Francesca's By The River - St. Charles

I recently visited this restaurant for lunch and ordered the linguine with clams, which was absolutely delicious. My server, Michelle, provided excellent service and the atmosphere and decor were fantastic. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Came for a dual birthday celebration. After a few mix-ups we enjoyed a lovely appetizer of calamari and the meatballs. Both delicious!!! But the mussels were small. The chicken my husband and got was moist. The salad we shared was gritty. Not good at all. And while we said we were celebrating two birthdays, no special dessert offered. Disappointing. Love the atmosphere, and the staff were accommodating. Debatable whether we will return. Though the meatballs were well worth it!!!!!!

I've been here three times and have had a great experience. Food is delicious, service is excellent and the restaurant is beautiful. Always very busy. Be sure to make a reservation. So happy to have this restaurant in St. Charles!

We went here for our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. The food and wine were amazing! We are pescatarians and there were options for us for appetizers and dinner. We will be back!

Wonderful Italian food drinks. Outstanding service from Sydney Michael Will be back again
