On Thursday, January 9, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce hosted an exclusive networking lunch at Francesca’s on Chestnut. This event offered a fantastic opportunity for Chamber members to connect, network, and build valuable business relationships in one of the city’s most stunning venues.
Founded in 1992 by Restaurateur Scott Harris, Francesca’s Restaurants Group has grown from a small, welcoming Italian restaurant on Chicago’s North Clark Street to a restaurant group of five concepts across 25 locations and three states. Across all concepts, the multi-unit restaurant group maintains its commitment to the original restaurant’s founding philosophy of Italian hospitality—where simple food with quality ingredients and thoughtful service make a meal. Francesca’s Restaurants offer handwritten menus of classic Italian favorites in an ambiance of sophisticated comfort.
Premier Luncheons are the Chamber’s quarterly networking lunches held at Chicago’s best locations. Reserved exclusively for the Chamber’s top membership levels, these invite-only, two-hour luncheons feature curated seating, personalized introductions, and fine dining. These elements ensure that attendees leave with meaningful business leads and connections.
Thank you to Francesca’s for hosting this memorable event. Their exceptional venue, staff, and support were integral to the luncheon’s success. We look forward to many more successful gatherings in the future!
