Mia Francesca

My wife and I took her sister to the restaurant for her birthday. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Amazing experience. Everytime we are in Chicago we always visit Francesca and are never disappointed. Food is delicious, staff is friendly, detailed and go out of their way to make you feel apart of the family. A Chicago must!!!!

Great service.. really good food

Absolutely wonderful place for all occasions. I highly recommend going, especially if you're looking for a gluten free dining experience.

Nice ambiance mediocre food not so great value for the price. You can find better options

I attempted to purchase $300 in gift cards two days prior to our reservation. That was a disaster! After three attempts and two conversations with “Jim” at the Francesca’s central number, it was suggested that I purchase them at the restaurant on the day of our reservation. Apparently, the cards can’t be used for 24 hours. Our waitress was excellent but the portions were small. At least if I had been able to purchase the gift cards I would’ve been willing to try again with the bonus gift cards. At the cost of 343.00 plus tip, not including any alcohol, it was disappointing.

Enjoyed dinner before the Blue Man Group... excellent food and service. Kid friendly and still fine dining. Service was outstanding! Would definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank you!

Poor service for lunch; only four tables were full. Pasta was mediocre.

Staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice, but I used to love their food. Recently it seems like the menu changed and the pasta is now just okay.

Very good food. A bit slow on service.

My veal entree was delicious and my wife enjoyed her risotto, which came in a very generous portion. Service was attentive despite the busy evening in the restaurant. We also enjoyed the house-made limoncello. We hope to return soon.

Concern with service: one of our party received her meal a good ten minutes before the remaining three of us had ours. The place wasn't that busy but the help seem a little disorganized.

Always a delicious dining experience.

Excellent GF food. Service great. Noise level way too high. I could barely hear my dining companion across the table from me. Tables placed too close together. Waitress had a difficult time navigating her way between tables to serve diners.

Took our daughter out for a treat and had a delicious meal!

My family started going to Francesca restaurants in 1995 and it has been our “go to” place for dates, celebrations and business functions. We have always been happy with our outings until the last year. The service is always solid but the food certainly not so much anymore. In fact, it has been disappointing and even embarrassing when we hosted a group of friends not long ago.

My wife and I decided to grab a quick early dinner Friday night but the food was not good. My wife had the seafood pasta and it was highly over salted and in my option lacked any other seasoning and The seafood was lackluster portion wise. To make matters worse I tried the pasta with beef but the meat was either freezer burned or spoiled. My wife tried it to make sure my taste buds weren’t off but she immediately spit out the meat and asked for our waiter and she told him the meat was sour tasting and spoiled. He apologized and asked if f I wanted to order something else and I chose the pasta with salmon. This entree was really bland and the pasta was undercooked. Rather than prolong the meal we decided to leave. The manager on duty came over and apologized but we are convinced that something has definitely changed with the quality of food and preparation and it’s not for the better.

This makes the 4th visit in a row where we have been disappointed. We hate to give up on a great place but it hasn’t met our expectations and is not worth the money for what we received. I really hope they read this review and try to reach out because I would be happy to provide further details. There are too many great restaurants in the city to settle for something mediocre at best anymore.

Great food, great service. A little noisy

Too noisy, and were seated upstairs, which was difficult for me. It food and service were very good.

Everything was fine. The food, the service the atmosphere.

Too loud to hear each other!

Our food was more delicious than usual and service was great. Our server Belli (sp?) was fantastic! The pizza and gnocchi specials were really great

Have been to Mia several times, their dishes are wonderful, their staff is always friendly and attentive, I always have a wonderful time there !!!!

Great food and service! We always enjoy going to Mia Francesca!

Table at the top of the stairs with a cold breeze next to the bathroom, very slow service with no attention. All in all a bad experience

Still the same top notch food, beverage, and services after all these years! My friend who is new to Chicago is very pleased with my choice to take her there.

Exceptional food and service. Best meal I have ever eaten!!!

Crazy amount of noise, super packed jammed in tables and poor service. The food was good but it was ruined by all these things.

Everything was as expected. Service a bit slow and inattentive. Had to ask 3 separate time for a refill of ice tea.

The staff very kindly accommodated ann extra guest, and the service and ambience were outstanding.

Service outstanding as usual. The appetizer carpaccio, as always one of the best. Our two main dishes were very disappointing, though. Both were completely over salted. Been here many times, and never had a poor meal before.

We had a reservation and were sat immediately. The service was prompt and attentive and the food was very good!

Busy night but you wouldn't think so with the very efficient service.food was delicious and overall a pleasant experience.would definitely come back

Waited over an hour for our food and it was cold when it did arrive. Many parties were seated and gone while we waited. Overall disappointed.

We love this restaurant and every time we visit Chicago, we eat here, sometimes multiple times! Love the food, the service and the ambiance!

We love Mia Francesca for date night. The food is amazing!

They had an amazing limited time wine and food was fantastic as usual. They knew to provide a gluten free menu and I didn’t even have to ask - we love this place!!

Great spot for any occasion! It can be a bit noisy, but that's because the food is excellent!

The food was good. It was exceedingly noisy. The bar area along with the conversation from the patrons made it very hard to hear one another. Also, the restaurant had background music playing that only added to the raised noise level.

Very friendly staff and high quality food. It was loud but not overbearing. Many patrons were recognized by the staff and it seemed like many people had been there many times. I would definitely go back for another date night.

Normally pretty good but it seems like a get em in and get em out restaurant now. Service was poor at best and food was nothing more than average. Very disappointed and will look elsewhere when downtown next time.
