“ Francesco’s is our favorite Italian restaurant because the food is fresh and delicious. The staff are always friendly, and Frank the owner is always onsite with a warm welcome. This is a true family restaurant, with “old school” charm that reminds me of all the wonderful Italian restaurants I remember growing up in Staten Island. This place feels like home. And their catering is also excellent. ”
“ Yes...5 Stars across the board, pleasantly surprised to see a little pizza place with a nice dining room in the back(we were told it was recently renovated) gives this place an atmosphere worth visiting where other small pizza places lack. Tablecloths and cozy but small so keep that in mind during weekends. We got the last table on a Tuesday even though it was a pasta special menu night...(btw, lots of nice choices too). The service was good, the complimentary garlic knots were hot and full of tasty fresh garlic, the included house salad was excellent too. Our choice this first trip was off the regular menu, it was a classic and conservative dish: chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta, and penne ala vodka w/ added chicken. Well they were both delivered hot, presented nicely, filled the plates, full of flavor, tender pieces of chicken, and both just as you'd expect... Delicious! Only negative I could mention would be our plates were cold, however the food was hot enough to have no effect, just more of a perception thing. ”
