We stumbled into Bruschetta Francesco’s late at night after a sunset tour and we were immediately welcomed in like family. We got a little sick of all the bar & grill food here in the keys so this amazing Italian restaurant was a breath of fresh air (or fresh tomato). The food was top tier quality and we were devouring everything! We loved our sweet server named Mario. He’s an amazing guy! This place was great!
Bruschetta Francesca was recommended to us by a local -Lenny. It was an excellent Italian experience! The food was amazing and the environment was so inviting and accommodating! Definitely the Best Italian food in Key West! Loved that it was on Fitzpatrick St. And not on the busy Duval St- it’s hidden Gem. The waiters ( Mario is the Best) and owners are so genuine and hospitable❤️?? This IS a MUST Stop !! You have to try this place
Fantastic Food! Off the beaten track - but so well worth it. On a side street ( Fitzpatrick) near Captain Tony’s. Complimentary bruschetta upon being seated. Owner - Francesca is there to greet you. Attentive server: Mauricio from Argentina. Pasta was Amazing!, Had the fettuccine bolognese and fettuccine with chicken, mushrooms, peas in a light cream sauce. Husband - who is a pasta aficionado says it was one of the best he’s ever had ! Go There - you will thank us ?
The beef carpaccio was the best part of our meal but that isn't really saying much. I had the squid ink gnocchi with alfredo sauce and my wife had the spaghetti pescatore with marinara even though she ordered it with white sauce. The spaghetti was slightly over cooked and the portion size was kind of obnoxious. Like it could have fed 3 people easily. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The squid ink gnocchi with alfredo sauce was a lot better but the gnocchi was flavorless and I can make a better alfredo sauce at home. I didlike our server though and he was friendly.
Great place… Best lasagna I’ve had in a long time!!
First time here!! Took my wife here for her birthday meal! Excellent food and service! Would definitely recommend stopping here while you are in Key West!! Hidden gem!
Food and service was amazing!!! I had the lobster raviolis and they were so delicious!
They have the friendliest and warmest staff! Quick and kind, and attentive. The food was amazing as well, best Italian food I’ve had. Any dish is a wonderful choice! If you’re going to eat anywhere, this is the perfect place!!
My husband and I were looking for a more private place to eat away from the hustle and bustle of Duval street. Walking by a patron said, “this place is delicious” so we decided to sit. Boy are we glad we did! What a treat! As a Italian American this was the most authentic Italian dinner I have had since my grandfathers homemade Sunday pasta dinners. The Alfredo was delicious….Cesar salad fresh and balanced. The bread was so rustic and authentic. We completely loved our meal. We will be back on our next visit. I also would like to note our server was fantastic. What a nice young man he was and our drinks never went empty! He was so polite. Awesome experience!
Forget the deep fried everything and cheap booze at happy hour in Key west and venture off track to this place. Appetizers at 1/2 price that are so deliciously Italian and splendidly presented. We had classic bruschetta ( amazing) carpaccio rucola ( sublime parmesan and delicately prepared beef and arugula drizzled liberally with olive oil, and eggplant Parmesan that rivalled any I’ve ever tasted. We shared a full order of lobster ravioli that was actually filled with delicious great lobster and a white sauce that complimented instead of drowning it all out. All this and $3 draft, $5 wine and Tony Bennet, what could be better. Forget deep fried happy hours and visit this place,
