  • 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.

    Everything was good, except my meal lacked some seasoning. It looked great but flavors were lacking. I had the pork chop.

    Great experience from the minute you walk in the door: Warm greetings from the hostess, excellent service from our server, Kevin, Rene, who works magic at the bar, & bus staff were so attentive. A very nice wine menu, delicious meal: definitely recommend the Roasted Beets, Rolli Alla Francesca; everything we had was wonderful. Perfect evening; keep doing what you are doing!

    This was our first time at this location. The food was pretty good but the service was not great. They seemed to ignore us. My husband had to go up to the bar to pay the bill because no one was coming by our table and we couldn’t flag anyone down. And when I went to the host stand to get our coats from the coat check no one was there and the server who came to take out coat ticket was a little nasty. We probably won’t be going back.

    This was our first time at this location and I thought food and service was excellent. Our waiter was great and everything we ordered was very good. Some of us had pasta and others chicken dishes and they all were very tasty. We will definitely be back.

    Everything was amazing however it was a birthday celebration and although we ordered a dessert a candle or acknowledgment would of been nice. Not recommended for a birthday but will definitely return for dinner. 1st visit at this location, overhead parking was a plus since it was snowing.
