We are so glad to have picked Francesca's for our rehearsal dinner. They are much more affordable than many other places we looked at (they don't charge a room fee, have minimums, etc), yet it felt very classy and special to us. They have a back room that accommodates about 20 people (we had that many and felt about at capacity) and feels very private. They did a tasting for us (for $100 deposit towards final cost) and were friendly and professional throughout the process. We liked that Luigi thought through details for us (e.g. suggestions for room arrangements, setting up a gift table for us, helping with wording when making my own menus) - he and all the staff (another gentleman who I believe is also named Luigi) were extremely hospitable and made us feel like VIPs. They timed our meals perfectly, kept our glasses full, and made sure everyone was taken care of all night. I also liked that they didn't rush us out despite it being a Saturday night, and were flexible in details such as offering drink options ($25/bottle of wine, pay for first drink, or pay for all drinks) and especially that we got to have TWO desserts :) I highly recommend them!
