Complimentary bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar.
Ashley S.

I came here on a whim. My daughter had a class in the area and I wanted to grab a healthy meal. The bread is complimentary. It's yummy, but if I come back I might ask you to warm it up for me. The Cesar salad was perfection. The Chicken Picatta was delicious. Tender chicken with amazing flavor. The zucchini was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes took me by surprise! So much flavor. This meal hit the spot. Perfect size. Not too heavy. It tasted so fresh and wholesome. The service was really great too. I saw my server working hard and managing all the tables. He remained calm and friendly even when a little overwhelmed. Thank you! (Parking is available on the street or behind the building.)

Spaghetti Carbonara

The spaghetti carbonara is delicious! That's the only thing I've ever gotten from here because it's the best I've ever had. Fast service and a good ambiance.

Was in search of an Italian restaurant who could host a party of teenage girls for a sweet 16th birthday and I came across Francesco Ristorante. For planning purposes I met with the owner in advance to make reservations for the large party. He was extremely gracious and offered a family style dinner menu that would would be tailored to our liking. The dinner party was a great success. The ambience was lovely and made the birthday girl feel like a true princess. Food was authentic and delicious. The casual Italian being spoken while serving our delicious meal was an added sprinkle to a wonderful evening. I can't thank the owner and staff of Francesco enough for such a lovely dinner and experience. We will return and enjoy a small family dinner soon.

Wow. The best Italian food I have ever had. The service was absolutely perfect. We ended up here by accident and are very thankful our usual date night spot was closed. This has replaced it. Didn't take a picture of the Caesar salad because it was gone too fast but it was better than the best I have ever had previously. Pasta was better than expected. I've never written a review mid meal but this warranted it. Dessert was also fantastic and the Tiramisu is made fresh daily. Thank you we are excited to come back!

One of our favorite places to stop when we're up on the Pass. We originally found it for a very…read morespecific reason--they don't use rosemary in their food, which is huge for me since I'm very allergic. Because of that alone, I instantly felt like I could trust them... and now I absolutely love this place. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and even though it's a small space, they do an amazing job with everything. I'm obsessed with the manicotti--I can easily eat the whole thing, which is not typical for me at all. It's that good. My guy's dish was generous too, but a bit heavy on the oil for his taste, so he didn't finish it. Still, definitely worth the stop. The wine, the manicotti, and the cozy vibe make it a perfect little Italian escape every time.

i'm pretty conflicted on how to review this to get it…read morestarted, the starter bread was pretty cold, although the garlic butter spread was fantastic i ordered the baked three cheese gnocchi, but asked to have the prawns removed when this dish came, you could tell it had been freshly baked in a huge bowl however, when i took my first bite - it was basically nothing but cheese throughout each spoonful thereafter yielded the same - there was nothing but pure cheese throughout, and while i like cheese, this was just way too much i wasn't a fan of the gnocchi itself either i got through about 1/3 of this dish before i decided it was enough, and didn't ask to have the rest boxed up or anything i guess i'm not sure what i expected - removing the prawns from the dish would come with a ton of cheese, and the cheese is made clear in the description, but i expected less cheese overall or at least a bit of something different this normally would be a pretty negative review, but the reason i'm still positive overall is the other food was quite good the other people at my table ordered a margherita pizza and the fusilli primavera - and after giving up on my dish, i tried their food the pizza was excellent - i especially (ironically) loved the solid layer of cheese that was a perfectly warm temperature. It wasn't too thin either I (and the others) also really enjoyed the fusilli primavera - the pasta was really nice and soft, and the vegetables were cooked well. there was a nice amount of oil that coated everything to impart good flavor i also ordered the cannoli as a dessert this was interesting - the outer shell was really hard and crunchy - which was nice, and the inner filling wasn't as sweet as you'd expect from a dessert - as it was more cheesy - but i still thought it was decent the fruits tasted strange for some reason, though lastly, i do think the portion sizes were pretty impressive for the price. this was most apparent when it came to the pizza, but the pasta, desserts, and even my gnocchi were all quite large - and each all under 20 dollars i will give this restaurant props for removing 9 dollars off the price of my gnocchi after i asked to have the prawns removed - it's something that a lot of places wouldn't do - and that was nice to see

Really poor experience tonight. Our server had no finesse-- for the price of this restaurant I…read moreexpect good service not just in terms of friendliness but in execution. She poured the small rest of my wine into a new glass rather than bringing a refill or leaving me my other glass to finish; very uncouth. The bread "appetizer" was bland and dry; not sure why you wouldn't provide bread with olive oil/balsamic vinegar to dip rather than just the slightest drizzle on a toasted crostini. The bruschetta trio was unshareable: 3 types of bruschetta but they expect you to cut them yourself if you intend for both people to get to try each type in the trio. My gnocchi was gummy and stuck to my mouth and the pancetta was either the smallest piece of pancetta you've ever seen or the fattiest piece of pancetta you've ever seen; not worth $32. Unpleasant experience and we won't be back.

Dined here this last weekend on the recommendation from a friend. I love good Italian food and this…read moreplace lived up to the hype. Located in downtown Issaquah. It was a short drive from Maple Valley. Easy to find parking nearby. We were early for our reservation, but they warmly welcomed us and seated us right away. Very intimate dining room with seating for around 35 people max. Nice red cloth table cloths. Our waiter was Luis. He has been working for this Restaurant for eight years now he shared and did an outstanding job. He recommended antipasti starter platter that was delicious. Are entrées were perfectly prepared. Fresh vegetables, and seafood in both dishes. Our server constantly monitored our table for water, glass refills, and removed any empty plates we had. He suggested several things to cap off the evening and we ended up getting the tiramisu. Absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend this if you're looking for great authentic Italian cuisine in the Maple Valley/Issaquah area.

Food: Generous portions…read more Appetizer: Grilled Prawns and Scallops in a "secret" sauce: Delicious, tender and buttery Pesto Halibut w/ Risotto (special): very succulent and lemony! Risotto was cooked to perfection! Short Rib Ravioli (not pictured): I didn't have it but the review was..." it was bomb as hell". Dessert: Limoncello Gelato: so delicious Service: Cheerful, Efficient, and Polite Ambiance: intimate and cozy Highly recommend coming here! Not an ideal spot for large groups, however, great for a table for 2-4. There is a 2 hour time slot till the next reservations come in.
