   They've updated the menu! The Bucatini alla Carbonara was good as was the apple crumble. My only disappointed was "my sangiovese" was out.

   Everything about Francesca’s is amazing EXCEPT the HIGH TOP TABLES in the bar area. They rock back and forth something fierce. Two workers tried to “fix” the issue and it was very temporary. They really shouldn’t have to do that. The issue needs to be resolved because it has been going on for quite some time. Too much anxiety wondering if our water or cocktails would be in our laps with one false move.

   Francesca's is a neighborhood gem. I can't believe I've been going to this restaurant for 35 years. The service is excellent, the food is delicious and it's a friendly place.
