My nicoise salad was very good. My friend ordered the salmon poke bowl. It really was small & high priced for the size. Our waiter was very nice. The only negative, it was cold in the restaurant.

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!

The food was delicious. We had a great server. I loved my salad. It had beets and walnuts, and the nuts were extremely fresh. My sister is a vegetarian, and the server suggested a pasta with cheese, looked like spaghetti. It was so delicious. I tried a little bit of it. We also had an almond cake that was very good with bourbon maple gelato. Tasted kind of boozy we loved it ha ha ha.
