The service and food is great! Unfortunately, the restaurant uses plastic dishware, which takes too much away from the quality, especially for the menu prices.

Francesca’s has the best eggplant I’ve eaten in 10 years and maybe ever. This is my favorite food and it’s good to know a restaurant in Vero Beach knows how to prepare it. The ricotta cheese between cutlets (not dried out or mealy) was a masterstroke. Everything was cooked perfectly. They make their own pasta in house and all the meals are cooked out of a small kitchen by one chef, who might be the owner-operator.

Thrilled to find Francesca’s nearby. Expected a little pizza place and found exceptional pasta. Started with a fresh and generous antipasta salad and velvety arincini with rich tomato sauce and a nice crunch. But holy moly, the carbonara was a show stopper. Real, rich, quality carbonara as it was intended. Lasagna was very good as well but I’d come back again and again for the carbonara. I never order spaghetti and only ordered after seeing the traditional preparation. So glad I did. Oh, and piping hot bread with whipped butter, yum, and a small but fair wine list.

Absolutely the best meal we had anywhere in Florida. When on vacation, we eat at Italian about 75% of nights (vegetarians). Ate at Sarasota’s top 2 rated Italian places and Delray’s top. None of them compared. Get a table outside, inside is not quite as nice. ambience. Great waiter Mike!

Went to Francesca’s with my son on Easter. I was so Happy they were open and there was no wait. Food was very good and made from scratch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. Location is Amazing. I highly recommend this place.

I originally wrote this as a message or email to the restaurant. However, they do not advertise any way for the public to contact them privately, except by ph. This makes sense, as it seems to be the atmosphere of the place when you are there, avoidance apathy and non communication.

My husband and I were planning on going to another local Italian resturant today, however they were closed so we decided to try Francesca’s. Lucky for us the other resturant was closed. We had such a pleasant time. Our server, Mike (ask him about his fantastic fishing experiences) greeted us with a big smile and was very attentive and friendly. The owner was also very gracious and friendly. Our meal was delicious and plentiful. My husband had the Penne Vodka dish and I had the Eggplant Parmagiana, both were very good. We also tried for the first time Arancini, very tasty ! Previous reviews mentioned “plastic” dishes, which they are not. They are Melamine and are very sturdy and have a modern organic look, not offensive or cheap at all as the reviews state. If you are looking for a fine dining experience, this is not your place, you are in a beach town. The decor is perfect for this area. Clean, neat, and inviting. Perfect for casual wear. The exterior patio seating is very desirable with the umbrella covered tables. We will definitely go back to Francesca’s when we are back in Vero Beach.

I went there for the first time last weekend. Sat outside which was delightful. They have tables with umbrellas.

I have never been able to try lasagna in any other restaurant until I ate it here. For me it is the best Italian restaurant I have been in years. Fresh food with exquisite flavor, check at the moment. A spectacular deal!!! and divine music.

So good! I had the eggplant parm. It was prepared a bit differently than what I’m used to (ricotta cheese was added) and just delicious. My husband had lasagne and thought it was great. Waitress was so nice (thanks Stacy) and we loved the outdoor seating. Just watch out for the cannoli… they’re dangerous!
