Our Story
Café San Francesco
Nonna Nina has been running Cafe San Francisco for 3 whole generations. From having her daughter, Maria, her granddaughter, Vittoria and her grandson, Lorenzo as handy helpers, she is still cooking up the best pasta in Chicago “in the back.”
We are there for you if you are in a pinch for dinner and need something tasty. Give us 30 minutes and we can have food ready for 4-6 people. We also can cover any and all of your events! Whether you are throwing an intimate party or a big party, we have you covered. Our Catering Menu has great offerings for groups of 8 to 1,000 guests! Delivery available with advanced notice.
