50 Best Italian Restaurants near Estero

“Was our first time to Divieto's. Sebastian was excellent. The food was excellent. Definitely will be returning. Highly recommend.“

“NOV 1
Our server was Mark we came in around 6pm on Friday evening and the restaurant was half full. Mark was a super great guy but seems new to serving. The crowd was mostly 70-90 yrs old, a lot of people enjoying happy hour. The cocktails were ok. The rice balls were great and the red sauce(Marinara) was excellent.

The Chicken Marsala and Veal Marsala took a long time to come out of the kitchen. We both did not like it and we didn't complain about, it lacked flavor although portions were good. We would not order that food again. We loved the entertainer so much we will be back and try something else.“

“Food and service were amazing. Pasta made fresh in house to order, thus the longer wait time. No boxed pasta here and this is authentic Italian fare. Had homemade lobster ravioli from scratch , and you can definitely taste the difference, Great..“

They were absolutely amazing! We had a party of 16 and the entire experience, start to finish, was flawless. Everything was delicious and no one had to wait for their dishes to come out, not an easy feat with so many people & my husband was treated to a delicious dessert as well. I encourage you to support this local business!“

“Incredible quality Italian classics“

“I love my mom and pop shops up north but I have not been able to find a real good Italian one here in Florida, it's so many frozen food franchises:(. That is until I found this place! The food was very tasty and authentic. I had the chicken piccata and my husband had thr lasagna, both were delicious. The serving size was huge as well, I had enough for a big lunch the next day. We also had the mozzarella wedges which were yummy. The bread was pretty good too, dipped in olive oil of course. The atmosphere felt very cozy and reminded me of how traditional restaurants should be! Service was great oo. We'll be going back to try other dishes and apps.“

“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.“

“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!“

“If I could give this place more stars, I absolutely would. My family and I decided to eat at Nino‘s last night for my husband‘s birthday 9/11. The place is so welcoming our waiter Pauly was absolutely amazing. He was on point with everything and my kids adored him. we are originally from the park but haven’t eaten at Nino’s in a few years and it’s still the same. We plan to eat here often keep up the good work.“
