“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The ambiance at Francesca’s Tavola is unmatched—classic, classy, and comfortable.

“I really like this place, unique tasty coffee and a very kind owner. I hope they do well! Some constructive criticism, they could use more staff, coffee took a very long time. I also wish it was more organized and childproofed. Don’t let this stop you, I’m sure they will work out the kinks. There’s nothing else like this place, super cool.“

“I love the place but friendly advice have a reservations“

“So today I had a friend in from out of town and we topped off our afternoon with a visit to Miski Bakery. I was dying to try the alfajores, and they did not disappoint! The very delicate morsels melted in our mouth, and the creamy luscious dollop of dulce de leche caramel was a perfect pairing. In addition we tried the Milhojas/Napoleons in two flavors the Lucuma pastry creme and also the dulce de leche. A thousand layers is correct, these were amazingly tall, crispy and filled with air, both were delicious but the Lucuma(a Peruvian fruit) pastry creme was the standout. It had such a delightful delicate flavor I had never tasted previously. After speaking with Carmen the owner I asked whether or not they ever carried Turrón de doñja Pepa. She just happened to have some freshly baked sitting on the tray behind the counter, but alas it was still awaiting its filling. This gives me a great reason to return and indulge in that special treat. It is prepared every other week. The service was warm and friendly. This is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood you shouldn't miss out on. I will be returning often.“

“One of the best burgers I have had in the area, perfectly cooked, soaking wet, and full of flavor. Good prices and great atmosphere if you sit outside, although the interior is very load and feels like a sports-bar, which I’m pretty sure is the intention.“

“I had the bowl with noodles, fresh veggies, and two proteins-Teriyaki Steak and Mad Spicy Steak-and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the combination of the sweet teriyaki and the bold, spicy steak made for an incredibly tasty dish.

The noodles were cooked just right, the vegetables added a nice fresh crunch, and everything came together into a flavorful, satisfying meal. The portions were generous, and the quality exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Teriyaki Madness if you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful meal with plenty of protein and great taste. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly and the whole interaction was a pleasure.“
