Located in the heart of Rockford, Abreo is focused on creating an inspired dining experience. Our chef Paul Sletten and his team of chefs work hard to continually create, reinvent and push the envelope of our concept of dining. We are proud to serve original and seasonal menus that are sourced heavily from local farmers along with a variety of premium import suppliers. Abreo has four unique dining areas including a newly remodeled bar, private dining room, outdoor garden patio, and a private wine cellar. Dining at Abreo can be as varied as the weather; a formal dinner with close friends or loved ones goes just as well as a quick bite before or after a show.  Reservations are not necessary, though they are recommended.

Famiglia. It is not difficult to understand the necessity of family in everyday life, but to experience its impact on our family’s business is short of incomprehensible. Having witnessed the countless friendships and relationships that were formed over the years, plainly, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career in the restaurant business. Since 1986 when Franchesco’s first opened, the combination of friendly family atmosphere, old world recipies, and superior service have catapulted our venue as one of the top restaurants in the Rock River Valley. With great thanks and gratitude to my family as well as our restaurant family for our last 22 years of support, we promise to continue to strive towards excellence. Beauty, innovation, and culinary perfection only begin to describe the new Franchesco’s Ristorante. A new generation of Salamone’s, with our old world traditions and newly acquired skills and knowledge, will continue to strive foward in our quest to better serve the public. The Salamone family proudly invites everyone to our new home for an unforgettable experience as we venture into the future with high expectations for a growing family. Our wine cellar is comprised of a large variety of some of the finest wines from around the world. Included are some of the award winning Chiantis, Brunellos, Super Tuscans, Amarones, Bordeaux’s, Cabernets, Meritages, Merlots, Melbacs and a few verticals and partials of very selected award winning wines such as Cinq Cepages, Silver Oak, Opus One, Duckhorn, Caymus, and Cakebread. Let us help you find that special bottle which fits your taste and makes your dining experience a memorable one.
