In Short
The charm of this place lies in its relaxed, understated decor. Attractive sepia-toned photos recall a pastoral Italy, while a rolled copper-mesh ceiling muffles much of the noise from the hardwood floors below. Starters on the classic Italian menu include favorites like fried calamari, bruschetta and risotto. Among entrees, roasted veal medallions are plated with colorful baby artichokes and wild mushrooms, while spinach-topped roasted salmon is finished in a light shallot cream sauce.

When you walk in most likely you will feel crowded and out of place. There is a bar in the front where you can order your drinks while you wait to be seated. When you are seated you are greeted by your waiter or waitress very warmly. They bring you bread and butter that is to die for. Then you order your meal. The meal comes in very healthy portions so usually you get stuffed while your eating there and then you can take the rest home with you. It is a little pricey but not outrageous. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Francesca's always has a good crowd, even on weekdays. The food is outstanding, great Italian dishes. LOVE the bartenders - friendly, attentive and makes awesome martini's! If you haven't been here before - try them out! You won't be disappointed!

Francesca's is a chain in Chicago that serves up good Italian fare. The portions are too big and should be shared family style. The service is average and the taste is good but again not authentic. The salads are delicious and so are the seafood dishes.
