    First time sitting outside. Great as always. Mussels for appetizer. Bolognese was great. Think Daisy was our server who was great as well.

    Always can count on Francesco’s! Lobster ravioli and chicken Parmesan entrees, coconut shrimp appetizer and a cannoli for dessert. Great family owned venue. Benny always stops to say hello. Best restaurant for a nite out in Rockford.

    It was a very enjoyable experience. The only downside I'd say was we didn't see our waitress for a long while after food was served Actually didn't see any waiters or waitresses at any tables after we got served for quite a while. No one came to see if we needed anything during dinner But the food was excellent and the waitress was very courteous and nice when we did see her

    Disappointed the food wasn’t better. Overall large restaurant. Seems perfect for groups unlike so many others. We had Prime Rib- good, Lasagna- meh. Similar to anything mediocre. Rigatoni Bolognese tasted like canned pasta. Lobster ravioli was good. Not a ton of flavor but not bad. Seen several tables offered bread, we weren’t 🤷‍♀️ Offered fresh Parmesan- had to remind waiter we said yes and then brought us a shaker..? Salt shaker on table was empty, got a new one that was mixed with pepper. Bathrooms were dirty. Just overall very underwhelming and pricey.

    We were celebrating our engagement, and the ambiance, service, food and drinks were outstanding! We will definitely go back next year when we are traveling back from Florida!!

    My wife and I went there for our 25th anniversary. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. I had the seafood risotto, and the wife had the Benny's steak. Very satisfied. The server made the experience very nice for us and also surprised us with dessert even though we were so full of the main meal. So thoughtful. Highly recommend. My favorite place in Rockford to eat by far.
