    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.

    Great experience in that restaurant. Came with my family to celebrate my birthday and staff is really friendly and customer service oriented. Ofi was always there to help and recommend the best dishes from the menu. We felt welcome from the beginning to the end. 100% recommended. Food is amazing!

    Francesco is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Coral Gables. The food is spectacular! The ceviche, the scallops meunière, the fish and different rice dishes are delicious. They also have a great bar with one of the best lychee martinis out there. Luisandry is not only an amazing bartender, but is professional and provides excellent service as well as everyone who works at the restaurant. I highly recommend it!

    We decided to try the "new" Francesco's for an anniversary dinner before the theater next door at Actors Playhouse. We'd dined at the "old" Francesco's many times and hoped that the new location would stand up to our high expectations. It surely did! The menu is quite diverse and interesting. However, as we are both eating lighter meals these days, we decided to forego an appetizer and order entrees only. While deciding, I ordered their Passion Sour - it was excellent. My meal, their signature Lomo Saltado with Tacu-Tacu, was excellent. The quality of the meat and the degree of cooking was superb. The tacu-tacu was equally excellent, although somewhat different than at other Peruvian restaurants. My wife order the Cerviche Criollo. The portion was generous and she thought the dish was excellent as well. We did not order dessert as we were both fully satisfied after our main dish. As recognition of our anniversary, the waitress brought us two glasses of sparkling wine to toast our special day. An appreciated extra. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    We sat at the bar and wax served iced cold Prosecco the way I like it! This was One of the best gourmet meals we’ve had. Duck, short rib, lomo salteado, & tuna were superb as was the octopus appetizer. But the extra treat was being serenaded by Joe, the Cuban Frank Sinatra. What a powerful voice! It was a true dining experience. Delightful!
