Food is great and so is the service. I love their menu. There are so many good items on the menu and I am going to go back and try them all. Our experience was not that great though. It had to do with the place that we were seated. As you walk in, there is a bar and high tables, then there is a hallway to the back two dining rooms. The hallway has been converted to be seating area too. They put us there. This is a horrible place to sit and so if you go there, ask not to be seated there. This is the hallway between the kitchen and the front, and the two dining areas. So, we had constant traffic back and forth between the front and the kitchen, front and the bathroom, dining rooms and bathroom, and front and dining rooms. I can tell you all the takeouts that were carried to the front for pick up. And every time the wait staff was running back and forth, it was a disruption to the quiet and romantic dinner that we were trying to have. If I wanted to sit in a train station, I would have gone there to eat. I do recommend the place for food, wine and service. Just to make your experience best, make sure they seat you in one of the dining rooms and not the hallway tables. In fact request that in your reservation.
We had a great night at this location. The food was tasty and the service was great! But the best part was the Valentine’s special dessert, chocolate tart with passion fruit!
We’ve been frequenting Francesca’s Amici for 5 years now and it just keeps getting better. The staff, food, menu options, and ambience are tremendous. They’ve made a few upgrades to bar that have really brightened the space us as well. We always bring friends and family from out of town here and no one has been disappointed. We really enjoy that they change the menu up every few months too!
Had a great dinner at Fracesca's. Service is always well paced with excellent recommendations. Happy Hour drink specials until 6pm. I had the Spinach Ravioli which was a special tonight. The wine was delicious also. Go for a great Italian dining experience.
Wonderful dinner. Had an amazing chicken pasta dish and Caesar Salad. Great service with live musical trio
