FRANCESCA'S BY THE RIVER / ST. CHARLES

Francesca's by the River features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. The restaurant, located in beautiful downtown St. Charles, encourages the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, good, simple cooking, friendly service and fair prices.

The restaurant accepts reservation at both lunch and dinner, and gladly accommodates walk-ins. For larger parties, the private dining room can accommodate 15 to 100 guests in both private and semi-private settings. An oversized fireplace adds to the beauty of this west suburban location.
