Beautiful Bridal Shower.

May 2024 • family

I hosted my niece’s Bridal Shower luncheon at Francesca’s Amici luncheon. It was just lovely. Everyone from Nancy the Events Manager to Jose’ the head server and Roberto another server were just amazing. So accommodating and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful making the luncheon seamless. The guests in attendance were very complimentary. I would definitely host another event at this venue.

Spotless and Refined

Really a tremendous dining experience. Every entree, from pasta to fish was excellent. Solid wine list. Restaurant was full but the noise level was acceptable. No issue with having a discussion without having to yell. Bar area looks fun as well should you decide to eat there. Looking forward to a return visit.

Best Bridal Shower ever!

May 2024 • family

Family and friends had the best time at the bridal shower the parents of bride and groom hosted. Here are the specifics: 11-2 pm, 40 guests, Classico family style -Lemon Chicken, Bruschetta, classic dinner salad, ravioli with ricotta, and tiramisu. The food and service was amazing. The manager Eric was onsite to make sure everything was perfect, and it was. Shout out to the friendliest and best servers. I forgot to mention the mimosas that everyone loved. Also, the ravioli and lemon chicken was a big hit with all the guests. if I could give 10 perfect stars I would.

Wonderful food, fantastic service

Apr 2024 • couples

This was our fourth visit to Francesca’s Amici. Each time we’ve had amazing service and a great meal. We’re usually only in Elmhurst for one night and this is the only place we go to dinner because after a 5-hour drive we just want to sit down to a good meal and Francesca’s always delivers.

2 friends and I hosted a bridal shower. Nancy was more than accommodating to all our requests. The chef/s prepared a delicious meal. Drinks were plentiful and the staff was great in their attention to detail. I would definitely return to Francesca's Amici in Elmhurst. Thanks to Nancy, Eric the GM, Oly, Andres and Robo.

Great hospitality and service from Enrique “Tortuga” on a busy Saturday night. He even took the time to sing Happy birthday to our “17” year old daughter.

Always A Classic

Dec 2023 • family

Staff: Nico and Enrique were gratuitous, knowledgeable and welcoming. Rapid and caring to detail service. Support staff kind as well. The managers care about how the restaurant looks, how the food tastes and hearing feedback from customers. Atmosphere: clean, pretty. Tables and booths. Party room available. Handicapped accessible. Full bar in front. Average volume, not too loud or not too quiet. Recommended to dress business casual. Bathrooms: beautifully decorative and private. Modern. Clean. Food: favorite item is spinach ravioli. Also had a mushroom pasta. Tea was by company Forte with choices of flavors. Good portions. Nice temperature of food. Bread on table with cheese and deliciously spiced oil. Would buy a whole bottle of the oil if an option. Could be a nice gift for people. Restaurant surrounds: Free street and lot parking. Near businesses, shops, movie theater, Starbucks and grocery store. Safe and clean area. Good for business meetings, dates, family and special events. Will return soon. Highly recommend.

We were a large party (18) and only made our reservation the day before. Not only were they able to accommodate our large group, but they also showed us amazing hospitality. The team taking care of us kept glasses filled and were very efficient with taking care of requests. The food was excellent. We were sharing plates around the table so I was able to taste many of the things on the menu- everything was beautifully executed and presented and tasted wonderful!

Friendly and excellent dining experience.

Sep 2023 • family

We recently had a luncheon after the funeral for our father at Francesca’s Amici, Elmhurst, IL. Francesca’s was so wonderful from start to finish with arrangements, accommodating diet restrictions, and giving children’s menu. Nancy was great at helping to make a difficult time a little easier by giving multiple options for meals and being flexible to accommodate 40-60 guests since we did not know the exact number that would attend. The staff, including the bartenders, were great and attentive to all our guests. Everyone in our party were treated with great respect and said the food was in abundance and delicious. I would recommend Francesca’s in Elmhurst, IL to anyone if you are looking for tasty food and friendly staff.
