    Beautifully located in Windhoek. I ordered the crayfish and was blown away at how it was well prepared and seasoned. Their oysters were also fresh. Loved their panna cotta

    Great atmosphere, the host amd staff are very friendly and professional. Food options: one better than the next. Not a vast variety but still hard to make a decision. The octopus is very good. Never feels like enough and a fresh variety of oysters. #SameTimeNextWeek

    An impressive, tailored restaurant that has ample indoor as well as outdoor dining space. They charge a corkage fee depending on the wine brought. They serve a specially prepared menu for groups larger than 15.

    The food was outstanding, the service was great, the owners was so hands on, just a note Mondays it is empty so I can not comment on the atmosphere, there was some shortage as well of the menu but the owner set the expectation before we looked at the menu, but it is definitely worth the try. 😊 the food is plated so well and the it tastes as good as it looks.

    Food was good, unfortunately the waiter was alone so had a lot to do and we had to wait for the orders..

    Lovely restaurant, very cozy interior, garden truly invites you to sit down and take a moment. Had the sole prepared in a butter lemon sauce - excellent! Pay a visit, have cocktail or a glass of champagne 🍾

    About time that Windhoek has a restaurant of this quality! The food is excellent and the chef offers his specials based on what he has prepared for the day, what a delight!! Service is great and attentive but not in your face so you can enjoy a romantic dinner uninterrupted. The foodies out there must try a great restaurant well worth the spoil! Priced well for the quality and worth it!

    Woow Francesco restaurant gave me one of the best service i have ever received in windhoek 🥰🥰 they are very much involved with their clients, the owner of the restaurant is very kind and friendly and she talks to all clients. Vibes: if you want a romantic night out just dress 👗 up and head to Francesco restaurant Food: the food is amazing 😉 its a little pricy ranging from N$ 190 - 260 but this is absolute classic dining so its worth it and ow the food is really nice 👍 Waiters: Very friendly staff Waiting period: we did not wait long for the food we were enjoying the atmosphere without even realizing we ordered food 🥘 Parkings: There are plenty of car parkings for everyone Booking: It can get full sometimes so it might be better to book a table before going there

    I have been out for a Little for lunch from the hospital. And it was great. Very nice service. Calamari to start very good and a filet also very nice. And the best, Thea Made a Perfect Affogato Special forme. Thanks.

    Wow what an experience! Everyone that arrived were treated as special guests, wine recommendations were excellent and some of the best selections and blends I've come across in Namibia, all at very comparable price. And the food was exceptional, served in designer fashion but enough that I could not finish my Seafood Linguini. Staff was friendly and the welcome warm. The highlight of the evening was the Crème Brule, an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives. I would recommend trying Francesco's, for an intimate evening, a special occasion or just dinner and a night out. Sitting outside under the large tree was a treat for me. Thank you for making our celebration so special💖

    Lovely and very hospitable owner. She made sure I got a delicious and filling vegan dish, even though they don't have vegan options on their menu.

  • 5/5 Martine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Italian restaurant. Very attentive owner who makes sure your meal is as he intends it to be. The menu is small, but this is refreshing in Windhoek, as you KNOW the meals will be fresh! White table cloths, big glass windows and a beautiful outside deck makes this restaurant one of the best!

  • 5/5 Hero A. 11 months ago on Google
    This is by far the BEST food we had in Namibia. Even the focaccia was amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. And also had amazing exclusive wine. The people are so nice, professional and friendly.

    A wonderful and delicious restaurant in the village. Everything we ordered was top notch. A must visit when in Windhoek.

  • 3/5 Sirka A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great seafood pasta dish. Unfortunately, my friends all didn't like their food which was bland. Food prices are also a bit steep.

  • 4/5 Monique Ferreira L. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first visit to Francesco Restaurant - really enjoyed the atmosphere, good service, and personalised attention ... loved the fact that there was attention to detail, tablecloths, flowers on the table, candle light ... yes we will go again for sure. Would recommend the fish portions be slightly larger for the price, and the seafood pasta dish requires a bit more seafood and xtra sauciness ...

  • 5/5 Deon L. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely place to go for excellent food. On the higher end of restaurants in Windhoek on price but the service and food is excellent. The owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and keeps a close eye on the service you are getting. I had the Carpaccio starter which was good but would definitely opt for the Aubergine Melanzane next time (my wife's choice). The mains of steak and Kingklip were both delicious too. Definitely recommend Francesco when you get the chance!
