Her and her late husband had extensive travel experience in cruises and hotels around the world, as she is a certified international travel agent. So as you can see, it was of great importance for my wife and I to treat her to that level class of ambience and service.
We were all pleasantly surprised as it was our first time there. our reservation was on time and our waiter, Michael, was a prince. He made sure our every concern was met.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA great place to visit.Food was good, however, tomato sauce was a little tart for my liking.

The waiter was very personable and knew the menu inside and out. Nice suprise that appetizers were 1/2 price!!!! Will definitely be going back.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat fresh vegtables as saladsWe were in and out in less than an hour on a Friday night which suited us fine. The service was excellent because of various bus people clearing plates, filling drinks etc. so I think this is a good staffing model. I had the pike which was wonderful and the shrimp diablo looked divine, plus I love the salads which are fresh vegetables instead of just lettuce which gets old. We will be adding this to our dinner circuit4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service of our waiter,The service of our waiter, Peter, was outstanding.

The restaurant always does a great job, and it may have been an off day.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food and consistent quality.In spite of two large groups at the same time as our reservation, the staff seated us promptly, took our orders, brought our food and gave us excellent service. The food was just as good as it has always been on previous visits. I was impressed that they handled a very full house without diminished care or quality. The noise level was pretty intense, but that has not been a problem the many other times we have been there.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMFrancesca's Tavola in ArlingtonFrancesca's Tavola in Arlington Hts is a wonderful Italian restaurant for any and all occasions. Our table for four was ready when we arrived at the scheduled reservation time and we were promptly seated. We had requested a booth in advance, and they were able to accommodate us even though the restaurant was near capacity. The service friendly and efficient. Our waiter stayed on top of things, and the bus service prompt without being intrusive. Our four entrees were a roasted walleye (highly recommend it), stuffed chicken breast, pork chops, and risotto. All entrees were superbly done, and presented well. Francesca's is a staple in our rotation of restuarants, and this past Saturday evening proved why.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSalmon with scallops dishSalmon with scallops dish was outstanding ... as was the lasagna.
