“Don't judge the old strip mall by it's cover. Fatto A Mano is one of those hidden gems with well above average Italian dishes with a good selection of conventional and seafood selections. We had the seafood and traditional Italian combos. Both were excellent! We enjoy taking home leftovers for another meal and had a hard time not finishing our meals right there. Wine selection is on the light side but what they did offer was quite appropriate and paired well with the meals. Katreena served us and was very knowledgeable with her recommendations. She should be as it turned out she is the owner! The way the pizzas were going out the door for takeout they seem to be very popular! We highly recommend Fatto A Mano! It's also an excellent value!“
“First time here, will definitely be back! Our food came out of the kitchen hot and delicious! The tomato basil pizza was awesome and my Stromboli was very good. But the showstopper was, the broasted chicken basket my wife ordered. Too few restaurants offer broasted chicken on their menu, when I found out they offered this item, we had to try. Now that we found this place, we will be back to try other items. The young girl who was our waitress even offered us to-go soft drinks! (Who does this anymore) Awesome service! Thanks!“
“Best food around! I love their pizza and salads, but all of their other foods are great too! Service is very quick, and staff are really awesome!Vegetarian options: Just choose what you want and don't want! They will accommodate whatever you order!“
“Came as a giant party (annoying, I know), but Britany was great. We’re an annoying group of people and she was nothing but great to us. I don’t think I’ve ever been to Carrabba’s, but their food was great and I have no complaints. Come here and ask for Britany.“
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again hands-down without question Gusto Italian is the best Italian restaurant in all of Southwest Florida maybe even in all of Florida. I’ve never had anything, but absolutely mouthwatering so soothingly heart felt delicious authentic Italian Food from this establishment. Vince, you have a customer for life my belly misses your Veal, Calamari and tiramisu on a daily basis..“
“The wait staff was excellent, efficient and very friendly. The food was pure Italian perfection. The portions were plentiful and displayed beautifully. This was our first time here and it’s added on my list to bring my Jersey family members here on their next visit.“
“A great find. The super positive reviews I read were spot on: really excellent pizza! We got cheese with mushroom and sausage. I pride myself on being a good judge of italian sausage, and theirs is top quality and flavor, sliced thin, so the pizza was COVERED. Very fresh tasting sauce too. Very nice staff, including chefs who came out to say hi and ask how we liked our dinner: we simply said "great pizza!"“
“Visited Mastello for the first time during a spring break trip to Fort Myers. We were blown away by the quality, the service, the atmosphere, and the food! Can easily say my steak was the best I've ever had without question. Our server, Lexi, was so pleasant, she made our special night even more enjoyable. Would totally recommend Mastello for a great dinner.“

“We were very pleased with our meals. Our Server, Emily was awesome!We were there on Sunday & they were busy. Found out that it's best to have reservations.Parking: SeveralKid-friendliness: There were several kids there.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility“
“The food was amazing! We had the carbonara and the chicken Parmesan and they were exquisite! The service at first was a little slow since we were sitting outside but then our server apologized and was attentive after that. The appetizers - tuna crudo was delicious and filling, the wagyu carpaccio was excellent too. Highly “
“Very good food at affordable prices. Limited but varied menu. Portions were plentiful and very tasty.I had a Lasagna and it was huge and tasty. Did taste some pasta and it was a bit overdone, not at al dente.Parking: Parking lot is rather small and parking is limited“
“I went to Grado’s for a slice, after seeing great reviews on different sites. I ordered a slice of their Bronx pizza. It had sausage, meatballs and ricotta cheese. It was so good. The flavors were wonderful and the thin crisp crust was outstanding. I will be back!“
“This was our first time here and best Italian food I’ve ever had. The experience was amazing and I highly recommend our waitress, Yari. The restaurant was so busy and she was running around but she did not fail to make us feel like the only ones in the restaurant from start to finish. The bruschetta and the fettuccine Alfredo were top tier!“
“We’ve only ordered in from Paradise, but everything we’ve gotten has been provided to us nice and hot. Plus everything is delivered all of the time. I definitely recommend their food.Vegetarian options: My favorite is the Margarita Pizza. My husband, who is not vegetarian loves the supreme deluxe pizza.“
