Always wonderful food, ambiance and service. Best Italian in Adelaide 🙌
The quality of the food is amazing & Francesco came out personally to the tables.
Excellent food with a nice atmosphere. Service felt very homely. Will definitely come back.
This is not your generic Italian restaurant. Francesco's offers a niche, compact menu. Some of the flavours in the street food selection reminded me of my Italian mamma's cooking. The lovely waitress was more like a hostess welcoming you to dinner in her home. The dining room had a warm and cosy vibe. It was truly a diniing "experience". Thank you
Outstanding food and service! Will definitely dine there again. Thanks.
My partner and I made a late reservation for dinner after work. The food was very good and the service was just right. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed vegan dishes - the lasagna on the menu and the special pasta with artichoke sauce, finished off with chocolate fudge. Everything was prepared well and presented nicely. Although Francesca's is out of the way for us, we'll be sure to return
Great food and service. Loved the choices on the menu and shared our plates. Was just warm enough sitting outside. A little warmer would have been good. Appreciate it’s difficult though heating outside
Fantastic food, great service - quaint setting - definitely will be going back
It was an amazing experience. The food was incredible as always. I was a big fan of the stall and I’ve had their food for years. There isn’t a dish I’ve tried that has been ever been. It’s all spectacular and I’m not exaggerating. Would absolutely recommend to friends!
What is wrong here. Only one person on tables who did a fair job, pleasant, polite etc but.. food lacked sauce and had the impression it had come from the freezer, the lower part of the food was cold! I would expect a cannelloni to have discernible shape, filling and sauce. Not so . It was a compressed ,solid square. The seafood pasta was a mash of? No obvious fish, prawns etc were visible Extremely disappointing. All that with broken furniture thrown in for good measure. Allsodifferenfrom our first
Incredible food! Atmosphere was intimate. Service was excellent. We’ll be back!
Super friendly and attentive staff, delicious seasonal food, tasty wine, and great atmosphere. They also have a separate vegan menu and are very understanding about allergies - with no compromise on taste! We loved dining here and will definitely be back!
A local gem that wraps you in a warm hug of rustic charm. Super tasty dishes. I had the seafood risotto and my husband pesto gnocchi. Sides of caramelised fennel and charred broccolini- divine. And then the chocolate soufflé - comfort food of the highest order. The waitress says that’s why she works there - I can understand why! Excellent in every way. We will be back!
Beautiful food and lovely service. Super cute place, will definitely be going back!
Exquisite cuisine, Venetian of course. Service, venue, friendliness of staff was great, will return.
Beautiful food, excellent service, very good prices with vegan and non-vegan options. Coffee was excellent too.
This place is heaven. The food, the wine, the service …it cannot be faulted. 10/10.
just a little cold in the area we were seated in
Good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Friend wanted wine to be served at the table direct from bottle, not brought to table in the glass
Meal was great and staff very friendly and service really good.
Beautiful food, everything we ordered was delightful - fabulous ingredients made for fresh and authentic dishes.

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 😊👍
