The food was absolutely delicious and every item we tried was full of flavor. Each dish felt carefully prepared and truly enjoyable. I will definitely come back again without a second thought. The restaurant has a very warm and pleasant vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. It is a great place for a romantic dinner or a relaxed family outing. The outdoor seating option is also a lovely bonus and adds to the overall experience.

I should have ordered the steak. It looked, smell delicious. However, I ordered Sea Bass platter and it did not disappoint!!! Mussels and clams, the sauce, lightly breaded to perfection. Just a tad bit too salty. Just a tad.
I almost forgot…
The best item in this menu was the meatballs. It’s a blend of 3 meats, the sauce and whatever that white creamy cheese is called It’s on the appetizer menu. I should have ordered some to take home!

Great service.
Great atmosphere.
Only item that I found lacking in flavor were the meatballs, but that’s just my own opinion.
Everything else was so DELICIOUS!
Rigatoni with the vodka sauce.
Salmon plate.
And the lemon olive oil cake. They also brought out a plate with ice cream and a candle for my birthday.
Thank you everyone at Francesca’s!!!

I went on Thanksgiving for the first time, not knowing what to expect. From the moment hit the door, the service was outstanding. Stephen the manager and Gina the waitress showed kindness, a sense of humor, and just a tiny bit of sass, though it was kind too. Gina deserves an extra shout out for her sense of humor and outstanding service. The stuffing was phenomenal!

My fiance and I visited Francesca’s for the first time recently and were very impressed! The interior is classy and the atmosphere was perfect for date night. The staff were welcoming, attentive and professional. We were delighted to know that the kitchen is happy to fulfill off-menu requests. Lastly, the food was superb! I highly recommend the crispy brussels sprouts!! We will definitely be back soon.

We had high hopes for Francesca’s when we decided to have our Valentines Day dinner there but unfortunately, our experience fell short. Despite having a reservation, we faced a long wait before being seated, which set a frustrating tone for the evening. Our reservations were for 6:30 and we didn’t get a table until 7:30.
When our food finally arrived, it was disappointingly cold and lacked the flavor and quality I had anticipated. While the ambiance was pleasant and the staff was courteous, the overall execution did not match the restaurant’s reputation or price point.
I understand that restaurants can have off nights, but given the long wait and underwhelming meal, it’s hard to justify a return visit. I hope they address these issues because the potential is there, but improvement is needed.

Let me share that I do NOT take my birthday lightly. My husband chose Francesca’s in Elmhurst for my birthday date night and I am nothing short of impressed. The hand cut pasta, the fresh produce and seafood, and the pure joy Fernando, Gina, and Giana exude made my evening extraordinary.
100 out of 10. Highly recommended!

We recently held a baby shower for 60 people in the private room. The event could not have gone any better. From the pre-event planning, thanks to Nancy, to the manager Fernando, and our event hostess, Ashley, and the other servers, the service was fabulous. We also got a lot of compliments from our guests about the delicious food. They had no problems accommodating a few gluten-free guests as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for private parties, or just a really tasty meal.

Fell in for lunch after a yoga class which was great and this was better than the yoga! Enrique met me with a warm smile and great service! Excellent lobster bisque.

In summary, Francesca’s Amici stands out for its excellent food, beautiful decor, and efficient service, though parking can be a bit of a hassle. Overall, a place worth visiting for a satisfying meal.
