Francesco's Ristorante & Pizzeria

Bad Restaurant Host by the name of Daryl 👎👎👎 I am sooo disappointed the way me and my family was treated, at to me personally my favorite restaurant hands down in Central Florida - Francesco should really take a 2nd look at how their clients are being treated, very sad‼️

Anything on this menu is ridiculously tasteful, has an amazing presentation and flavor, is made with love, and priced extremely fair! Leftovers for days and you can tell the Chef is the owner. Flawless! Hands down there is not a better tasting or better run Italian restaurant is the entire Central Florida area and possibly the State!

Great place, food is delicious!

Delicious treat for a business meeting I. Orlando. My guest suggested and I was not disappointed. 5 star Chef has won awards since the day he opened. Check out Francesca’s. Make a reservation or you’ll be waiting

My family let me choose anywhere to go for my birthday and this is my favorite place of all restaurants in all of Orlando. Amazing Italian food by a chef that actually works the restaurant, it's nothing short of amazing honestly. We had the fish special which was out of this world we also had chicken parm which was crazy good and our daughter got the Zuppa di Pesce, which this dish was unbelievable. Then we got three desserts, we got the lemon cream cake, again one of the best desserts I've ever had, we also had of course to get the tiramisu and then we finished with profiteroles this was the best dinner I could have asked for on my birthday!

We had another delightful meal at Francesco's. Fabulous wait staff, food is always on point. We ordered chicken parm, salmon bruschetta, sea Bass special and zuppa di pesce. Ceasar salad was delicious. To top it off dessert was profiterols, tiramisu and
Lemon cream cake. Needless to say we ate like kings. This place is a neighborhood gem.

Was looking for some good home cooked Italian food. Driving around Winter Park/Maitland and landed here. The pasta & gravy was flavorful and not watery, food was freshly seasoned with garlic & basil. Service & Atmosphere was great, definitely will return.

Wow, this place did not disappoint! I wish we didn't live 2 hours away. There's nothing like this near Tampa. I've been to some of the best Italian restaurants in the Northeast and this place is on par with them.

The chicken parm was amazing. You get a lot too. I couldn't finish it. Service was good and food came out within minutes. Priced reasonably as well. Can't wait to go back.

It has been a long time since I have given a five star review.

The staff were impeccable and service oriented. They were friends and laughed. They found a way to make it possible for our dinner even without a reservation. They truly worked hard at it.

Then the food. I haven’t had this good of Italian food since traveling in Italy. I will be coming back. Even as I write this my mouth is watering a little more.

You must make reservation but I will tell you it is so worth it. The atmosphere is very Italian, relaxed and romantic, and the service was five stars, Christian was attentive and very sweet. We ordered the seafood pasta, which was amazing, and we ordered the Barada appetizer, phenomenal, and the wine pairing with the dinner selection was spot on. We cannot wait to go back to try their pizza and lasagna because all of their food looks delicious and is very authentic Italian done the right way.
