Really great Italian Food... far far ahead of the Maggianos and Giardanos of Chicago! We started with the crusty fresh bread that they serve complimentary with Olive Oil and grated cheese! It was fresh out of the oven! Next the Bruschetta which was also good! Next the mussels in a spicy tomato broth... which was a wow and followed up with Linguine and Shrimp pasta! Finally a super delicious Tiramisu! What more can I say... the food was just great and the service fast and efficient!...

We celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary and were able to get a nice table by the front window. The food was very good and Margo, our waitress, was excellent and very attentive. My husband remembered a favorite Francesca dish he'd had in the past at our Bolingbrook Promenade location which is now closed to our dismay. We loved that location and ambience. Margo had the kitchen put together a near identical dish and he loved it! Thank you, Margo! As for the ambience and noise...

Best Italian restaurant I've ever been! We were celebrating my sister's bachelorette and this was our first time coming here. I was able to move my reservation time last minute, food was amazing and the service was excellent! Our waitress was so sweet and went beyond to make our experience a great one! Highly recommend!
