   This was our first time at this location. The food was pretty good but the service was not great. They seemed to ignore us. My husband had to go up to the bar to pay the bill because no one was coming by our table and we couldn’t flag anyone down. And when I went to the host stand to get our coats from the coat check no one was there and the server who came to take out coat ticket was a little nasty. We probably won’t be going back.

   This was our first time at this location and I thought food and service was excellent. Our waiter was great and everything we ordered was very good. Some of us had pasta and others chicken dishes and they all were very tasty. We will definitely be back.

   Our second visit to the restaurant in the last two months. Tried different appetizer and entree this time. Just as delicious as what we had on our first visit. Quality and taste of the food is excellent!

   Everything was amazing however it was a birthday celebration and although we ordered a dessert a candle or acknowledgment would of been nice. Not recommended for a birthday but will definitely return for dinner. 1st visit at this location, overhead parking was a plus since it was snowing.

   So pleased to be reminded of all the good times our friends and family had at Francesca's on Bryn Mawr -- this new Francesca's in Lincolnwood has many of our favorite dishes from Bryn Mawr, together with really outstanding service. Very good Italian food, with enough non-pasta options to please everyone. Special favorites are their lentils and spinach appetizer and their profiteroles for dessert. Caution: It's cold in the diningroom, so wear a sweat or jacket, and parking is tricky, and leave extra time. Enjoy.

   Service was perfect and vibe is fun. Seats are comfortable and menu has good variety. Caesar said was excellent. Here’s where there’s room for improvement. The noise level, considering the population at the restaurant, is ridiculously loud. Cod had too much sauce and salt, pasta dish was uninteresting.

    Had a FABULOUS birthday dinner at Mia Francesca. Shared the asparagus salad, which was very fresh and delicious. Had the rigatoni alla vodka and rolli alla Francesca (in-house made pasta!) entrees. Both were exceptionally well-prepared. (Honestly, the rolli was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in years.) Portion sizes were more than generous. Split the profiteroles for dessert, and they were the perfect end to dinner. Wine list was good. Our waiter, Rene, was on top of things the entire dinner. Atmosphere was wonderful. Will definitely return and bring our family/friends!
