Chicken Parm was great, and my wife really enjoyed the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken.

My go to orders are Penne Vodka with Grilled chicken and shrimp and a Grilled Chicken sandwich with Mozzarella and peppers. Both meals can be reheated and still taste amazing. I cannot stress enough how delicious the food is there. Amazing!

I’ve been ordering from here for years and they never disappoint. The food is always so delicious that I usually try to drink the remaining sauce alone when the food is done. I would give 10 stars if it was possible.

The food was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back. The Shrimp Arrabbiata appetizer was out of this world. Probably one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had.

The food was delicious. I got grilled salmon & was super nervous because salmon can taste fishy…not here delicious. My husband lives chicken parm & he said it was the best he had in a long time. Prices seem very reasonable & staff was great too. I highly recommend trying it.

Kind of a strange layout for a restaurant on the pricier end. Definitely did not expect to walk into what looked like a carryout. There was a dining room, but the carryout is what you see first. We were seated right away without a reservation (party of 5), which was great. There was no wine list or beer list, but we were able to order those things. And when my colleague received her Pinot Grigio, ice cubes had been added. I know white wine is typically served chilled, but none of us had ever been served wine with ice at a restaurant before. Our appetizers were good (bacon wrapped scallops and the mozzarella fresca), and I enjoyed my meal (stuffed shrimp) but I’m not sure everyone at the table felt the same. Our server was very attentive, as we were one of only 3 tables present. I’m not sure this would be my first choice when picking an Italian restaurant in the future, but if invited to come here by someone else, I wouldn’t say no.

I’ve come to dinner here several times, and every time, it has been a 5 star experience. The service and atmosphere is top notch and I always look forward to coming here for a nice sit down dinner. A bar always makes a dinner nice, being you don’t have to limit yourself to bringing in a bottle of wine. Started the meal off with a gin and tonic which was quickly served and was accompanied by a basket of bread fresh out of the oven along with some olive oil or butter. Nothing beats the warm Arrabiatta bread dipped in olive oil. Ordered the Shrimp Arrabiatta (garlic, lemon, white wine sauce, red pepper flakes) as an appetizer that was phenomenal. Should have taken a picture before it was devoured. With the sauce that was left over, also made a great dip for the bread. Highly recommend. For dinner, ordered the Chicken Milanese (breaded cutlet, arugula, and fresh mozzarella) and the Veal Sorrentino (Veal, prosciutto, eggplant and mozzarella.) Both meals were delicious and were fresh and tasty. Desert being served around us looked super tasty, but after filling up on bread, shrimp, and Main course, we were stuffed. Definitely a great place to visit if you looking for a great meal. The only downfall is being a bit older and not bringing my reading glasses everywhere I go, the menu is a struggle to read. Found myself, along with other patrons using the good old cell phone light to figure out the menu. Had I brought my glasses, it would not be an issue and this is more on me. Just a reminder if you go, be sure to bring your readers to help with the menu. Will definitely be heading back in the future.

Francesco’s is a favorite for us and we go every few months. The food is absolutely delicious, every dish we have ever had has been five star. The next morning my friends and I are texting about how excited we are for our lunch leftovers. I dream about the shrimp risotto.

Food is excellent! Short ribs and Saltimboca are a must. Nice wine list and cocktails. Mid rating for the service because we went on a Saturday night and there was only 1 waiter. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Will definitely be returning. Also I recommend wearing short sleeves as it was very hot in the dining area.
