Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

    Our group of four went to the restaurant for the first time last night (friday night). It was a really great experience. The food and drinks were great and the service was even better. The menu is small plates and a bit pricey but we really enjoyed most everything we tried. We did not try any of the raw bar items (we dined with someone that could not eat raw fish, however I would like to go back and try it out. The only dish that missed the mark was the halibut (fish was dry and served over a dry "birds nest" which didn't help the situation - maybe some sauce wouldn've helped). Overall, great experience and we will be back.

    Fantastic as usual, even on a busy Father’s Day.. oysters were some of the biggest & best we’ve ever had! Shrimp/Calamari platter never disappoints. Grilled octopus tasted like I was back in Greece, so fresh & delicious.
