" Wow! I just love this place. Every time I go, I am blown away by the freshness of their ingredients and the flavor profiles they create. My favorite dish has to be the bolognese; it’s rich, meaty, and bursting with flavors. The service is top-notch every single time, ensuring I have an amazing experience. The atmosphere is cozy but vibrant, perfect for date nights. Can't sing enough praises for Francesca's Intimo! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves going to Francesca's for special occasions. The service is always excellent, and the atmosphere makes it feel special. The veal is my favorite, cooked to absolute perfection, while my kids adore the fettuccine alfredo. We've never been disappointed with the quality of food or the level of service. A great Italian place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was curious about Francesca's due to its reputation. I was pleased with the experience overall. The food was good, but I was expecting something extraordinary. The customer service was polite, but I felt rushed at times, suggesting they may need more staff for peak hours. Still, the food tasted fresh, and I enjoyed my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Francesca's Intimo is an absolute gem! I went with friends for a casual dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. The bruschetta was the perfect start, topped with fresh tomatoes and basil, and the pastas were cooked al dente. The dessert was to die for - rich and creamy panna cotta! Our server was attentive and provided great recommendations, making our experience even better. This is definitely a place I will revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Francesca's Intimo after hearing great things, but I was left a bit disappointed. The food was good, but I expected exceptional based on the reviews. My pasta was slightly overcooked, and the dessert lacked that homemade touch I was hoping for. Our server did try their best, however, so all wasn’t lost. The ambiance was cozy but a bit cramped.

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*)
