Staff and experience was great. I noticed the food is not the same as it used to be. It was fine, but not exceptional that I used to know Mia Francesca for. Seems they have made some changes to the quality.

The team at Francesca‘s North was outstanding. We had a small weather condition roll in which delayed our arrival, but Francesca‘s was able to accommodate a 15 minute reschedule for our reservation time while we were on our way. The food was absolutely outstanding. The service was kind and complementary and the GM Scott (52) even stop by the table to make sure everything was wonderful for the evening. Looking forward to going back over the summer so we can sit outside on the patio as that look like a lovely area as well.

The restaurant was decorated lovely for the holidays. Tables are too close together! My dining companion and I made a swift exit because neither one of us could hear the other. Service was friendly and attentive. Food is good, but nothing special. I was brought a plastic container for the leftovers! The restaurant needs to be more mindful about plastic and more mindful about the ingredients used in their food. The restaurant has potential to be fabulous…

Host sat us at a table for two and then proceeded to sit people all around us when he had the whole restaurant for seating. Very inconsiderate of the host. Very limited menu for an Italian restaurant. The server, Alberto was very kind and explained the limited menu. The only positive was the server! Once and done!

I have been coming here for almost 30 years. The food is basically very good. They’ve recently changed the menu which is refreshing. I was disappointed to see that with your bread now they have a Parmesan shaker on the table not good. I’m not at Olive Garden. Although our server was great, I really felt rushed..

Consistent neighborhood place. Had the roasted chicken which I really liked. Wife had salmon, which was a little over cooked for our taste. They do make very good drinks. The sausage and pepper appetizer was really good, almost the best part of dinner.

You are seated close to each other so it’s kind of noisy. Overall our waiter was very nice & attentive. Food arrived quickly & was so delicious. I am definitely returning.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Francesca North! Alejandro was a great server for our group of 6 with allergies. Everything was perfect and that is saying a lot on a holiday which are always very hectic for restaurants. They did a great job!

Kim took care of our family with attention to detail and kindness on Thanksgiving. Our food was fantastic and drinks were also delicious. They offered a classic Italian cuisine with a nice additional menu for traditional Thanksgiving Day offerings. Great experience for our family!
