In a quiet corner of Leederville at the Junction of Southport Street and Railway Parade is Francesca's Kitchen.
With easy access to free parking, this classy restaurant serves some of the most delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. The chef is very creative and the menu varies from week to week.
Friends late? Have a drink at the alfresco counter and relax before you get seated.
With excellent service, modern yet cool ambience, it's no wonder this restaurant has faithful regulars.

Found this place by googling. Decided to give it a shot on the reviews and wow. From the moment you walked in you were greeted with a friendly smile and made to feel welcome. Great selection of food. Atmosphere was cozy yet even with most tables full you could talk normally. Had the Osso bucco and rabbit with gnocchi. Both dishes were fantastic . Highly recommended coming here for a meal.

Went there for a work function. The staff were super friendly. The chef came out and spoke to us all. The food was great, had the gnocchi for mains and it was delicious. The pork belly was cooked perfectly with the crackle on the side.
There was a variety of drinks. The entres were great, multiple options. Great place for small functions.

Great restaurant in a convenient and quiet location.
The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We were made to feel very welcome, and enjoyed every aspect of dining here.
Feels like a place where the owners understand that good service really means something.
We'll be going back for sure.

Wow how fabulous is this place!! Love love love it took some interstate friends there for dinner last night, the food was so fresh and delicious. The service was amazing! I would really like to keep this place a secret but I think I need to share as it is worth a visit. Going back on Friday as it is so close to Domain Stadium, great venue to go either before or after a match. Well done guys! Great place......oh I had the snapper on a prawn risotto
Liz Archer
Fabulous personalised service. Exceptional food. Technically well executed; parpadelle ragu one of the best I’ve ever had.
A true hidden gem.
Alex Galipo
Fantastic restaurant, great vibe, location is convenient and friendly staff. I indulged in the beef steak which was cooked exactly how I asked for it. Would highly recommend and will be going back. Thanks
Teele DesChamp
Food is amazing and so is the service! Have been there few times now, yesterday we tried few different things from the menu and they were all spot on! Everyone's favourite was their risotto with braised beef cheeks even though their pasta is simply delightful! Atmosphere was really cozy and nice. Fransesca's Kitchen does not disappoint you!

Tea Pham
Great place delicious food and of course friendly service. Coffees in the morning are great too!
Laura Venn
Just finished dinner here & was one of the worst meals I’ve had in a long time. Had the ‘braised’ beef shoulder gnocchi - it was like eating an old leather boot that cost me a small fortune! Service was terrible, amongst other things we waited for over 45 minutes for our mains (it’s a small restaurant). Never. Ever. Again. I’m current enjoying a way more satisfying $6.80 cheeseburger meal.
Elaine Hill
Fantastic lunch chef Chris. Delicious home made pasta, the crumbed whiting and ever delightful Parfait. Thank you �
Jonathan MacIntyre
Everything was excellent. Great food, great service and the place was packed on a Tuesday night!

