FRANCOLI GOURMET ITALIAN RESTAURANT

We had been to Francoli Restaurant when they were located in Fashion Island, and have been waiting patiently for the new restaurant to open in Old Town Orange (www.francoligourmet.com/). They have a great location- right on the Plaza Square. It's really quite lovely inside, and very nicely decorated. The seating is comfortable, and the dining room has an intimate, cozy feel. They have a great menu, with a wide range of Italian dishes. The food is nicely prepared, and the service was very good.
Sweetie pie ordered the Fettucini Con Pollo-free range chicken breast with broccoli and fresh tomatoes in a light white wine sauce, topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Her mother had the Pollo Con Funghi Porcini-two free range chicken breasts in a Porcini Mushroom sauce with seasonal vegetables. I ordered the New York Steak Sandwich-with eggplant, onions and Brie (actually a nice combination).
The food was good, but not quite exciting. Everything was a little bland. Kick it up a notch guys! The 3 Tubby Tummys give tonight's Francoli dinner two thumbs up!
