Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

Decision was mine to have dinner for 4 at Café Touché. It was a Tuesday evening so it wasn't real crowed and the noise level was very good for conversing. Food was very good and the service was excellent. This was our second time there and we will be back again. Our first time was a Friday night and to be honest it was very crowded and loud. I definitely preferred the Tuesday evening . Also on Tuesdays there is no corkage fee.

Appetizers and steaks were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear, so tender they practically melted in our mouths - a true highlight of the meal! Esteban was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. He took the time to explain options clearly and offer thoughtful recommendations. Will be back!

Dined on 3 Jan 2025
We shared 3 appetizers, 1 dumpling, the pork belly ( main course), and dessert. The portions are large enough that we were full. Ask your server about the food, as Ukrainian combinations and ingredients seem strange, but work beautifully. Rather than have a cocktail, I had an infusion- a shot of vodka or brandy with a fruit or herbal infusion. I still could not bring myself to do the horseradish one!
