Francesco's, located in Woodland Park, NJ, paints a delightful picture of Italian cuisine with an inviting atmosphere. Diners rave about the stellar service, frequently noting the attentiveness of the staff. Kelley Smith praised the "prime table service" and highlighted the exceptional table bread and olive oil, even inquiring about purchasing the olive oil to take home. The panini, filled with chicken, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella, received acclaim, although a thicker balsamic glaze would have elevated it further.

Beyond the engaging service, the menu at Francesco's dazzles with a tantalizing variety. From lobster ravioli to hearty tortellini soup, every dish is crafted with care. Sylvie Jouan-Meyers mentioned fresh flavors and generous portions, although one diner found the halibut slightly dry. Justin Davila's devotion to the restaurant shines through as he has consistently enjoyed the rich and flavorful dishes over the years, often savoring the sauce until the last drop.

While Carlos Guzman pointed out that the lighting might be too dim for some, the overwhelmingly positive reviews reflect a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Overall, Francesco's not only serves delicious Italian food but also creates memorable dining experiences. Expect to return; it’s a culinary journey worth repeating.

DELISH! Prime table service! Always checking in on us, bringing us more bread, clearing the table quickly, etc. We also said a prayer before eating and the servers were respectful in making sure not to interrupt. Their table bread and oil are phenomenal! I had to ask about buying some of the oil to take home and they let me! We had salad and tortellini soups to start, no complaints. For entree my guests had a chicken dish and eggplant rollatini which they said they loved. I got a panini which was phenomenal (chicken, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and balsamic glaze). My only feedback on the panini was that the glaze although tasted great seemed to be more of a thinner dressing maybe(?) I didn't get that thickness that you think of when you think "glaze". We will definitely be returning, 100%

I loved almost everything about this place. My only minor complaint is the lighting (too dim for my taste). Everything else was amazing...food, service and all around atmosphere was A. I will definitely return. Pricing was pretty good too

This place was so good, I’m so happy I got to go there! I was for a quick lunch break with my family and literally food was so delicious. I got the lobster ravioli and loved every bite of it, also the bread that comes with it was so soft and tasty!

three of us had lunch at Francesco today. It was a delightful experience from beginning to end. Service was attentive, professional (as in they brought the dishes on the correct side of the guest), friendly, warm. The food was some of the best Italian food I have had in a very long time: fresh salads, good size portions, subtle flavors and a tantalizing menu. The only weakness was that my fish - fresh halibut - was a little dry, and I am very fussy about my fish. Amy our waitress was pleasant, professional and efficient. We are definitely speaking of going back.... Just a great experience.

I’ve been ordering from here for years and they never disappoint. The food is always so delicious that I usually try to drink the remaining sauce alone when the food is done. I would give 10 stars if it was possible.

I catered out a 50th birthday party from here this weekend and it was just great. The food was awesome and every guest commented on the quality of every dish. Frank made the ordering process effortless and John delivered the food, set up the hot racks in my kitchen and left me with nothing to do but eat and enjoy the party. Nice work guys. Definitely be doing it again. 5 stars. Pete

I had an amazing dining experience at Francesco's! Our server, Amy, was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt right at home. A big shoutout to Joe and Bobby, the owners, for creating such a welcoming and unforgettable atmosphere!

This place is a lovely gem! Food is made to order, nice variety of Southern Italian options and unpretentious yet casually elegant. Our server Amy was attentive and friendly, always meeting our needs while being inobtrusive. I would eat here again for sure.
