2 vegan green thumbs up!
First of all, as a vegan I know I can walk into any Italian restaurant and get a vegan meal, no problem. But, if I can get the type of dish that I got on my last visit....I'm over the moon.
I didn't see anything on the menu that fit the bill for me aside from pizza, so I asked my waiter Jonathan if the chef could create a vegan dish for me. I appreciate it when the waiter knows exactly what I am after. He suggested a pasta dish with lots of fresh vegetables in garlic and olive oil. I know....it doesn't sound like anything special, but the vegetables were top of the line, super fresh, and this dish had amazing flavor.
The veggies were squash, broccoli, mushrooms, tomato, peppers, eggplant & topped with pine nuts.
My husband is also vegan/vegetarian, and his choice was a veggie pizza loaded with fresh spinach, artichokes, etc.
All in all an excellent meal in a lovely atmosphere with great service. I wish I lived closer- I would visit Francesca's more often!