So we just entered flavour town... Birthday dinner with The Eating Club... some very excellent Italian.<br/><br/>A luscious spread incl. Liver parfait (a friend and my favourite); Pesto gnocchi (another fave); Prawn tagliatelli; Sweet pepper bruschetta...<br/><br/>And then delectable desserts (Tiramisu; Bread n butter pudding; Oreo cheesecake; Sticky date pudding).<br/><br/>We enjoyed the food waaay too much and very loudly ...then the chef came out to chat... not an elderly nonna as expected.... cough cough pleasant surprise.... Hats off to head chef Chris.<br/><br/>We.ll be going back.
Russell Cooper
Probably the best Italian meal I have had in Australia, simply devine. The service was just so perfect and friendly. The owner then came and sat with us for 20 minutes explaining his approach to cooking and service. Totally unbelievable. Its on the top of our restaurant list.
Jay Oates
Fourth time here for dinner with kids. Great quality Italian food, although I would like slightly larger servings ( it finishes<br/> too quick when you like it!)<br/>
Floyd Falconi
Excellent stylish Italian. Eaten here several times and consistently been delicious. <br/>The veal is my favorite when the whiting is the fish of the day it's a close second.<br/>Easy recommend!
Milena Skorka
Francesca's Kitchen is a really lovely place with delicious Italian- modern food options and very relaxing atmosphere, very good table service and welcoming management Triinu Cater<br/>We have really enjoyed our night out. I would love to recommend fish of the day for seafood lovers and Steak for meat lovers! Definitely worth it to explore..<br/>
Rinaldo De Paolis
I had dinner at Francesca's Kitchen last night and I highly recommend the place. The Italian sausage was the best I have had and the Vitello was out of this world. I can't wait to dine here again
Jessica Camotti
I dined here with a girlfriend last night and the food was sensational. We shared the calamari which was beautiful and full of flavour. I then moved to the Vitello which was melt in the mouth. The staff were friendly and the service was fantastic and the live jazz was amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Delicious food, fantastic service, beautiful jazz music and authentic, high quality food that reminded us of our time in Italy. Will definitely be back!
Renee Tolomeo
I've been to Francesca's a few times, and everytime I go, it's been amazing! The service is so friendly and efficient. I can never go past the specials which are always unique and so delicious! I will be back again and again, and I know it will be a great night with amazing service and different delicious food. <br/><br/>
Alexandra Desrosiers
Packed full house but still attended to quickly and often. Amazing food, got special osso bucco. Just like eating at old Italian house. Good wine selection but also a few cocktails to choose from. Loving the homely vibe it brings to the experience. Even the decor is inspiring !<br/>
Oliver
I had a great lunch at Francesca's kitchen.<br/><br/>For entree I had the Salcicca Picante (pork sausage) which was recommended by the owner, not what I would normally order but was thankful for the advice! The combination of the pork sausage egg plant and onion was sensational!<br/><br/>For mains I had the Costata Di Manzo (Beef Short Rib), the beef was dripping off the bone and the flavors were outstanding!<br/><br/>Washed down with an ice cold Peroni and a great cup of coffee, I highly recommend a visit to Francesca's Kitchen for your next lunch.
Lindsay Porter
I took an important client to Francesca's for lunch a couple of weeks ago and everything was spot on. I had the pasta with rabbit ragu which was deliciously rich and tender. My client had a barramundi special which he said was perfectly cooked. Loving the change!
Bianca Fruh
Amazing food, amazing service, what a great venue! Calamari is amazing.<br/><br/>Food is beautifully presented, plentiful and delicious. Thank you for a great dining experience!

This is a new Italian restaurant that is by the same owners who brought you ‘Tracks’ (see previous post). I think that this was a really good move changing it from a cafe to an Italian place because there are a lot of cafes in West Leederville. I love that there is now a different food option besides from sandwiches and salads. The food here is really nice! Whilst the menu is small, they specialise in good quality, homely food. When I worked in West Leederville, my colleagues and I would often come here for lunch on a Friday – and that my friend is how Fat Friday was recreated and my diet was thrown out of the window hahaha. The food here is a little bit expensive but you have to start comparing the prices to proper restaurants rather than cafes, so it is comparable to other Italian places.

Great food, great atmosphere! <br/>The linguine is a must get, along with the well put together wine list. Neil has once again done a great job and I urge anyone looking for fine Italian food to try!!
Nikki Scaffidi
Absolutely amazing food with great hospitality. Cannot rave enough about Francesca's. Gorgeous venue and the food was brilliant. We had mixed antipasto to start and the pollo and rabbit ragu for main.. The pasta is so excellent too. Well done guys, the menu is amazing.
Paul Milhench
What a great little find!!!! So want to shout from the rooftops, but would I be able to get a table again??<br/>Nonna's recipes created by an awesome chef!!!! Wait staff perfect!!!!<br/>Bellissimo!!!!!!

Looks like the people who successfully ran Caffe Bellini are back and long overdue 😃 Francescas is their new venue. First thing i noticed was the small but well put together menu offering dishes to suit all punters and a seriously good wine list. We had the calamari griglia to share followed by 2 of the most amazing prawn and crab linguine pastas . Good to have u back.
Madi.dickie
Great vibe and great service! Will definitely be coming back and cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! I had the linguine which was to die for! Would eat here very night if I could 😊🙌
Chris Italiano
Fantastic service, best calamari I've had in along time and the pasta was amazing with so many flavours. Not to mention my takeaway coffee was a highlight to, we will be back very soon!!
