Had dinner at Bruchetta last night. everything was spot on from the mocktail and Becks NA to our Gelato dessert. We shared the Classico Bruchetta, the TRIO and the Gelato. We had the Trio with Picante that was spot on. The shrimp and fish were great but the surprise was the size and tenderness of the spiney lobster tail. The Sicilian spaghetti was another surprise. I am not a pasta lover and this was so good. our server Jimmy was very helpful and his recommendations sealed the deal. This is not cheap but worth it. I will gladly come again next year.

Awesome place! The food is really really good, and the atmosphere is amazing, bringing Sicilian vibes all over. We were a party of 6 and reserved beforehand and that’s really useful here because it was full to the brim! I recommend the chicken milanese it was really nice and juicy, and server Tasha was also great, checking up on us every once in a while. Great place to eat!

This is hands down the best Italian that I've had outside of Italy. For me, the sauce makes or breaks an Italian restaurant, and the sauce here was excellent (I had Lasagna, which was outstanding). The Sicilian themed atmosphere leans heavily on Hollywood, but it's fun and quirky. Service was attentive, even though our server was clearly new. I would definitely come here again and highly recommend it.

Yummy food! Loved the gnocchi and eggplant caponata was delicious. The server was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Kid friendly. Highly recommended for vegetarian options. Sangria was fruity.

Small and cozy, just what you would expect if you were in Southern Italy! We went on Christmas day, so it was very busy. The pasta was lovely, and the grilled octopus was the best we've ever had! The entire staff was amazing, very attentive. Our waiter Jimmy was superb; we waited and wanted for nothing even on this very busy evening. He was so friendly and warm and made us feel like we were eating with old friends, he was a real gem!

We are so happy we found this place! The food was excellent—fresh and authentic. We ordered Chicken Piccata and Linguine bolognese. The vibe is cozy, eclectic, and humorous—very Key West. There are plenty of touristy restaurants with basic food here, but this isn’t one of them. This will be our new go-to Italian spot in Key West. ❤️

We had a lovely dinner . Very understanding with 3 kids under 5 & 7 adults. Our waiter, Jimmy, was very attentive and personable. Tasha was also very helpful with helping with the little ones with special sippy cups :)

My husband and I both agree this is the best food we have ever had. Not just Italian food - the best food, ever. I had ravioli with ricotta cheese and a meat sauce and he had the lasagna. Normally we share food at every restaurant that we go to and after reading reviews and talking to some of the locals we decided to each get a different dish to try. We have been to Key West several times and this was our first time to try it. Our only regret is that we ate it on our last night, bc had we stayed longer I’m not sure we would eat anywhere else. It was that good. The staff is super friendly and make you feel so welcome. The atmosphere goes right along with the food - amazing. Definitely worth trying out for yourself when you go to Key West!
I lived in Sicily for 3 years back in the early 2000s! What a delight it was to literally stumble upon this place after watching the sunset at Mallory Square! The food was beyond outstanding (literally the best lasagne I’ve had in 17 years). The family who runs the place is welcoming and delightful. If you want authentic Italian food while you’re in Key West, Bruschetta Francesca is the place to go!

As The Son Of The Almighty Father, Jesus Christ, The Formal Establishment, Bruschetta Francesca, With Deep Sicilian Native Roots Is The Finest And Most Authentic Italian Dining In The City Of Paradise, Key West. The Food Is Exquisite And Has The Most Choice Dishes On Their Menu. Consider Trying The Pappardelle Boscaiola, Sicilian Pizza, And Vitello Parmigiana. Don't Forget About The Cannolis! The Entire Staff Works And Feels Like Family From The Moment You Enter The Doors And Worthy Of Thy Praises. Happy Holidays And Best Wishes! ❤️🌲⭐

This is one of the best Italian places I have ever been to and I’ve been to my fair share Italian restaurants in NY! We ordered the Arancini app, ricotta ravioli with bolognese and the gnocchi sorrentina and would highly suggest them all (especially the gnocchi- wow). The staff was extremely friendly and made you feel like part of the family, and the atmosphere was super cozy. Our waiter, Jimmy, was very attentive, kind and made our experience that much better. You definitely don’t want to skip this place!
