" I can't express enough how much I enjoyed my visit to Francesco's. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a real Italian eatery. I ordered a classic margherita pizza, and it was one of the best I've had outside of Italy! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the ingredients were so fresh. Our servers were attentive and made our experience even better. I'm already planning my next visit. Don't skip the gelato for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Francesco's! The last time we were in Florida, my husband and I made it a point to visit, and we're so glad we did. The stuffed shells were divine, and the marinara sauce was rich and flavorful. The only downside was the wait time; it was quite busy when we got there. But the food made it all worthwhile, and the owner was charming and friendly. Highly recommend trying their homemade desserts too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Francesco's with my family after hearing great things, and we were not disappointed! The thin crust pizza was exceptional, boasting a perfect blend of crispy edges and a deliciously chewy center. My kids enjoyed the garlic knots, which were fluffy and packed with flavor. The owner, Frank, made sure we felt welcomed, engaging in conversation and making recommendations. It was a true Italian dining experience. Overall, we will definitely return on our next trip to Fort Myers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saying I was disappointed is an understatement. I expected authentic pasta but received something that tasted like it came from a can. The service was also quite lacking, with my waiter seeming overwhelmed and inattentive. It's a shame because the atmosphere is nice, but I can't recommend the food based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I got pizza from Francesco's, and while I thought it would be a slice of heaven, it was just average. The crust was okay, but the toppings didn’t impress me. I will admit the cheese was good, and leftovers were decent; just didn’t live up to the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for genuine Italian food in Florida, Francesco's is the place to go. We made a quick stop here and were welcomed with open arms by the friendly staff. The pizza and calzones were fantastic! The flavors were bold and representative of what you'd find in Italy. My only complaint was the long wait to be seated as it was quite busy, but after tasting the food, I understood why! " (*Curated Review*)

" Francesco's delivers an experience you won't forget. We walked in and the atmosphere was vibrant and lively, filled with the smells of cooking Italian dishes. We ordered the seafood pasta, and it was divine! Just the right level of seasoning and the portion size was great. I'll definitely return with friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)
