    We were a party of four. The Caymus 50th year 1 Liter was on special so we ordered that and a bunch of appetizers. Everything was delicious. Also ordered Caesar salads, which were also good.

    Always can count on Francesco’s! Lobster ravioli and chicken Parmesan entrees, coconut shrimp appetizer and a cannoli for dessert. Great family owned venue. Benny always stops to say hello. Best restaurant for a nite out in Rockford.
