32 years ago, on February 13th, 1992, Mia Francesca opened its doors and now the Italian eatery in Lakeview at 3311 N Clark Street, announces its grand reopening, revealing a redesign. 

The new design offers elements inspired by northern Italy's aperitivo bars, with custom arched antiqued mirrors adorning the banquette dining room. Finishes such as porcelain olive bar tiles, faux plaster wallcovering, and brass detailing contribute to the restaurant's renewed aesthetic. Paired dining chairs with Calacatta Laza marble tables, set against rich chestnut stained wood floors.

Mia Francesca features the cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio. This is showcased in its revamped menu, which blends classic options with new dishes. Diners can choose dishes like the Pollo Arrosto alla Romana, Vitello Sassi, or Pesce Bianco al Balsamico. Pasta enthusiasts will see options like Rigatoni alla Melanzane, Linguine al’ Arlecchino, and Rigatoni alla Vaccinara.

The menu also features an array of new items, highlighting seasonal ingredients and fresh vegetables including the Funghi del Bosco and Insalata Finocchio. For those seeking lighter options, the Seared Sea Scallops with anchovy and walnut vinaigrette or the Seared Hearts of Palm Provençal offer a twist on traditional entrees.

Mia Francesca is open every day for dinner
