Francesco's is THE best Italian around, hands down. They are the only Italian restaurant who can make my favorite dish and have it taste amazing, the right consistancy of all the ingredients. Even the salads for lunch are the best, and the bread?! Fresh and delicious daily. Nicest, most attentive and professional staff around. And the owners are awesome. Francesco... More

After one of the restaurants at Colonial Williamsburg the previous evening, wife and I were not really up for another dining extravaganza. We wanted just a quiet dinner with a glass of wine and we found it at Francesco's. Yes, it's quite a way outside Williamsburg proper (definitely could not find it without a GPS) and yes, it's located in... More

First time visit - won't be the last. Best meal to date in Williamsburg. We've been here 3 weeks vacationing. Spaghetti carbonara was creamy and cooked perfectly. Lobster and crab ravioli was excellent. Wait staff genuine and accommodating. Chef Francesco came to the table to see if we were happy with our selections. Portion size very generous. Reasonable prices. House... More

Dear Chef Francesco & Staff, Thank you so much for the best Italian meal we've every eaten, and the warmest, most attentive staff as well. Throughly enjoyed our Veal Picata and lobster stuffed ravioli with pink alfredo sauce -- both cooked to order, piping hot and mouth watering! The Italian bread melted in your mouth as well. Great Job! We... More

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't write this review sooner. However, we liked it so much that I had actually made notes on their business card. We love to eat at small, locally owned restaurants and try different things, so we really appreciated the wonderful advice we got for food and wine. Instead of the standard 'well everything is good... More

I looked up restaurants in the Williamsburg area and we decided on this one based on the reviews, type of food and price according to menu listed on trip advisor. (The menu seems to be wrong based on what we paid tonight. $73 for 3 adults) we got an appetizer, three drinks and three meals. The service was excellent. This... More

This was our first visit to Francesco's based on a recommendation by a local shop owner. It's a fairly small restaurant in a strip mall but has great food and service. It's a bit cramped inside - tables are kind of close together but it has a cozy feeling. We found the prices to be a bit high (we paid... More

We've always considered Francesco's to have the best Italian food in the Williamburg area and we still do. However, after a recent visit we came away just a bit disappointed and it started with the multi-paged - with pictures of food and people - menu which was way too big and very unappealing. We realize this is a family restaurant... More

Used to love this restaurant but a little disappointed this time around. Our favorite appetizer is no longer is made w kalamata olives, but black soggy ones. When we asked the waiter he said it was due to people picking them out. But if people read the menu and see the other bruchetta which doesn't have olives why would they... More
