Restaurant Reviews for Francesca's Bryn Mawr

Francesca's Bryn Mawr reservations Francesca's Bryn Mawr

1039 West Bryn Mawr Avenue
Chicago, IL 60660

Francesca’s Bryn Mawr is the 8th restaurant in "The Family of Francesca Restaurants". The original partners of Mia Francesca, Scott Harris, Michael Noone and Terry Alexander have reunited to bring the Edgewater neighborhood a restaurant with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, good, rustic cooking, friendly service and fair prices. The menu features the zesty earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. Located in the Historic District on Bryn Mawr, the building was built in 1927 as the Bryn Mawr Apartment Hotel. It contained 231 one, two and three room luxuriously furnished apartments. The building also included nine stores along the entire Bryn Mawr Avenue front. The building underwent a complete restoration in 1999.

Dining Style: Casual Elegant
Price: $30 and under
Parking: Valet

Review 2 for Francesca's Bryn Mawr

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Live right around the corner and never tried Francesca's. How wonderful! Had an appetizer: Bruscetta alla Tuscano and thought I died and went to heaven! Don't know what they did to that fresh mozzerella (maybe through a ricer), haven't had cheese like that since NY. A lot of seafood entrees and I do not eat seafood, but found a wonderful pasta dish. Service was slow and waiter was rarely at our table. Could have been a lot better in this department. Will definitely be a return visitor."

Review 3 for Francesca's Bryn Mawr

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"The aggressive pan-handlers on the street really ruined the evening for us. You need to do something about that.

Also, the food runners need to know who ordered what - there were only 2 of us and for each order they had to ask who which plate. That's very unprofessional.

Finally it took at least 5 minutes to get each glass of wine and the restaurnat was not that crowded. Also very unprofessional.

We were there several years ago and the place is slipping. Won't be back."

Review 5 for Francesca's Bryn Mawr

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We celebrated my birthday at Francesca's and loved it, as always. The beef carpaccio is amazing -- we order it every time we dine here, and it is always delicious. We also enjoyed the spinach-stuffed ravioli and the gnocchi with meat and tomato sauce. The creme brulee was a highlight for dessert, and the profiteroles were great too! I also ordered the Torta di Lava (chocolate cake), and it was good, but frankly I make a better flourless chocolate cake."

"This was a good restaurant for what it is, but not as stylish as I had hoped. It seemed that the place didn't know if it wanted to be a bar or a restaurant. It had the feel of a noisy bar, but the set up of a nice restaurant. Food was good and plentiful. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our dishes. I would come back for lunch or a casual dinner."

"I have trouble recalling when I have enjoyed such a savory meal, it was just outstanding. They specialize in Italian seafood and aside from an excellent preparation, it was just unbelieveably fresh. I don't know how they do it at those prices. It was a real find. The service was great and it had a very nice ambiance but that is just overwhelmed by how good the food was."

"the carpaccio was very good as usual. We specifically go to the francesca's on Bryn Mawr because the food is always better than any other francesca's in chicago. However, this time the main dishes were just ok, I had the lobster raviolli with lobster sauce and it was a little dissapointing. The dessert was pretty good, we had the teramisu. The wine was just bad. I had to force myself to finish my half of the bottle and my boyfriend just couldn't finish it and we had at least a full glass left. The wine should be discontinued and the restaurant should stop selling it."

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We went to Francesa's for pre-theatre dining on a Saturday. Our reservations were for 6:30 and we were given a choice to wait for a booth that would come available in just a few minutes if we wanted to wait at the bar, or a less private table. The only slip up for the entire night was waiting a good 10 minutes for a drink at the bar when we were the only ones sitting there.
The food was perfect. I took a rather particular date (or maybe everyone is that particular, but he just is more vocal about his experience) and he loved his meal, as did I. You need reservations on Saturdays, as there was already a 45 minute wait at 6:30 and we saw several theatre patrons who did not have the time to wait for a table."

"My group of four arrived at 6:59pm for our 7pm reservation. I checked in with the hostess, told her our entire party was here and she said it would be a few moments. It was NYE and they were busy so that was fine. Groups who arrived before us were being seated then groups arriving after us were being seated until we were the only group left. I made eye contact with the hostess multiple times. I asked at 7:15pm when we would be seated for our 7pm reservation, she asked again if our entire group was here. I told her that we were and I told her that 15 minutes ago. We were seated within 30 seconds of that. How long would we have stood there if I didn't ask again?
I had to ask the waiter to refill our drinks and bring more bread."

"I was disappointed by the quality of the food here, having eaten at other Francesca's over the years. There is really no way that I could recommend this restaurant to others based on the food. The salad was over dressed and incredibly sweet to its detriment. And, my salmon did not pair well with any of the ingredients with which it was cooked, making it an odd combination none too pleasing. The service far outshone the food, friendly and efficient."

Review 33 for Francesca's Bryn Mawr

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"The food here was AMAZING and we enjoyed the atmosphere. I was very good for date night. We arrived earlier than our reservation and were seated immediately. The only thing lacking was service. Our server was kind of hit and miss; he made the first stop at our table in good time and we ordered an appetizer (risotto - yummy!). Our appetizer came and went and we were more than ready to order the entrees but he was still nowhere to be seen. Once he did take our entree order, though, the food came quickly and service seemed to improve a little. We would definitely go back because of the food, but maybe not on a weekend night."
