I've been goin here for over 15yrs. Love the variety of their daily diff lunches &everything is always fresh, so fresh that people start buying around 10:30am. Love their pastas, but miss their mixed roasted veggies that they used to have. What I do love so much is their soup, especially any home-made cream soup they make such as cream of vegetable, crm of chicken corn chowder, seafood/clam chowder.. Also all the regular older staff are so accommodating &friendly. Fabio is very nice and not stuck up even though he's family/owner. His Brother too is very humble & hard-working. Angelo (their Papa) is one hard-working fine honest and good example to everyone. Their competition is Lamanna's which I don't find anything close to Francesca as Lamanna's Lasagne is huge however around 12 layers of noodles they use which isn't impressive as there is hardly any cheese or meat in between which I'd call cheating...and therefore it tastes very plain & bland lacking the true lasagne ingredients such as ricotta, mozzerella, ground beef, sauce w/ herbs. Also when you order a cake at Lamanna's, be prepared to get disappointed as they don't know how to make a chiffon spongy moist cake, there's is more of a heavy pound cake which was a waste. Francesca are more detailed-oriented and pay more attn to taste instead of volume whereas Lamanna's its only about volume and profit!
Keep up the Good Work Guys....Your regular Customer, Eliza
I absolutely love love this place the food is so delicious. The staff are very sweet my favourite is Maria Lopez she has such amazing energy about her very helpful and made my visit feeling very warm!
My cappuccino is so good the girl who made it is also very sweet.
Francesca's bakery made the cake for my son's wedding and it was fabulous! Very reasonably priced and Candice did an amazing job to make it beautiful! She was very patient and professional - even when I showed up on a Saturday at lunch time!
Also, the staff was fantastic. They were polite, helpful and super nice.
This was my first time dealing with Francesca's and I will definitely be using them in the future. I have just found my new go-to bakery!
Thank you so much Candice and all your team!
I have been obsessed with this place since I was gifted some of their marzipan for Christmas. I went last week just to see what they had and it was struggle not to buy it all. I ended getting cannoli and freshly baked bread. But when I go back, I'm definitely trying one of those Sicilia cakes and grabbing some marzipan.
The atmosphere here is also very quaint as they have some beautiful pictures of Sicily posted, the food is authentic, and the staff is pleasant.
I will warn that the pastries are pricey and the parking is limited. Definitely worth it though.
Came here for pastries on Saturday morning. It was busy but tables were still available.
Lots of selection for sweet toothers. We got a Pavlova and pistachio tart.
The pistachio tart for very green for how little it tasted like pistachios.
The Pavlova was veryyyy sweet. It had some lemon curd but not enough to cut the sweetness.
Staff was not exceptionally friendly but were not rude.
Give it a go but would not go out of my way to be here.
