Francoli Gourmet is really a place offer you gourmet Italian food. Upon they serve the Caprese by stacking up the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella, I knew Francoli is something special. Caprese was fantastic, except olive oil and balsamic sauce, they put a but of salt and sugar to bring up the taste, plus lots of olives. Also ordered their Today's Special, Beet Salad, thin sliced beets with pine nuts and sprinkles of olive oil and sauce, one of the best salad dishes I've ever had. For main course, I ordered pesto seafood spaghetti, good, but comparing to the 2 salad I had, the spaghetti is kind of normal, while I was expecting more on the chemistry between the essentials of pesto green sauce and shrimps/clams.
My wife and I enjoyed another incredible lunch at Francoli Gourmet, and once again they exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and taken care of by Pablo, whose friendliness and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. His team was just as attentive and kind, creating a genuinely inviting atmosphere. We started with the calamari appetizer, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For our entrées, we ordered the cioppino and the chicken medallions—both were absolutely outstanding. Every dish was prepared with exceptional care and rich, delicious flavors. Pablo also provided excellent wine recommendations. Thanks to his guidance, we enjoyed a fantastic red wine that paired beautifully with our meal. We highly recommend Francoli Gourmet for anyone looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a warm, welcoming dining experience. We will definitely be returning!
Lovely restaurant with delicious Italian cuisine. Everything was just rightly cooked and fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back here. There looked to be quite a wine selection though we didn’t partake.
I was walking around the Circle of Orange with a friend and we were hungry. We were wondering on what to eat and then we saw Francoli Gourmet. The atmosphere there is captivating, there was no wait, we were seated immediately and staff were super friendly and welcoming. It made me feel like I am back in Europe with the great aesthetic and food. It may seem pricy but for the quality you are getting it is worth every cent! It is also a really romantic place if you want to go on a date with somebody. The service also was professional. Everything about Francoli was perfect to me. I am considering going back again, it is such a vibe and it was so worth it! I would strongly recommend it to anybody who wants a pleasant peaceful evening with some Italian food and great service. (Best Italian Food I’ve eaten in the US by far!)
The bread, calamari, and tiramisu were good. Our main dishes, filet medallions and shrimp penne, were not cooked well. The medallions were overly salty and the shrimp was overcooked. Waiter was more interested in chitchatting and watching women walk by than with our service.
