   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.

   Small restaurant. Average food. Had to wait 15 minutes beyond our reservation time for our table. Service was good.

   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.

   If you're into speed dining, this is the place for you. The vibe of this place can be summed up by this tidbit - you're seated by the hostess, who immediately informs you that your table is booked for another diner one hour out from your reservation time. Uh, ok...and we heard the same told to the other tables near us. An appetizer? Well maybe. Dessert? Fuggedaboudit. Unless you sprint through dinner. And it's too bad, because the food was excellent - hot, well seasoned, real deal Italian. And service was on point as well. It's just not operated in a way for anybody looking to enjoy a meal, not even at a reasonable pace.
