My wife's favorite Italian restaurant. She gets the steak and linguine Alfredo and I alway get the lasagna. Huge portion I can't finish but it makes a nice dayafter lunch! BYOB helps keep the bill down but it is a higher priced Italian restaurant than most. We travel almost an hour each way but it's worth the drive.

Found this while driving by and it looked like a nice place. Went for dinner with my wife and we really enjoyed it. Sat outside, you will get some road noise from the occasional car but it's not busy in the evening. Nice view of the Delaware while we ate. Food was excellent and the servers were attentive and pleasant. Will go again.

Lovely, one of a kind experience, definitely biased since it’s so close to home!
The setting is on the Delaware River, intimate and charming dining and delicious food. The menu has delicious, simple as well as sophisticated, lots of great salad appetizer course to select from, and entrees are delectable as well. The menu offers a great choice of favorite items to select from which range of fish dishes, pastas, seafood, poultry and beef. Also there’s is always a chef’s specials menu and there are seasonal and special catch options for appetizers and entrees.
Last night we had Caesar Salad, and a Sudhi grade grilled tuna with steamed Bok Choi with hoisin-type sauce, and a Scallops fettuccini in cream brandy sauce. We loved it! We also had to have dessert because we were enjoying our meal so much-we split a Lemon Nonna!
We hadn’t been for a while so agreed we need to come more often, and enjoy weeknight dinners too….year round!! The food, staff and ambiance is top notch but priced as a terrific value!
Thank you so much to Francisco’s!!

Went for dinner the day before Mother’s Day was extremely crowded was rushed out of there. The food is not the same quality as it used to be years ago. There was no seasoning on the seafood pasta that we had ordered. They needed a table because they were very busy at 6:30. They came and told us we had to leave. We tried to order dessert so we had to take the dessert to go. Why our waiter I believe his name was Tom was not efficient. He should’ve came to our table at 6 PM and asked us if we needed any dessert. We barely got any good service at all. Sorry to say I will not return this used to be one of my favorite restaurants.

Small place but great food. I haven't been to a place in a long time where the food tasted fresh and was actually hot. To the point I needed to wait to have it cool. Fair pricing for a BYOB.

Very charming place. Wanted to go there for years. So happy we finally made it. Quaint, cozy, beautiful. Great service. Pricey, but not over the top. Food was delicious.

Had reservations with a friend on Tuesday at 6:30pm. Place was pretty empty so service was fast. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

There's an option for bread from the menu or complimentary bread. We opted for the complimentary and it was great.

For apps we got the mussels in white sauce. Really enjoyed the broth the muscles were sitting in. It had just the right amount of seasoning and full of flavor. Perfect for dipping the bread into. The mussels were fresh but there were maybe 3 in the bunch where the size was miniscule. We checked if the mussels fell into the broth but nope, just tiny I guess.

For entree I got the crab capellini. Absolutely delicious. The texture of the pasta was perfect and the vodka sauce was wonderful. The crab was fresh and there was a generous amount within the dish.

For dessert we shared the creme brulee. Loved the crunch of the sugar crust and the custard was perfect with lots of vanilla flavor.
