Francesca's has the best Italian food in Newark. The people there are friendly, and pleasant to talk to. Food is always delicious and the portions big. They go that extra mile for you each and every time. Highly recommend!

I have ordered from here for many years. Food was always delicious - not lately. We ordered the wings and they came tasting like oil that has never been changed. All the owner refunded was the 2.00 delivery fee and nothing else. Decided to order the wings again and asked to make sure they were not like last time. The owner got on the phone and began yelling at me. Stated that I called about these wings before (I did not, it was a lunch mate that called about the wings). Told me he would not place my order and I should order somewhere else if I was going to complain about the food. Then proceeded to hang up on me. I call back and he immediately started yelling at me again, I apologized and stated I was not the one who place the original wings order and he said "don't have other people calling to complain for you"!!! He stated i was on speaker phone with three customers listening and that I was interrupting his lunch. If I was those customers I would have walked out with the way he was acting. He would not even listen to me at all. Their prices are ridiculous - you have to pay for everything extra, grated cheese, salad dressing. I asked for onions on my sandwich and was charged 1.00. Avoid this place! NEVER AGAIN!

I've ordered from here before and it's been good, but it wasn't tonight. It was a wet soggy mess. Disappointing since their pizza is expensive.

Definitely not the francesa’s pizza I remember from years ago. This place had closed down and reopened. Before it closed down , it was hands down the best pizza in Newark. Now it doesn’t have the same flavorful taste. Definitely was disappointed. The pizza isn’t bad , but it’s not that great francesa’s pizza from back in the days .

Went with my wife for a little lunch. Orders the Zuppa Di Pesce which is Calamari, Clams, Fish, Mussels and Shrimp, with a plate of Linguini. The whole dish was rubbery except for the Mussels and some of the Clams. But, I love the environment and feel off the restaurant.

Great ambiance good service allowed to bring own liquor the seafood was mostly over done salad was predominantly lettuce but good. Overall dont think I'll be back.

Recently in May 2021, I and my family experienced the worst case of food service and customer care ever. Not only were the orders wrong, and food nothing like what’s stated in the menu, the management was ignorant and very unprofessional. I will never return or support this patronage, nor would I recommend to anyone I care about. A far far far ways from the pre-pandemic quality of food service and hospitality. No thanks

We ordered lunch today. I ordered the provolone and sopressata with long hots. Best damn sandwich I have ordered in a long time. But Francesca's never disappoints. All of our sandwiches were awesome. Jeanette C.

A S*** place! The owner was caught shouting at physically challenged boy! They'll cheat you with extra undisclosed charges! AVOID at all costs!!

We ordered a platter of the baked zitti, Chicken a la Francese and cesar salad for our office staff. AMAZING. You can taste the love that went into not only cooking the food but delivering it. Thank you !!

Best Pizza Down Neck ! Local gem with probably still the best shrimp oregano and chicken marsala sauce you'll have any where in NJ.
