   Service was very slow. Food was average compared to other neighborhood restaurants. Not what this restaurant used to be.

   Had a lovely dinner with friends. The menu is full of winners, food was delicious. Our waiter Jack was attentive and fun. Manager/sommelier Kent checked in several times, very engaging. We felt welcome and cared-for.

   Most of our meals were very good and service was excellent. Unfortunately, one of our pasta dishes was served cold twice, and the house salad was lacking a lot.

   Mia Francesca is the classic, small setting for fine dining — cozy but not cluttered, comfortable and quiet in the early evening, becoming livelier in a “friendly” way as the evening progresses. The wait staff moves quickly but unhurriedly, always appearing at precisely the moment they are needed. Service is attentive but unobtrusive, and it is a well-coordinated team effort. Our young waiter was knowlegeable and personal. The red wine my wife and I ordered by the glass was excellent and reasonably priced for generous pours. Our friend’s Old Fashioned was perfect. The drink menu is extensive but not overwhelming in either scope or pricing. The food menu offers variety but doesn’t overwhelm, either. We had an asparagus salad that was the perfectly fresh and light starter. On the other hand, the bruschetta was a large, beautifully prepared tray of four servings that could have been a light meal in itself. It was a perfect blend of flavors and textures! Finally, we had a house prepared Rolli allá Francesca that was rich without being heavy. And it was almost to lovely to eat. My wife and I shared those three courses and had more than enough. Our friends had the same salad, the beef carpaccio — a huge plate of vegetables over thin slices of beef, a large bowl of perfectly fried calamari with a rich red sauce for dipping, and two immense meatballs, all of which they loved and fully consumed. All agreed that it was one of the best meals we’d eaten out in a long time — and we eat out often and well. Don’t miss this gem of a restaurant!

   I loved it! Cozy and delicious. Our favorites were the burrata appetizer, the Italian salad and the rigatoni vodka!

    Still a pretty good option, but not what it used to be!
