What People Are Saying About Francesco's Restaurant
The Editor

The Scene – Run by the Caltado family since 1968, and renovated in 2005, this restaurant and pizzeria is a neighborhood favorite. A checkerboard floor and glass, lantern-style lamps set a family-friendly tone. Half the restaurant is devoted to a takeout, with a traditional pizza counter and sidewalk window, while the other half offers waiter service. Pizza toppings stick to the basics--you won't find any pancetta here--but entrees offer a few surprises like stuffed roast pork and an extensive seafood menu.

Place is awesome
by Rasta1
Go for the steam table- excellent chicekn, veal, pork, fish, vegetables, salad... Place is great. BUT no credit card thing is annoying and out of date. Might as well just put up a sign outside asking the IRS to give them an audit. The whole Carroll Gardens wise guy thing with not taking credit cards has vastly improved. Nino's is still a hold out though.
- Pros: Steam Table
- Cons: No credit cards, pl...ease

Awesome Food & Staff
by weeziebella
Not only is the food delicious the staff is nice and informative. From the wide variety of pizza by the slice to the selection of hot food, everything I've ever had here was great! I'm glad that the quality of Nino's food has remained the same but much more variety has come into play.
