Why Travelers Love Francesco Ristorante
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.5 / 5.0(2,922 reviews)
A very pleasant restaurant with a fancy feel to it. The food is tasty and the portions match the price on offer. They definitely go for flavour over style and presentation but that is better than the other way around! There’s a tight menu of Italian classics as well as some experimental dishes that would please the adventurous. Good Italian food! Fresh pasta — frito di mare, tiramisu and torentes wine at a reasonable price We ate here for lunch and it was the most incredible meal we had in Mendoza. We came back for dinner the following day as a result. We recently were in Italy and regularly eat in Italians in London and this was better than anything we have ever had. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Big portion sizes. It is more expensive than some Argentinian restaurants but much cheaper than anything we would pay in London/Ireland or even Italy. A must go to in Mendoza! The cocktail was also excellent.
