Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

The menu varied from what was posted online, but the choices were similar. The Goat Cheese tart appetizer was outstanding. We had the short ribs and the chef's special (whitefish). Both were excellent, as was the dessert (the Napoleon) we shared. Portions were just right. Service was excellent. I wish I could remember our server's name and compliment her directly. we will definitely return.

We love the chicken Marsala. The sauce is delicious. The good is always well prepared, while the atmosphere is perfect-not overly noisy, but cheerful and pleasant. Our server, Ricardo, was both engaging and professional, which contributed to a superb dining experience.
