Francesca Vitale’s Restaurant

Great local restaurant! I travel frequently and am always looking for local pizza and I am so glad I found this place. Service was great and the pizza was even better. Not a huge beer list kept this from being 5-​star.

Great food, horrible service. On a Saturday night they were out of lemons and broccoli (fettuccine Alfredo broccoli meal). Had to ask for our bread sauce when it was included in the meal and ask for our salads that was also included with our meal. They were playing Mexican music in an Italian restaurant, overall bad experience.

Best pizza in town hands down. Always hot and fresh. Have had several items off the regular menu as well and have never been disappointed.

Knowing that this is a sister restaurant to the previously reviewed Sicilian pizza carryout, Ms T and I went, basically to get the same pizza and a salad and a beer in a sit-​down place, rather than taking it back to the hotel.
We found the pizza to be essentially the same good offering that we had at The Sicilian. They use good
Italian Sausage and very good quality cheese. We like the crust style, a little chewy, not too thick or too thin. The sauce is good and not over applied for us.
We also enjoyed a house salad with their decadent creamy garlic dressing. Believe them when they call it garlic dressing. It is lethal and delicious.
It is a shame to do a review for Francesca’s and only rate the pizza. Our service was very good and they have an interesting menu that deserves to be explored in the future. I can’t wait to try more things.

This pizza is the best in all of Muscatine. I’ve always had fantastic service– but I also go when its not busy. Great family atmosphere.
