Francesca's Amici

Hosted a wonderful 90th Birthday party for my Mother-in-law. The food and drinks were delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. The wait staff was exceptional. The room was set up exactly as we had discussed and beautifully decorated. Everyone was very attentive throughout the process from the banquet manager to the wait staff. Will definitely look to Francesca’s Amici for future banquet needs as well as just a night on the town.

Haven’t been here in a while and decided to grab dinner after a Christmas concert. Our waiter was terrific ( I didn’t catch his name : ( ) super accommodating. The linguine with clam sauce was delicious as well as the chicken parmesan and pasta with vodka sauce. Beautiful holiday atmosphere! We will be back!

Staff: Nico and Enrique were gratuitous, knowledgeable and welcoming. Rapid and caring to detail service. Support staff kind as well. The managers care about how the restaurant looks, how the food tastes and hearing feedback from customers. Atmosphere: clean, pretty. Tables and booths. Party room available. Handicapped accessible. Full bar in front. Average volume, not too loud or not too quiet. Recommended to dress business casual. Bathrooms: beautifully decorative and private. Modern. Clean. Food: favorite item is spinach ravioli. Also had a mushroom pasta. Tea was by company Forte with choices of flavors. Good portions. Nice temperature of food. Bread on table with cheese and deliciously spiced oil. Would buy a whole bottle of the oil if an option. Could be a nice gift for people. Restaurant surrounds: Free street and lot parking. Near businesses, shops, movie theater, Starbucks and grocery store. Safe and clean area. Good for business meetings, dates, family and special events. Will return soon. Highly recommend.

We came here for my husband's 50th birthday and had a party of 20. We had to scrap original plans elsewhere and Nancy, the event manager was able to find us space in the private dining room 3 days before the event. We had the menu set up including kids meals. The day of the party, the two gentleman assigned to us were super attentive, constantly coming back in to check on us, when we wanted to have the next course out, refilling drinks, cleaning away dishes, packing up left overs to go so nothing went to waste. The food was delicious! Everyone raved about how great everything was and they were kind enough to bring out a special piece of tiramisu for the birthday boy. Highly recommend Francesca's for a special occasion! Thank you so much to the wonderful wait staff!!

We held a private memorial luncheon with a group of 40. From beginning to end they treated me and my family with empathy and most respect understanding we had just suffered a big loss. The events manager Nancy and the restaurant staff are lovely. The atmosphere, service, and the restaurant are excellent. The food was delicious! Fresh ingredients and superb quality. They even boxed up our family style lunch and we were able to take it home, most places would not do that. They allowed us plenty of time to have conversations and continued to be attentive to our family during this most difficult time. I would not hesitate to dine here again or to host another event. To Francesca’s Amici - Elmhurst, Thank you to the service, quality and perfection on this day.

We had a family style luncheon after my husband's Funeral Mass. Our son and grandson spoke and the staff was polite and waited until they finished to bring the food. The service was outstanding. The food was warm, delicious and plentiful. They even boxed up left over food and the guests took them home as they left. It was a difficult day but was thankful that we selected Francesca’s,

Very clean restaurant. Staff was super nice. A good selection of wine. Not a lot of food items to choose from, but the food was very good. Felt like we had 2 servers because ours was always somewhere else when we needed him. They give you some baguette before your meal. We did order some calamari for an appetizer but we never received it. We were waiting on our appetizer but we got our food. Never said anything to the server because it was too late at that point and it wasn't on the bill. Would recommend for a date or a quiet dinner with friend.

This was our first time dining here therefore we were not familiar with their menu. We ordered the chicken Roma, I believe it’s called, we expected pasta to come with the dish but it was just half-chicken. It was good but plain, no sides, for $30 dollars. Our waiter was very nice and friendly so no complaints on the service. The atmosphere is good. I will probably return but will not be ordering the same dish. Everything else we ordered was good.

The place is beautiful inside very classy, clean, and modern. It was my first time at Francesca’s, I sat alone at the bar. I was greeted and taken care of by Pauly, he’s amazing! He took his time explaining the menu and drinks to me, which was extremely helpful. Especially since I’m so indecisive. Definitely give this place a 10/10! I stopped in for a light lunch, but I’ll definitely be back for pasta!
