Service was so prompt and nice, and being able to order straight from your phone and pay/being able to walk away easily after was super convenient. I got the Meatball Riggie Turn Down (side) since I wasn't super hungry after traveling, and I definitely recommend this as a lunch portion - the side size was really filling and still pretty big. The meatball was incredible (and large) and the sauce of this pasta, while it had a little heat to it, was well seasoned and smooth. Great chill place with an awesome playlist of oldies music and the opportunity for indoor and outdoor scenic views.

A group of 12 of us came to Francesca's last night. We started outside in the beautiful patio area,…read moreand had to move inside near the end of the dinner due to rain. Moving inside was easy as they had a great table already set up in case of rain. I got the seafood risotto special. Because it was a special, the prices were not attached. If I knew it would've cost $42, I may have paused and not spent the money on it. However, I am glad I did not know the price and ended up getting it because it was the best dinner I have had in about a year. The fish was perfectly seasoned and complemented the risotto so well. The strawberries on it seemed like an odd choice, but the flavor combination was outrageous. It was extremely delicious. I got a summer risotto dish from Francesca's last year as well, it was also excellent. They do their flavor combinations so well. Overall, our group was extremely happy with our choices. The service was impeccable. I wish I remembered our server's name. He was engaging, patient, and had a great personality.

We decided to share everything we ordered - risotto balls, fried mozzarella, wedge salad, chicken cutlets and pasta and it was fun! We also had drinks - dirty martini, espresso martini, and shots of tequilaaa! Everything was yummy and it's super cute and fun inside! We loved the red lights and movies playing on the walls. There's not too much seating but we didn't have to wait for a table and they do have an outdoor patio. John the owner is amazing!! We walked out and forgot our leftover box on the table and he ran them down the street to give to us! My friend also dropped her retainer and we didn't realize until after, once we got back to the restaurant he had it wrapped in a napkin for her! He is so kind and caring and has an awesome restaurant!

While staying in Downtown Syracuse I looked for some good Italian in the area and this place came…read moreup with excellent reviews. I checked OpenTable for 6:30PM on a Wednesday night and it said there was nothing within 3-1/2 hours. I found this very odd and since I was on my own, I ventured on down anyway to see if I could score a spot at the bar, which I easily did because they were only 1/4 full and the bar only had 3 other people at it when I arrived. I believe the bartender's name was Justin and he was great... very friendly and helpful, as well as engaging. He constantly checked on me and discussed the menu and restaurant, as well as their offerings. I chose their All 'Amatriciana with their slightly breaded chicken breast on top. The chicken was so very good! The All 'Amatriciana itself was so bland. I was disappointed in how bland it was. There was no spice at all to it, so I asked for their crushed red pepper and ended up putting several spoonfuls on it - turns out their crushed red peppers are either old or stale, but they're definitely bland and useless, as they didn't add any spike to the flavor of this dish and if the chef used these to season this dish while making it, that would explain some of what it was so bland. I will say that their table bread was outstanding! It came with their whipped butter, seasoned with honey and parmesan and that combo was so good! Too bad I didn't order something else, like pizza, as this is what I initially saw in reviews that looked amazing. I'm sure they normally are great here, I just came on an off night.

The food was delicious, and so much to choose from! We had the Arancini balls to start, and they were delicious. We both tried the soups, and I adored the micro grilled cheese that topped the tomato bisque - SUCH a cute garnish! We recommend you get your steak "Jimmy style" because WOW, there is soooo much flavor! The shrimp scampi was also excellent. The large portions gave us some good leftovers. We had to finish with cannolis to-go, and we were so happy we did. Our server was very attentive, even as the place was filling up on a holiday evening! We can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.

When we left, we said, "That was weird."…read more We booked a reservation for a graduation dinner where we were sat upstairs alone for a while. At the beginning, service was prompt. Our apps of meatballs and calamari were good but when we got our red wine, it was freezing. Then we were waiting for at least a half an hour for our food. My sister was starting to worry about getting to her graduation despite us booking 2 hours ahead of her ceremony. When we received our food, all meals came except mine which was about 10 mins after everyone else. The best meals were the Chicken Riggies & Chicken Milanese. The Chicken Piccata was very heavy of Dijon and the Chicken Marsala tasted like Chicken Teriyaki; needless to say, neither dish tasted like its traditional description. Lastly, the Clam Provencal was void of flavor. Half of our party left as soon as I got my food and we paid the check so we weren't late to the ceremony, but then the rest of our party was asked to leave for another group. Sadly, it was different than what we were hoping for.
