A word from Francesca's al Lago
The Francesca’s family of restaurants brings simple, rustic Italian cuisine and a causal trattoria dining experience to Madison, Wisconsin. The original location, Mia Francesca in Chicago, which was once just a dream for owner and chef, Scott Harris, has now grown to include twenty locations across Chicagoland with Madison’s Francesca’s al Lago as the first out of state venture for the group. Steps away from the Madison Capital building on the Capital Square, the Madison community can now experience the energetic, community-centered atmosphere and delicious, rustic Italian dishes of Francesca’s al Lago.Continued
