Francesca's restaurants

Francesca's restaurants Review

Moderate prices and a smart, urbane style drive ceaseless crowds to this Lakeview storefront. Enlightened Italian dishes like classic bruschetta, quattro formaggi (four-cheese) pizza, artichoke and prosciutto pasta, and roast chicken are made with fresh ingredients and avoid stereotypical heaviness. The limited meat options keep the prices low here. While you wait for one of the small, tightly spaced tables—and you will wait—you can have a drink at the bar. Or travel to other Francesca locations, such as Francesca's Forno in Wicker Park, Francesca's on Taylor in Little Italy, or Francesca's on Chestnut in the Gold Coast.

    bruschetta is delicious but restaurant is too small and one sits way too close to neighbors, no privacy. the food is good but nothing special, run of the mill italian which is overrated. coco pazzo is definitely a much better choice.
