" What a fantastic dining experience! I went to Francesca's for a group dinner, and we all had a wonderful time. The staff went out of their way to make sure that our table was well served, and they were friendly throughout the evening. The highlight for me was the tiramisu, which was light and sweet without being overpowering. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m always hesitant to try out a new Italian restaurant, but Francesca's Intimo has truly won me over. From the start, the staff made us feel right at home, and our meals were exquisite. I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish and was met with a delightful blend of flavors and textures. I also appreciate their accommodating nature; my friend had dietary restrictions, and they were able to create something special for her. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Francesca's for a special occasion and was taken aback by the level of service and quality. The manager personally greeted us, and our server, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations. Each dish we ordered was flavorful and authentic, making for the perfect meal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't too impressed by my experience at Francesca's Intimo. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy, but I found the food underwhelming considering the hype. My dish, something with eggplant and marinara, felt like it lacked depth of flavor. The server was very nice but seemed overwhelmed. Overall, I felt the experience didn’t live up to expectations based on previous reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Francesca's Intimo simply exceeded my expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and taken right to our table. The atmosphere was comfy-casual, yet upscale. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, and it may be the best I’ve ever had! Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled across Francesca's while looking for a new Italian place, and I’m so glad I did! The ambiance was lovely, with a cozy, inviting feel. The food was delicious, especially the ricotta gnocchi, which I could eat every day! The staff was friendly, warmly welcoming us and making sure we had everything we needed. A perfect dining night out, I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

Each employee we interacted with was friendly and eager to ensure we had a wonderful time. The food? Authentic and delicious! From the garlic bread to the handmade pasta, I’ve loved everything. Be sure to try the desserts - heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)
