" We had a small family gathering at Francesca's, and it was quite a lovely experience. The atmosphere was lively and warm, very welcoming. The service was fast and efficient, and they were more than happy to accommodate our dietary requests. The food tasted homemade, just how I like it. By the time dessert came, I was in heaven with the perfect tiramisu to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend it for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time dining at Francesca's North, and I must say I came away extremely impressed! The food was delicious infusing homemade tastes reminiscent of my grandmother's cooking. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and portions were very generous too. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in. My only quibble would be the lack of parking space, but that won’t stop me from returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Francesca's North a couple of times now, and I must say, every visit leaves me with a smile. The rigatoni alla vodka is a personal favorite! It's rich and creamy without being overwhelming. The service is also top-notch; on my last visit, Margo was attentive and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. The ambiance is perfect for a family dinner or a romantic date night. I highly recommend this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" A below-average experience unfortunately. Despite the glowing reviews, I found the service lacking. We were forgotten for long stretches and the food was merely okay. The ambiance is nice, though, and the tiramisu was decent, but I left feeling underwhelmed. Perhaps it’s just a one-off for an otherwise liked restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fabulous dining adventure at Francesca's North! Our server was incredibly charming and knowledgeable. We had an array of Italian classics and everything was remarkably good. My personal favorite was the gnocchi; it was so light and fluffy! Can't wait to return and dive into another amazing meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent experience here having lunch with friends. What stood out the most was their freshly made pasta, it was just divine! Each of us had a different dish and the taste was impeccable. The rustic ambiance made us feel right at home. Their prices were reasonable for such high quality; I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed by the food here, which I found to be bland and uninspired. The service wasn't much better unfortunately. Despite the nice decor and pleasant atmosphere, I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience. Maybe I just came on a bad night but I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
