    My wife and I are frequent diners here. We had a very nice Greek salad and then the special Beef Wellington, which was the best piece of beef we have ever had, with a dressing to befit it. Well worth the price! Our server, Shayna, was terrific in her attentiveness, efficiency and promptness. What set her apart was her wonderful personality and sharing of her own story. She definitely added to the enjoyment of the evening! We got Christmas gift cards for our family, so we’ll be back regularly to use our bonus cards!

    The servers were very nice and welcoming. The food is awesome. I used to live in Chicago little Italy area 20 years ago and Francesca was my favorite Italian and was located on Taylor street. I moved out of chicago and missed this place so much. Now I am visiting Chicago and found out Taylor street one is gone. But near my hotel in Northbrook, Francesca’s North reminded me the flavor that I was looking for. Perfect pasta and perfect calamari!!

    As part of my team Christmas outing we went to dinner at DiPescara. After going to the Chicago Botanical Gardens light show it was the perfect place—friendly and attentive staff, good selection of beverages, specials, appetizers, salads, entrees and wine. Everyone loved their meal and the prices were very reasonable.
