Andrew visits one of his favorites – Francesco’s Ristorante
February 20th, 2017.
I was challenged by The Jander Group’s Director of Property Management, Suzanne Musashe, to share one of my favorite local restaurants. There are many reasons why I chose to make my first restaurant stop Francesco’s Ristorante located at 400 S. Orlando Avenue, Maitland, Florida:
- I am Italian and love Italian Food.
- Francesco’s is conveniently located just a couple of miles from The Jander Group Greater Orlando Office in Winter Park, FL.
- The lunch menu is reasonably priced, offers tasty food, and generous portions.
- The atmosphere is relaxing.
- Personal special significance to me.
If you are hungry and near The Jander Group Greater Orlando Office located in Winter Park, Florida, I highly recommend that you visit Francesco’s Ristorante to dine on some great Italian food in a relaxed setting. There are many Italian restaurants in the Greater Orlando area, but you will be hard-pressed to find one that offers better food for the price than Francesco’s. This is a great restaurant to take a client, friend, or family as the relaxed atmosphere lends itself to actually talking with one another! I highly recommend disconnecting from outside distractions by keeping your smart phone in your pocket and enjoying the great food and your company.
If you are dining alone, you can sit at the bar and watch the chef’s prepare your food. There is a TV at the bar but you better like football (soccer) as that is the only thing I have ever seen playing there.
Now to what I ate. I ordered one of my favorites – the stromboli with the house mixed garden salad. Suzanne also ordered the stromboli (it is really good) with the ceasar salad. The stromboli is enormous and stuffed with sausage, pepperoni, onions, and green peppers. The stromboli crust is crisp yet tender and moist. You will want to keep eating it, but you will have to be famished to come close to eating it all in one sitting. Most restaurants overload their salads with dressing typically to hide the lack of freshness in the ingredients. Francesco’s house salad is delicately tossed in just the right amount of house dressing to highlight the freshness of the local greens and vegetables.
The lunch stromboli with salad is a great value at $9.95. Unless you are a huge eater, you will basically get two meals from it.
Perhaps you have only been reading to find why Francesco’s has a personal significance to me. They catered my wedding rehearsal dinner and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend Francesco’s catering services.
