Francesco Ristorante

I came here on a whim. My daughter had a class in the area and I wanted to grab a healthy meal. The bread is complimentary. It's yummy, but if I come back I might ask you to warm it up for me.The Cesar salad was perfection.The Chicken Picatta was delicious. Tender chicken with amazing flavor. The zucchini was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes took me by surprise! So much flavor. This meal hit the spot. Perfect size. Not too heavy. It tasted so fresh and wholesome. The service was really great too. I saw my server working hard and managing all the tables. He remained calm and friendly even when a little overwhelmed.Thank you!(Parking is available on the street or behind the building.)

Came here for dinner at the suggestion of friends. I ordered a penne special while my husband ordered risotto. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back again.

This is a nice little restaurant on Snoqualmie ridge. We went on a Friday night but the weather was bad and there were plenty of tables for walk-ins. We ordered the meatballs and truffle fries- both of which were good. The chicken piccata was fine- it lacked a crust when seared and the sauce wasn't as lemony as I desired. The carbonara was good. The interior is beautiful and warm and the staff were very welcoming. This place is a great addition to Snoqualmie.

Seems as if I will be spending more and more time in Snoqualmie these days as there is a certain fella I've been getting to know there. Not my top choice of towns, as it is so darn far from me here in North Seattle. I like to joke that it's "halfway to Boston". However when my fella took me on a date to Francescos this past Friday, I was pretty damn impressed. Luckily we weren't super hungry or in a rush, as it took probably a solid 45 min before anyone was prepared to take our food order. The owner did come over later to apologize and mentioned he was severely short staffed due to illnesses. We split an antipasti, insalate, and a chicken main. Insalate: Mozzarella Caprese $13.50 (Fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, extra virgin olive oil, oregano, fresh chopped basil) which is always a solid choice (i mean, if an authentic Italian restaurant messes up Caprese then there are more major problems to be dealt with)Antipasti: Gamberi in Carrozza $19.50 (Cocktail of large prawns, bruschetta, aioli sauce). I'm a big fan of seafood so we opted for this but be forewarned, though the shrimps were cooked to juicy perfection and the sauce scrumptious, this is a very large appetizer with 5 large pieces of bruschetta and the prawns layered on top. It was a bit too large for the 2 of us and the leftovers (3 bruschetta) went home with us as leftovers.Chicken Main: Pollo Marsala $24 (Chicken breast, sauteed with mushrooms, marsala wine). 5 stars! Chicken was moist and juicy, mushrooms were the perfect texture, and the marsala sauce was incredibly flavored. It came with sauteed seasonal vegetables and potatoes. We opted to add pasta for an additional $4. The chef-owner was helpful in helping me choose the right pasta to go with the marsala sauce as my preference was a short noodle. He steered me towards the penne and it was a good complement.The place was packed on a Friday night with families, couples, and friends and the outside terrace ambiance was also cute with lots of string lights.Definitely recommend if you find yourself in Snoqualmie in search of a good meal. Prices were reasonable to me, as I am used to Seattle restaurants but don't come here looking for family budget priced fare- you pay for quality here!

The new owners have done a wonderful job on menu selection and food is great. #authentic

Loooove Francesco's! Service is always amazing and the food....Yummmm! I have had a few things but what I crave the most is the tortellini.....it is in a cream sauce and so incredibly delicious! I also love their Barratta salad! So fresh and Tasty! Must go!

Was in search of an Italian restaurant who could host a party of teenage girls for a sweet 16th birthday and I came across Francesco Ristorante. For planning purposes I met with the owner in advance to make reservations for the large party. He was extremely gracious and offered a family style dinner menu that would would be tailored to our liking. The dinner party was a great success. The ambience was lovely and made the birthday girl feel like a true princess. Food was authentic and delicious. The casual Italian being spoken while serving our delicious meal was an added sprinkle to a wonderful evening. I can't thank the owner and staff of Francesco enough for such a lovely dinner and experience. We will return and enjoy a small family dinner soon.

Francesco is now doing weekend brunch. My husband would rather go out to breakfast than dinner. When i saw Francesco's post about weekend brunch- i thoughts let's check it out!Not many pictures because i left my phone at home and had to get husband to take picsThe restaurant is very clean yet warm and welcoming. It makes it easy to relax. The brunch menu is varied with so many appealing options. Hello Beignet Basket!Finally decided to order a vegetable frittata and Eggs Benedict California. While we waited, we had some lovely toasted bread with fresh made jam. The strawberry jam was so good- not that icky sweet pull tab stuff- this was made by restaurant. Out came our selections and to summarize- They were absolutely delicious. Flavorful, nicely seasoned plated with potatoes and fruit. This not a big breakfast gal was thrilled. Service was outstanding. Warm, Solicitous yet not hovering. We will definitely return. They open at 10 am on weekdays- give them a try. Mangia

We were greeted at the door and were sat quickly! My wife and I both ordered the spaghetti carbonara and it was delicious! We also enjoyed the bread before our entree's came. They have oil and vinegar to dip the bread in! We will be coming back here!

One of our favorite local restaurants. We love the staff and the food is always amazing. My husband always gets a special and I always get the pollo gorgonzola. YUMMY! Beautiful spot to sit outside during the summer or a cozy spot to sit inside during the cooler weather.
