The food and service were outstanding!!!!! As well as the atmosphere
Real nice restaurant for Sunday Brunch ala cart! Great food. Great service. Willingness to make the meal how we wanted it! Will go back there!
Beautiful place and the food was great. Bruschetta was to die for!
Enjoyed our evening at Mia Francescas the food atmosphere and service were great.
Solid food service and surroundings!
Great variety of food and drink. Our server was very attentive and made good recommendations. Nice place for our friend gathering
It was great. We lived the atmosphere, food and overall ambience.
the food is good but the staff is great & service is what matters
Service was superior, food delish, house wine outstanding!
Food was tasty! It was a little loud in the dining areas, hard to hold conversation speaking at an average volume.
I like Mia Francesca for the atmosphere. It's energetic and feels like a night out. The food is OK. There are better Italian restaurants in town but none with as good an atmosphere.
Very nice. Great atmosphere.
My burger was cooked perfectly medium just as I ordered it. The salad was fresh and the dressing just right.
Food was good, service wasn't so great. It was very loud. I loved how everything looked.
A very enjoyable dinner with well prepared and delicious food. The desserts were a perfect compliment to a great meal. Our server, Dawn, was outstanding. Very pleasant, polite, and efficient.
Good food, slow service, very noisy . Not recommend for pleasant night out.
Food and level of service were excellent. We will definitely return to this site.
Have dined here before. The service was top notch and the food very good. An excellent bargain in an upscale area and setting. The risotto appetizer was awesome and enough to serve as an entrée. A salad before the risotto appetizer made a complete meal. Will definitely return.
The food was the best we've ever had here. Calamari was wonderful, shared Caesar salad was great, my pizza and my husband's cod and shrimp dish was outstanding.
I really enjoyed the restaurant and the two servers we had were great. Food was excellent as well. I will definitely go back.
Food was good, service was not. My salmon was almost raw and it took 35 minutes to get a replacement out. Our drinks were always empty.
The food was great,
Very pleasant meal with friends. Very courteous staff from hostesses to waiter/bartender, and manager. Great food. Requested warm lentil salad (that used to be great appetizer and not on menu anymore...very accommodating to check to see if they could make it....It is always great. Bartender, Donnie, suggested good wines and cocktails and manager made a point to check to see how things were...
Always have a great time eating here.
We were seated on time on a busy night, food and service were great, we'll be back.
Not worth the money for nyd brunch. There could have been a lot more on it. We may go back for dinner.
Generally a good experience with excellent food. Our waiter was having a rough night but it was NYE and we didn't have anywhere to be, so the somewhat slow service was not a problem. The service is usually top notch so don't let that discourage you from trying it.
Worst meal I have ever been served! I am not one to return food for minor issues. My husband and I ordered the scallop special and a mushroom pizza to share. The pizza smelled heavenly (doughy and under cooked though), but the scallop dish smelled like trash, literally. We both tried a bite and had to spit it out. We think the scallops must have been bad. After waiting 10 minutes for our...
This was our second visit to Mia Francesca and we were equally pleased with the quality of the food and our overall experience. The food is excellent and very reasonable in price.
We went here for our 5 year anniversary. It was only the sending time we have dined there but it was fantastic. Both dishes of fish were cooked to perfection. Definitely be back for more.
Always great! Food, service and attention to detail all make Mia Francesca a great place to dine out!
Always enjoy Mia! I especially like the atmosphere.
Not as good as Italy, but going in the correct direction..
I had a pleasant brunch with friends. Very accommodating to people with children.
Our recent two experiences with Mia Francesca - Sunday brunch, & evening dinner - were very satisfying. We'll be returning often!
Waiter was very, speed of food delivery was horrific, waited 45 minutes
Our evening couldn't have been better! It was a surprise birthday dinner for my 44 year old daughter, who thought she was going there just with me (& was a little upset that we left her dad at home.) Meanwhile 4 of her best friends were seated at our table waiting to surprise her. Because of traffic we were more than 20 minutes late & she dropped me off to secure our table while she parked. Our...
Initially the service was outstanding. At that point we had ordered wine and appetizers. However, once the waiter realized each person in our party was not each going to order full entrees his attitude abruptly changed from very pleasant to irritated and smug. It was a weeknight, we were low maintenance, and restaurant was not crowded. Point being it wasn't like we were taking away an...
