“Recently ordered a sub and cannoli from here and they both wildly exceeded my expectations. So fresh, delicious, and made with care. I cannot suggest this place enough. The prices are worth it for the size you’re getting!“

“First timer we ordered a pizza for take out was really good the girl that waited on us I think her name was Amanda she was great and very pleasant, offered us drink while we was waiting on the pizza, we will be back much more to try from the menu.“

“This is my go to place every Friday for pizza and has been for a while now. This is the ONLY pizza chain that actually gives you the extra cheese that you pay for. Everywhere else has a pitiful amount of cheese even when you specifically request EXTRA (been told by people who used to work these places that they’re told not to actually give the extra cheese).

I’ve read a few reviews on here that the lady here is rude and that’s not true. She’s always been nice to me and I’ve joked with her. Don’t forget that in today’s society everybody is a victim and their narcissism points everyone else out to be an evil villain.

My only complaint is lack of locations. I drive out of my way to get to this store. I wish there was one in Cape Coral.“

“We’re new to the area and looking for good places to eat. We found a gem. Just ate an incredible dinner at Pizza Connection. The restaurant is in a big shopping plaza next to Publix with plenty of parking. It is decorated in a great casual Italian family style and is immaculate. The pizza and dinner entrees were outstanding. Garlic knots were to die for-moist and garlicky with a sprinkle of cheese on top. So fresh! For dessert, the salted caramel cheesecake was oh so yummy. We will be returning every week! Put them in your GPS!!“

“We always enjoy the wine dinners!“

“We are here on vacation & we wanted some Italian Food. We chose to give this place a try. We got our food to go due to our busy schedule. We ordered the Grouper, Caesar salad, Bread & Calamari. We ordered our food at 8:30 PM. We got caught in traffic and ended up showing up at 9:10 PM after they were closed. This establishment is absolutely phenomenal. They welcomed me with open arms even though I was very late. Ok ok ok the food was phenomenal & the young lady that handed me my food was amazing. I highly recommend this place. We come to FL twice a year & you best believe we will visit this place Everytime. By the way the pricing on point. My wife & I share this food. $60 out the door with TIP. Yes tip your to go orders.“

“Wonderful, casual atmosphere. Great fresh dishes. wonderful wine selection.
Toscana sausage and penny was excellent generous portions. Appetizer in the bruschetta very good fresh best I’ve ever had. Dessert Tiramisu was soft and delicious. My only negative is that I waited too long to try this restaurant.“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“We’ve been going there the past three years for my birthday. The food is fabulous, the servers are fabulous. Their personalities are over the top. Very pleasant atmosphere. Comfortable and affordable! We’ll definitely go back again!“

“Our waitress Taylor was amazing very kind and made sure we had a pleasant dinner. The food was good especially the canoli cake. I recommend it very highly.“

“Food was excellent. Delacey was fantastic. A bit of a wait for the meal but well worth it!! European style seating so loud and back to back. Wife the chicken piccata… delicious! I had the eggplant parmesan which came out and steamy. Portion sizes are large and enough for two meals. I ordered the carrot cake to try at home and it was beyond my expectations delicious. We would highly recommend this quaint little neighborhood Italian restaurant.“

“First time to Fort Myers and had an amazing meal at Bruno's! Everything was excellent from the bread to dessert and the service was top notch. A memorable dinner - wish they would relocate to New York!“

“Just a great local Italian restaurant with great reasonably priced food plus a nice happy hour menu from 2:30-6:00. Clean location and very pleasant staff. Most portions are large enough to do a take a home box for lunch the following morning.“

“I can't say enough about this restaurant. The food was amazing. The atmosphere and love was beyond what you would expect. I can't wait to go back. I want to try every single dish on the menu. I read the review about the vodka sauce and the recovering alcoholic. Why the f....k would you even consider ordering that dish in the first place??? You are playing games with yourself. Really, you cried at the table?? The owners are hard working people. There are erasers on pencils for a reason. Or maybe you don't know what an eraser is. I would have thrown your a** out wah wah wah!! And the other idiot with the chicken wings, you don't come to an Italian restaurant and ask for chicken wings. Go to Kentucky Fried chicken you arsh hole! Anyway I loved the gnocchi with cream sauce, which is what I had. I needed to sample the gravy, (yes we Italians can it gravy), so I had a meatball too! Totally recommend! Jill the owner is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Make a reservation it fills up real fast!“

