Having been in St Charles for 10 years now, and loving every second,we are also aware of the great dining choices available to us here! One of them is , Francesca's! The food,is simply, great! The choices are designed to give every taste a nice selection,and you can be assured the food to be fresh, and delicious! Do not go there expecting an intimate, quite dining experience though. The place is loud, and the patrons, young and expressive! It does also help to know that you should not park in the Blue Goose parking lot, next to Francesca's, they patrol and tow! Park across the street, in the new municipal lot,if the regular lot is full (almost a given),and you'll be fine! If, by some chance, you cant get in, you can also check out the quite capable competition ,Za Za's up the street on Main, also a great Italian steak house, and grist for a great review, in its own right!!