This was out first visit to Mia Francesca and w were not disappointed. My wife had their signature half chicken dish with potatoes which was moist and very flavorful. I have the prosciutto and lamb stuffed ravioli in a cream sauce. It was fabulous. The meals were very reasonably priced and the portions suitable. WE look forward to trying other dishes the next time we dine there.
We visit here for the first time on Thanksgiving Day 2016. The staff and atmosphere were really great. Turkey breast was nicely seasoned and very moist and Salmon was very good too. So much variety of delicious food on the buffet table! Also there was a desert buffet with assortments of pies, cakes, cannoli's & etc... what a treat!! My family and I will be visiting again Thanksgiving Day 2017!...
This review focuses on Mia Francesca's ability to serve a large group (around 45) for a pre-arranged dinner in a private dining room, and does not reflect the quality of the restaurant for typical dining configurations (a couple or small group). The group had several choices from a prearranged menu. Wines were excellent, and service was for the most part...
Stopped by for a quick solo dinner with high expectations but left completely underwhelmed, mostly because of the service at the bar, where undecided to have my dinner. Though I was quickly given a menu and asked for my drink order, I was pretty much left alone after that. In fact, I had to stop my bartender on his way...
Both my husband and I ordered lunch paninis. He had the eggplant & I had the chicken. Mine was pretty tasty & the truffle fries were really good. My husband didn't like the fact that they left the skin on the eggplant, it made it hard to eat the sandwich. He chose the side salad which was fresh, but they...
I have been to Mia Francesca numerous times and have always had a wonderful experience. Not the case tonight. I realize it's valentines weekend, however; to wait a hour and a half for our entrees on a prearranged menu and then it's cold just not acceptable. Service was not good either. After waiting a hour and a half the manager...
I'd only eaten at Mia Francesca before for dinners so when I saw that they had a brunch menu I knew that was something I wanted to try and I was not disappointed.
Mia Francesca is located inside the Renaissance Hotel in North Hills so there is plenty of parking in either the open lots or the underground parking. It...
Visited w/ my daughter for a light, healthy lunch. We each ordered Caprese salad and split Funghi e polenta. Our server brought bread w/ oil/seasonings to the table and we were like "wow this is good!" When we tried our food, it was like, "This is amazing!" Also had a fresh brewed ice tea. Food and service was exceptional. Highly...
Our family regretfully was disappointed by the holiday buffet and wait service offered Thanksgiving day. Our reservation for three placed us in the grill area. We had expected more Italian dishes, but found mac and cheese as one of the selections, collards, green bean casserole ... a decidedly more Southern representation. Other items included, a weak salad, turkey and ham....
The restaurant was completely packed with a line so obviously my opinion is in the minority. We ate at the bar, which was a very nice set up but the bartenders lacked heavily on service and seemed to not know which one was supposed to help who and for being right in front of them we sat with empty drink...
We had a great Thanksgiving buffet at Mia Francesca! I hate to tell people how good it is in fear everyone will know of the great little gem we have in North Raleigh! Our server was Dawn and she was excellent. Just the right amount of attention. We will certainly be back. In fact, we would like to book our...
Ate lunch and had spaghetti and meatballs and my daughter had chicken parmigiana. Both were delicious and the best part was dessert. We got the cheesecake and the puff pastry filled with vanilla gelato and it was amazing! We've even planned to have our Christmas party in one of their rooms. They're able to accommodate up to 65 in that...
We had an early dinner at Mai Francesca. It has an attractive Mediterranean atmosphere. The service was top rate. Our meal was delicious! Good bread with dipping oil. We had a TOB salat with tomato, blue cheese and basil. It was good - but the blue cheese was a bit strong for my taste.
I had the Sea scallop Risotto...
First time here, a friend heard the brunch was good, we were there about 11 am. The host was young and somewhat inexperienced, but helped ok with our table location. Waitress was really good & observant. Saw it was a special occasion for us & treated us well. Plenty of choices for meals & extras. The various choices we had...
Mia Francesca Trattoria in Raleigh was a surprise for me. The staff was friendly and could not have been more helpful. The food was very plentiful. It was enough for a family lunch the next day! The Caprese salad was real buffalo mozzarella. I requested gluten free pasta for a guest. It was delicious. The private room was more than...
We ate an Easter brunch here a couple of years ago and enjoyed the food very much. Tonight we joined some friends (a party of 20) and had good food and excellent service. Everyone was pleased with their good choices and the prices were very reasonable.
