Francesco's Restaurant

This is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PLACE IN DADE CITY!!!! I have been there several times and have gotten pizza (which is AMAZING) several times. I brought some friends and family and they all agree it is fantastic!!!! The only problem is that they don’t have fountain drinks, but the food and service make up for it. If you like NY style pizza this is the best in the area by far!!! It doesn’t look like much on the outside and the inside is small, but what comes out of that kitchen is amazing!!! I hope they prosper well and open more locations. Salute!!!!!!

We got a couple pizzas and calimari; I had Chianti reserva to drink. The food and atmosphere are wonderful. The smell of the restaurant is old but clean; very pleasant, and reminds me of Savannah, GA. Our server, Kayla, was attentive, friendly, and polite. I would recommend to anyone.

This place is awesome great food, great service. Family owned restaurant. Good wine selection. Now dont think this is fast food, good things come to those who wait. Nothing like a Italian restaurant when you hear the cook singing Italian songs while he is cooking. Great date night place, and family restaurant.

Cozy place to eat. Waitress very friendly and attentive to the tables needs. Tasty bruschetta and ziti.

It was a wonderful dining experience. It is very difficult to find a good Italian restaurant and Francesco Restaurant is excellent. Very quaint atmosphere.

Very good food and the staff are great. Just passing through on our way back to St. Augustine and I am glad we found this place. Short distance back to 75

A frequent place we like to visit at least once a month. We love the atmosphere in their dinning room. Tastefully decorated, clean and takes reservations but not necessary. My favorite meal besides their pizza is the eggplant rollentini, house side salad with their house dressing. Their staff is pleasant, accommodating and friendly. The owners have a love for food and it shows in their food and service.

Food was really grwat. Staff and service is good. They have a great wine selection. Really enjoy going to this restaurant with my family and friends. Only thing, just expect a little bit of time there. Meals take a little bit of time to get to you but worth the wait. If you expecting to be fast restaurant this is not that kind of place. Expect at least an 1 hour and 1/2. Other than that just enjoy your company more and drink a little more wine. Please come and experience this family restaurant.

Surprisingly good spot for a meal in Dade City. Good pizza, friendly staff, and very busy on a Friday night. Make a reservation or get there early. Friendly staff and a good pizza made for a nice night out. Reasonable price helps as well. Only had pizza so I can't comment on other food although looking around the plates look like large portions. Will return.

My husband and I popped into Francesco's to see if they could serve us a meal, and let us finish in an hour in order to make it to an evening engagement. Our server moved the meal along for us, and we still enjoyed the food and wine. I especially enjoy the garlic knots they serve before the meal. We order pasta most times we go, although the pizza is very good.

By far the best Italian food I have had in over a decade. I will say it's a little on the pricey side but then again you get what you pay for. Definitely great for a date night, or special occasion!! Can't wait to come back and try their Pizza!!

Visiting from Lakeland, My husband and I got the lasagna and chicken parm, which was very fresh and the best we have had anywhere locally. The house wine was also delicious. Our waitress Alexia had great customer service, it really felt like a true Italian family restaurant. We will definitely be returning soon!

Pleasant surprise, my girlfriend wanted Italian and we wound up here in the afternoon, the food was good enough that we agreed quickly on the way home this was another one of our go-to places. Friendly staff, try the more traditional Italian fare. I haven't had the pizza yet but I will soon.

We love this pizza place, so do my parents. We always pick up togo. We have been numerous times The staff is super friendly. One time, we had a slight issue with our order, the manager quickly fixed everything right away and we we're out the door within a few minutes.

Very pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful. Tried a new pie than what I normally get. It had fresh tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and prosciutto. It was very delicious. Loved it!

We have been to Francesco's several times. We love the eggplant parmesan. I lived in Boston and have never had eggplant this good. The owners are wonderful people and come around and make sure you are happy with your dinner. The servers are also very good. Love this place and bring company there every time they come into town.

Awesome fresh food. Best lasagna & Sangria that I've ever had. Staff is friendly. Very reasonably priced. Also their pizza is the best! I love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for true Italian food. Had their chocolate moose-delightful!

My Italian mother always said "The truly GREAT Italian food is worth waiting a little longer for!" And I have always found that to be true... until I ate at Francesco's. I don't know how they do it, but my wife and I did NOT have to wait a long time for some truly GREAT Italian food to come out of this kitchen. BRAVO to The kitchen staff!!! The front of house staff works wonderfully together and you can see it in their faces. They LOVE working here. Even when you order take out, whether it be a four course dinner, or just an AMAZING pizza, they ALWAYS take the time to double and triple check your order, and make sure you are happy before leaving. This little slice of Italy should most Definitely be on every ones speed dial list!!!

Just ate here with my boyfriend and I got the seafood combo and it was incredible! Fresh, very well cooked seafood (mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari) piled on a big bed of pasta. Couldn’t come close to finishing. So glad I tried this place because it is so hard to find correctly cooked seafood in Dade City. The the free garlic knots we were given shortly after sitting down were a huge plus lol

My family and I tried a new place today and it was awesome . Hand's down the best Italian food I have ever had we had stuffed mushrooms for the appetizers amazing!! Lasagna and calzones also really really good! Can not wait to go back to try the pizza. Thank you it was awesome!
