Diner there early during a very bush Frankfort Fest. Food was good and since no one was there yet the service was great. Great job! We will be back next year!

Enjoyed our dining experience at Francesca’s as it had been roughly 7 years since we last visited (2017). Ambience and service was excellent! Drinks from the bar were excellent! It was a nice birthday celebration dinner for my youngest son. Loved the view of outside patio from the window seating. Beautiful with the blooming flowers and foliage.

We consider Francesca’s a great place for regular Italian dining. Food is good, service is good, and they are always accommodating on varying dishes to customers desire. Last night was a little off from the usual. Pork chop was tough. Vodka Martini, up, Blue cheese olives - appears to be shaken, but 3 or 4 ice cubes floating in the drink. How do you screw that up? Speaking of drinks, prices for alcohol at Francesca’s are getting a little out of hand. I can dine cheaper in the city than here. Don’t know if this is the new reality under Scott Harris Hospitality. Concerned, as we like Francesca’s. However, there are plenty of other good places to try.

A very enjoyable evening! Mario, our waiter, was excellent and certainly contributed to the ambiance of the evening. Food was excellent! The half price wine price added to the delightful evening. It was a pleasure taking our guests there.

Restaurant Review: Fanchesca in Frankfort I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fanchesca in Frankfort, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Atmosphere: The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a charming decor that made us feel right at home. The lighting was perfect for a cozy dinner, and the overall vibe was both elegant and relaxed. Service: The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. The staff ensured that our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Food: The food was truly exceptional. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the filet mignon, cooked to perfection, while my companion enjoyed the seafood pasta, which was rich and delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The portions were generous, yet each bite was packed with flavor. Dessert: To top off our meal, we indulged in the tiramisu, which was creamy and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of coffee flavor. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall Experience: Everything was simply wonderful. From the exquisite food to the top-notch service, Fanchesca in Frankfort exceeded our expectations in every way. It's a great spot for a date night or a special occasion, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

There are numerous menu items to choose from so dining here often is not a problem. Specials are also available late in week and on weekends. Both managers are always on top of their game so everything runs quite well. We have tried most all of the items on the menu and they all tend to be very good to excellent. Chef does a nice job with varying sauces for pasta and meat dishes so it is always a nice treat to go with what our favorite server recommends. Wine choices are many and most appear reasonably priced, or as close to reasonable as possible. Good restaurants have to have good managers that can adapt to changes and requests from diners and this location is among the best of the Scott Harris chain in Illinois.
