Reviews for Francesco's Italian Restaurant, Deli, Bakery, and Pizzeria in Fort Myers Beach, FL

Delivery was prompt. Salad was fresh, muffuletta bread very fresh. The pizza crust however was not crispy and I think that?s... because it?s not thin enough. We got the veggie pizza and it was loaded?those artichoke hearts were great. I would definitelyrecommend this place. UPDATE:changing this to 5 stars. We had Stromboli from here last night?I want to take this place homewith me! Salad was very fresh again. Stuffed mushrooms were great also. What a gem. Read more

Pizza was terrible, just get Digiorno and you?d be better off. Our 25 min wait took an hour. Chicken parm was terrible, no sauce... and no taste. Hoagie was the best out of all 3 but still pretty sad Read more

Stromboli was so good. The daily meatball special was great also. $10.99. We ate in. We would highly recommend if you like... authentic Italian food. Read more

We stopped by for our last dinner in Fort Meyers Beach! The crew here is great and very attentive. It takes a bit of time to get... your food, but it's worth the wait! The garlic knots were delicious! My husband and I both got stromboli, which were excellent.I found the sauce was a little too pepper flavored - I prefer more of a traditional tomato, but my husband loves peppers so heenjoyed it a lot. We got cannoli to go and they were worth the price. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner ifyou're in the area! Read more

Excellent! We had fried beef ravioli, garlic knots, pizza and cannolis. So flavorful and delicious. Best meal we have had on the... island. Read more

My wife and I dined in on a whim while vacationing from Ohio. We ordered Penne pasta, a meatball sub and Ministrone soup. It was... absolutely fantastic. The pasta was al dente with a spicy red sauce. The meatballs were perfect, There was just the right amountof cheese, and it was a more than generous portion. My wife loved the meatball sub and ministrone. It was also a huge portionwith great flavors. The bun wasn?t soggy and it had a good meat to bread ratio. On the way out we tried the Gelato, biscotti,and pizzeles. Everything was great!! We enjoyed it so much that on our last night we ordered their thin crust pepperoni pizzaand of course more soup that was also amazing. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good Italian that isn?t fake chainfood. The owner was so nice and friendly. They?re always busy so expect to wait. But I assure you it?s well worth the wait. Read more

The pizza is really good. Probably trumps all other pizza places on the island. However It does take a long time to get an order... in / pickup food. Especially on weekends. My only complaint would be the garden house dressing. It?s spicy without any warning! Read more

Love love love this place. Best pizza on the island! And the garlic knots are outstanding! Gelato was very good as well. Will... definitely be back. Read more
