"It is always a special treat to dine at Francesca's Cucina. Last night my friend Anna and I had dinner at your wonderful restaurant before going to see a play at the Syracuse Stage. Michael is such a warm and friendly waiter - makes everyone feel welcome and special. He is a great ambassador for the Francesca's Cucina. The food, as always, was incredibly delicious. Your restaurant has such a warm and comfortable feel to it - very special. Thank you very much."

"I just wanted to write to tell you what a great time we had on the patio last weekend. The food was to die for as always, but the live music really made our evening so much fun! I hope you will be hosting more evenings like this in the near future. We will be back soon!"

Walking into Francesca's Cucina in downtown Syracuse is like walking into a restaurant set in a movie. With the dim lighting, crisp, off-white tablecloths, exposed brick walls and more bottles of vino than people, this 6-year-old treasure in Little Italy is the kind of place Billy Joel was singing about in "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant."

"Extraordinary is the only way to describe Francesca's Cucina. Whether it be an intimate dinner for the two of us, or a private party, the entire experience is top-notch. The numerous daily specials are a compliment to the already fabulous menu choices of generous proportion. As a frequent patron, I can honestly say, that from the attentive and friendly staff, to the cozy atmosphere and scrumptious menu, Francesca's is an unparalleled dining experience."

First let me just say that I love your restaurant. My fiance and I eat there regularly and have a terrific experience every time we come. One of the things that I love the most is your daily specials. You always have at least two items every time that puts a big smile on my face just to see you carry them.

I wanted to take a minute and tell you what a wonderful night we had! Your event far exceeded our expectations! We still are receiving compliments on the evening - all 22 guests were just so pleased! We thank you and look forward to many a night at Francesca's!

Thank you for the amazing meal you prepared for our 5th anniversary dinner. We could not have asked for a more romantic experience. The food was wonderful and we had a memorable evening.

You all worked so very hard and did a great job on my daughter Laney's wedding shower last Saturday. The food was wonderful and the service beyond compare.
