Francesco's — Restaurant in San Juan

quite like their risotto al funghi the most! for 4 pax, these are what we ordered:

• francesco’s chopped salad — it’s ok. initially wanted the mesclun, but currently unavailable. • carbonara — they offer this 2 ways: original or creamy. would want to know for next time if i visit the taste of creamy, so i could compare or gauge which one i prefer. but so far in getting the original, it tastes a bit bland. it would do with maybe more cheese or salting the pasta boil better (?) • risotto al funghi — this i enjoyed the most! presented well, flavorful in a subtle and not overwhelming way. it tasted just right and balanced. • peach & prosciutto — tbh this wasn’t what was recommended to us when we asked about best sellers, but my mom was intrigued. the peaches looked a bit roasted, but would’ve wanted a bit of char here just to justify the presentation. this was just okay.

overall, okay dining experience. they give out also good and refillable complimentary bread with balsamic dip. can also ask for butter if you prefer that.

moderate noise from ambiance, but bearable. i imagine it could get a bit overwhelming, though, as they do have lots of reservations. also speaking of getting a schedule, would be better to get a reservation because usually walk-ins are seated in the cafe mabini side.

would still go back for creamy carbonara, maybe polipo, their take on panna cotta, and other menu items. not a bad option for italian eats around the...

We’ve visited Francesco’s several times now, and each experience has been nothing short of outstanding. On multiple occasions, we’ve brought along friends and family, and every time, they’ve been absolutely blown away by the incredible culinary offerings at this restaurant. In fact, what’s truly remarkable is that some of our friends and relatives who have traveled to Italy were so impressed with the food at Francesco’s that they actually preferred it over the meals they had during their trips to Italy! That says a lot about the quality and authenticity of the food here.

I’ve been meaning to write this Google review for a while now, but I’ve just never gotten around to it—until now. The food is consistently exceptional, and it’s clear that Francesco’s takes pride in delivering an authentic Italian dining experience. The staff deserves a special mention as well. The servers are always warm, professional, and courteous, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes each visit feel special.

What’s also worth noting is how consistently busy Francesco’s is. Every time we’ve been, it’s been packed, and that speaks volumes about the restaurant’s popularity and reputation. It’s a clear sign that Francesco’s truly offers some of the best Italian food in the Metro. If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend it—you won’t be...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I began my meal with a delicious Parma Pizza. The pizza was topped with a generous amount of mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and fresh arugula, and the crust was perfectly thin and crispy. It was truly one of the best pizzas I have ever had.

For my main course, I had the Salciccia di Penne dish. It was a flavorful combination of sausage, mushrooms, and penne in a creamy tomato sauce. The sausage was wonderfully spiced and the mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor. The portion size was generous, and I was very satisfied with my meal. My only comment is that it was too creamy for my taste.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Francesco’s. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great...
