    Francesca’s homemade Italian never disappoints. We had a lovely dinner on the patio. Wine, food and service were excellent as always. Lasagna, chicken Milanese and Arugula pesto were all amazing. We’ll be back!

    Very small inside with two tables almost in the entry. Outside seating may be the way to go. Food was good as was the service!

    From curbside view we thought it was a beautiful looking restaurant. So we made reservations. Once arrived we walked in to see it’s was not too high end looking inside, but figured we’d judge it by the food. We were seated outside which was better than the inside, but cheap plastic top tables… and someone blasting their car stereo in the parking lot across the street… not ideal… Then the food arrives, i ordered the sea bass. It was covered in red sauce and risotto, and was in a bowl. It was more like A fish stew . Taste? Nothing to write home about. Wife had ravioli and my coworker has the Veil, all very disappointed. Then the check came. $140 without tip. Wow. $160+ for a meal that I would describe as sub par… Won’t be back.

    Full disclosure - we dine here whenever we visit Vero and have enjoyed the delicious food and friendly attentive service since Francesca!s opened its doors. A hidden gem serving up fresh made to order plates. Affordably priced, great location, outdoor terrace dining - always a delightful dining experience.

    We went for our parents anniversary, sat outside on their outdoor patio. Allowed dogs which was great! The service was great, friendly by hostess and staff. We arrived at 630pm so we arrived at the rush time of service so getting our dinner not as fast. We got Fried Calamari which was great because they were real and the Fried mozz fritters also delish! Fresh hot bread was great! Food was great too, their pasta was freshly made. Would go back again! Definitely make a reservation.
