Smile Francesca's

The group that started with Mia Francesca on Clark in Chicago has opened a new restaurant in Dundee called Francesca's Campagna. We had a really good experience there and would recommend it. I'd also like to recommend the Fox Valley area (especially Elgin or Dundee) to Chicago chefs looking to open a new restaurant or spinoff of an existing place. The area is really ripe for some good food. Francesca's was packed, as was Zaza Cucina that same night. There are 2 microbreweries in Elgin and Dundee, but we need some more casual but cool restaurants! Like Deleece, Carol!!!! I moved out from the city 3 years ago and since that time 3 good restaurants have opened and they all seem to be doing very well. Also a really excellent bakery would be HUGE out here. The city of Elgin has worked with businesses in the past to get them to relocate to downtown Elgin.

Talking

hey Linda, what a nice compliment. Thanks. Actually, a friend of mine and I are looking for another location. I'm not sure where to go, so maybe I'll look out there. sorry I didn't respond earlier, I've been on vacation in hawaii and decided after I do another restaurant here I'm heading out there. Food in Paradise.... can't get much better.
Thanks again.

Default Francescas Veal Recipe

There is a restaurant in Chicago called Mia Francesca's. They have the most outstanding veal in a wine sauce. Does anyone know how to make that veal, or at least the delicious sauce? Thanks!
