Francesco's Osteria

Excellent food made with genuine love served in a restaurant which has character and warmth.

I can't believe we haven't been to this hidden jewel previously. Honestly I cannot fault our evening in any way. The service was exceptional, food, atmosphere, value, all 5 stars....we will be back! <3 <3 <3

Delicious food and awesomely friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended for a night out.

Amazing food and service as always, top quality dining experience.

Such a special night at a beautiful restaurant, great food and hospitality.

Great food and great service, nice atmosphere. We'll go back.

Always love the experience at Francescos, The atmospher is very warm and welcoming starting with the friendly and attentive staff members and which just adds to the warm decor in making you feel relaxed and welcome. Then there is the food which is just delicious.

Incredible fresh, authentic Italian food and great wine. Cosy feel.

Francesco is Venetian. His food is really beautiful. He has very high standards about his ingredients and he is a true creative in his food prep and presentation.

Great food, great service, great wine, love Francesco’s any time of the year!

Absolutely beautiful food, friendly staff, and a unique menu. It was a little cramped but it's a non-issue when everything else is so good.

Caught up with friends from many years ago and booked this restaurant for the vegan menu. Great tasty food and the arancinis were delicious. Great customer service too.

Just terrific!! Loved it all. We’ll be back. Thanks Francesco!!

Beautiful food, made with such care, as well as very friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Excellent, interesting, healthy food. Friendly, warm atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Amazing food, service with a smile, great vegan options. Will be back!

As always, gourmet food - a warm mix of traditional and innovative - served by friendly people.

Wonderful food, great location, & truely lovely staff- Would recommend

The mains and entree were fantastic as was the wine and the general ambiance.. Unfortunately the the chocolate soufflé we had for dessert tasted like it came from a packet cake mix. All in all we really enjoyed our meal and our time at the restaurant we will be back one day only no desert this time

I love the traditional Italian flavours. There's a new Venitian cook book out now but why buy it when we have it all at our lips.

Always a delightful experience! Amazing vegan options and welcoming atmosphere.

It was the perfect experience, Amazing environment and more amazing food !!

A great little suburban eatery. I particularly like that Francesco peers through the kitchen service window to greet you

Great food as always staff was good will definitely be back

We loved the food. Atmosphere good, but a bit noisy. It was Sat night though.

Great food, great service - the owner & chef Francesco even came out to say hello to everyone in the restaurant - & great venue! We will definitely be back 😊👍

Everything was just amazing. Very cosy atmosphere and the food was perfect for a cold night :)

The food was excellent, very flavoursome and the atmosphere was great.

Very home and welcoming. Italian comfort food! House wines should be tried.

The staff were very efficient & friendly. It was great to have so many vegan options. Our vegan meals were amazing. Thank you, a great experience from beginning to end.

Was a great evening, excellent hospitality, very friendly, knowledgeable and timely. the food was excellent and we will return .

This is the second time I have been to Francesco's in the past couple of months - the first with my vegan family of five, and a few nights ago with a non-vegan mate. Fantastic on both occasions. I love the ambience of this place, and the service is great. Food is plentiful and delicious. My mate was so impressed that he even ordered a plant-based main course after sharing a plant-based platter and arancini with me for entree. I'm sure the food for non-vegans would be just as impressive. It's great to have such a high standard of restaurant that caters brilliantly for all types. Thank you Francesco and team!

The Venue was very atmospheric & the staff were friendly and the food was delicious! It was a bit too noisy inside to converse without shouting & there were no options for smaller serves of mains so I felt like there was a lot of food wastage. I was surprised that the venue were ready to close before midnight on a Friday night also.

Wonderful fresh, tasty dishes - the warm fennel and broccolini a stand out. Friendly team, diverse menu, cosy room - all in all, a wonderful experience.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Our first visit and we loved it. Fantastic options for vegans, vegetarians and coeliacs. Our risotto was cooked to perfection. We will go back as there are so many amazing dishes to try. The bonus for me was to meet Chef at the end of the evening. A great selection of wines and plenty of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The wait staff were excellent and they paid particular attention to any allergies or dietary requests. If you only try one thing, you must try the Pane.

Friendly service and atmosphere. Delicious food, using locally sourced seasonal produce. Francesco creates a warm and welcoming Italian dining experience.

Loved the food atmosphere and service, We'll be back again

Loved the food, the wine and meeting Francesco. A truly authentic Italian experience, almost like being in Veniza. Mille grazie.

Amazing flavours and ambiance . Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves traditional Italian food

The staff and food were wonderful, we fully recommend Francescos

Excellent dining and very welcoming food was extremely nice highly recommended

The entire night was amazing. Food is divine. Service superb

Our night was fantastic the Food, Staff and Service were amazing we will all be back very soon thankyou sooo much for an enjoyable evening 😀😀😀

Absolutely great and welcoming food amazing enjoyed it throughout the night

We love the quality of the food, the good selection of Vegan dishes, the atmosphere and the friendly staff.

We had a very enjoyable experience. The waitress was attentive and kind, food delicious and the restaurant had a casual, calm, fun vibe. We will be back.

It was my second visit to this restaurant in a week. That should tell you everything. The food is outstanding and service to match.

As always, excellent service and quality! Earlier the same day, I asked for a 'birthday surprise' for dessert - and I was not disappointed with the surprise! :-) We all ate till we were quite full and loved the quality of everything we ate. I only wish it were possible to go to this restaurant more often without pre-booking first.

Nothing mote to say. It was great. It is our favourite Italian restaurant and caters well for gluten free diners
