Villa Francesca is the brain child of Guglielmo Ranauro. Through his desire for perfection and pure love of the Italian cuisine, Guglielmo created Villa Francesca over twenty eight years ago. Bestowing the name Francesca after his mother, never to forget the love and wonderful food his mother always provided, while growing up just across the street from Villa Francesca.
Villa Francesca is in the North End of Boston, within the oldest Italian community in the United States.
Villa Francesca is located on the Freedom Trail just two minutes walk from the Paul Revere house.
