About Us
Villa Francesco is an authentic piece of Italy situated on the outskirts of Pretoria away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by open fields with pleasing vistas, our charming country house provides a tranquil setting to enjoy delicious food for your soul, or an intimate setting for your very special wedding celebration. Have your ceremony in the gazebo in our gardens, and while your guests enjoy a drink and canapes on the fountain patio, have your photographs taken in our lovely gardens.  We cater for intimate weddings of between 80 - 100 guests. Our establishment is owner run by husband- and- wife team, Francesco and Catharine, and thus we can guarantee our closest personal attention to all the details of your special day.  We have a cottage where the bride and groom can spend their first night together. The bride can use it on her wedding day for touching up her make-up, etc.

		Our Restaurant
		We are very proud to announce that our restaurant has recently been awarded TOP 100  restaurant status in the country. At Villa Francesco we believe in the Italian concept of "La Tavola e La Vita" - the table is life! All our dishes are traditional, passionate Italian recipes which have stood the test of time! To compliment your meal we have a few selected Italian wines in addition to our selection of local wines.

		Our Food
		In true Italian style our menu is divided into four courses - antipasti, primi piatti, secondi and dolci. We encourage our guests to select dishes from all four parts of the menu, so that they can truly embrace the different textures and tastes of our authentic Italian cuisine. Our menu, whilst small, changes frequently so that we can make the best use of ingredients which are freshly available, and all our dishes are made using herbs from our own garden.
