Let me share that I do NOT take my birthday lightly. My husband chose Francesca’s in Elmhurst for my birthday date night and I am nothing short of impressed. The hand cut pasta, the fresh produce and seafood, and the pure joy Fernando, Gina, and Giana exude made my evening extraordinary.

100 out of 10. Highly recommended!

Overall very kind waitress and support staff as well. Manager was walking around making sure everything was going well. It was Valentine's Day so it was pretty busy and the only reservation available was a 9:30, even though the restaurant closes at 10. We didn't get any bread on our table, and had to ask for it. Same with dessert menu. I think everyone was really tired as it was the end of the day, but I don't think they should have offered such a late reservation...

Service was great. We ordered a pasta dish and a steak dish. Pasta was great, steak was medium (vs medium rare requested) and fatty and very salty. Would try some different next time.
