    I went to Franchescos and wanted to use my open table rewards. For some reason they wouldn’t take it. Nice restaurant. The owner came by to say hi and see how things were going. Food was good. The guy at the hostess table was great. Im giving it a low rating b/c it’s on open table and like most folk look forward to using the rewards.

    We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on Tuesday and had one of the best dinners we’ve ever had at Franchesco’s! The steak Benny and shrimp Charlie were to die for! They gave us excellent service and a nice anniversary Sunday at the end. Highly recommend!

    Our second time dining there. One of the best filets I've ever had and a very nice house salad. Ambience is great with live piano and bass players.

    Franchesco‘s is one of our favorite places to dine in Rockford. Between Benny and his staff there’s no one kinder. The food is always fresh and delicious. Love Dining there, especially in the summer when we can enjoy outside.

    As always absolutely fabulous. Wait staff (Sami) was such a pleasure serving us. Beverages, salad, three meals, and dessert were all perfect. Benny, Kim, and staff know how to do it right.
