    Excellent food and service. Nice restaurant with cloth table covers. The lasagna is excellent as well as the pasta with gorgonzola sauce. Located between Washington crossing and New Hope in route 32 in Pennsylvania. Nice views of the Delaware River. Ample parking near the door. An excellent choice for date night too. BYOB is a plus

    Oh yes. We loved it. Pork chop was amazing. Sixteen layer egg plant lasagna was delicious. The red sauce was perfect. Love a good byob. Service was right on. After all, the servers seemed like professional servers. Each room has a comfy, local restaurant charm. Not too noisy either. Yup...we moved francisco's to our top 5 local restaurants in our rotation.

    April 29, 2023 - on a cool rainy night we ventured out with life long friends for a nice dinner on the Delaware. Seated at a lovely table with a view of the Delaware. The place is a mix of quant colonial Washington Crossing home and a 2020 COVID expansion tent. The zone table coverage was tactical and efficient by the bus staff. Our service by "Jenny" --- who our table of four 'boomers' kept singing (quietly so as to not disturb our fellow diners) 8-6-7-5-3-oh nye eeh hy eeeh ine (just skip ahead if this make zero sense to you) was exceptional and truly made the dining experience wonderful. We BYOB'd some nice wine and I had water with lemon. And while not thinking there would be there was no corking charge (smile). The kitchen looked from he distance to be clean and obviously efficient as the packed house (and companion tent) was full and turning over with many smiling faces as we very leisurely dined. A warm and welcoming place for sure!! We split a few arugula salads (after seeing a neighboring table seeming do the same as portions here are ample). Greens were fresh and colorful. - 8/10 My wife got a Vegetable Soup that she reported was excellent and must have been so good I was not offered even a taste?? - 8/10 Our friends who had been here before had gotten the Bob's Plate before and she ordered that again. She reported as again fantastic. - 9/10 Her spouse ordered the Bouillabaisse with fettuccine that he also had had before and it was as expected a home run!!! Both left with over half the portion in a take out box. - 9/10 My wife got the Fish Francoise (fluke) with crab and sauté greens and came with smashed potatoes. She was not aware of the potatoes (which she is supposed to avoid) and asked for something else and promptly received roasted vegetables. Very enjoyable and my wife said the fish and crab were fresh and wonderfully cooked, moist, and flavorful. 9/10 I was all ready to order the simple spinach ravioli as the only visible vegetarian or vegan item which I expected since it did not so state there was cheese in the ravioli or on it. However it did have cheese so I did a little sad face and whining and Jenny quickly rattled off a rolodex of items and options and we quickly configured a roasted varied vegetable medley with my choice of pasta. I chose bowtie. As well an arrabiata spicy red sauce (meatless) that was maybe too spicy for some, but I loved it. The pasta was el dente and cooked nicely. The dish arrived fresh and hot as well. Perfect - 10/10 One negative (not considered in the ratings and of course easily fixed) is my utensils had to be replaced and were not acceptable. Just would like the manager/GM/owner to keep an eye out or have the bus staff pay a bit more attention. Net-net a thoroughly top notch dining experience and fantastic place absolutely on our save list for Bucks County for our next visit!!!
