Francesco's Ristorante Italiano

"I found this place by chance and I’m beyond happy that I did. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and gorgeous, the staff is friendly. I love it here."

"Wait staff is untrained. Very basic. It’s so cute in here. This could be amazing Waited 7 minutes to get water at table. Ordered mineral water with lemon which was left with cap on at the table. Salad came out 1 minute before food. No time to eat salad Bread plate placed out of reach. Took 22 minutes after entree was served to ask if everything was good with my meal. No refill offered and my glass sat empty. Ordered a to go box for my salad and it was literally placed in my carbonara. Wanted to order wine with meal but never got a chance to add to order. Carbonara had an obnoxious amount of bacon bits and not enough sauce. No olive oil at table. Could have been so much better with trained staff. While still eating entree was asked if I wanted desert. There was only two tables. What is the rush?? Really UNTRAINED server. But I always leave a tip and hopefully they will polish the server skills in the future. Food is a solid 4 out of 10. But I travel to Italy and dine in larger cities. However, the atmosphere is so quaint and romantic. It’s a perfect first date or quiet romantic evening spot. Only 12 tables with pretty table cloths and relaxing music. The walls are in a fresco and give off a relaxing Tuscany vibe. Tiny cubbies in the walls display beautiful wines from the menu. It is clean and I love the decor!! A must see. Just cross your fingers they train up the staff."

"AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!! Mussel for appetizer with garlic bread; the sauce is sooo very good...the whole dish is excellent. Chef's choice dinner of Italian sausage, chicken, hearty bacon, peppers, garlic ,lemon, parsley with fresh made pappardelle pasta, excellent pillowy soft noodles cooked al dente, very good! Espresso, very rich and tasty. Limoncello cake, excellent finish. If you are in town, this is the best restaurant in Williamsburg."

"First off, our incredible server ENES provided five-star service that was outstanding! He was kind, knowledgable, and attentive. Furthermore, he made excellent suggestions. Even though the cuisine was excellent and exactly as described on Trip Advisor, ENES made the experience even better, so much so that we would ask for him to be our server the next time we make reservations. Definitely check out Francesco's Ristorante Italiano if you're in Williamsburg, Virginia!"

"Fabulous place! From start to finish, the service and food was excellent. Amy made sure to answer any questions we had about the menu and provided excellent service. The food was fresh, plentiful, and absolutely delicious. We would definitely go again if we are in the area again."
