When available as a special, the 40 day aged NY Strip Steak is as good as any you'd order at a NYC steakhouse. Have it cooked between rare and medium rare. It melts in your mouth. The veal saltimbocca is very good too.
We heard a lot of good comments about this place do we tried it out. Good selection of apps and entree , but overpriced on many items My chicken parm was fair, and very overpriced We enjoyed our dinner and will probably go back for another try for Happy hour

This visit was the worst in 4 yrs. Our server was in attentative; seemed as if he was forced to have our table. He never introduced himself nor the usual 'blurb.' Question at table, are you ready to order or would you like a drink. I asked, 'no specials tonight.' Yes. With the restaurant 50% seating when our order was taken; after 35 mins, is there an issue. Oh, usually 60min wait for entrees. In our past visits and 'full seating' maybe 15min wait. I ordered lasagne bolognese; the mozzarella on top was tough which lends that after sitting too long before eating occurs. My husband's shrimp and pasta was excellent. Our server was not attentive. Extremely disappointed. Wanted dessert and after dinner drink, but his inattentiveness and my meal, we closed out the tab. Will rethink when we might return

An evening out with friends at one of the best Ft Myers restaurants. I had Ossa Buco, the others had grouper and bolognese. All were good. Nice wine list with good values . Patron noice was moderate and our server, Caroline, was delightful. Good at wine pairings too!

Always a pleasure there. Food is delish. Lasagna is my daughters most favorite. Veal parmigiana is my husbands. The best Osso Buco A La Milanese. It is all I ever order. Waitstaff is on point.

Too loud in dining room. Drinks served late and to wrong people. Couldn't get water refilled. Server claimed short staff and new bartender. My favorite dish was just so so. Must have new management or chef or both. I insisted dining there and brought 4 others. It was embarrassing.

Excellent Osso Bucco - one of the best I’ve ever eaten. My husband had the Tile fish special - also excellent. Glad we stopped in while in town.

Our server was horrible. This is the second time we have him. He spilled wine all over my glass on the table. Then he refilled my water and put the glass back in the pile of wine. We had a party of 8 people and the food came at a different time. We come back because of the food but definitely not because of service or atmosphere.

Waitress was wonderful. The only problem They were short staff. Probably could use bus boys to help the waitress. Sat outside not as loud as inside I found. Love their veal Marsala. Been there many times.
We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an excellent dinner at Terra Nostra starting with an appetizer of crispy Fried Calamari, entrees of Gnocci Brie & Portobello and a wonderful version of Frutti di Mare with a diabolo sauce. Our waitress, Ella, was superb. A wonderful evening!

Decent first experience, food was good for lost of us group of 6 . Atmosphere was nice , busy but welcoming. Friendly greeting and server was nice . Being an Italian family it was decent dinner .

We have eaten there once a week and usually food and service is good. Not today. Food was good as usual but service was severely long, and complaints were not satisfied by the manager, Peter. In total, mistakes happen, but management failed to step up. Sadly we won't be back.
