We were very disappointed with our experience. Although the room is lovely it is very noisy. The service was excellent. But our food was not at all good. The cocoanut shrimp were overdone with very little cocoanut. My seabass was dry and tasteless except for pepper even with lemon sprinkled on generously and my husband did not like the sauce on his veal. I should say the portion of fish was small and the meal was very expensive. Sorry but we will not be returning.

Fabulous dinner celebrating a birthday. The food was great, a bit of something for everyone even the vegan and pescatarian. 2 had the portobello mushroom dish, 1 had veal, and one had the gnocchi.

It’s always delicious, fun and loud downstairs at Francobollo. My chicken was cooked to perfection and so tasty. The garbage salad is always a hit. Maya is the best server.

Being here many times, always a amazing time. I celebrate a couple of birthdays. Yesterday was a bit different. I had my usual tiramisu dessert. We get up for a second to go to the bathroom when we come back the dessert was gone. It was late time to go home at the time obviously everybody wants to go home tired from my long day at work. I understand that it took a long time for them to come to our table. They offered to bring me a new dessert, but this time after all that waiting , of course I don’t want it. I just wanna go home. I explained that and I also explained that the dessert was taken away when I went to the bathroom and I barely touch it end of the story they end up, charging me for it, and I thought it was unethical especially a expensive place like this , but anyways, I had an amazing time. Food was delicious. Waitress was really sweet. I will go back but next time I will make sure I don’t go to the bathroom. lol

So bad ! The upstairs was described as a quiet oasis . It was 80 degrees and so loud !!! My food was so salty - my friend really liked his fish . He was supposed to be taking me out for my birthday but it was so bad that I just paid since I recommended the place