“This pizza is beyond amazing, give them a try! New remodel makes experience much better. Great place“

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

“The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great! Large portions and reasonable prices, too. I will most definitely eat here again.“

“The food was great, service was OK. We were waited on quickly when arrived but once a larger table arrived for our waitress it was like we were forgot about. She tried to manage but we had to wait a long time for refills and for her to come check on us. Yet, I would recommend it could have been a busy time for her.“

“Our server was Alex which is the owners daughter in law. She was an amazing. She told us we needed try their meatballs we told her we are super picky on meatballs but she said she makes them every week. We tried them and they are were one of the best we have ever had. All the entrees we had were so good ... we would definitely be back. The start karaoke every night around 9 which was fun. If looking for authentic Italian with a great menu check this place out.“

“We’ve been here twice. We had the Churrasco steak both times, so yummy. Black beans are excellent. Our waitress Dayelin was great! We eat out quite often, this will be added to our rotation.“

“Oise Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with elegance, luxury, and top-tier service. Every detail is impeccable. The drinks? Flawless. The food? Out of this world—each dish is crafted to perfection and bursting with flavor. It’s more than just a dinner; it’s a full-on five-star experience. The ambience is upscale yet inviting, and the staff treats you like royalty. Oise has officially become my new favorite spot!“

“10/10 We’re in from the Midwest and I gotta say it was a taste of home! As good as an original but better than most. We’ll be back next year 👌🏼“

“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!!“

“We have just moved to the area and we're exhausted and very hungry from unpacking all day. From the moment we walked in we were treated like family no request was to big or to small. The service was exceptional and food was absolutely delicious. Luigi and his staff went above and beyond. Definitely our go to Italian Restaurant.“

“Awesome food but don’t pay in cash. They will short you if they don’t have change. They don’t seem to care that they shouldn’t do that and if they want to run a business they need change to run or say they only accept cards. There’s no policy written anywhere that they are going to short you if you can’t pay with exact change. This isn’t about pennies either because they have been doing this ever since they opened. You still need to eat there though because the food is great.“

“Not just the pizza, but literally everything we’ve had from Little Sicily has been amazing!! Joey & his team do a fantastic job. Best calamari I’ve ever tasted! Same goes for the bruschetta.“

“Excellent food. The most authentic Italian food recipes. I highly recommend. It's our favorite restaurant.“

“The food here is unbelievably good and the staff are incredibly nice. I had the pleasure of Ana Julia take my order. I ordered a platter of picanha and there was a misunderstanding on the phone. ANa Julia took care of it right away with such kindness and professionalism. Although I was not happy at first her professionalism and quick actions impressed me very much and this is why I return. CUstomer service is everything!!!“

“Loved everything . Food was really good loved the angle hair and sausage, it was a lot of food for being the smaller size. Our waitress Rachael was too much fun, she was ready joke with us as much as we did with her. A big shout out to Arlene who also was extra special and a really cheerful helper. Be nice to the whole staff, they work like crazy to take care of the crowds and get the food out quickly. I don’t think we as customers understand how stressful a job like that can be. Get your Oder ready, Enjoy your visit and delicious food😎“

“Food is amazing! The specials are always delicious! we enjoy coming at least once a week, all of the staff are great! never had a bad experience or dish and my husband has probably tried almost the entire menu!“

“Sergio was an amazing 👏. He was attentive despite having a full section and being new to this area. He never forgot a thing and was fast to ensure we got quality service. I love bilingual servers that can handle tasks of indulging customers while bringing out the food. He made us laugh a bunch too, it was a great breath of fresh air“

“Much has changed, like they gave up on the patio. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and live music but now there is little of it. The servers are nice to me and my dog. The menu is simply but good. The drink prices were reasonable and the beer is cold. Hope they get better.“

“Food was delivered quick and fresh. We ordered the detroit style. It was great!“
