    We sat for 6 minutes before getting water, then it took another 4 minutes for Heidi to come over and take our drink order. Our appetizer took 45 minutes to come out. Our food came rather quickly. The boy that gave me fresh Parmesan barely gave me anything, mumbled underneath his breathe and then ran away. I assumed he ran out and was coming back, no luck. I had to drink my husbands water because no one came around, then finally a manager walked by and we asked for more water. Service was very disappointing to say the least, and the noise level was unreal.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Dining Experience at Francesca’s in Frankfort We had an amazing dinner at Francesca’s in Frankfort! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and our waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the risotto with fresh mozzarella and sausage, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My wife ordered the chicken limone, which was perfectly cooked with a bright and tangy sauce. The kids enjoyed their chicken strips, and they were impressed by the quality—crispy on the outside and tender inside. The wine selection was excellent, and the drinks were well-made, rounding out an all-around fantastic meal. Francesca’s continues to deliver great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

    We were not disappointed with our latest dinner at Francesca’s in Frankfurt. Gluten free options for my wife were outstanding - especially flatbread which we had for the first time. Everything was very good from drinks, appetizers to our dinner. Service was perfect.

    Food is quite good and our servers have nearly always have been excellent. Restaurant has really done well with new managers who bring smiles to our table, and the annual discount gift cards are a welcome and fun reason we visit several of your eateries. While such discount cards help offset the costs of the dining visit (at least through March 31), it is very discouraging that prices keep rising, especially for simple entrees like chicken or pasta which are among our favorites.
