" Francesca's Cucina is a lovely dining option with a warm and inviting ambiance. I had the chicken parmesan which was decent, and my husband enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Though the food was good, it didn't completely blow me away. The dessert was a highlight, though! Overall, an enjoyable evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Francesca’s Cucina by chance, and I’m so happy I did! The outdoor patio is charming, and the food is utterly delightful! I had the seafood riggies, and they were packed with flavor. The service was prompt, and my only complaint would be that I wish I had come with a larger appetite! Cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Francesca's for a birthday celebration, and it lived up to the hype. The food was exceptional, honestly one of the best meals I’ve had. I highly recommend the seafood riggies; it is out of this world! The atmosphere felt romantic albeit a bit noisy at times. The waiting staff was friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait to come back with a bigger crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place offers a fantastic dining atmosphere! We loved the outdoor seating area and the wait staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional, with my favorite being the lobster ravioli—it was rich and flavorful. It’s definitely on my list for another visit. However, I recommend going in early to avoid the evening rush! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming into Francesca's, and while the steak was cooked well, it just didn’t stand out. The atmosphere needs a little noise reduction, as it was difficult to converse at times. Service was decent, but I felt a little ignored when we had questions about the menu. Worth another try as the reviews were positive! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely one of the better Italian places I've been to. The food is rich and fantastic! I had the braised beef pappardelle, which had the perfect sauce to pasta ratio. My friends had various appetizers, and they all raved about the flavors. Service was prompt, which was excellent for our large party. The only downside was the overall noise level; it was not easy to talk across the table. Still, it's a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Francesca's Cucina did not meet my expectations. While the food was decent, I found it overly greasy for Italian cuisine. The staff was friendly but seemed disorganized, and service was slow. I might give it another chance, as I believe restaurants can have off nights. " (*Curated Review*)
