The food was delicious. We ordered the salmon entree and the chicken parm. The Salmon was just okay but the chicken parm was one of the best I've had. The sauce made the meal. Each meal came with soup or salad, potatoes or pasta, dessert and coffee. The salad was yummy, particularly the house dressing. The bread was fresh and soft. We both made a mistake and asked for a baked potato instead of pasta. The potato was fine but both our meals paired better with pasta. The ice cream with coffee was a nice touch. The coffee was really good, like wedding coffee. lol. Each meal was approximately $25 ounces which was well worth it considering what came with it.

I am new to the area, from Southern California, and have eaten here two times. Of the approximately…read more15 restaurants we have eaten at in the area, this is by far the best. When we have out-of-town guests, this is the place we will take them. It's a place I would be proud to take them. It's literally the only place I've been to that I can say that about. All the food is great: from the salmon to the chicken to the pizza to the pasta .... The service is great: helpful, nice, don't rush you out.... The facility is nice: very comfortable with gorgeous architecture and furnishings. This is at the top of our rotation....

Went for Valentine's Day. Loved the touch of giving roses. Was disappointed by the truncated menu…read moreas the dishes I was looking forward to were not available, but I understand they were expecting to be super busy. Food was good not great. Service was the same, had to ask for napkins and a steak knife as they were not brought to us. We our server was very sweet. The bruschetta and oysters Rockefeller were the stand outs-- so good! Both our mains were a bit disappointing. The cook on my husband's steak was incorrect and it had zero char-- pretty much totally gray. My risotto was undercooked with a bit too al dente rice and watery sauce. It also was underseasoned. However the seafood was great so I ate that without hesitation. I keep saying I like but don't love Francesco's, and for dinner for $275 for two people in Rockford, I just expect better quality if we're going to be paying downtown Chicago prices. I would go back but it's not going to be a meal I seek out.

The entire experience was pleasurable from the greeting, to the service, and especially the quality of the meal. We eat primarily vegetarian and the options provided us with a hearty meal.

The food is made on the premises from scratch and tastes like the food I enjoyed in Northern Italy. Grazie mille per l'eccellente esperienza culinaria!

I had the seafood diavolo which was a little spicy but not that great. It had 3 large scallops that were delicious but I didn't really like their sauce. Shrimp were large but tough. My portion was smallish with not much pasta. Load up the inexpensive pasta please. Wife & 1 son had seafood Alfredo & they both liked it. Other Son ordered penne with Alfredo & added a meatball ( which wasn't that big for $4). He liked his All 3 other pasta dishes were a larger portion than mine.
