Was Sarah Frauchiger at Villa Francesca a mag?
We really enjoyed the bruschetta, which is not on the menu for some reason, but our server told us about it, and the house salad was delicious. The lobster ravioli was good, but not as flavorful as I expected. My husband enjoyed his pesto spaghetti. The pesto seemed very fresh. Service was friendly, but a bit slow. They were quite busy, so it’s understandable. View all feedback.

What Rusty dislikes about Villa Francesca:
Went there on a recommendation. Almost no one in restaurant upon arrival made me wonder why. Very nice, very small Italian cafe. Four of us my wife and me along with couple friends. Service was actually below 1 star. We saw 3 teenage kids as staff that's it all night. They were completely untrained and somewhat shy. My wife and my friend's wife split the lobster special. My buddy and I both had individual plates. His... View all feedback.

Francesca‘s never disappoints. The food is always fantastic with great service. It is slightly more expensive than some other places nearby but well worth the price.

The basement reeks of old food and is very hot. Made the fact that the food was tasty hard to enjoy. Would only ever go back if I knew I was to be sat upstairs.

We had a large party (8 diners) and had attempted to make a reservation by phone a few days ahead; we were told they would not accept any reservation for more than 4 diners. So we booked two table of 4, requesting that we might be seated close to each other. The maître d' initially told us upon our arrival (fifteen minutes before the 7:15 reservation) that this request would be impossible on a busy Saturday evening. However, to our delight he came back shortly to inform us that if we were willing to wait a few extra minutes, he would be able to seat us all at one table, as another party had cancelled at the last minute. This elevated our experience to a very pleasurable one! The service, wine cocktails, and food were all excellent; I allot each of those areas five stars. I have taken one star off the ambiance, only because we were seated downstairs by the wine cellar where it was both a bit chilly and the music coming from the speaker above increased the challenge of hearing and conversing at a comfortable rate. We would certainly recommend Villa Francesca to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience, and we will likley be coming back ourselves!
