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.
