Since I happened to be in the area, I decided to stop in this very nice neighborhood Italian spot. I had dined here several times and each experience had been excellent. On this visit I ordered the 8"Italian Sub with a side of Onion Ribbons. The sandwich was quickly out - nicely plated, well filled and the amount of Onion Ribbons was truly massive, occupying half of the 15" tray the meal was on! The sub was excellent, the crusty roll was perfect and nicely filled, combining to provide great taste and texture. The Onion Ribbons were the perfect side for this sandwich - nicely battered and fried another great taste treat. And all of this for $9.50, or $1.18 per inch of sub. The service was great, efficient and personable - this place does much right, I recommend it without reservation. Ambiance - 4.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 5 Value - 5

Located off the beaten path, this place offers great food at affordable prices. At a stand alone building with its own private parking lot. You are immediately greeted by one of their employees. There are always specials posted on a board near the entrance and more often than not they are really nice choices. Place has ample seating inside and is very comfortable not tight like other places. For appetizers we had the Bruschetta which was really good. Mozzarella sticks were perfectly seasoned on outside and hot gooey cheese inside. The soup of the day was Lobster Bosque, it did not impress, watery, salty and absolutely no lobster meat in it. The Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Cheesesteak were both very hearty and filling g according to my daughter and friend. I had the chicken Parm hero, good sauce to mozzarella ration. Chicken had good flavor though it was cut up and I prefer whole cutlets. Overall a great deal for the money. Our waitress was super friendly and patient with us. She always kept on top of our drinks and consistently checked on us.

I had lunch here today and I truly do enjoy coming to this restaurant I've been coming here since I was a kid today, we ordered the bruschetta which was amazing the bread was perfectly toasted we also ordered a small pepperoni pizza. I always have a good meal here from subs to the salads everything is always fresh and tasty. I will say our server wasn't supper attentive, but this is the first time I have encountered that at this establishment this is a great family restaurant or quick lunch stop there is plenty of parking here as well and they have outdoor seating as well this is definitely a hidden gem with greattt pizza.

We were on the north side of Winston last weekend and checked our Yelp bookmarks. We briefly saw that Francesco's offered a wide variety of items and decided to stop in about 11:30 on a Saturday. When we arrived there were just a few cars in the parking lot and they had opened at 11. We were immediately greeted upon walking in by several young ladies who told us to take a seat anywhere. They provided us menus and took our drink order. The menu consists of appetizers, pizzas, stromboli and calzone options, sandwiches, burgers and pasta dishes. We decided to share a large calzone and my wife ordered a side salad while I picked an order of their garlic bread. The stand alone building appears to be very clean and well taken care of and there was a steady stream of people arriving to dine in as well as pick up to go orders. Our salad and garlic bread arrived quickly and looked yummy. Our server was friendly and efficient as well. We enjoyed both and commented again on how reasonably priced the menu items are. My wife had to try the garlic bread I ordered and loved it. Our calzone arrived shortly afterwards and was huge. We had also requested extra marinara and our server brought a good size bowl of hot marinara which was appreciated. We immediately dug in and really enjoyed every bite. It was too much to eat between the two of us and we were able to package up the leftover calzone and marinara. Again, great find and we would recommend to others.

Francesco's has always been a favorite of mine. They're great for Italian eats that don't break the bank. The waitresses give that family feeling you get in a small-town establishment like this. The portions are huge and the quality is great. The baked ziti uses a vodka sauce instead of traditional red sauce, which I love! They have an amazing steak and cheese Stromboli as well. Also noteworthy: they sell DJ's Cheesecakes! DJ is a local retailer with crazy yet awesome cheesecake flavors. It's a must try too!
