Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

    1 st time diners - I never go close to the city, but L.Woods looked intriguing and I had to find a place close to my dining partner. BEST CHOICE I have made on a place for lunch. We were seated immediately, our server, Esteban was wonderful. The drinks were perfect and the meal was exceptionally flavorful and delightful. I could not have found a better place to go. I had the chopped salad and my friend had the bacon burger. Just an all-around fantastic experience. It really was like being in a high-end Wisconsin supper club! I cannot say enough good things about it. I will absolutely be back and I will highly recommend it to all my friends! Thank you for a great experience L. Woods!

    This is my go to special dinner spot. Pricing is reasonable, and the menu has a broad range of options at various price points. You can go all in on a large surf and turf or have spaghetti and meatballs and still have a great meal. The service is unparalleled. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, humorous and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is just right. Busy but not hurried or loud. “Free” Valet parking is also a plus. One of those rare dependable spots where I can count on a great experience.

    One of the best Wildfire experiences I’ve ever had, which is saying a lot as I have been eating there regularly since it opened and frequented the Chicago location before that. Food as good as ever, good crowd and the best server I have ever had. We spent two and half hours at dinner and were never rushed and never not taken care of even when we were last group on the restaurant: A+
