BRUSCHETTA FRANCESCA – Italian
Tucked on Fitzpatrick Street a short walk off Duval, this Key West dining room plays Sicilian rather than generic Italian, and opens only for dinner. Arancina and fried calamari start the evening. From there the kitchen runs spaghetti alla carbonara, fettuccine alla Bolognese, paccheri with shrimp, pollo alla parmigiana and a red snapper piccata that leans on local fish. Pizza comes margherita or Mediterranean, blistered and shareable. Spaghetti and meatballs stays on for the traditionalists. The owners liken the room to an Italian family home, and the attentive, unhurried service backs that up. Closed Mondays. Book ahead during high season.
