Francesca's on Chestnut Reviews
Absolutely the most delicious pasta I have ever had in my life! The scampi is like no other and the toffee carrot cake was so good I almost cried. The service was incredible. You feel so welcome. Like instant family.
My wife, daughter, and I recently had dinner at Francesca’s. We had a wonderful meal! We have visited many Italian restaurants around the US and our meals at Francesca’s were among the best we have ever had! Flavors were great, portions were appropriate and the service was exceptional. We have already recommended this restaurant to several of our friends.
Ronni was so great at serving our large party. It was a great meal and great service.

Francesca's on Chestnut is a standout restaurant in Chicago, offering excellent food and consistently superlative service. The menu features dishes like the Francesca salad, seafood linguine packed with prawns, clams, and scallops in a rich tomato sauce, and fresh pastas that are a highlight. Guests can also enjoy Rigatoni with Sausage and Lasagna, though some have noted the Lasagna was only warm and overly salty.
The restaurant celebrates special occasions with complimentary treats, such as champagne and dessert. The bar at Francesca's on Chestnut is small but intimate, and while the noise level can be high, the service is outstanding. Customers have praised the highly professional and welcoming guest service, along with the wonderful urban atmosphere that creates a true fine dining experience in the best Chicago downtown area. The sautéed calamari is a standout happy hour option, and the Caesar salad with anchovies remains a customer favorite. Overall, diners appreciate the good pace of service and helpful suggestions, making for a pleasant dining experience.
