The menu at Francesca's Intimo changes every two weeks to utilize seasonal ingredients, and there are additional off-the-menu specials. Pasta selections may include the linguini frutti del mare, with scallops, clams, calamari and mussels in a spicy marinara sauce. The crispy roast chicken Romana, with a lemon rosemary sauce, shallots and garlic, is so popular it's always on the menu. The reasonably priced wine list features both American and Italian choices with more than 15 varieties available by the glass options.
