Step inside Francescas and take a culinary journey through Italy.  Early mornings bring rustic, crusted bread hot from the oven accompanied by the scent of freshly brewed espresso.

During lunch and dinner hours, pastas and flavourful sauces simmer while meats and vegetables roast over the chargrill.  Bottles of wine specially selected from the finest wineries are uncorked to complement the dishes, which have been crafted in the custom of Italy's greatest chefs and homemakers.

In the tradition of Italy's greatest trattorias, the sights, sounds and aromas of authentic Italian cuisine are recreated fresh everyday at Francesca's Ristorante Italiano.

A veteran of the street clubs up and down the east coast of the USA, Luther is the genuine article – a sweat drenched, raucous R’n’B singer belting out the greatest soul standards of all time.
