    We had the best time and loved our menu choices which included the trio spread sampler, moussaka and the chicken skewer entree. My daughter and I loved everything and look forward to enjoying our leftovers at home. Service was great in the very busy dining room! We love Avli.

    Wonderful experience! First time at Francesca but we will definitely be back! We started out with the CARPACCIO CON AVOCADO, along with their fresh bread - fantastic! My husband ordered ROLLI ALLA FRANCESCA, which he was very happy with. I ordered AGNOLOTTI QUATTRO FORMAGGI, delicious little pasta pillows with wild mushrooms & brown butter sauce. Well balanced, and delicious! We went for the classic tiramisu, the best I’ve ever had! We also ordered the Sticky Toffee Carrot Cake. My husband orders carrot cake wherever we go & he said this was definitely in his top 3. The coffee was simple, classic and delicious. Along with solid service, the manager came over to introduce himself & check on us. Chefs kiss to this entire dining experience!

    I was so happy we were able to get in last minute. We looked at reservations for tonight around 11 am, the only thing available was 9:15. Maybe 45 minutes later a 6:45 pops up and we were able to snag it. We had the short rib humus, whipped feta, hamachi, pork belly, steak & frites, fried halloumi and two kabobs. Perfect for all 4 of us hungry eaters. 100% will be back- if you can get in I highly recommend trying anything and everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. Food was courses perfectly and everything came out hot right out of the oven. If you have been to Bavel in LA you will love this “sister” in Chicago

    We enjoyed its convenience to Redtwist Theater. The food was made on site with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the broccoli soup. Our server was delightful and efficient. Atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable. This is clearly a place where people come both for just a cup of coffee or a nice sit-down meal. Don't be confused by the Julius Meinl signs on the outside. This is not just a coffee shop!