“Went for lunch for a quick stop while traveling north on i75. Plenty of options for the whole family. Salads were good and the pizza was great. Meatball app was good too. We tried a variety of 9inch pies so we could have a bite of a few different options. Our favorites were “The Monster White” (white pizza) and the “Tommy Gun” (supreme). Would recommend“
“Jules (Julianne) was our server and she was truly excellent! She went above and beyond to ensure that our party of 4 (two parents and our two boys) had an amazing experience. The food and drinks were also phenomenal. We will definitely go back when we are back in Fort Myers. Thank you!“
“Olive Garden Italian Restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere paired with classic Italian dishes. From the endless breadsticks to the comforting pasta options, the menu is sure to please a variety of tastes. The attentive service enhances the dining experience, making it ideal for both casual meals and special occasions. While it may not offer the most authentic Italian cuisine, Olive Garden provides a satisfying and reliable dining experience for those craving Italian flavors. Definitely worth a try!“
“We were in the area, reviews and ratings looked good, so we tried it for lunch. The restaurant is hidden away in a strip mall that is mostly businesses. It is small, but quaint. It was not busy at all at 2:30ish on a Wednesday. We were greeted and seated right away. There was no wait to order drinks or food. The wait for food arrival was acceptable. The wait staff were all very friendly, accommodating and professional. The bolognese sauce was good, but not great. A spice was used that made the sauce taste bitter. The meatballs were good. The pizza was also good. The crust was on the crisp side, but not too crispy. I got extra cheese, pepperoni and 1/2 green olives. I didn't taste much sauce, so probably didn't need extra cheese. If in the area again, we would go back.“
“We’re snowbirds & we always look forward to visiting Citrola’s while we’re here. I usually get the shrimp primavera but tonight I opted for the pork chop, it was simply amazing! One of our very favorite places in Fort Myers, thanks Robin for providing such a wonderful experience every time!“
“This is the best jets pizza location I have been to. The food quality is the same as the others but it simply looks great. It actually has dine in options with places to sit and relax unlike cape's jets pizzeria. The staff was nice and accomodating. If there was a small criticism was that the pizza took quite a while longer than normal.“
“We visited this restaurant for the first time last night and we were very pleased with the whole experience. From the friendliness of the hostess as we entered to the outstanding job done by our server Zach. Great food at reasonable prices for SWFL. I highly recommend and we will return as it is now one of our favorite places! ????❤️Vegetarian options: Pasta Primavera“
“Hudson was our waiter and was excellent! Attentive, personable, mature, professional & informative but not constantly in your face. He was very helpful in our ordering and everything we ate was amazing! My husband had the Triple tail and said it was outstanding & I had the stuffed eggplant which was phenomenal! I am originally from New York and generally do not find Italian food in FL to be as authentic as NY Italian food. However every bite of food here was better than the last! Just amazing!!! We will be sure to tell everyone we know about this tremendous experience & restaurant!!! By the way the Tiramisu was the best I have ever had. My husband’s ganache key lime was outstanding too!! Thank you so much!!“
“This place is awesome. The servers remember your nane and what you drink. The host of karaoke is great although I miss him singing a song to open the night of karaoke. Pkease bring that back. We have a group of at least 10 people every Friday night that come abd have a great time.“
“BEST PIZZA I have had in Florida and the service was the best! Vinnie from NY makes the pizza and my mouth is absolutely watering wanting to go back. This place is a gem. We had zuchinni sticks and a Supreme pizza with no sausage, and just wow. I love giving 5 star reviews when recent experiences left me wondering...“
“It's loud. Puttanesca sauce over rigatoni - yum. Partner had the marinara sauce - also good. Service friendly and very attentive. Was very busy when we arrived at about 7pm, but started clearing quickly. Looks like this is a favorite for an older crowd. Does that mean there are early bird specials? Maybe, can't confirm.Parking: Plenty of parking in this strip mall.“
“My new favorite restaurant in the Fort Myers area! Delicious and authentic. We had reserved the counter (chef's table) and am so glad we did. It was pretty amazing to watch what could be chaos but was really a fine tuned symphony of multiple dishes being prepared at once -- each different and each delicious! I can't wait to go to the new location once it's opened.“
