    The dining room area decor with lighting and piano music ( Sat night- not sure what nights they have it) makes for a relaxing evening . The food is always good and you are greeted with friendly hosts when you arrive. Bennys area for dining is a brighter more casual atmosphere that we have also enjoyed

    The filet is one of the best around. Even butterflied so it’s cooked well which is my preference, it was still tender. The wine sauce was excellent.

    There isn’t anything else that comes close in Rockford. Everything they make is such a treat. Best espresso outside of Italy.

    Had dinner with a large party on Christmas Eve and Franchesco's "knocked it out of the park" on a very busy evening. We had a great time!

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a 3 other couples and had an amazing experience. From the start to finish everything was absolutely perfect! Special thanks to the owners and staff for taking such great care of us! They really went above and beyond! I can’t recommend this place enough, we are already planning our next visit.
