Fantastic food. Great atmosphere, superb and friendly service. Honestly, the best pizza I've ever tasted (Francesca Pizza) and my Mrs said the same of her Seafood Tagliatelle. To add to this it was great value for money too!
I first heard about this place 35 years ago. My only regret is leaving it so long for my first visit. We will be back.
The best Italian ever! I have had so many lovely times and meals here throughout my time at university. All the staff are so friendly and full of craic and the food is unreal. I really recommend the half pizza half pasta. Thank you Francesca's!
Nice little restaurant about 5 mins walk from west Jesmond metro station. Lovely deco inside. Most staff polite and friendly, some🙄
Meal was quite nice but wasn't keen on minestrone soup, personal preference, my dinner was OK but once again I ordered prawn dish, they did not look like prawns and put me off a bit,enclosed photo, have a look see what you think. Looked like the prawns were stretched out lol. Didn't bother with pudding on this occasion.asked for water with meal got bottled water that you had to pay for.,tap would have been nice with bit of ice. Bit pricey and very busy, came in the afternoon. Restaurant clean and tidy as were the toilets. Not sure if they had accessible toilets but did have accessible entrance.
Would i return and recommend to family and friends, yes always give another chance to improve. Will try something totally different next time.
Absolutely amazing food and service! Could not recommend this place any more.
Complementary bread basket is a nice touch to start, and the food is always fresh and comes out really quickly. Good sized portions too so definitely worth the money!
Usually have to wait 20-30 minutes, depending on time, but that’s not an issue, as the food is definitely worth the wait!
Relatively good pricing too, spending around £20pp for 2 courses and drinks!
We had a tasty lunch here, loved the half pasta, half pizza meal! Good quality Italian cooking that’s value for money. We went at 2pm on a Saturday with hardly any queue.
Ambience: Great place to visit family or friends. Good vibe.
Food: Fair portion, value for money. Lot of options to choose from.. half pizza and half pasta is a great steal.
Service: Had to wait a bit longer than expected for the food. As there is no option to reserve a table, there's a lot of waiting around.
Cost: Reasonable enough.
Fantastic pizza. Dough texture the happy balance of crisp and chew that makes perfect pizza. Delicious and balanced topping.
Ate here last night as a solo diner and cannot fault this place, was recommended to me by a local and my god it was just so good! Atmosphere, food and staff were all outstanding. If you see a queue, do yourself a favour and wait for a table, you will not regret it! Really reasonable too, I just went town on drinks and food.
Lovely staff, great food, nice decor. I went with my daughters and we had a cannelloni, spagbol and a penne bolognese. Portions are very generous. I ended up taking the other half of my cannelloni home. For desserts we had a raspberry sorbet and a portion of profiterrole. Really enjoyed our girls night out.
Meal here tonight after dropping my daughter off at Uni. Food was amazing, staff very attentive especially Thomas. Atmosphere was brilliant. Very popular place, highly recommended.
First time visit and wasn’t disappointed. Food was delicious and matched by the service, especially Thomas who was tremendous and made us feel like family. Will definitely be back!
This was a lovely family restaurant. With attentive staff, delicious food that doesn't break the budget. Lovely soft bread served before the starters arrived. House red is very nice. The tiramisu is a standout perhaps the best I have ever had. Kids were well catered for and there in variable antics graciously accepted
Love Francesscas the food is delicious the ambience is warm and friendly and at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for. You do have to queue but get yourself a drink whilst your standing and take it all in.
Lovely food and pizza is amazing
My family has been coming here since before I was born and it's still a favourite of ours. I'd go as far as to call it my favourite restaurant ever. The food is always perfect, the staff are brilliant and go out of their way to make your experience great. People queue outside the door waiting for a table it's that good!
Great experience and the service was fabulous with a great musical piece by Thomas. Food was fabulous although sad that we could have the potato skin but overall, was an amazing evening there.
