Francesca's

When I was little I thought my name should have been Francesca. Why? Good question, I have no idea.

Anyhow, there is a little restaurant called Francesca's here in Chicago. In fact, there are several. A few weeks ago I took my mother and my aunt to the Bryn Mawr Location and was very pleased. It is everything a family Italiano restaurant should be. The deco alone is a reason to visit, light and modern, but welcoming.

They start you out with fresh bread and olive oil to dip it in. Yum! I love simple ingredients! You can really enjoy the taste of each!

I ordered the Pollo Arrosto alla Romano, which was basically half a chicken roasted with garlic, shallots, rosemary, lemon and olive oil and served with roasted potatoes. It was so yummy. The chicken was moist and had a fantastically delicate balance of all the flavors. It was fantastic!














We followed it with pistachio ice cream. Yum!

I rolled myself out of that tasty little place! At a moderate price point($15- $25 per entree) I will be sure to visit again! I don't know a lot about Italian food, but I know that Francesca's has a great variety of very yummy Italian dishes.
