The food was good, the service was excellent. My only complaint: get new outdoor chairs! The ones you have are very uncomfortable!!!

I travel frequently to St. Charles throughout the year and this place is a favorite haunt of ours…read more The service is always exceptional, and we always feel incredibly taken care of. We were devastated when they took the focaccia starter off the menu, but we were able to request it special for a team dinner this week and it was as incredible as we remembered it. Bring back the focaccia to the full menu! I have a tomato allergy, and they are always very accommodating to make small changes so that I can enjoy my meal safely. Most recently, I had a spinach and pesto chicken pasta that was fantastic. I also enjoy the chicken from the Milanese, thinly cut and fried to absolute perfection. It can be loud in the front of the restaurant, and sometimes the hallway to the bathroom is oddly slippery, but they've always been incredibly accommodating for larger groups when we have them and the bar at the front is really beautiful.

First time trying, although I'm fairly certain I've been to Francesca's a million years ago in the…read moreold location. But date night was a success with Beef carpaccio and White Fish with a lil pistachio gelato to finish. Everything was so light and fresh. Absolutely delicious food and great service! The inside has great mood lighting and the decor was chill with a very eclectic theme, from the art hanging and the murals and even vespa installations. I definitely recommend checking them out if you're in the area or just looking for a new place with enjoyable Italian food. They also have a private dining area for large parties! And it didn't even derail my nutrition (on a GLP1) for the day win/win. (Also pictured: my BF had a seafood linguine and cinnamon roll bread pudding)

Our server was fantastic. We laughed afterward because we were a little nervous when she didn't write anything down, but she didn't miss a thing. Everything came out exactly as we ordered it. The pizzas were delicious, and a small is definitely plenty for one person. The meatball sliders were SO good -- the flavor was incredible. And the pepper spread? My husband was practically ready to lick the little ramekin clean! He wanted a simple salad rather than one of the specialty salads on the menu, and they were more than happy to customize one for him. Even the ranch dressing was fantastic. Great food, wonderful service, and such a good experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back!

It was fine except that there weren't other diners there until we were halfway thru so our server wasn't easy to get hold of. Inside has a couple of big TVs playing football so it's like an Italian pub meets sports bar feel. We shared a Chicken Parmigiana and Caesar Salad. Others in our group ordered the Blackened Salmon Risotto, the bacon-wrapped dates and the meatball sliders. Everything tasted pretty good. The Ceasar Salad was smaller than expected as we were hoping to share a couple of orders, and it had cherry tomatoes and shredded lettuce but was good nonetheless. The vodka pasta that came with the Chicken Parmigiana was a standout- the pasta had a good bite and the sauce was excellent. The salmon risotto was also outstanding. The bacon-wrapped dates was unexpectedly stuffed with sausage, so it was very tasty. We didn't have room for dessert as we were stuffed. We didn't have pizza this time but had it previously and it was good too.

Such a great ambiance. They sell many items inside: frozen ravioli/pierogis, gluten free pasta, cheese, instant noodles, baking mixes, pasta sauces, apparel, etc. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I appreciate how seriously they take food sensitivities (no outside food or drinks to prevent cross contamination) - not many places do this, so big props to them for really caring about their customers The food, oh man. We tried the star penne pasta with pesto, garlic bread, crispy sweet potato gnocchi with vodka sauce, braised beef ravioli with roasted aglia e olio sauce, Italian panini and chicken sandwich and everything was FIRE. Can't even tell it's gluten free honestly. The pastas were cooked perfectly, all the sauces delicious and well-seasoned. I definitely dream about the crispy sweet potato gnocchi and chicken sandwich lol. The homemade chips were so light and crispy. 10/10 food, atmosphere, service, everything. This is a great place for people with food sensitivities to safely eat, and those who just want a delicious meal overall. Definitely recommend!!!

Blackberry mojito was wonderful. Cotto bruschetta was delicious. Cajun chicken was ok, chicken was a little dry. Straw & hay was good. Limoncello was delicious, 3 of the four people in our party would order this next time. Tagliatelle Seafood was good too. It was loud once it got really busy and hard have a conversation but the food made up for it. Will definitely go back.

We were seated immediately but it took a while for our waitress (Lauren) to take our drink order. They have a nice selection of wines and beers. We all ordered off their Restaurant Week menu but when my wife mentioned she is Gluten Free ,she was told they could no substitutions because they were too busy. Basically the server had no suggestions. After we all placed our orders,we waited over an hour to get our appetizer and salad. The server kept saying the kitchen was backed up so she gave us a complimentary round of drinks. The appetizer and salad came on the same plate which was strange but the portions are definitely small probably because they were part of the Restaurant Week menu The wrapped shrimp were tasty and the wedge salad was your basic wedge salad. I asked for salt and pepper and again it took a while to get it and the pepper grinder did not work. My wife had the Risotto with shrimp and asparagus and tasted very bland. I had the Wrapped Filet which was small in size and cooked more medium than medium well as I requested . The desserts were the best... Tiramisu and Pistachio Gelato even tho they put cookies on top of the Gelato which have Gluten. The noise level is super loud and the servers and or kitchen seemed overwhelmed. I'm not sure I will go back .
