   Great atmosphere at the outdoor seating during dinner time. Our Mediterranean Branzino and the Veal Saltimbocca were great having risotto as accompaniment. The service was great too.

   The food was bland and not worth the money. I expected better when the menu says everything from scratch. No flavor. I make better Italian dishes at home. Outdoor patio seating is better than indoor. It you have to deal with a lot of traffic and young teenagers yelling and screaming profanity. We will not be back.

   Food was very basic. Beef stew was a few pieces of beef (which was good) and diced potatoes covered in red sauce; not even any carrots as was listed on menu. The server rushed us through our whole meal, including asking us to sign the credit card slip while we were having dessert. We had made a reservation and had been at the table about 30 minutes when she asked for signature.

   We went to dinner for my husband’s birthday and we’re disappointed in the food. I chose to go due to good reviews but our meal was very mediocre. Our service was fine but not great.

   Nice Italian restaurant located in Vero Beach. Outside terrace was a must on a warm night. Food and service was very good.

   A very small place that only has a few tables inside. Tables are very close together. Both my husband & I had a pasta dish & both of the pastas were not cooked properly. Bread was not Italian bread but a small roll-like bread. We felt very rushed. From start to finish was 40 minutes.

    Review of Francesca's Italian Kitchen - Ocean Blvd. Went for Valentine's Day dinner. Had a table directly across from the hostess station and between the front and patio doors - not a great location but that's all that was available. Food was pretty good, acceptable portion size - Carbonara for me and Gnocchi for My Queen. Also had a side house salad, which was ok but nothing special. Our server was great - wish I remembered her name. Decor is very beachy, more suited for a cafe than an Italian restaurant. Restroom is located near kitchen area - not a great location. Prices were very reasonable - no additional fee for using CC. A return visit is not out of the question.
