“The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Service was a little slow. i was so impressed that the owner, Mike, handed us our credit cards when we were checking out. What a nice touch! I have left my card at the table before but he made sure that was not happening to his guests. Very thoughtful! This was my second visit and plan to go again.“

“I had one of the best experiences at Carrabba’s thanks to Aar:start. His service was amazing friendly, attentive, fast, and genuinely thoughtful. It’s rare to find someone who takes so much pride in their work and makes you feel so welcome. I’d honestly come back just because of him. Highly recommended!“

“Had a fantastic evening this past Tuesday. Not our first but as great as previous. Consistency is the key to success.. We were a group of four and each had a different entree. No complaints all around. Now for the service. Susie was absolutely fantastic. Her Italian accent is perfect even though she is not Italian!!! Delightful, funny with a great attitude. Even though she had several tables, she always found the time to make us feel special. My next reservation will definitely include a request that it be with her as the server.“

“We were very well taken care of by Liv, who is absolutely delightful — always smiling, attentive, and incredibly helpful. She truly made our evening so much better.

The restaurant offers a great variety of Italian dishes, all very well prepared. The garlic bread with cheese served at the beginning is fantastic and worth the visit on its own.

Excellent experience! Highly recommended.“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Four of us ate at 41 Bistro in Estero this evening. We all got something different, they were willing to make changes to our liking and all four meals were very good. Julia was our server and she along with Bella the robot gave us great service. Ally the owner came to our table and said he can adjust menu items for allergies just let him know. They also serve gluten free pasta and sauces. We will be back. Thank you for an enjoyable Tuesday evening.“

“The food here last night was tremendous. I never imagined we could get this level of great cuisine in Fort Myers. The veal Milanese had the most tender veal I’ve ever had. And the Linguine Vongole would’ve been enough for the whole table. My wife felt like we were back dining in Italy and we can’t wait to go back. Don’t hesitate to try it. And make sure you order some gnocchi they were incredible.“

“Lisa was so great! Awesome food and good atmosphere.“

“We are down from Pittsburgh and I have my favorite places back home, but we decided to give Pino’s a try on 4/16/25 … Well the places back home just won’t be the same anymore. The pizza here was fantastic!!! We ordered a Grandma Pie and a cheese pie. Perfectly crispy crust, amazing cheese flavor, fresh veggies and some of the best sauce I’ve had. I highly recommend this place and I will sadly have to wait till next year to try it again.“

“Definitely the best Italian restaurant! Everything was so delicious, everyone was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely will coming here more often.“

“Incredible quality Italian classics“

“My husband and I love the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl! I especially love the soup and salad and bread sticks too!! We went again tonight and we were so pleased with the exceptional service given from the moment we walked into the door at this Coconut Point location! We were greeted and showed to our seats right away. Our server, Tyler was attentive, professional, friendly and knew his job very well!“

“There are so many “Italian” restaurants in town to choose from however, Toscano is different. Owners Diana and Antonio have succeeded in replicating a true regional style restaurant direct from Italy! If you want a standard chicken parm or pasta keep scrolling. However, if you desire a top quality and authentic Italian dining experience that you won’t soon forget…there is no need to scroll any further! Top quality ingredients, attention to detail, and pride of ownership abound. I am going back tomorrow! It’s not often that a restaurant exceeds expectations across food, service, and atmosphere, but this place delivered on every level, leaving me eager to return soon! I am confident in recommending it to anyone looking for a stellar dining experience.“

“Tonight we were talking amongst ourselves about a good place to go get a bite to eat for dinner, and wanted to try a new place that we've never been to before. We decided to try this place out and I am very happy that we did! Being greeted at the door made us feel welcome and we ordered a large pizza and split a large salad. Everything was excellent and I definitely will be returning to this restaurant in the future! I strongly recommend they try this place out!“

“The Rib Eye’s are amazing!“

“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!!“

“I tried this for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. The customer service was above and beyond. Holly showed me all the fresh raviolis and lasagna and explained to me how each one was made. I bought two sandwiches which were huge and had to take home left overs and then lasagna and ravioli to go. My family loved them at home quick and easy something I love with my busy schedule. I would defiantly rate a 10/10 it’s a must go to if you are in the area! Brand new to Bonita! Cam and Holly made sure me and my husband felt right at home in this cute deli!!“

“Pleasantly surprised to find an Italian restaurant in Florida with REALLY DELICIOUS food! Enrico is from Naples Italy where people are known for cooking with LOVE ❤️ My husband who is also from Naples and a very big food critic loved the spaghetti with clams. We were a party of 4, had 2 apps a bottle of good wine and 4 entrees UNDER $200 !!! Very reasonably priced delicious entrees! Definitely going back ?“

“Delivery was great and on time. Driver was really nice. Food was excellent. Prices were excellent We will definitely make this our favorite eatery“

“We had the Parmesan chicken and pesto. Absolutely delicious with very generous portions. Highly recommend!“

“Enzo’s is our first stop when we come into town! Great food and friendly service! Portions are generous and the homemade tomato sauce is spot on. They offer a variety of happy hour specials (we’ve tried many) and the bartenders are great. We’ll continue coming back!“

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

“We couldn’t be happier that we chose DeRomos to cater our wedding reception! The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests loved every bite. The catering manager Barbara Castiglia was so friendly and made the entire ordering process stress-free. What meant so much to us was how she went above and beyond to make sure one of our guests with celiac disease had a safe and delicious gluten-free entree. That extra care did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful. Our tasting at the restaurant was such a great experience — the chef personally greeted us, walked us through every dish, and made us feel right at home. Choosing DeRomos was a no-brainer, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding service.“

“Great traditional Italian restaurant!
Our favorites are the basic angel hair pasta, great meatballs & marinara; chicken francese; sautéed broccoli w garlic & spinach.
For dessert lovers, the Tartuffo Gelato, from New York, is outstanding.“

“Excellent meatballs, Cabernet, and service. Spaghetti was good, too.“

“Amazing experience!! Highly recommend!“

“The food at Olive Garden was absolutely delicious, everything was perfect. However, the service from our waitress, Allison, wasn’t the best. She seemed a bit distracted at times and it felt like she forgot about our table. Still, I want to highlight Brandon’s excellent attitude — even though he wasn’t assigned to us, he was very kind and attentive. Thanks to him, our experience was much more enjoyable.“

“Great food and service“

“First time here, visited after a doctors appointment with my mom and dad, very cute clean place.
We ordered the Sicilian pie with sausage and meatballs. Came out nice and hot 🔥 as we all took a piece and bits into it we we're all amazed, crispy deliciousness in every bite !! Very flavorful and hit the spot 🤌
