We did not have a reservation, but we were early and seated right away. We were seated at a table where the sun was shining right in the window and we had to sweat through dinner. But, who really wants to complain about the sun when we live in a place where winter seems to last too long. The drink that I ordered was a frozen drink except that it did not come frozen. They really should have said that it wasn't ready to be served or noticed that it was off. It came with a comically short straw that kept falling into the drink. After about a quarter of the drink, I could no longer suffer through the gel like chunks ofthe piña colada mixture and did not finish it. The bread, dipping oil, salads, and our server were the positives of the evening. My husband ordered the lasagna. It did not seem fresh. It was dried out, not very much cheese and just lots of chunks of meatballs. He also didn't care for the red sauce. It had a lot of tomato flavor, but not much else. It was also extremely thick. I ordered the lobster ravioli. The Alfredo sauce there is nice. There wasn't a ton of flavor to the lobster ravioli and I think I would've liked it. more had it been more clump type of lobster rather than what seemed like an already macerated lobster. Textually it was just off for me, but the ravioli noodle itself was also good.

We love A Fransico's and I've given it a 5 star review on Google. We went here on Saturday…read morespecifically for Virgil's pizza. They had Gary, the owner of Virgil's, making his pizza and I was very much looking forward to having it again. He had my favorite pizza and I missed having it. So when I heard he was making his pizza again, I booked a reservation. Now, for the record, A. Francisco's is my new favorite pizza, Colin is a pizza genius. But I missed Virgil's, so I ordered my go to pepperoni pizza. I was pretty disappointed. As soon as they put the pizza down, I knew it was different. It didn't look like I knew Virgils to look like. The crust was different. The pepperoni was different... it wasn't Virgil's. I've eaten hundreds of squares. I would get 6 squares and eat them for lunch and want more...this time I ate two... just to be polite. The biggest difference was the dough. It didn't look like Virgil's and it didn't taste close to what Virgil's tasted like. My wife had the house made spaghetti with shrimp and it was very good. The buratta balls were excellent. Those were from A. Francisco's menu and we always have excellent food from here. But for someone who loved Virgil's, this was NOT the Virgil's that I remember and loved. I don't know what happened to his dough, but tonight I'm going to A. Francisco's for my new favorite pizza made by Colin. I'm not a fan of their pepperoni, so I go sausage and arugula. If they ever get the old world pepperoni that curls up, I'll go back to my go to.

My husband and I had a perfectly pleasant experience at A. Francisco's…read more We ordered the burrata bites to start. Crispy on the outside with perfectly melted, gooey cheese inside, and served with a marinara that was flavorful without being overly sweet. For our entrees we tried the OG (added sausage) and the prosciutto e arugula (added mushrooms). Both were delicious, featuring a well-balanced, crispy oven-baked crust that wasn't overly crunchy, elevated by parmesan, red pepper flakes, and a touch of sea salt. I also had an Aperol spritz to drink which was refreshing and perfect. Our server was quick and kind, and the vibe was modern and moody. We definitely see ourselves returning.

There wasn't a lot of chicken or anything else in it - it was mostly a semi-thick broth surrounded by lots of tortilla chips. My husband ordered the Reuben and was so so disappointed.

Cole slaw also tasted like bland cabbage. :(( Not sure we would return.

We've been here before for the Mother's Day buffet but hadn't ordered off the menu before. I have to say that the meal was totally unremarkable. I had a hard time justifying the expense when we got the bill. I had the Shrimp and Risotto was totally nonplused by the serving size and over all taste. The Few Shrimp that were the star of the meal were so tough that they ruined the meal. I'm assuming they were over cooked as they were not just tough but bland as well.The Risotto was very bland as well, so stroke two! Bertrand served way better before at his Perry Square location. The best part of our Cloud 9 meals were the easy ramp parking. I remembered taking a Nexium when we got home so that my stomach would stop being upset. Never again!
