    Good food and ambiance was good. Service was a bit out of sync with communication and was a bit awkward.

    Excellent experience. The service was amazing at every point of the dinner, from bartender to busperson and of course special mention to Luisandry, great service. The grilled octopus is an appetizer you can not miss. I was not impressed with the "Tiradito Francesco". However, the octopus made it. Amazingly surprised with the shrimp lasagna, love the flavor. The canelones with "Aji de Gallina" were OK. For dessert that "brownie de lucuma" was perfect. And the drinks, that lychee martine and passion fruit margarita A+. Atmosphere was also very nice. Definitely a place to go back for a nice date or any ocassion.

    Manuel, we appreciate you taking the time to visit Francesco and share your thoughts. It means a lot to us to know our team helped create a welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back to Francesco for more moments to enjoy Peruvian food and good company.

    Came upon Francesco on a whim and it truly did not disappoint. To re-discover Francesco and the excellent food and service was well worth it. Highly recommend the ceviche clásico starter and the arroz con mariscos.
