Our food came out cold. There were no specials. Menu was limited and service was terrible. We have been eating at this restaurant for years and years. Left feeling incredibly disappointed

My 2nd time here within a month. Both times the service was friendly, helpful and attentive; rare in my experience. Food was delicious and served piping hot. My return visit was inspired by my first - I liked it so much I came back with my wife who is a foodie. She is just as impressed as I am. Nice evening out. We'll be back.

We always enjoy eating at Francesca's! Food and service are always great. My one suggestion would be to bring back your Gluten-free bread (the one you had before you started using Gluten-free pizza crusts... which you don't have anymore either). That would make it the perfect meal.
