Francesca's Italian Kitchen

This is the most authentic and best Italian food we have discovered in Vero Beach. The food is cooked fresh and flavored delectably. Great value too. We have tried many Italian restaurants in the area. Francesca's never disappoints.

This is a “go to” family owned Italian restaurant in Vero Beach. It is not fancy and the meals come out fast, but the food is excellent. They have a nice wine list and serve some canned cocktails. The pasta is homemade and is delicious. The owner/chef is in the kitchen and makes sure each meal comes out as good as it can. The prices are reasonable and there is plenty of parking on the street. In warm weather, they have a large patio outside. We come to Vero Beach every February and look forward to eating at Francesca's.

Great food with an extensive menu. I had the veal saltimbocca and it was delicious, veal very tender. They have a wonderful Caesar salad and fresh warm bread. Service was attentive but not overly bearing. This is a small restaurant so you must make reservations early.

Excellent dinner and terrific service. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and starters. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Small restaurant with a lovely outside seating area close to the beach. The food was good but not excellent. The prices are very good compared to other Italian restaurants in Vero. Veal pizzaola was tastier than veal marsala. The bruschetta was good but needed more fresh basil

Everyone absolutely loved their dinners. Shared the calamari and shrimp appetizer, which were great. Service was excellent. We ate outside on the patio, which has a great vibe.

Dinner for 4 on a beautiful patio. Calamari was good, but too much breading, which fell off when forked. Raylyn, waitress got one order wrong. Veal & Branzino were too salty. Branzino was not as expected , menu descriptions was poor. Wine was very good. Will not be returning. Should have known when we entered, there was only one other table of guests.

Everything that we tried was outstanding. We both had the Caesar salad s and the pasta dishes were outstanding.

Excellent food and great service. Both my wife and I ordered different pasta entrees and they were delicious.

My wife and I recently dined at Francesca's Italian Kitchen and were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. The menu offered a variety of authentic dishes (except pizza), and everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. The standout was the calamari—perfectly cooked, lightly crisped, and seasoned just right. It's a must-try. We left feeling satisfied and appreciated. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality Italian cuisine at an reasonable price with exceptional hospitality.

Location is great, food is mediocre. I was told that if I wanted a tonic water o would have to pay for a gin and tonic. WTH??? And that came directly from the owner. He was completely alone in the kitchen, which delays everything. We were not impressed by the food. Won't be back.

Decided to try Francescas again after a few years. we were very pleased with the dining expereince, The service was excellent, the food was great and the patio dining made it perfect. Higly recommend the Mediteranean Pasta. Defineteky back on our go to list.

Delicious made from scratch food! Amazing how you can see the ONE chef/owner doing all the work and how he handles so many tables so well! We thought we'd have a long wait on our food but he was FAST and so very good! Waitress really work as a team with the chef and you can tell have all been together a while! Great dinner spot with amazing food, great people and easy to get to. A must visit in Vero beach!

The fact that everything is made from scratch in an open kitchen really surprised us. The only reviews were fantastic, so our expectations were very high and they surpassed them. Portions were large and prices for what was delivered were excellent. Service was friendly yet professions. The had excellent expresso unfortunately no Capuchino's or Lattes. We were too stuffed to even look at the dessert menu; we are going again this week to try other items maybe we will at least have room to look at the dessert menu.

Another great experience at Francesca's. Each entree was served fresh and warm. Calamari, crunchy and the best around. Love the new decor.
