About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

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.

The mussels in marinara sauce were large and delicious, the best we’ve had. I ordered the spinach ravioli and my husband had the rigatoni alla melanzane, both were delicious. Our waitress was attentive and our dinners arrived shortly after we finished the mussels. The entire staff was friendly and made you feel welcome.

Excellent variety of classic Italian dishes with a creative flair. Appreciated the gluten free pasta option. Everything was clearly made from scratch, including the fantastic Italian sausage.

Our server was taking shots with the table next to us and charged us for the more expensive bottle of wine when we didn’t specify which Pinot Grigio we wanted. Other than that, atmosphere was great

Wonderful dinner at Mia! Enjoyed the featured Lobster Ravioli.. generously filled and sprinkled with ricotta and fresh lobster. We also shared another of our server’s recommendations for dessert: the chocolate torte…. Paired with black cherries or currants. So delicious. Thank you!!
