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!
