They literally mean "little oranges" from the fact that, after being fried, they resemble the shape and color of small oranges. Named after one of the owner's grandmothers in Italy, I decided on lunch at Francesca Pizza and Pasta, located on Market Street in Elmwood Park. Upon entering this small, clean, and informal eatery after my visit of 5 years, I was greeted by Salvatore, one of the owners. Their menu features rice balls, pizza, pasta, wraps, and sandwiches using original homemade family recipes except for the chicken nuggets and French fries. I decided on the Baby Spinach Arancino and Regular Arancino with the beef and cheese. When one bites into them, you're met with layers of flavor and texture. First comes the crispy outer layer, followed by a creamy risotto, and finally a center of melted cheese. Their homemade marinara sauce complemented the rice balls, which were deliciously tasty and the right serving portion.The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. The price was comparable to the area. I can recommend this place.

In my opinion, the pictures online exaggerated the size of the pizza so it was to my surprise when…read moreI opened the box and there was a mediocre sized half and half pizza. The least they could've done was stretch the pizza out to the shape of a square to fill more of the box. Especially, since the pizza was about 80% dough, 20% toppings/cheese and sauce. I appreciate pizza when there is more sauce so this felt more like I was eating breadsticks with some toppings. I was glad to try it because I've seen YouTubers visit but I definitely wouldn't visit again. Not to mention I called and waited the estimated 15-20 minutes for pickup but when we arrived it took more like 30-40 minutes. So the disappointment was real but hey, not all restaurants can be winners!

It is family owed, and the service may be slow at times but the quality of food you cannot compare. Tonight we had as an appetizers the calamari, french fries and grilled octopus.
