What VeronicaM doesn't like about Francesca's North:
Menu is too ambitious and not particularly appealing. But food was good. Service was good. With so many restaurants to choose from on the North Shore, it wasn’t surprising that the restaurant was only half full on a Sunday at 6:00 pm. View all feedback. What François Besnard likes about Francesca's North:
We always have a great meal at Francesca north. The tables are spaced apart and they also offer outdoor dining. Service was great. Manager was very accommodating and checked in our table multiple times View all feedback.

Pro-tip: stick with the pastas or the non-salad , baked chicken as the limited lunch menu speaks volumes. Decided to eat a little healthier as I've been

Francesca North Shore offers a mixed dining experience according to recent reviews. While some found the menu to be overly ambitious and not particularly appealing, others praised the delicious food and good service. The restaurant was noted to be only half full on a Sunday evening, suggesting strong competition in the area. Some guests felt discriminated against when a birthday dessert was offered to a neighboring table but not to them. Others enjoyed the typical fare, with highlights being the tender calamari and the scallop and shrimp dish. Although some found the food just okay, the excellent service and accommodating manager stood out. Positive reviewers highlighted the friendly staff, delicious food, and kid-friendly environment. Overall, Francesca North Shore seems to offer a reliable dining experience with room for improvement in noise level and menu creativity.
