The Izakaya is located on the subterranean level of Momotaro. The Izakaya and its shared-plates pub-inspired menu echoes the Yokocho street scene of Tokyo. Narrow lounge-inspired ‘alleys’ around a central bar bedecked with hand-painted Japanese menus, moody neon lights, and vintage Tokyo street signs set the scene for the Izakaya’s direct nod to Tokyo’s most famous post-war black markets. Dark, energetic, and ripe with expectation, the Izakaya additionally offers a 30-seat bar featuring crafted cocktails, sakes, and a quality selection of Japanese whiskeys. Parties and programming are no strangers to the Izakaya, where a rotating selection of events, including Monday Night Karaoke, feel right at home in this lively lower-level atmosphere.

    The portion was not enough for the money. I expected family size portions but they were not enough for a family to share.

    The food was great, service was excellent too. But very irresponsible of the management to not post anything on their website that there will NOT be a Bollywood DJ night on Valentine’s Day when they specify that Friday’s and Saturday’s are DJ nights on their website. That is misleading information! We reserved a late table to experience the Bollywood music only to find out that they won’t do that on Valentine’s Day which was on a Friday! Also, the management needs to better prepare of train their front desk staff who attends calls and makes reservations. She was rude, she didn’t bother to get the entrance area cleaned by someone when I told her that the floor so slippery from all the snow and muck that people bring in. The restaurant needs to be more respectful and responsible to the customers who decide not to cancel their reservation when the weather is so bad.

    The food we had at Mia Francesca’s was great, but what really set it apart was the service. Ben was a fantastic waiter: extremely kind, personable, and offered stellar menu recommendations! We are very glad we chose Mia Francesca’s for our Valentine’s Day celebration and especially grateful to Ben for going above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely night out.
