  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service, and fair prices.

Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant. In the summer, al fresco dining is also available on a charming cobblestone terrace.

    Our waiter, Jeff, was FANTASTIC. Definitely would ask to sit at his table, again. And the Manager, Paisley, was so kind and welcoming. Loved the entire experience.

    The food was wonderful. From the beets with a walnut and creme fraiche to the like butter cod. The service was excellent from beginning to end. Great value for a more upscale restaurant. I never got to dessert. Maye next time as I certainly would come back. I highly recommend Mia Franchesca.

    Unfortunately my dinner was not good. I ordered chicken limon and it was so salty I couldn’t eat it. I always order it at Northbrook restaurant and never had this problem. My salad was good. Definitely was loud in there but I was able to hold a conversation for 2 people

    Parking in the garage was a nightmare…our pasta was mediocre (I’ve had WAY better elsewhere)…our waiter was not attentive - wine glasses sat empty for 10 minutes…we had to ask for pepper and Parmesan cheese for our bland pasta…waiter returned 10 minutes after he left the dessert menu, and we were ready to go! We will not be going back.

    My family has been missing Francisca's since Francesca's on Bryn Mawr closed, so we were thrilled when Mia Francesca Lincolnwood opened. The food is delicious with many old favorites on the menu: wonderful lentils w/spinach, pasta with eggplant and spicy sauce, asparagus salad, profiteroles w/gelato. Who could ask for more? Service was really impeccable the night we were there. We will be back.