This was a date night for me and my wife. Restaurant is part of Renaissance Hotel. That was very helpful since we were able to park in the garage and walk up to it without getting wet on a rainy day. Good selection of wines and beers. We both had seafood and it was prepared exquisitely. Service was also great....
I was a little disappointed with the service, but the food was very good. Liked the decor and ambience, but it was quite noisy.
The food was prepared very well and the presentation was very impressive. The food quality was very good and the taste makes you want to eat it all The portions are sizable and the kitchen staff prepares the dishes excellently.....but the service is WONDERFUL! The staff tended to our special orders and got them right the first time! The bread...
My husband and I were staying at the Renaissance hotel and decided to go to the Mia Francesca which was accessed through the lobby.
Upon arrival the restaurant was not busy. While we were seated immediately it took 15 minutes for our drink order to be taken then several more before the appetizer order was taken. Then our drinks arrived...
We had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. When I made the reservation, I told Jamie (later was told he is the manager) it was our anniversary and that it was my wife's first choice for dining in North Hills.
When we arrived the hostess wished us a happy anniversary,as did the server (Ashley), and the bus person. We were...
The prices seem to reflect the massive portions here. So plan to take food home with you.
Service was very good, knowledgeable and friendly server who provided insights and recommendations. Place was not very full on a Wednesday but, if it were, the tables are very close together and I suspect it would be noisy and a bit too cozy....
Our expectations for an upscale dining experienced were dashed soon after we tasted our entrees and were in fact comparable to what one might experience at a moderately priced chain restaurant.
The wait staff performance was excellent, the wine list extensive and the menu had great however the food was significantly overpriced
We will not return
We were here for dinner. The food was average and the service was OK. It was a week night so there were not many customers. The wine selection was OK. Nothing impressive at this restaurant.
Went in the evening with a bunch of friends and enjoyed it very much. It did not have seating for so many of us so we sat at different tables.
The food was good but a bit over priced. wine was expensive, but good selection.
Outdoor seating available.
We held a company party here with wine/beer and heavy apps. The event staff was very good to work with. The room was ready for us when we arrived and the staff made sure that our drinks and plates had plenty to put on them. The food was quite good. I haven't eaten here as just a patron yet, but...
We have been long time fans of Mia Francesca in Chicago and even had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at the restaurant on Clark Street in Chicago. Once we moved to NC, we tried Mia Francesca in North Hills several times, but left disappointed each time. Today, finally, we had a meal that truly seemed to reflect the home-cooked food...
I saw a TV commercial on this restaurant, boasting AUTHENTIC Italian food from the North of Italy. The commercial peeked my curiosity and I went online to look at the restaurant's web site. Immediately, I noticed their lack of knowledge of Italian geography. Tuscany is considered the center, not north of Italy. The north starts after Bologna. That should have...
Sunday night wasn't that busy so slow service wasn't understandable
Menu was ok but specials left little to desire - lamb soup because 'a lot was left over from last weekend' was not an expected answer
caprese Salad was good but my pasta was a mix match and bacon over cooked
My friend's chicken was over cooked and dry
I...
We really enjoyed our spaghetti bolognese and penne dishes. Excellent and huge serving of olives! Wine choice was good and the service was great.
good food and fun place. very fresh. staff isnt very professional but the food is great. Dessert is great- cheesecake!
Best item on the menu is spaghetti and meatballs by far. I have had the lasagna and it is so so.
If you are in North Hills and want a good italian meal this is the place to go. The service is always good and there is great atmosphere.
Recently had brunch here. I ordered their version of eggs benedict. Sadly, they overcooked the poached eggs. It took me too much time to call over the wait staff to send them back. I needed to wait and I didn't want my wife's meal to get cold. Coffee could have been hotter.
I was also perplexed as to why we...
Our standard for authentic Italian food is the North End of Boston, MA. Our transplanted daughter has been searching for fine Italian food for a while now. All 7 of us were all very pleased with our dining experience. The lamb meatball appetizer is worth raving about. The Caesar salads were least successful of the evening...the romaine was crispy, but...
Upon arrival, I wondered if we had made a mistake coming here. The hostess was not with the mostess. No smile or feeling of welcome. However, our server, Ashley, was wonderful - smiling, attentive, and friendly. The food was quite good. The Ceaser salad was excellent. The winter risotto was creamy and flavorful - but had summer squash instead of...
We come here several times a year. Love the location, ambience and food. Try the Spaghetti Bolonese and add the meatballs. Very very good! Service a plus.
