Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

Three of us dined for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed sharing 5 of the small plates (which are not small!), each of which was exquisite, unique and delicious.

I cannot say enough great things about this neighborhood gem- we drive an hour from the suburbs, and it’s worth it every time. High quality food made with love, exceptional service, cozy atmosphere on a winter evening, and the live piano music is a lovely touch. If you’ve been to Turkey, you know this food and hospitality is the real deal!!
