffee with passion!!!
