Francesco's Restaurant and Pizzeria

Actually the worst pizza I’ve ever had in my entire life. Cafeteria pizza was better at public middle school. I’m not sure why I’m biting into a whole grain prebought crust that’s thicker than my palm. This is NOT pizza. And the sauce is awful too. Does not taste fresh. Must be from a bottle or something.. WHY in the WORLD am I eating whole grain pizza right now. This is pizza that I would expect to be served in North Carolina or West Virginia. Not NEW YORK.

We attended a celebration of life for a family member and the dinner was served family style. The staff were absolutely amazing and the food was excellent. The egg plant parm was the best I've ever had. My sister must eat gluten free and the restaurant had multiple GF options and her plate was as great as ours!

Made a reservation for 8. Arrived at 801. Was told it would be 10 minutes. We left at 820. I'm sure food is good. Just show up. They obviously don't worry about reservations. I'm sure they would have seated a couple at 759 if they walked in.

I do not like to write negative reviews however, our dining experience here was not good and this was the second time. We ordered the goat cheese, and beet salad. The cheese was sliced so thick and put on a tomatoe slice with a beet on top, no dressing. I’ve had this salad in many restaurants and what I was served was horrible at Francesco’s. I ordered the pizziate it was burnt. My Mom ordered shrimp scampi and could not eat it because it looked uncooked. The waitress was very nice but the service was incredibly slow. The atmosphere is ok but they cater heavily to the bar patrons. I know many ppl love this restaurant but I just did not. They did take my Moms dinner off the bill which was also very nice.

Six guests ordered raw, stuffed clams, mussels marinara, fried calamari with Thai spicy sauce and marinara on the side and eggplant rollatini - appetizers. Very generous portions and all cooked to perfection, flavors, quality, fresh. Chicken parm, pasta fagioli, shrimp parm, grilled chicken with grilled veggies and pasta with garlic, oil and fresh broccoli. Same amazing quality. The server and busboy were on point and friendly. Desserts were fresh and delicious. Mom was in a wheelchair and the bathroom was accessible with railings, A+. Highly recommended, thanks for a great time. We’ll be back!
