Had Mother’s Day dinner a bit early as most of the mothers will be out of town on the actual day. The food was top notch – it seems to be all scratch made. My dinner partner wanted the Seafood Americano but without the shrimp – so the Chef made a special order just for her – now that is service. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca which was fantastic. I spanned the pictures after we had started but you get the idea. The salads are served family style and they are plentiful. The house dressing is really outstanding as well. Limited wine menu but it all worked well and our server was spot on – not a note pad in sight and never made a mistake. Hidden gem – we will be back. Get a reservation and go enjoy some scratch made cooking right on RT51!

Great place even tho they recommend reservation due to home made ingredients we were still given a table. Must try their alfredo sauce.

If you are looking for food that is real and made with a passion and love, eat here! This was our first of many visits! Almost everything we ordered was made from scratch and delicious. Service was good too!

CALL FIRST! We did not have a reservation and they kindly served us…. but it seemed as though they typically only accept diners that have called ahead. Food was excellent! We tried the shrimp scampi, manicotti, and DeFazio chicken. I’d recommend any of them. We will be going back.

I was really pleasantly surprised. Taken here by a friend for lunch. Feels old-school Italian inside. Old-school decor, Sinatra, Martin and others providing the music. However, the salad was freshly prepared and delicious. Lots of items in it, tasty dressing. Freshly baked bread. The pasta was out of this world as was the home-made cheesecake. Best of all, the server was super nice and attentive. I’ll be back.

Our first time at Francescos. My friends love it and told us how good it was for us to try it. We finally did and it is such a cute place. Friendly workers and the food is all homemade and delicious! We will definitely be going back. It is so nice to go to a family owned restaurant where they are so welcoming and serve quality food. The crab appetizer was amazing! He loved his pasta and homemade meatballs. I had the homemade manicotti and it was superb.

Excellent Italian cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. The reason you are asked to make a reservation I was told is because the owner makes the pasta fresh every day and needs to know how many guests to expect. A little quirky I know but most definitely worth it. Incidentally I have never seen anyone turned away who didn’t have a reservation. Highly recommend.

The biggest problem is getting into the restaurant’s parking lot. You have to be doing on 51South. It’s very small and we didn’t know that they prefer reservations. I wasn’t blown away by the appetizers or their sauce, but my salmon was very, very tasty and cooked correctly. The salad comes family style and there was plenty of it. The bread was good, warm. The red sauce tasted like it had a lot of wine in it and was very cooked down. Our waitress was friendly and those at the other tables seemed to all be comfortable, familiar and enjoying themselves.

We ate there and the food was excellent! Salad was one of the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant, light and refreshing and the dressing was perfect. Ravioli were excellent and three other people at my table said their chicken dishes were excellent. Making reservations for next Friday and plan to go there regularly.
