We had a party of seven and everyone loved what they had! They bring you bread and some tomatoes to make your own bruschetta (so yummy). Their cocktails were great and we had the beef carpaccio as an app and that was nice. I had the St. Germaine Martini which was so good and different, a little spicy! And then I had the fig ravioli which were amazing 🤩 I have to go back because there were other great things on the menu I need to try 💖 we went for my parents anniversary and brought our own cake and they were super nice about accommodating! You have to go and try for yourself

We were fans of the old Francesco and this latest version doesn't disappoint . We received a friendly welcome and the staff were excellent and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. The food was excellent, the octopus was one of the best I have tried and the ceviche was delicious as expected. All in all, a great experience. The new Francesco is even better than the original and is a welcome addition to "The Mile"
