Owner Antonio Milone said he's always had a passion for cooking that was inspired by being in the kitchen with his grandmother.
'The Italian food is very light, it's fresh. The dough is made in-house every day. All the plates are shareable,' said Milone. 'There some other developers on 12th Street and above 12th Street area that are doing a lot of great things the next coming years and this space always kind of just missed something being in it.'
A. Francisco's is open Tuesday-Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
