Excellent service despite being nearly full. Eggplant, side order of sausages, fresh salad and warm bread with butter also excellent. Truly outstanding was the fresh, delicate bruschetta sauce on the gnocchi. Added bonus ---reasonably good wine. Phenomenal value. Intend to make it a habit.

I have eaten here for years. They have good Chicken Francesca, my favorite dish. I also get pizza take-out. Their sauce is excellent.

Francesca's is by far the best Italian restaurant in the area. But get there early, the word is spreading! The entrees are all excellent in portions and with wonderful flavor. Often I judge Italian restaurants by the flavor of the marinara and the quality of the pasta. Francesca's is tops in both categories. If you go there only for pizza,... More

By the final night of our trip, we were ready for pizza. Looked on Trip Advisor, as usual, and found Francesca's Pizzeria. It is on the back of a strip shopping center at the edge of town. I had to call twice to get directions. It was nighttime, so it was hard to see. Not a fancy place, but was... More

A native of of NYC's little Italy, I thought I'd never find anything close to the authentic flavors of the old country. (Sorry folks but Olive Garden,. Romanos's Macaroni Gril, Carrabba's, etc. don't come close to Italian) I've been a fan since it opened. Though a bit small in comparison to many eateries, Francesca's makes up in flavor and value...

We were just passing through Rhinebeck looking for a place to get a bite to eat, and happened on this great little restaurant. I had been craving pizza, and we were treated to some of the best pizza we have ever had. My husband and I also ordered salads, and they were so large that we could easily have shared... More

We tripped over ths restaurant going north from the center of Rhinebeck and couldn't believe how good this experience was. The absolute best Shrimp marinara and manicotti my wife and I have ever had. Extremely nice and attentive staff. At least 10 people hanging outside waiting for a table. I asked the waitress if this was the locals Italian place... More

Not sure how we've missed eating here in the years we've been living nearby, but we finally made it and we are glad we did. The food is "normal" Italian but entirely delicious. Our kid had a side order of meatballs with her kid order of ravioli, and I have to say they might have been the most delicious (and... More
