FRANCESCANA FAMILY
Francescana Family is a the most current expression of who we are.
Yes, we are a restaurant group. We are also so much more.
First and foremost, WE are a FAMILY.
We work for and with each other, love and learn together, and together are changing the face of Italian cuisine as well as the face of the hospitality industry, showing up every day to demonstrate that we can be more inclusive, sustainable, friendly, healthy and socially conscious.
It all began in April 1995.
A small restaurant with big dreams opened in Via Stella; (the name itself, a good omen all these years). We began with dreams of Michelin stars. That race for the stars took so many more years than we imagined, so many sacrifices, and now we can say that the journey, was what taught us the most. That long pathway, is how we matured, evolved and found our voices.
