After living around the Miraleste area for a while, my husband and I finally decided to try Francescos! Big shoutout to Francescos for being one of the only places for quick food on the hill over here!
We ordered the Francescos sub and the meatball sub. Like everyone else has said, the bread is divine! So so so fresh, we also got a baguette to go!
The sandwiches were large and very filling. The taste was good, nothing to knock your socks off but definitely satisfies your fix when you want a sub! We will be back and hope the folks of Miraleste continue to support them as well!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Katherine L.Rancho Palos Verdes, CA141Mar 3, 2024

There aren't that many good restaurant options in the immediate Miraleste area so Francesco's is such a great find! They make one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. Their customer service is courteous and prompt. Loved this spot!

Francescos is located in a mini-village (2 real estate agencies, mortgage processor, bank, liquor store, car repair) surrounded by residential area. It has a nice outdoor patio.
Shared a pizza, it was ok. Would go back if I was in the area, but would not go out of my way to visit. Agree with those who would give 3.5 starsHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Lynne H.Rolling Hills Estates, CA116497Aug 27, 2022
This is the second time we've given Francesca's a try for pizza. The first time I thought the pizza wasn't bad but it was very expensive. This time it was not only over priced, but boy were they cheap on the toppings and it was soggy in the middle. Maybe undercooked? A large three topping pizza cost $30. Seriously couldn't find more than a couple of mushroom slices on each piece. Back to Burratinos for me.

I ordered two sandwiches and a pizza for dinner and it was absolutely fantastic! The bread is crunchy and baked fresh and the pizza is the real deal! Thank you Francesco for the great food and great experience. You guys are the best!

The bread here is amazing. Pizza is really good because of the crust, however the cheese used on their pizza is pretty standard.
I have also tried their roast beef sub, and again the bread is amazing. Other ingredients were good, but not amazing. I'll still be going to Busy Bees Market in San Pedro for my sandwich fix, however this place is a solid alternate.
We like to come here to change things up, and it's always good food.
The atmosphere is top-notch. Love how they made the inside vibe feel. Whenever I come by no one has ever been rude to me, and are usually very engaging.

Not from around this area, this was the first place I saw walking out of a mechanic shop. Decided to try this place out while I waited on my truck to be serviced. Ordered the meatball and cheese sandwich, can drink and some chips. The sub came out quick, almost as if I was at a subway ordering the same meatball sub. First bite and first impression were the sauce was bland. Hardly any flavor. Bread wasn't anything fancy. Just a regular white/Italian bread. The meatballs were definitely not fresh and tasted awful. Had a really heavy starch texture and didn't taste good at all. Tasted old in my opinion. I told the staff and they just look at with a bewildered look. I told them it tasted old and had a starchy texture. Needless to say I ended up just saying it was fine and tossed the rest of the sub sandwich away in the trash. The staff didn't care to make any effort to compensate or offer something else in return. And I'm not one to demand anything. Definitely won't be spending more money here.