“Happened upon this place after some mini golf down the road and all I can start with is WOW! The staff (I think her name was theresa) was super friendly and attentive and welcoming. The owner was also very personable and welcoming, checking on us a few times to make sure everything was good and the food tasted good. The deep dish was delicious and the garlic knots were out of this world. Maybe the best I've ever had....the texture and garlic was perfect! We definitely will go back. Highly recommend. The atmosphere was also very clean and nice. Great menu! Would love to try more items!Kid-friendliness: Had my 10 year old son with me having some spring break fun. He loved the mozzarella sticks and garlic rolls just as much as I did, and he couldn't believe how cheesy and good the pizza was! He also loved the variety of drink options they had for him. The staff was very kind and sweet to him as well (owner and theresa both). He can't wait to go back! And we will!“
“This was our second visit to Taste of Europe. Our first time was with a group of twelve. While some of our friends didn’t have the same experience as we did, our food was excellent both times. We liked it so much that we returned for this second dinner. Our server, Tori, was very attentive. The service was great, and we enjoyed having conversation with her between courses and at the end of our meal. The restaurant owner, Julian, is a very gracious host. We look forward to returning with friends and will make Tase of Europe one of our “go-to” restaurants.“
“This is a grill with about 6 tables out and 8 to 10 inside. No frills Italian/Mediterranean. Not a quiet atmosphere which we like. I had the blackened mahi mahi lemon caper sauce, rice and spinach. Penne Vodka was very good. More tomato forward than cream which was great. Salad is extra. Drinks reasonable. We will be back.“
“The Pizza was Delicious,,my husband & I both enjoyed it very much. We will be going here every Friday ! Haven't found any Pizza in For Myers as good as this ! And the Service was just as Great ! I like my Pizza a little over cooked, the man on the phone when I ordered asked ,burnt, I said yes, a little. Well it was perfect. We got half sausage & half plain. The sausage was delicious also. Looking forward to next Friday!“
“Recently indulged in a takeout experience at Hungry Howie's, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The aroma of freshly baked pizzas greeted me as soon as I stepped in, setting the stage for a memorable culinary journey. Each slice boasted a perfect balance of flavors, from the savory sauce to the generous toppings, all nestled atop a perfectly crisp crust. The attention to detail and dedication to quality ingredients truly shine through in every bite. Coupled with friendly service and efficient order processing, Hungry Howie's has undoubtedly secured its place as my go-to spot for satisfying pizza cravings. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier dining experience. Five stars well-deserved!“
“Food is great! Punches Olive Garden in the face!? They have a decent steak to say the least! Service is usually pretty good. They keep it pretty professional. Atmosphere is decent as well, wish it was a little higher end especially being in the area it’s in. I will definitely return in the future“
“Love this place! I was a vendor in their parking lot today for a promotional event. Nick the owner is very cool so go support him and have yourself some fun. They have live bands, The King Chambers was there tonight and they rocked the house!!! Big open, clean space. Friendly staff, yummy food, cold drinks, rocking vibe.“
“Meatball appetizer and salmon, spinach, and asparagus w/ some Alfredo fettuccine. It was great, but even more perfect with glass of Chardonnay . Met some nice regulars and even had some live music for ladies night. Will definitely be back and try their table side desserts.“
“Excellent Italian food homemade with love. Greeted by one of the owners. Waitress was very professional and provided excellent service. My daughter ordered the Gnocchi and I ordered the lasagna. Having worked as a concierge in a high end resort in Aspen for several years, she/we have had some really good food. This is the best Gnocchi ever! The cream sauce is to die for. Lasagna was excellent too and literally melts in your mouth. You don't find truly homemade food often. These guys deliver it with love. Hope to return when they reopen next season. Truly a treat.“
