Francoli's is located in Fashion Island in Newport Beach. The unique restaurant blends a deli, cafe, and elegant restaurant to create an ambiance that makes you feel as if you are actually in Italy. The food is reasonably priced, and it is absolutely delcious. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine list.

This is my favorite ITALIAN restaurant!!! It is great for Casual/Fine Dining.It is located inside of Fashion Island, Newport Beach. I love the atmosphere, wooden chairs and wooden tables, and all the pretty and interesting decorations (You can also buy them!!! lol.) Well, i have just had a wonderful night there..(Thank you again for those who showed up<3) What I have always liked about Italian Restaurants is that they always have unlimited bread! At Francoli, they also serve bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Their Food is a little bit pricey, but tastes wonderful~!!! I love how they cook their pasta. Their pasta is never over cooked like all the other places and their sauce is never too strong. So for some people, they might want to add some salt and pepper. Also their fresh salads are something that I definitely recommend you to try. More... Price: Salad - $7.00~$12.00 Other dishes - $17.00~$27.00 Hours : Sunday - Thursday: 9:00 am - 9:30 pm Friday - Saturday: 9:00 am - 10:00 pm Italian Breakfast served daily Between 9:00 am - 12pm *They do not take reservations.

Francoli is a delightful store with a wonderful selection of fine Italian wines, alcohol, meats and cheeses. Their prices are a little on the high side, but the quality of the product is consistently high end. This is also a great place to stop in for a hostess/host gift for a dinner party. Their store will definitely compliment any social gathering you are hosting as well, it's definitely worth a stop in!! Plus, the staff is incredibly knowledgable!!! Don't hestitate to ask them anything.
