    As always, Francesca's Viccinnato was at the top of their game. The place was packed with people out for Christmas Eve dinner but the staff was up to the challenge. We were greeted at the door and our table for 6 people was waiting for us. From there it only got better as the service was excellent and the food outstanding as always. Merry Christmas to everyone at Francesca's. You all made our Christmas eve dinner a very enjoyable memory. Thank You

    We came a great time on Christmas Eve..2:30. It wasn't crowded. Service was fair. Good thing we were seated by the water pitchers, because our server never checked on refills! I had a sugar cookie martini..watered down. Nonna's meatballs were fantastic @ I had the cod. It was tasty but greasy. My husband said his salmon was OK. We both had spooning for dessert...a bit pricey at $8 each!? There was nothing outstanding to make an effort to go back here. Just mediocre.
