    "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The calamari is the best I have ever had. Our meals of Shrimp Fettucine and Bucatini were fresh and seasoned perfectly. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable

    I made a reservation for 2 over a month in advance and we were seated at a tiny table that was barely usable in the far corner of the restaurant. Our waiter would not show up for 30 minutes at a time. We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and they arrived raw and cold in the middle. The entrees and dessert were good, but that does not come close to redeeming the experience we had.

    Been dining there for over 15 years and haven't had a bad meal yet. We like a few select dishes there and when they are not on the menu for the day we've still been able to order them with any problems. They also did a good job accommodating us with our seating request.

    We had a wonderful experience at Francesca's Friday. We arrived early for our reservation so that we could take advantage of the Happy Hour specials. We were seated immediately and our request to sit at one of Daniel's tables was accommodated. Although we only go to Francesca's maybe once a quarter, Daniel always remembers us and makes us feel special. He also makes sure that our orders are placed before the Happy Hour ends. My wife loves the PEI Mussels (Cozze Marinara) and I enjoyed the Bruschette alla Romana as my meal. We've always loved the food and the service at Francesca's (bread before dinner is also outstanding) and our experience on Friday still managed to exceed expectations.
