About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Francesca's at the Promenade opened its doors to guests in August of 2009, becoming the 19th restaurant to join the Francesca's Restaurant Group. This west-suburban outpost offers guests “simple rustic cooking, friendly service and fair prices,” which has been the winning recipe at all Francesca’s locations since 1992. Our menu features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. An eclectic wine list and one-of-a-kind martinis are the perfect accompaniment to an outstanding dining experience.

About the Francesca’s Restaurant Group: Founded in 1992 by Restaurateur Scott Harris, Francesca’s Restaurant Group has grown from a small, welcoming Italian restaurant on Chicago’s North Clark Street to a restaurant group of 5 concepts across 25 locations in 3 states. Based in Chicago, Francesca’s Restaurant Group currently owns and operates 18 Francesca’s Restaurants, 4 Davanti Enoteca's, Disotto, Fat Rosie’s and Hillgrove Tap.

This was our first time dining out after 15 months of the pandemic. The manager Jennifer made us feel safe and comfortable. She gave us a quiet secluded table for 4. They checked our temperature when arriving. All the staff wore their masks correctly. Our waiter, Abel was awesome! He made us feel welcomed and was so attentive. The food was delicious! Warm bread, delicious cocktails, great wine list! I highly recommend Francescas.

My family was out in Bolingbrook for my son's basketball tournament and it was our 22nd wedding anniversary. When I found out there was a Francesca's out there I made a reservation since my husband and I spent many dates at the one on Clark street many years ago. We had a fantastic dinner! The food was spot on consistent with their other restaurants. Abel was a great server and made us all feel special - everyone did. It felt so good to be out again!
