" Nice experience at Francisco's. Had the eggplant parmesan and it was cooked beautifully, not too greasy. Service was alright, a couple of hiccups with timing, but nothing too distracting. The ambiance had a lovely charm, and overall I enjoyed my visit. I can see why people recommend this spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great hidden gem! Francisco's is easily one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever visited. The food was exceptionally tasty, especially the seafood dishes, which were prepared with great care and freshness. The only drawback was that the portions were slightly smaller than I expected for the price, but the quality definitely made up for it. I’ll certainly be coming back to explore the menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely dinner at Francisco's for our anniversary. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, perfect for a couple's night out. Our server was friendly and offered great recommendations, though we felt a bit rushed towards the end of our meal. Nonetheless, the lasagna was home-cooked perfection, bursting with flavor. Overall, a great dining experience and highly recommended to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at Francisco's had its ups and downs. The food was fantastic, especially the eggplant ravioli, but the service slowed down significantly after we were seated. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and forgot our dessert order. The atmosphere was charming, though, and the management offered us a free dessert to make up for the service delay. I appreciated that gesture. " (*Curated Review*)

" To say that I was looking forward to trying Francisco's would be an understatement. I had heard so many good things! After dining there last week, I can confirm it's worth the visit. The flavors of the pasta were authentic, and the ambiance felt very warm and inviting. It makes you want to linger. Highly recommend their tiramisu as dessert! Pure bliss. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Francisco's for years, and it always delivers! The eggplant parmigiano is a must-try; it boasts so many flavors and is clearly made with quality ingredients. However, I have noticed a decline in service on some busy evenings. Still, with the enchanting view of the river and charming decor, it remains one of my go-to places for a hearty Italian meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had higher expectations for Francisco's based on all the hype, but my experience was a bit disappointing. The food tasted average, lacking the depth of flavor I was hoping for, especially for an Italian restaurant. The service was friendly but a little slow. I’ve had better meals elsewhere, but perhaps I just hit it on an off night. Overall, it's still decent but not legendary. " (*Curated Review*)
