I am from San Francisco and was in the area for business. I asked a local friend about a good Italian restaurant and she suggested Francoli. I had a reservation. When I arrived the restaurant was busy and the hosted sat me at the bar. I was a bit disappointed. However, the bartender was kind and attentive. A couple sat next to me and we hit it off and had a wonderful conversation. The food was good along with the service. When in the area I will go back.

Bucatini Matriciana was so-so. Sauce was sweet. Must have added sugar. Waiter was great, staff attentive. Burrata plate with prosciutto was fresh and good, plentiful. We love this restaurant and do return. I just wasn't thrilled with the matriciana dish.

Whenever we are in the mood to feel like we are dining in a small Italian restaurant, rather than hop on a plane, we head to Francoli's Gourmet. It's the next best thing to being there! Last night was no exception. Authentic Italian entrees, a large selection of Italian (and other) wines and classic Italian drinks and desserts! The service is professional and not rushed. The food is exceptionally good and authentic Italian cuisine. We send all of our friends here!

The vongole was great. I do wish the pasta was more al dente. The pappardelle ossobuco special wasn’t as we expected - the sauce tasted like regular spaghetti ragu sauce. We were expecting something more brown & braised.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants. I had the Branzini and it was excellent as usual. Fresh and tasty. The rest of the group had Salmon, and pasta and veal. It was a nice relaxed and enjoyable experience for all.

Great service. Always enjoy the food and great choice of different wines. Love sitting outside on small patio watching people walking in Old Town Orange.

The food was very disappointing. The calamari was fishy and we did not finish it. The lamb in the lamb ragu was tough and gamy. The lasagna was a disappointment. The quality of the food has declined and is definitely not what it use to be. The best part of the meal was the simple salad. I doubt that we will visit again.
