                                    I enjoyed the Lemon chicken with spinach and capers. Also the holiday drink menu was fun and delicious! Others, at my table enjoyed their pasta dishes and fun cocktails. Was a bit loud and hard to talk but enjoyed the evening. Food is always good here!

                                    I had the worst food experience last night at Francesca’s. They served me over cooked mush except the Salmon that was barely 4oz. I have eaten here several times and I used to enjoy it and recommend it but not anymore and I will not spend another penny in that place. The manager came over and when I stated the topping and asparagus was mushy and limp and overcooked she said she would check with the kitchen and she never returned. I am not sure what she was checking with the kitchen for. Too much money for poor quality food. Service was fair considering the server recommended this particular dish.

                                    This was our first visit to Francesca Fortunato, although our family is very familiar with the Mia Francesca brand. Before relocating to the East Coast, we lived in Chicago's West Loop, walking distance to the Mia Francesca West Loop location. We were frequent diners and hosted several events in the private dining space: wedding anniversary, college graduation, law school graduation celebrations and ladies' luncheons. We recently hosted our dad's memorial luncheon at Francesca's Vicinato in Tinley Park. Francesca's Fortunato lived up to Mia Francesca's exquisite brand. The restaurant is located in a lovely section of Frankfort, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The staff was attentive, friendly, and the food was delicious. We had a lovely holiday dinner and are grateful that we "tried something new" for the holidays. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

                                    Our experience was ruined by the deafening noise in the room where we were seated. There were five of us, you could only talk to the person next to you , and you had to lean into their ear to be heard. What a waste of almost $500.

                                    Was a very nice lunch they were accommodating to our requests. The Halibut was the special and it was to my liking. The Martini I ordered was perfect just like I remember. I really enjoyed the time we spent there we need to go back soon.

                                    Service was right on point. Space is open so it can be a bit loud. We all loved our food. Everything we had was excellent.

                                    Always a good dining experience at Francesca's -- the fish and pasta are excellent.
