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.

Osteria Celli is absolutely beautiful. The brand new floors and lighting really add to the whole experience. Staff were very kind and caring, and service was on point. Not to mention the food!! Marco is an amazing cook and never disappoints! Will definitely be returning!!
Great food that has a European flair to it. Only negative is that it's a bit noisy.

Always a very nice and flavorful meal. Good wine good service one of our local favorites. Service is a touch slower than larger restaurants as all the food is prepared to order and to a higher standard. Update. Menu has been updated yet again, still fantastic food and service years later.
Grandma's recipes, Grandson's abd other family serving you at this cute place with phenominally exceptional food and appetizers- a top ten taste experience in Lee County for sure. Not fancy; here, it's all about happy, proud people serving you their wonderful food creations. In the realm of eating out, you will love your visit!

Marco, my nice Tina wrote that review. I could have said thank you and accepted the wine. After your daughter’s third trip to the kitchen to talk to you and presenting you with my last name she said the wine is yours. Yes you did come to our table and asked me how everything was. When I said terrible you didn’t ask me for an explanation, you turned and walked away. I guess your ego got the best of you. If $75.00 means that much to you, you probably need it more than I.

Outstanding fresh fish, the best veal Milanese in the area, fresh pasta and sauce made to order like from our region in Italy. Delicious salads and the best octopus appetizer! Try the lemon cake! Always the largest portions and high quality food everyone we come. Never ever a problem with our food and service. We send everyone here. So thankful we found this restaurant . Mille Grazie!

Visited on 4/8, have been here several times and one of my favorite places to go with family/friends. Unfortunately we will never go back due to poor business operation from the owner Marco. Sat down for dinner and after 10 min was presented with a gift of bottle of wine and 4 glasses. We asked are you sure this is for us, she said yes are you Craig? We said yes, who is this from, she stated it’s from Tony. We said are you sure is this is for us? We thought maybe from the owner since we go there often. They said let me check, came back she said yes it’s for you the owner said from Tony. We thought okay maybe they got the name Tony wrong and it was maybe from a friend Terry. They must have noticed their mistake during the meal and charged us for the bottle. We questioned why we are charged and they said they made a mistake. Would not remove the bottle of wine from the bill and said they would take 50% off. We were shocked and appalled, this is not how you run a business. You made a mistake and you should take care of the $20 bottle of wine. Are bill is over $300 each time we are there. I would not recommend this restaurant any longer. Being in the business and a former business owner this was a very simple resolution to keep great business. Very unprofessional and disappointed.Here is a follow up to your response…. This is not what happened what so ever. We were told several times it was a gift, we said several times are you sure?? The server said yes several times. Believe me I don’t need a free bottle of wine when I work with wine. Your price on the wine is $20 but I don’t care if it was $100. You don’t do that to a guest who has spent thousands at your restaurant. You dont tell someone it’s a gift several times and then take it back when you give them the bill. Own up to your mistake instead of being a coward. You are an embarrassment to this community to do business like this. Just for the record you made a fool out of yourself by having your wife do your dirty work with trying to apologize for your behavior and horrible business manor. Your response is exactly how you acted last night.

With an extensive list of specials it is hard to choose what you want to eat. There were six of us and we all had different meals. Mostly from the specials board. Everything was delicious! The wait staff is attentive and friendly in the atmosphere is more on the quiet side.
