Francesco’s

After hearing really bad reviews from local towns people I did my best to stay away from Francesco’s for the first 3 years after moving to Phillipsburg. Was over a new friends house one night and we wanted to order dinner for us and our kids. My friend pulled out the menu for Francesco’s and ordered a large cheese pie. I wasn’t about to be rude and say «I don’t eat there» so I sucked it up and I’m glad I did.
I’m REALLY picky when it comes to pizza sauce and crust and I can’t believe I have not tried it sooner! Serves me right for listening to others and not trying for myself. Cost is decent, it’s not inexpensive but it isn’t break the bank either. For a large pie (which would be a medium anywhere else) it’s $ 12. They only do small and large pies.
I haven’t tried anything else from the menu but can’t wait to in the future!

Nice restaurant that gives large portions of fine Italian food from Appetizer to Dessert. Left very full. Staff and owner very friendly and helpful.

What a great night with my friends at this awesome restuarant!
The Chef Francisco and his staff are very friendly and very talented.
They also were accommodating with my friends and myself.
We’re foodies and they let us change up our dishes.
If you are looking for a great time, great food, and a great staff, you gotta try this place!

Friendly staff fresh food and tastes great. A traditional and real Italian eatery. Much more highly recommended than alpha sub or Bella and gara. This place outshines them all.

Authentic Italian food… you will never find a meatball anywhere like the meatballs at Franchesco’s. The sauce is just delicious and his Margarita pizza is unforgettable. My husbands loves the chicken Parmesan. If it’s not on the menu they will make anything you request. BYOB and prices are very fair.

Over priced garbage. I was excited to give this place a try. We used to come here when it was under a previous name. The food at that time was very good. However, this will be our first and our last. I ordered the (fresh made to order) lobster ravioli. What a disappointment. This was the worst tasting lobster ravioli I have ever had. It had the worst fishy aftertaste and the «lobster» was definitely crab… I couldn’t eat the rest of it assuming I would be sick later. I would have been ok with the fact that it was not a good choice and the menu was deceptive with made to order and fresh lobster. Adding insult to injury it was over $ 18.00 for disgusting food. My husband had shrimp scampi which was adequate. HELLO PPL remove the tails on the shrimp! If I don’t eat it don’t put it on my plate. The waitress Alexa did not add any hope of returning either. She was robotic and not friendly. We had to keep waving her down for service ie; napkins, utensils, and our check. Our bill was way overpriced for imitation FROZEN CRAP.

This place is BYOB and serves awesome gelato ! You know you’re in the right place when the staff is speaking Italian. I had the lasagna and my gf had chicken fettucini. Wow, the lasagna was awesome and the chicken with the fettucini was so tender and juicy. This place used to be called Little Italy Food Center. Definitely a must if you are in the area looking for Italian !!
