Francesca's Italian Kitchen - Temecula

After enjoying a winery tour and tasting on the opposite side, we decided to look for a place to eat. We stumbled upon this restaurant without a reservation, but they were able to seat us. We had a fantastic meal accompanied by exceptional service.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Temecula. The service and food are always amazing, which is why we keep coming back. They offer delicious bread to start and have a great selection of appetizers. We have tried a variety of entrees with our family and friends, and they have all been consistently delicious. One of our favorites is the seafood spaghetti, which has one of the best tasting sauces. The bartender does a fantastic job in customer service and makes delicious cocktails.

I got something simple so I could make an unbiased review. Any Italian restaurant worth going to can make a good chicken parm. Francesca's was just meh Granted, I got it delivered by Grubhub, but quality isn't lost on a short delivery. Normal chicken parm should be swimming in sauce. Mine had barely enough placed on the piece of chicken and had a literal sprinkling on the spaghetti that came with it. There was no choice of pasta when I chose to order it either. For $27, I'd expect 2 pieces of chicken also. Just 1. Overall it wasn't worth the price. I'm sure for California, this passes as good Italian food. A few friends recommend we order from here. Overall, it fell a bit short from Italian back east. If you want good Italian food, Bongiorno's does it better, and cheaper.

First time here and we had a wonderful experience. We waited a few minutes to get seated, there were no actual menu's available to peruse but they did offer us their tablet to view what was being served. We placed our order with our very friendly and accommodating waiter! We brought our own wine in for a minimal corkage fee We had the meatballs and the pear gorgonzola salad as a started, both were very good! Had the Vitello Marsala it was delicious and the Bucatini alla Amatriciana was suberb! Much more to be had, we will be back!!!

I loved Francesca's. Everything was great, from the service to food quality and taste. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of the restaurant because from the outside it just looks like a plain, run of the mill Italian restaurant. I would highly recommend going.