We arrive at 5:30PM for a early Sunday Dinner. We were one of the first customers to arrive and the service was great. The food of excellently prepared and presented but more than anything ... it was served with a smile! The first time was the best of time and I certainly hope it continues!:-)
Noisy place for over priced food. Me and my wife had fried calamari for appatizer, it was very oily and over portion. Both of us had pizza which was not flavourful at all, seemed like topings were just thrown on top. We also tried their house wine, which was also over priced for an average wine.
The day after Christmas several family members dined at Mia Francesca Trattoria, conveniently located to the Marriott Renaissance in Raleigh. The atmosphere was convivial, the decor attractive and rustic, the service excellent. Most of all, we enjoyed salads, mussels, grouper, salmon, meatballs and spaghetti, profiteroles and Illy coffee. Although it was a large, bustling place, the noise level...
I ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese and it was disappointing. The dish wasnt prepared well and the quantity was excessive. The staff however at the hotel was polite and courteous. We tried this place as it was next to the hotel we were staying in. The overall experience was average.
Came is with 4 people on a Sunday night. The place was not half full and we did have reservations. The service was slow between the salads and entrees. Two people ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese. We had asked for whole wheat pasta which was not served. We did not want to wait for another dish. This dish was like a...
The food is good. We had spaghetti bolonese. But I'd wait till the holidays are over as there are lots of big noisy tables. Menu choices good. Wine specials on Monday.
My wife and I went here for what was promoted as a special Thanksgiving. We made a reservation through Open Table and arrived early. Despite arriving before our reservation time we were not seated until a half hour later. We did not get to eat until about fifty minutes after our reservation time. The place was crowed and very noisy....
I just happened to come across Mia Francesca for my rehearsal dinner online, and I am so happy with our choice! Their prices were extremely reasonable, and the service was amazing. We went and looked at the rooms (we chose the second story room that looks over the restaurant) and decided to go with a family style dinner. They bring out 2-3 choice for each course and everyone at the table can...
My girl friend and I ate there on a Thursday night. We ate out side thinking we could hear the beach music. Wrong, their music was louder.
The food was good. We will be going back. They put coupons in the coupon books students sell at all the schools which makes it a real steal. We bought one this year....
This restaurant is next to the Renaissance Hotel in the North Hills Shopping area of Raleigh.
We found the food and service to be very good. House wines are excellent for the money.
Of special note was the unique presentation of the salmon with crab and mushrooms. Truly a superb dish! Seafood pasta dish was good but not outstanding. Also...
we have been in Mia Francesca's on several occasions and have had varying experiences. The food on this occasion was ok and the service was very good from our waitress. On this night, we had a party of 4 adults each of whom had dined here before, so we were familiar with the menu.
My wife and I ordered the...
For starters, don't overlook the salads. The lentils with goat cheese and the fresh asparagus are excellent. Add a protein to either one of them and enjoy it as a meal. For appetizers, the calamari is a very nice portion with tasty sauces. Although the flatbreads are attractive with unique ingredients compared to other local places, skip to the entrées...
So let me start by saying the decor is very nice. However the set up they have in the dining room is a little congested, maybe that had to do with the many large groups out that evening but it was weird nonetheless.
We had a large group of folks and our backs was facing some crying baby.As the night...
We love this place.The food is fresh and home made. The servers are always courteous and knowledgeable about the food and how it's prepared. The chef has an abundance of talent! We love all of this about this restaurant plus the atmosphere. I would call it chic meets rustic!
It's a must visit in the North Hills Shopping Mall!!!
This place has low lighting and a true Italian feel. If you aren't afraid of heights, the second floor has a great view. The food is amazingly awesome and the waitstaff is courteous and knowledgable. Can't wait to go back!
Mia Francesca is a spacious restaurant attached to the Renaissance Hotel, with an upscale yet rustic feel to the inside. It’s decked out with large booths and lots of rich wood, but also with lots of natural light in the space. The bar is decked with brick archways and seems like a nice place to meet a friend.
...
I cannot even express how fantastic our experience was with Mia Francesca. The food was phenomenal, the event coordinator (Justin) was incredibly easy to work with, the cost was reasonable, and the staff was amazing. We chose to do a limited menu and add in a pasta course (4 courses total) and selected one of the beverage packages. Our 46 guests were seated at 7 round tables in the downstairs...
This is a great Italian restaurant in Raleigh. I've taken my employees here for dinner, and my wife as well for Valentines. Great food and a really nice atmosphere.
