The uncluttered wooden table tops and mismatched chairs will seat 78 guests, with an additional 15... read more

Good food
EXCELLENT FOOD - but be willing to wait! – I LOVE Francesca's. Their food is excellent. Their wine is good and very reasonably priced. My fave appetizer - prosciutto di parma. Muah. Wine/Appetizers/Food - all VERY highly recommended. Now the downside: You have to be willing to wait. This past weekend took us almost 2 hours to get seated (but of course we went with no reservations). The host did bring us a round of champagne as a way to make up for the wait. It's also very noisy, so having conversation can be difficult. It's ... read more
Great and reasonably priced It's a little noisy but a great place to come with a group--just make sure to call ahead. Generally, I don't mind waiting at this place though, because the bar is pretty nice and the bartenders are friendly. The food is high-quality and very reasonably priced. They also have a great selection of meats and cheeses.
great! This is a great little restaurant. It was pretty crowded so I'd recommend reservations, but I really enjoyed my meal here and thought that it was reasonably priced.
Honor your guest's reservations! – My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night. We had an 8pm reservation but were not seated until 8:50. We think that the host forgot about us a couple times because even after following up twice and being told we were "next," other parties kept being seated before us. Naturally, we were frustrated. After the meal, we spoke to the manager, who only offered excuses ("it was an unusually crazy night") and nothing else. He just wanted to know "but will you come back?" It's too bad because the f... read more
Great food, Great prices!! – Everything we tried was great! The appetizer salads were a good size, and tasty. The pizza was crisp and flavourful. We will be back here soon. Good service and the prices are pretty good.
Wonderful – I am still drooling of the thought of eating here. Try the seafood dishes.. all the food is bursting with flavor. The best in town. I will continue to enjoy the friendly staff and wonderful variety of foods on the menu.
was expecting more... – i would have to say that i was disappointed. Food was not all that great and the portions were tiny. The service was good, but could not make up for the disappointment with the food. I would think twice before going in there again, especially with all the other good alternatives in the neighborhood.
