What Perry Medhurst likes about Villa Francesca:
We had a great lunch at Wa Jeal. Starting with spring onion pancakes (delicious) and ending with chicken and broccoli (again delicious), the lunch menu (rice, main course and soup) was very cheap and delicious. The environment is wonderful - brick walls and pretty decorations and the service excellent. Highly recommended!! View all feedback. What Brent Bruen doesn't like about Villa Francesca:
there are no vegan-labeled items in the menu. Overall they do not understand what milk-free medium. I had to explain that butter, cheese and heavy cream are diary for the waiter in English and Spanish, so I'm pretty much it's not a language edition. it was a lot to understand with the waiter what the cook could do to bring a vegan meal. the waiter brought another waiter to talk to me. such a big deal....all goofy. th...

My wife had spaghetti and meatballs and I got the lasagna. Both were really good, the Gravy (sauce) was delicious. Our best meal this trip to Boston.

Villa Francesca, a cozy restaurant located in the North End, offers a delicious dining experience with attentive service. While some may find the parking situation a bit challenging, the food and atmosphere make up for it. The menu may not be vegan-friendly, but they are willing to accommodate special requests. The lobster ravioli is a standout dish, and the wine list is impressive. The intimate dining room and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere for a memorable meal. Overall, Villa Francesca is a top choice for those looking for a great dining experience in the North End.

The basement reeks of old food and is very hot. Made the fact that the food was tasty hard to enjoy. Would only ever go back if I knew I was to be sat upstairs.
