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!

So happy I stumbled upon this place. The food here is AMAZING. One of the best Italian meals I’ve had. The complimentary bruschetta was delicious and the special of the day - a vegetarian lasagna with spinach, zucchini, and ricotta cheese was one of the best, if not the best, lasagna I’ve ever had. So fresh, creamy, melt in your mouth pasta. The portion size was enough for 2 meals. Highly recommend eating here if you crave Italian food in Key West!

Great fresh food! Francesca has a love for great flavors and creating the ambiance. The restaurant was opened during the Pandemic as a dream of hers and man was I glad we stopped in. The wine was also amazing so be sure to check out her wine selections. We had pizza and omg! Fresh fresh fresh with fast service. The establishment is clean and decorated so lovely. We will be back!

Service and ambiance were an absolute 10. My kids were exhausted and demanded pizza and we were lucky enough to stumble by this place. Great pizza and calamari. We sat downstairs but upstairs had a really nice bar area. Would reccomend for drinks or for food with a family.

There homemade pasta was the best, nice atmosphere too. Wondered if the food would live up to it's price but it more than did. Enjoyed the Chicken Parmigiana with best Spaghetti ever while my wife had Chicken Marsala and brushetta. We shared out of this world Tiramisu.

The charm of the owner, ambience and delicious food make this a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of DeVol Street. The happy hour is excellent, and I had the Pollo marsala, which was divine.

Beautiful unknown gem in Key West. Amazing Italian food and a great atmosphere. Friendly staff and lots of authentic options!!! We have been here 3 times over the years and it only gets better.

Randomly found this gem!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the BEST pizza I’ve had in a long time. We started with their complimentary freshly made bruschetta. I had the Sicilian (basically a Margarita) pizza. Thin, crisp crust, fresh chopped tomatoes with basil seasoning and seasoned chopped tomatoes. I didn’t want a large salad so they made me a half insalata misto salad with tons of Kalamata olives, basalmic dressing, fresh mixed greens and more fresh chopped tomatoes. Definitely on my “must return to” list to try their main dishes. Fantastico!!!

Quaint Italian Restaurant, located just off Duval Street, offering a great atmosphere, excellent food and top notch service. We've dined here twice in the past two weeks and loved it both times. The staff and owner are so accommodating and helpful with food and wine selections. The restaurant itself is cozy and offers indoor and outdoor seating. Thank you Francesca for this great addition to Key West! We will be your new regulars.

Found Bruschetta Francesca while walking to Mallory Square. Was originally going to just have a small appetizer but we ended up spending the remainder of our night there. The staff and owner were fantastic and made us feel welcome. Best Italian food I’ve ever had no contest. The lobster ravioli was phenomenal and the key lime pie deserves a gold medal. Prices were very reasonable but the experience itself was priceless. Highly recommend!!

We were walking by, across the street, looking for some place to have supper, when the host yelled for us to come on in, so we did. My husband ordered calamari, I ordered fettuccine Alfredo, and my daughter ordered plain buttered spaghetti noodles. The bruschetta was delicious, as were our entrées. My daughter even tried my Alfredo and she loved it.

Authentic Sicilian in Key West. Follow your nose and your ears just steps off the beaten path of Duval. Bruschetta Francesca changes your whole day. From wine tasting with the owner Francesca to singing at the bar with your friends and family you’ll savor fresh, hand made pastas, secret family sauces and classic Sicilian deserts with a twist. Laughter, singing, hugs and handshakes with your truly special new friends make you want to come back day after day. Sicily in Key West!

OMG. . . . Service amazing. The rice ball was so cheesy. So good. And the lemon cello was so fresh. I mean I'm zero Italian but I've spent some time in Italy and this is deliciosa. FYI I was there for happy hour. I did not have a full meal. I'll be back for dinner.

Wonderful experience! Such a cute place, very authentic. The owner and staff are super sweet and the atmosphere is adorable. Tuesday’s they have a special of all homemade pastas, it was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommended.

Well the place is a little cheesy. They wear cheap looking little hats and the owner seems very full of herself with a picture of her face on everything. BUT she is a sweetheart! She is proud of herself for owning that business and to each their own. I see the reviews saying it was dirty, but I saw a clean establishment! They gave complimentary bruschetta bread that was delicious. They let me order a small version of one of their large salads on menu. The homemade lobster raviolis were perfect! I would eat here again!

The food was amazing and tasty! Autentic sicilian food, I ate a Lasagna and one tiramisu with a capuccino. The server Ignacio was so nice. I recomend you this place if you want have a really good dinner!

I came into this place thinking I was grabbing a slice of pizza or some carbs to soak up some of the alcohol from Duval street. After talking to the chef I was talked into trying a special of theirs with a few add ons like grouper and lobster and shrimp. This is the best Alfredo sauce I’ve had and the lobster was PERFECTLY cooked. And the grouper was amazing and the shrimp were great. I was so impressed. I felt like a celebrity receiving a special treatment I suggest this restaurant to anyone and everyone. This is the best meal I’ve had in key west and I’ve been here for 6 days.

Wow! I stopped in after hearing about this place and I’m glad I did. I ordered the fried eggplant, chicken marsala, and the tiramisu. Everything was incredibly fresh and well made. Although I think the fried eggplant had a bit much sauce, it didn’t stop me from eating it up. The pasta was very good. You can tell they make it homemade. I highly recommend this establishment.

Went here as we have passed this place dozens of times. We wanted to love it but we can’t. The calamari and and the chicken parmigiana was just ok. I had high expectations since the owner is from Sicily. On the flip side, the owner and staff were very friendly.

This place is GREAT for seafood. I was skeptical at first- I’m in Key West, why eat Italian? But I promise it’s worth it. We had their seafood trio, lobster, red snapper and shrimp which was so good. The shrimp were so fresh you could taste the sweetness, the red snapper was cooked to perfection with a slightly crispy edge and tender meat. Dianna was a wonderful attentive waitress and it was really worth the stopping in. And you know this place is honest because when the bill came they have suggested tips on the price before tax instead of after, which most places in a tourist town like this would try to gouge you as much as possible. I really think this place is a true find here on the island.

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.

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
