Some noted
When you order and expect service, but you get messy presentation and untasty food… When ordering bruschetta, be prepared to assemble it yourself.

Our waiter David gave excellent service and food arrived quickly. He made us feel like family. We are from out of town and love coming back here where I raised my family. Long live Francesca’s!! I had whitefish. Amazing

“We had such a great experience sitting at the bar at Francesca’s.”
We had such a great experience sitting at the bar at Francesca’s! The bartenders, Edgar and Diego, went above and beyond to make our visit special. They were super attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome the entire time. We really appreciated their great recommendations on drinks — everything they suggested was spot on and delicious! Their service definitely made our night, and we’ll be coming back.

“Francesca's is a lovely Italian restaurant option.”
Francesca's is a lovely Italian restaurant option. At the Barrington location they also have outdoor seating with bistro lighting. The menu has a variety of traditional Italian choices as well as seafood, chicken and steak options. Good wine and good dessert! I would say it is a great place for a date night or gathering with friends. Francesca's has a great drink menu as well. The service was great and we had a very nice dinner out. I recommend! 👌❤️💚🤍

“We went there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty easy to find seating.”
We went there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty easy to find seating. Our server was very kind and nice. We tried the following Roasted Beet Salad 7.5/10 Lentil Spinach 7.5/10 Ceasar Salad 5/10 Pasta 6/10 Tiramisu 8.5/10 We didn't know our Ceasar Salad had anchovies flavored water added to the dressing. Also it came with anchovies. When we said we didn't want it, our server immediately took it away without any questions and didn't charge for it. Will certainly visit again.

“This was a great experience.”
This was a great experience! The place has an upscale feel and great service ( Joana is excellent!). The food was overall delicious. They start with fresh made bread that was warm. My salad was outstanding. The burata was excellent. Chicken was very moist

“If you’re looking for a place to host your friends and family you’ve found it!”
If you’re looking for a place to host your friends and family you’ve found it!! We had a baby shower here over the weekend and I have never been more impressed with service in my life. Not only was food incredible but we got so many compliments from our guest about the service. Huge thank you to Joanna and Kelly who worked our event & made me and my family feel so incredibly special. I was nearly brought to tears at how kind & helpful Joanna is. Thank you all for everything.
