Mia Francesca features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. It was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking, friendly service and fair prices. The space, originally a candy store, was renovated in 1992 with painstaking attention devoted to preserving as many of the original fixtures as possible. Sleek lines are softened by warm woods; the well-lit dining rooms reflect the animation of the diners; striking black and white photographs of rural Italian life by
Paul Elledge line the walls to create a comfortable, decidedly urban setting. Waiting for a table at the beautiful antique bar is part of the charm of Mia Francesca. The plush upstairs dining room can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coachhouse tucked away behind the restaurant.

Not Impressed

I do not understand the hype about this restaurant. I actually have been here for dinner three times and was never really impressed. The seating indoors seems very loud and the kitchen is opened up right to the restaurant which is distracting if you are sitting near it and servers are constantly running plates around you.
The menu is small, all the standard stuff. The pasta dishes we ordered were a very good portion size. The outdoor seating in the back can be quite lovely.
Again if you are looking for quality italian food I would go elsewhere.
