“The food was amazing! We had the carbonara and the chicken Parmesan and they were exquisite! The service at first was a little slow since we were sitting outside but then our server apologized and was attentive after that. The appetizers - tuna crudo was delicious and filling, the wagyu carpaccio was excellent too. Highly “

“I went to Grado’s for a slice, after seeing great reviews on different sites. I ordered a slice of their Bronx pizza. It had sausage, meatballs and ricotta cheese. It was so good. The flavors were wonderful and the thin crisp crust was outstanding. I will be back!“
“This was our first time here and best Italian food I’ve ever had. The experience was amazing and I highly recommend our waitress, Yari. The restaurant was so busy and she was running around but she did not fail to make us feel like the only ones in the restaurant from start to finish. The bruschetta and the fettuccine Alfredo were top tier!“
“We’ve only ordered in from Paradise, but everything we’ve gotten has been provided to us nice and hot. Plus everything is delivered all of the time. I definitely recommend their food.Vegetarian options: My favorite is the Margarita Pizza. My husband, who is not vegetarian loves the supreme deluxe pizza.“
“Olive Garden Italian Restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere paired with classic Italian dishes. From the endless breadsticks to the comforting pasta options, the menu is sure to please a variety of tastes. The attentive service enhances the dining experience, making it ideal for both casual meals and special occasions. While it may not offer the most authentic Italian cuisine, Olive Garden provides a satisfying and reliable dining experience for those craving Italian flavors. Definitely worth a try!“
“We visited this restaurant for the first time last night and we were very pleased with the whole experience. From the friendliness of the hostess as we entered to the outstanding job done by our server Zach. Great food at reasonable prices for SWFL. I highly recommend and we will return as it is now one of our favorite places! ????❤️Vegetarian options: Pasta Primavera“
“Hudson was our waiter and was excellent! Attentive, personable, mature, professional & informative but not constantly in your face. He was very helpful in our ordering and everything we ate was amazing! My husband had the Triple tail and said it was outstanding & I had the stuffed eggplant which was phenomenal! I am originally from New York and generally do not find Italian food in FL to be as authentic as NY Italian food. However every bite of food here was better than the last! Just amazing!!! We will be sure to tell everyone we know about this tremendous experience & restaurant!!! By the way the Tiramisu was the best I have ever had. My husband’s ganache key lime was outstanding too!! Thank you so much!!“
“BEST PIZZA I have had in Florida and the service was the best! Vinnie from NY makes the pizza and my mouth is absolutely watering wanting to go back. This place is a gem. We had zuchinni sticks and a Supreme pizza with no sausage, and just wow. I love giving 5 star reviews when recent experiences left me wondering...“
“Happened upon this place after some mini golf down the road and all I can start with is WOW! The staff (I think her name was theresa) was super friendly and attentive and welcoming. The owner was also very personable and welcoming, checking on us a few times to make sure everything was good and the food tasted good. The deep dish was delicious and the garlic knots were out of this world. Maybe the best I've ever had....the texture and garlic was perfect! We definitely will go back. Highly recommend. The atmosphere was also very clean and nice. Great menu! Would love to try more items!Kid-friendliness: Had my 10 year old son with me having some spring break fun. He loved the mozzarella sticks and garlic rolls just as much as I did, and he couldn't believe how cheesy and good the pizza was! He also loved the variety of drink options they had for him. The staff was very kind and sweet to him as well (owner and theresa both). He can't wait to go back! And we will!“
“This is a grill with about 6 tables out and 8 to 10 inside. No frills Italian/Mediterranean. Not a quiet atmosphere which we like. I had the blackened mahi mahi lemon caper sauce, rice and spinach. Penne Vodka was very good. More tomato forward than cream which was great. Salad is extra. Drinks reasonable. We will be back.“
“Food is great! Punches Olive Garden in the face!? They have a decent steak to say the least! Service is usually pretty good. They keep it pretty professional. Atmosphere is decent as well, wish it was a little higher end especially being in the area it’s in. I will definitely return in the future“
“I traveled over 3000 to find the best Italian food in the country! Playing tourist in Cape Coral, a friend and I had an urge for a good, authentic, Italian dinner. We Googled "Italian restaurants near me" and came up with quite a few selections. Looking over the menus on some of them we found them to be quite expensive just for pasta. I found Maria's on my tablet, (as opposed to my partner's phone). It was less than a half mile from where we were staying, and the prices were very reasonable. So off we went. The restaurant is tucked away in a residential area. It is quaint, small and very clean. The staff was wonderful. We ordered our food. I knew mine would take a while to cook as I ordered Linguine with meatballs, so I was not off put when the food did not arrive immediately. But no problem, we were given warm, fresh baked bread cover in melted butter and garlic pieces, and topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese. It was wonderful! We ordered some wine, munched on the bread and talked. Our food arrived and we dug in (but not before I took some pictures of our meals). My partner raved about his ricotta stuffed ravioli. Me, I was blown away by the marinara sauce covering my linguine! Chunk full of garlic and herbs, it was the best marina I have EVER had in a restaurant. The meatballs were scrumptious, and the pasta cooked perfectly. I am glad I live in Washington state, because if I lived in Cape Coral I would eat here every night and get fat as a house! I should also mention that both my partner and I are Italian, so we are quite picky about our pasta and sauces. Maria's did not disappoint. I was only sorry it was our last day in Cape Coral and we could not go back and try other dishes. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you love Italian food, you must try Maria's!“
“This was an awesome place! The food was delicious! The atmosphere was like old school Italian, with the wise guy feel! Mason our server was awesome and made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive. The Italian sausage and peppers and it was the best I've ever had! The sauce was so good I couldn't stop eating. The owner even came out of the kitchen and sang a few songs! Was great. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the great time.“
“Nice place to eat. Me and my wife ate there this evening. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs and I had meatball Parmesan very good. And the atmosphere is very peaceful. We will be back this time for breakfast. Also, the staff is wonderful and very professional very nice people. ????✅“
“Ok we have been wanting to try this pizza when visiting the cape from wisconsin but were a little turned off with it being a chain… we finally decided to try it and i have to say, no regrets. The crust is near perfect- crispy and airy- i got mine ‘well done’ with extra sauce which was perfect. Very pleasantly surprised. Will be spreading the good word around wisconsin as we do have one near my local town. Excellent until the last bite. Ate the whole thing myself with zero ragrats.“
“I’m from New Jersey and I’m very picky about my pizza pies. I ordered a traditional white pizza and a regular pie the best ever and you won’t be disappointed in their entrees dinners. Also everything is homemade and Teresa the owner makes her own homemade cannolis. You have to try them they’re located in the Coralwood Plaza Right next to the movie theater stop in before the movie and have some dinner. You won’t be disappointed. The service was fantastic and the atmospheres wonderful.“
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again hands-down without question Gusto Italian is the best Italian restaurant in all of Southwest Florida maybe even in all of Florida. I’ve never had anything, but absolutely mouthwatering so soothingly heart felt delicious authentic Italian Food from this establishment. Vince, you have a customer for life my belly misses your Veal, Calamari and tiramisu on a daily basis..“
