    We were repeat visitors at the old Francesco from 2008 until it closed; our experience at the new Francesco was everything we expected: great ambiance, staff who were very knowledgeable about the menu, attention without intrusion and of course an excellent culinary experience! For appetizers we had the ceviche, which was easily the best we've had anywhere and the Tiradito Francesco was delicious. We highly recommend you visit this restaurant!

    We were fans of the old Francesco and this latest version doesn't disappoint . We received a friendly welcome and the staff were excellent and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. The food was excellent, the octopus was one of the best I have tried and the ceviche was delicious as expected. All in all, a great experience. The new Francesco is even better than the original and is a welcome addition to "The Mile"

    The only criticism is that the food that should have been served hot was not. The food is actually tasty and high quality.

    This was our 3rd visit to dine (have been for drinks at the bar several times). The service was excellent, our server and the food runners were very attentive and very pleasant. The portions are plentiful, so we shared, amongst 3 of us, the Scallop Tartare as an appetizer. I did not find it as good as previous times; this time it was a bit fishy/oily. It comes with avocado and toasted bread pieces, which have a sprinkling of olive oil, and herbs. Entrees: Canelones with Aji de Gallina, excellent and different from the regular Aji de Gallina which comes with rice. Also had the fish VSOP, slightly crispy fish rolls serve with a mustard cognac sauce and the sword fish. The sword comes with sautéed vegetables, I would recommend mash potatoes or another accompaniment. Desserts: The Suspiro Lima and the Brownie with Lucuma Mousse. The latter is an excellent combination of the chocolate and the lucuma. Drank a nice Susana Balbi Signature Blend.
