19 Best Italian Restaurants in Cape Coral

“First time dining at Gusto and the food was amazing. If you’re looking for a place for authentic Italian food you won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars for this restaurant.“

“Beautiful presentation and even more amazing food! What a wonderful little hidden spot at Tarpon Marina! We will always go again! Love, Love, Love!!!“

“Wonderful, casual atmosphere. Great fresh dishes. wonderful wine selection.
Toscana sausage and penny was excellent generous portions. Appetizer in the bruschetta very good fresh best I’ve ever had. Dessert Tiramisu was soft and delicious. My only negative is that I waited too long to try this restaurant.“

“Our waitress Taylor was amazing very kind and made sure we had a pleasant dinner. The food was good especially the canoli cake. I recommend it very highly.“

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food was amazing. The atmosphere and love was beyond what you would expect. I can't wait to go back. I want to try every single dish on the menu. I read the review about the vodka sauce and the recovering alcoholic. Why the f....k would you even consider ordering that dish in the first place??? You are playing games with yourself. Really, you cried at the table?? The owners are hard working people. There are erasers on pencils for a reason. Or maybe you don't know what an eraser is. I would have thrown your a** out wah wah wah!! And the other idiot with the chicken wings, you don't come to an Italian restaurant and ask for chicken wings. Go to Kentucky Fried chicken you arsh hole! Anyway I loved the gnocchi with cream sauce, which is what I had. I needed to sample the gravy, (yes we Italians can it gravy), so I had a meatball too! Totally recommend! Jill the owner is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Make a reservation it fills up real fast!“

“This pizza is beyond amazing, give them a try! New remodel makes experience much better. Great place“

“Food and service was fantastic! Cannot wait to come back!!“

“We are here on vacation & we wanted some Italian Food. We chose to give this place a try. We got our food to go due to our busy schedule. We ordered the Grouper, Caesar salad, Bread & Calamari. We ordered our food at 8:30 PM. We got caught in traffic and ended up showing up at 9:10 PM after they were closed. This establishment is absolutely phenomenal. They welcomed me with open arms even though I was very late. Ok ok ok the food was phenomenal & the young lady that handed me my food was amazing. I highly recommend this place. We come to FL twice a year & you best believe we will visit this place Everytime. By the way the pricing on point. My wife & I share this food. $60 out the door with TIP. Yes tip your to go orders.“

“The food was great, service was OK. We were waited on quickly when arrived but once a larger table arrived for our waitress it was like we were forgot about. She tried to manage but we had to wait a long time for refills and for her to come check on us. Yet, I would recommend it could have been a busy time for her.“

“We’ve been here twice. We had the Churrasco steak both times, so yummy. Black beans are excellent. Our waitress Dayelin was great! We eat out quite often, this will be added to our rotation.“

“We are Sicilian decent wanted to try for my birthday. We ordered a Marguerita pie , eggplant parm, two seafood dishes and some soup. Staff was very nice and attentive. I liked that the food was not salty at all and you can add your own. My parents are hard to impress but my father loved it. He said “this is real pizza”. Set your expectations, this is not a brick oven pizzeria in Sicily. It’s a humble place in Florida , very clean and simple , reminds me of Nona’s food. Ohh the cannolis were 😚 yummy !! Crispy shell. I would go back just to have them !! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“We have just moved to the area and we're exhausted and very hungry from unpacking all day. From the moment we walked in we were treated like family no request was to big or to small. The service was exceptional and food was absolutely delicious. Luigi and his staff went above and beyond. Definitely our go to Italian Restaurant.“

“Food is amazing! The specials are always delicious! we enjoy coming at least once a week, all of the staff are great! never had a bad experience or dish and my husband has probably tried almost the entire menu!“

“baked ziti, excellent white pizza, excellent those garlic rolls.... incredible 🖤 Our new GO TO“

“Love this place.. it’s definitely my neighborhood go to. We especially love Brook!! She’s like family to us, she is professional, curious, and has a wonderful customer satisfaction rating.. the place was updated tasteful and didn’t skip a beat as the transition was flawless! Very proud to shout out praises!!!“

“Absolutely the best Italian food we have had in all of Southwest Florida in the 23 years we have lived here. I can’t believe that it’s taken us this long to come here. Being from New Jersey, we are pretty picky about our Italian food. This restaurant is absolutely incredible. We even took a dessert to go home, because we were too full from the main course to eat it there. You will not be disappointed with anything you pick from the menu. It is absolutely delicious. Everything tastes like your Italian grandma just cooked it. Do yourself a favor. Don’t wait 20 years like I did. Just go.“

“We're visiting from Pennsylvania and have gotten pizza from here twice this past week. SOOO good!!! The 8 corner pizza is where it's at!!!!“

“Much has changed, like they gave up on the patio. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and live music but now there is little of it. The servers are nice to me and my dog. The menu is simply but good. The drink prices were reasonable and the beer is cold. Hope they get better.“

“Food was delivered quick and fresh. We ordered the detroit style. It was great!“
