Squash me into that Butternut risotto! - Edit

Not bad - Edit
We went here for our first night in Christchurch. The service was good and they managed to fit us in on a busy Saturday night without a booking.
Read moreThere wasn't many vegan options. They had a couple of pizzas and a risotto. We both had the risotto which was nice but it felt like it needed something with it on the side as I was still a little hungry.
Pros: Clearly labelled vegan , Cosy vibe
Cons: Not many vegan options , Expensive for portion size

(5⭐️ but not allowed as not fully vegan) - Edit
Fantastic
Read moreThe menu is very clearly marked.
It really does cater for all dietary requirements which is superb considering it’s an Italian!
The vegan bruschetta is genius, the carrot is soaked in algae and has a beautifully smokey flavour too.
Opt for potato skins if you like crunch, so yum.
Service is great (best to book as they’re often full!)
Lovely atmosphere, I just love it.
Pros: Options across the menu (not just salads!) , Clear menu, Great staff

Most disappointed. Far too big a pizza for one person $28 and boring as - Edit
Disappointed. Boring pizza too big for one person while the carnivores around me thought their meal superb. I was the only vegan so $28 was far too big. Unable to eat half of it. Get your act together for vegans
Read morePros: Good company, Good service
Cons: Too expensive for something that poor, Only pepperoni and tomato and cheese no other veg, No option for vegan base pizza

10/10 across the board - Edit
I have dined at this beautiful restaurant twice now. Once in a big group setting for my best friends birthday and again for my anniversary. Both times were absolutely amazing. The service is always a 10/10 to me that is just as important as how the food tastes. Which my the way is also amazing. There are plenty of vegan options available across all their menus! And they are clearly labelled. Which brings me to my favourite part. There alcohol menu is also labelled. So you can insure when ordering your red wine that it is vegan friendly. 10/10 across the board for me ❤️

Finally a good Vegan 🍕 - Edit
We loved Francesca's! Very lovely atmosphere, the wait staff is kind, knowledgeable and very attentive, excellent customer service, excellent traditional italian cuisine. The place serve meat but a good option to catch up with not vegan friend, has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options between entrees, pasta dishes, pizzas and dessert, delicious sorbets for vegans with 3 choices. The staff is very friendly and helpful, when you say that you are vegan, instead of look at you like a sort of monster coming from another planet like its happens in many others not vegetarian or vegan restaurant. Also the manager was vegan and very excited to announce that more vegan choices has been planned to come soon. We will definitely be back soon!