“I traveled over 3000 to find the best Italian food in the country! Playing tourist in Cape Coral, a friend and I had an urge for a good, authentic, Italian dinner. We Googled "Italian restaurants near me" and came up with quite a few selections. Looking over the menus on some of them we found them to be quite expensive just for pasta. I found Maria's on my tablet, (as opposed to my partner's phone). It was less than a half mile from where we were staying, and the prices were very reasonable. So off we went. The restaurant is tucked away in a residential area. It is quaint, small and very clean. The staff was wonderful. We ordered our food. I knew mine would take a while to cook as I ordered Linguine with meatballs, so I was not off put when the food did not arrive immediately. But no problem, we were given warm, fresh baked bread cover in melted butter and garlic pieces, and topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese. It was wonderful! We ordered some wine, munched on the bread and talked. Our food arrived and we dug in (but not before I took some pictures of our meals). My partner raved about his ricotta stuffed ravioli. Me, I was blown away by the marinara sauce covering my linguine! Chunk full of garlic and herbs, it was the best marina I have EVER had in a restaurant. The meatballs were scrumptious, and the pasta cooked perfectly. I am glad I live in Washington state, because if I lived in Cape Coral I would eat here every night and get fat as a house! I should also mention that both my partner and I are Italian, so we are quite picky about our pasta and sauces. Maria's did not disappoint. I was only sorry it was our last day in Cape Coral and we could not go back and try other dishes. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you love Italian food, you must try Maria's!“

“What a fantastic experience! We had the Tomahawk steak. It was unbelievably tender and delicious. I can't remember the last time I had a steak that good. The service was top notch - they really take good care of you without being hovered over. The Sangria was great! Try this place the next time you get a craving for beef. You won't be disappointed!“
“Being Italian, I’m very picky, I like a nice homemade sauce, and being a southern Italian, I love red sauce well the meal I had here was terrific and very Italian, and I know from experience being that my father owned Italian restaurants in New York, and he was born in Italy, that this was good real Italian “
“Nice place to eat. Me and my wife ate there this evening. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs and I had meatball Parmesan very good. And the atmosphere is very peaceful. We will be back this time for breakfast. Also, the staff is wonderful and very professional very nice people. ????✅“
“I loved the pizza, good flavor, served on time, they even gave us dessert.I only give it 4 stars for the design of the place, they have everything to highlight, but it lacks light, aesthetics, atmosphere, perhaps modernizing the position of the tables and more color because it feels like a very tense atmosphere.From the very inconspicuous entrance of the place, the location is perfect but it does not attract.I hope I don't bother you but rather that you take my comment as constructive criticism.“
“Ok we have been wanting to try this pizza when visiting the cape from wisconsin but were a little turned off with it being a chain… we finally decided to try it and i have to say, no regrets. The crust is near perfect- crispy and airy- i got mine ‘well done’ with extra sauce which was perfect. Very pleasantly surprised. Will be spreading the good word around wisconsin as we do have one near my local town. Excellent until the last bite. Ate the whole thing myself with zero ragrats.“
“Samantha was an excellent server. She brought our refills before we even had a chance to ask for them. She was beautiful in self and spirit. She was kind, courteous, pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu and the items on the menu. She was most helpful in suggesting the take home promo meal promotion. She even grated some cheese for me to take home.She is an excellent asset to your company and also to her customers. This is the first time that I have been in due to traffic. we will be back for more of her excellent service. Bravo.“
“I like Pizza 2000, really I do. It’s definitely worth a try if you are in the area, or if you’re contemplating a Costco pizza, go across the parking lot and get a white pizza or a 3 cheese with smooth sauce. I’ve not had a bad pie. I will say the crust is different (a recent change?) - it’s not as delicious as I remember it being but it is still good and well cooked. I’ll keep coming back.Parking: Costco can overwhelm the lot or block access sometimes. Best to go in from behind the strip mall to save 5-10 minutes of Costco traffic.Kid-friendliness: Pretty accommodating of me bringing in my kid for pickup.“

“First time here and we had an excellent dining experience! We had meatballs,a slice of pizza, salad, spaghetti parm, rigatoni with braciole and a canoli. Everything was delicious and our server Tiffany was exceptionally friendly and efficient. We highly recommend Pizza Pub!“
“I’m from New Jersey and I’m very picky about my pizza pies. I ordered a traditional white pizza and a regular pie the best ever and you won’t be disappointed in their entrees dinners. Also everything is homemade and Teresa the owner makes her own homemade cannolis. You have to try them they’re located in the Coralwood Plaza Right next to the movie theater stop in before the movie and have some dinner. You won’t be disappointed. The service was fantastic and the atmospheres wonderful.“
