Davide Italian Cafe

My current favorite pizza on Marco. So good, every time.

Vegetarian options: The pizza sauce, crust, and cheese are all delicious. Top however you want.

I have not otherwise explored the menu.

Delizioso!!! So yummy! Had the Lassgna Bolognese and enjoyed it!

Great dinner! A recommendation i got from Julio at the residents beach! Julio knows! Ask Julio about italian food in the island! We had a caprese salad! I had veal marsala, my wife had the white vongole and we ended up with a tiramisu! All great! For sure we will be back!!!! Loved it! And we had a Sangiovese/Syrah from Sasyr! Perfect pairing!

Davide-No, sorry I do not agree with the reviews of this place. We arrived off season and we're made to feel guilty by the host for not having a reservation. Forced to sit way in the back by the restroom with an empty restaurant. Ordered wine, a nice Chianti, and it was hot. Who likes hot wine? Then the sautéed calamari came for an appetizer. So, tough and rubbery I cold not chew and sent away. Fortunately it was removed from the bill. Salad next, whas right out of a grocery store mixed green bin with a heavy balsamic vinagar. Next to the mains, Eggplant for the Mrs and mushroom pasta for me. My brown sauce was so heavy and think it stuck to the plate. She felt like the eggplant was made weeks ago and the red sauce bland.

The owner outside smoking a cigarette instead of caring about the quality of his food. Enough said.

Five stars always well deserved. After nine years I returned to Florida and when traveling around Marco Island I couldn't help but stop for dinner at Davide Italian cafe. A true Italian restaurant in Florida, with a menu enviable even by Italian restaurants in Italy and products that come directly from Italy. Staff in the room very friendly and helpful. The owner Davide, always present and full of irony and kindness and is always ready to joke with all customers. I again ate an excellent gluten-free pizza, a delicious appetizer with truly exceptional buffalo mozzarella.

davide’s is the best, most authentic italian restaurant on marco island!! if i could give 10 stars, i would. davide, the owner, and the staff are so welcoming and friendly and made us feel so at home. he is from sicily and let me tell you, it shows!! the food was amazing and the cannolis were the absolute best we have ever had. we went all over to multiple italian restaurants and NOTHING compared to davide’s! this is a MUST TRY. if that doesn’t convince you, we went back 4 times in 5 days! i can’t recommend it enough. i would fly back to marco island just for a cannoli from davides!

Absolute best Italian restaurant I have been to in years. I am so impressed. I grew up in New York, in a small community, blessed with great Italian eateries. I’ve also spent time in Italy. I have since moved to the Midwest and miss real, authentic Italian food. This was a taste of home. The service, the atmosphere, the food, ALL OF IT! I cannot tell you how impressed I am. Their desserts are even delicious!

It’s a good restaurant, but the prices are outrageous, a pasta dish was over $22. That also included a salad but the salad was 5 pieces of lettuce and that probably cost over $10. I understand it’s a fancy restaurant but if your gonna give 5 pieces of lettuce at least lower the prices.

Everything was exceptional except the way they made you feel as a single diner. It’s humiliating enough to have to dine alone without them adding to your feeling. I was asked if I would mind eating at the bar. I did not want to. They seated me outside and at the end of my meal, asked if I could leave bec. they had reservations for the tableI was sitting at. I still had most of a glassOf wine yet to consume. It was a humiliating experience. I won’t go back.
