My wife and I had an amazing time here the other day. They had a tent outside and appropriate social distancing measures in place. All the employees were wonderful, and the food was amazing. The drinks were also great too. We had a mango mai tai, and I must have had four of those; they went down so easily.
Best Italian food I’ve had in California. Amazing food and service. Romantic ambience.
I ordered the cannelloni which I thought was ok, but not great.
I hadn’t eaten there since before the lockdown. I don’t think they’ve done a great job in making a suitable ambience for eating outdoors. It just feels like you’re sitting in the middle of the street. The table was on a slant, which didn’t help either
If I were to return, I would make sure I was able to see it on the patio next to the restaurant.
Israel and Jaime always provide the best service.
Alberto please bring the wild rice risotto with seafood and saffron sauce back on the menu.
So enjoyed the food and wine. Always a great meal.
COVID has apparently impacted the size of their plates and quality of their food. Service outside was good, but amazingly NO HEAT LAMPS outside so be forewarned! Loved this place pre-COVID ...hope they come back.
I’ve been to this restaurant about 4 times now and it hasn’t disappointed at all. The servers are very friendly and kind. Not to mention the food I’ve tried is always so delicious! Totally recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Italian food with delicious plates and tasty wine!
The service was absolutely amazing! We had multiple servers making sure we were doing okay and the food came out really quickly. They were super attentive, kind, and helpful! Also the food is absolutely AMAZING!!
I really enjoyed this restaurant-. The food was delicious and the service was good. I even really like how they decorated the tent with Christmas lights for outdoor dining.
Always a great dining experience. They are making the best of a difficult situation by serving outside on the Orange Paseo. Contact them for takeout food as it appears we are going into another lockdown.
Absolutely wonderful, service was great at lunch time, able to eat and relax, but still get back to work!
Fabulous, great food . Service was excellent. Waiter perfect. Outside dinning was Fabulous, keeping me warm with hot coffee ☕. Thank you Poco our waiter, making me feel that little bit of Italian in the circle of orange. Please visit
Always a wonderful time at Francoli! Service and food, top of the line
Great wonderful place!
Always excellent food & attentive service. Felt very welcomed and enjoyed Hosting bday lunch for a dear friend. We felt safe & were socially distanced.
Salad - very wilted.
Clams - tasteless and few of them.
House wine - wonderful.
Friend’s filet tacos - delicious
Waitress terrific
Their weekly specials are always wonderful. Cocktail preparation is great and inventive. I love eating outside, even though that is the only choice right now!
Francoli’s is the best!
One of the best and authentic Italian restaurants in Southern California. They also have a location in the Piedmont region in Italy as well. Try Fancoli Gourmet, they won’t disappoint and you will definitely enjoy. Truly outstanding!
It was great other than the untrained hostess telling us at the moment we were seated that they needed the table back by 6:15. I felt it was an idiotic statement to make when seating a couple on a Saturday night. Other than that stupidity it was really good.
This was a weekend so a lot more crowded. It's more pleasant during the week when there are empty tables. But the food and service were still up to their high standards.
Great all around experience! The food never disappoints!
Everything we had was off the charts great! Service as always was superb.
Friendly staff and Quick service
We were looking for a casual place with really great food, and we found it. The bucatini was perfect. We will definitely be back.
Francoli Gourmet never disappoints! Their entire staff is there to serve you in every way possible. They're kind and nice when they greet you and wait on you. The food is amazing. I had some of the best salmon I've ever had in my life last week and I'm now afraid I'll never try anything else there!
Great food and great service. We had a reservation and they were accmodating as to the seat that we wanted.
We really enjoyed our meal and drinks at Francoli’s! Service was excellent too! Thank you!
Friendly staff and delicious food!
Dinner was great. This is a good place for a date. Not too pricey, yet still nice. The server was friendly.
outstanding service and food...also if you like top shelf Italian wines in OC you have found the best selection this side of Tuscany...once you go you will be back...Alberto and team are da best...don suggs
Wonderful outdoor dining experience. Service was a bit slow but great overall. Food and wine excellent as always. Love the new added on outdoor tables.
We were a party of three, two newbies. We all enjoyed our Pasta Entrees. The Mushroom Polenta appetizer was not as Creamy as in the past and the Mushroom sauce topping lacked it's usual great flavor??
The food was great, and so was the service!
We will return soon
Friendly, courteous and available servers; seating was good, quiet and comfortable, with pleasant views. Food was served hot and fresh, but portions were small, and even basic pasta items were quite expensive. Menu had extensive selection, representing a wider than average array of Northern Italian dishes. Good experience, but way overpriced. There are a few other Italian eateries in the immediate vicinity, and I would recommend considering diminish there instead.
Great place for fresh fish, pasta, Italian wine. Interesting specials are available each week.
Casual dining in the street is very European and goes well with the Italian feel. Covid, and a mask, of course puts a damper on everything... but the food and service makes up for it all in the end. Love this restaurant!
Great service especially during covid. Drinks were weak and we said something and they replaced them for us. Food wasn’t the best. Service was great.
We love this place ! Always a great meal and great service !
Great, authentic Italian food, served with a smile. The menu is is good and the food that comes out of the kitchen is even better.
