    We had a wonderful experience at Francesca's Friday. We arrived early for our reservation so that we could take advantage of the Happy Hour specials. We were seated immediately and our request to sit at one of Daniel's tables was accommodated. Although we only go to Francesca's maybe once a quarter, Daniel always remembers us and makes us feel special. He also makes sure that our orders are placed before the Happy Hour ends. My wife loves the PEI Mussels (Cozze Marinara) and I enjoyed the Bruschette alla Romana as my meal. We've always loved the food and the service at Francesca's (bread before dinner is also outstanding) and our experience on Friday still managed to exceed expectations.

    We enjoyed one of the great dining experiences ever! Francesca’s is willing to prepare dishes not listed in the menu! My guest enjoyed a chicken dish and I ordered a delicious pasta dish on the menu. We enjoyed the Francesca’s salad as always. Then we finished with a special cannoli dessert that was the best!!! The service (all servers) was great as well! It was a perfect evening!
