Came to Francesca’s for Last minute Thanksgiving reservations because our other plans were canceled. The location is adorable and the restaurant was festive and inviting. Server was attentive and hospitable. Drinks were amazing- limoncello martini recommended by our waiter was perfectly not too sweet. Plenty of food options, Italian Charcuterie board had me back for seconds and the spinach apple salad was sooo good as were all the other traditional Thanksgiving dishes. The dessert table had many choices- I would buy a box of the green tea amaretto cookies! Overall it was exactly what we were looking for and not one thing to complain about. Thank you for a great evening.

Jason gave us excellent service. Prices are reasonable, and food choices were great for an Italian restaurant. Food was brought hot and promptly. We had the spinach artichoke dip, which was delicious, and both of us had a Lasagna, and it was yummy.
