Franco's Cafe, 3614 Rochester Road, Troy, 528-0153. This is another of those "sleeper" types of Italian restaurants you hear about, as authentic as its own- er, Sicilian-born Franco Gior- lando.

His innovative ways of cooking are also a rev- elation, but authenticity is the keyword of success for an Ital- ian dining spot that has been "discovered."
