Francesca’s Cucina is one of Syracuse’s best restaurants, and a can’t-miss spot for anyone looking for some mouth-watering Italian cuisine.
First of all, the atmosphere is great; the walls are lined with interesting and fun artwork, while the restaurant decor embraces that classic Italian vibe without looking tacky or forced. It can get a little loud when seated by the bar area, but the dining experience is excellent overall.
That includes the service, as our server was friendly and attentive to all of our needs. Our drinks never ran out and we were never left wondering when our server

This restaurant is highly rated and I'm sooo confused. I read all the bad reviews and none of them mention how painful mediocre and disappointing the food here is. The fact that this restaurant is so highly rated really reflects on how the people of syracuse have no idea what good food is.
We were sat at a small table next to the bar, music was horribly loud but that may be because the intoxicated customers at the bar were even louder. Had to practically yell to talk to my boyfriend across from me.
The complementary bread was cakey and the sauce with it tasted canned.
We ordered waygu beef ravioli

I absolutely loved this restaurant. Their wine selection is out of this world & their cocktail drinks were served quickly. When it came time to order our server took many orders and brought them back quickly. The food myself and my fiancé was absolutely delicious and the deserts are to die for. I give Francesca's 5 stars 🌟 and will definitely be going back.

Stop the presses! This place is amazing! The wife and I were in Sryacuse for an extended weekend and I wish I had found this place sooner. This Italian restaurant has a gorgeous outside sitting area in the back complete with fire pit. We didn't get to sit back there but the layout of this place is very cozy. We started with the steamed mussels which said it was a white sauce but actually was red. I was worried my wife wouldnt like it because she's is not a face of red sauce but we ate them up so fast. I ordered the Chicken Riggies becuase everytime I'm in upstate NY I have to get my fix. My wife
Bonjour Everyone
