    2nd time we've ordered the same foods there and this time was great also. They have one of the 2 best Shrimp Arabbiata Apps we've ever tasted. The Caesar Salad is perfect and big enough to split. My friend's Bronzino was prepared differently than most places but she loved it. My Veal Chop was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. Service was friendly and effciient. Even the bread is great with a delicious dip. A nice dining experience once again

    Went for lunch on a warm spring day. Decided to sit on the patio. Service was great with warm fresh bread and dipping oil brought out to the table. Both our dishes were pasta based with flavorful sauce and fresh cheeses. Would go back to try dinner next time

    Enjoyed last night after a long layoff. Good Sangria. Nice Caesar. Still Shrimp Arabiatta among the best. My friend liked her Branzino. My Veal Chop was cooked well, they were flexible on the potato switch and the waiter was nice enough to bring some delicious mushrooms. Macchioto reasonable priced (unlike others getting crazy) and good. We got talked into Tartufo and liked that too. Pleasant all-around meal and service. Owner/Manager checks in to make sure you're satisfied.

    It was our first time at the restaurant. The food was very good but the ambience the place needs a lot of love and tender care very outdated. the entrance very uncomfortable and tight when you’re waiting they keep bringing food right between people. If you’re just going for the food, it’s wonderful because the food was good but not a romantic place or a place to get all dressed up to go out on the weekend. It needs a little love. 
    Francesco'sResponded on 17 February 2025
    Thank you for the review. We have finally got approval to build our bar and redo the entire restaurant. This will all be completed by wand of summer. Due it being Valentine’s Day it was very crowded with both floors being occupied this is not the norm and I due apologize. I am glad to here that you enjoyed the food and hopefully will see you soon best wishes Francesco’s
