I have eaten at Francesca's a few times. Food was always great and the service good. Last night we held my 50th birthday party there and they went above and beyond. There were 14 of us and they had a large table set up for us on the patio, which we had requested. Eliza was our server and she was phenomenal!!! Not easy taking care of a table that large, especially when we had a few late arrivals. She was so pleasant, professional, fun, and efficient. Our food was absolutely phenomenal, which it always is there. As the night wore on the weather brought us a few sprinkles which we didn't mind, there were table umbrellas, but then the wind really picked up. Gale the manager along with his staff came out and told us they had set up a private room to move our party to! They helped us get everything inside and Eliza continued to take great care of us. They really took care of us and helped to make my 50th so very, very special. We will be going there often and having more parties there for sure!

My family went to this restaurant the other night. The food was delicious, the waitress Eliza was terrific, however the background music drove us crazy. Who plays '70s love songs at an Italian restaurant? I would highly suggest that they change the music from 70s love songs over to either jazz, swing, or big-band music. The music was very distracting all night...

Had a pleasant brunch here. The food was great, and they also offered mimosas and bloody marys. The interior was very cozy with the swirling wooden ceilings. Great place for date night too, and we will be back for a dinner soon!

A cozy atmosphere with top notch Italian food. They have special brunch menu with great selection, price is reasonable and servings are large. Quality and presentation of food is what you would expect from how presentable the ambiance is. Would definitely dine here again soon.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago. Amazing staff and elegant decor.
Travis Path
Fantastic food and service - especially at this price point. Restaurant has a nice, cozy feel to it. Perfect place for lunch when on a day trip into Chicago.
Adri Takacs
Food and service were good, but not anything super special. Cute little local spot for some Italian food or a date night.
Emily Path
Amazing, light food makes for a perfect lunch on the go. Attentive wait staff, fun atmosphere and a beautiful ceiling which captivates the eye. If you love GOOD Italian food, this is the place to go!

The food was really delicious! However, the service was a stark contrast to delicious food. We saw our server at the beginning when he took our order. Someone else brought our food and I intended to order a wine to go with my dish. Unfortunately the server only came back when we had almost completely finished our meals. After we had finished all of our food, we waited 12 minutes before he came to clear the table and ask if we were ready to take the bill. I’m still giving four stars because I’ve heard from others that they’ve had great service. And the food was delicious!

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience and meal I had at Francesca’s with my best friend. Our bartender/server, Michael, was just incredible: personable, attentive, so much fun to chat with while we had dinner at the bar. The food was great, the drinks were exceptional, and the whole experience was joyful. So happy to have such a great local spot.

My husband and I had our wedding here on May 26, 2021 and we absolutely loved it! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and they gave us a lot of flexibility with how we could decorate the private party room. I highly recommend this restaurant for a small wedding of 40 people.

Amazing Catering Team!
My husband and I were forced to host our own wedding at home due to COVID-19. Francesca's catering team came through 100%!!
Shiri and her team, including bartender Angie worked all night to make our guests comfortable. The food was excellent and fresh. Prices were reasonable.
Thank you for everything you did to make our special day such a beautiful event.

Just went for our first time, definitely not our last! Cannot reccomend highly enough: the pizza verde, one of their staples, was flavorful, and the gnocchi with the goat cheese and artichokes tasted great! Every cocktail we tried was lovely. Service across the board was excellent and our server, Eliza, was very attentive and knowledgeable

Went there for my boyfriend's birthday. The food deserves 5 stars. Service on the other hand lacked a little and often felt neglected by our server. I understand we were a table of 2 versus a whole party, but we would have to wait +10 minutes every time to get our drinks refilled. For such a nice place, you'd expect better service and attention, even if it's only a table for two.

I had a group of friends to meet here. They initially seated us in the middle of the room but when I let them know that we were going to be loud they moved us to a corner booth. Our waitress checked with the kitchen to make sure they could accommodate my many food allergies. It was a great meal, great service, and I would definitely go again. They get gluten free people and take good care of them.

The food is quite good, however, we have had somewhat of slow service each time we’ve gone. Last night when we went, we were rushed out the door because they wanted our table… We were not even there an hour and felt frantically rushed out. Beyond that, the food is great!!
Erik Riggenbach
Loved this place. We're not wine people, but they patiently brought us samples and helped us make a selection we really liked.
The food was delicious. It's not the typical red sauce Italian and that's a good thing. Pastas we're great and the sauces for the meats we're wonderful.. Their changes, apparently, so we're very much looking forward to going back.
