Casa Di Francesca's — Restaurant in Buffalo

Went for dinner with my girlfriend using the Groupon special they have currently and it’s totally worth it! I can’t emphasize enough how much you should get that deal to try a variety of things on the menu.

The Groupon deal covered one appetizer to share, two salads, two entrées (with some restrictions), and two desserts. for the appetizer, we got the stuffed peppers which were so good. Inside the peppers with cheese, as well as sausage. I had the Caprese salad while my partner chose the Caesar. Both were a good size and well assembled. As a sidenote, there was a mini salad that came with the stuffed peppers that they don’t apparently serve as a main salad dish and it was so good! You should order the stuffed peppers just to get that salad lol.

While working on the salad and appetizer, we also received bread at the table and it came with oil and garlic. Also as a palate cleanser before the main entrée, they brought us a sorbet served in the lemon that was so good it literally shifted my whole mindset before I ate the main course. All I could think about, for the rest of the meal was how good that sorbet was.

For the main entrée, I got the Eggplant Fra Diablo, which was a award winner for best comfort food at a local festival recently. It was essentially eggplant Parmesan with stuffed peppers as part of the meal. It was very flavorful and despite not having meat has the primary protein, I really enjoyed it.

To finish things off for dessert. I got the peanut butter cream pie, which was not what I was expecting but it was very yummy, nonetheless. PS, they have the sorbet as a dessert but since I had the chance to try it earlier, I opted to try a different dessert to end the night.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience in our server. Elizabeth was fantastic! 10 out of 10 Would recommend and will definitely...

Went to Francesca's on a Friday, Oct.3, 2014 for the first time with a friend. We arrived around 4:00 pm. there were only a few people at the bar and no other customers. We were seated promptly by a very nice young man who was our waiter. We ordered wine. He proceeded to open the bottle and the cork screw broke and he cut himself. He excused himself and came back with the bottle opened. We ordered a fish fry, which is not on the menu but is offered as a BOGO if it is a takeout for $14.00. We were told that it was $14.00 each if we ordered it as our entree within the restaurant. It came with french fries and coleslaw. We could substitute macaroni salad for coleslaw. My friend asked if she could get a small salad or vegetable instead. The response was no, but with a little pleading the waiter said he would give her some salad. We then waited approximately 45 minutes before the food came. We asked if bread was included with the meal. Again our waiter didn't know and proceeded to the kitchen. Five minutes later, our food arrived minus the bread. The fish itself was good but the fries and macaroni salad were mediocre at best. When we were done, we decided not to get dessert or coffee. The bill came and my friend said" this doesn't look right". They charged us $18.00 each for the fish fry. To our dismay, we just paid the bill and left. When we left, there still were no customers in the restaurant and it was close to 6:00 pm. I just think it is a disgrace to charge that much for a fish fry when you don't even get a salad or bread with your meal especially for $18.00. Unfortunately I will not be going back there. Service was slow, staff was not well informed and prices too high for what you get served on your plate. We should have just ordered the fish to go and ate it at home. Francesca's needs...
