The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant.

Had a FABULOUS birthday dinner at Mia Francesca. Shared the asparagus salad, which was very fresh and delicious. Had the rigatoni alla vodka and rolli alla Francesca (in-house made pasta!) entrees. Both were exceptionally well-prepared. (Honestly, the rolli was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in years.) Portion sizes were more than generous. Split the profiteroles for dessert, and they were the perfect end to dinner. Wine list was good. Our waiter, Rene, was on top of things the entire dinner. Atmosphere was wonderful. Will definitely return and bring our family/friends!

We were going to Allstate Arena so restaurant was very busy…the noise level was high so alittle difficult to talk as a group. Also took a long time to get our cocktail order taken and then delivered. But our server was excellent once she had time for us.
