Francesco's Cafe - Rancho Mirage

The service was excellent, and both the chicken parmesan and the lamb and beef kabob were fantastic. The fried calamari appetizer paired with a salad is highly recommended; it’s a must-try!

The food is fantastic, and the service is also excellent. It's far superior to the other local small-chain Italian restaurants.

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is among the best I’ve had, and I get to choose between two of my favorite cuisines: Persian and Italian. Everyone I’ve brought here has become an instant fan. The only downside is that the service can be a bit inconsistent at times, but I understand the challenges of the current job market in the food industry—I work in it myself, so I know how it can be. That said, the staff and the owner are incredibly nice, which makes it easy to overlook any service issues. If you haven't tried it yet, definitely give it a go!

Francesco’s is an excellent restaurant for home style Italian food. We loved the eggplant parm, pasta with veggies in a wonderful marinara sauce and the delicious Greek salad. The staff makes you feel welcome from the time you walk in the door especially our waitress Maria! This comfortable restaurant has become one of our favorites!!

Francesco’s Cafe is very good food. A mix between Persian and Italian. The service is fast and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is so so. You could bring your family here or you could have a romantic dining experience. It’s quite versatile in that regard. Parking is a bit limited. I highly recommend Francesco’s Cafe for those who want to get in, enjoy great tasting food and head out within a fairly quick length of time. You can take your time if on a romantic venture. Not too far down the street is a casino!
