    As always, Francesca's Viccinnato was at the top of their game. The place was packed with people out for Christmas Eve dinner but the staff was up to the challenge. We were greeted at the door and our table for 6 people was waiting for us. From there it only got better as the service was excellent and the food outstanding as always. Merry Christmas to everyone at Francesca's. You all made our Christmas eve dinner a very enjoyable memory. Thank You
