franchesco's

This Rockford restaurant has been around for over 30 years and they are always finding new ways to keep their customers coming back.

I'll happily admit that I'm a sucker for vintage film. I love old black & white movies, documentaries, newsreels, and photos, especially if they give you a look at our area's past.

I thought April 19 was just a day that I had car trouble and was super late to work, but it turns out it's a day to celebrate one of my favorite ingredients.

Combine the breathtaking beauty of Anderson Japanese Gardens and the vast depth of skill of the Franchesco’s expert restaurateurs and you get: Fresco at the Gardens.

Riley and I enjoyed a relaxing, entertaining evening as we were in attendance for the first Mandays of the summer at Franchesco's in Rockford. What are Mandays? It's an event designed with men in mind (though women are cordially invited)...
