38 Best Italian Restaurants near Fort Myers Beach

“Loved it. Turkey club sub and companion had a burger w/ fries. So good, on homemade rolls. Perfect lunch on the patio and lots to see, if you like to people watch. Very affordable.Parking: We had parked in the Fort Myers Beach parking lot and had paid $20 for the whole day. It's within walking distance to the restaurant in all paved which was perfect for me cuz I have a hard time walking distance.“

“Rae's Italian on the Beach is pretty good for being a restaurant in a hotel. Service and food were very good. The only negative for me is the automatic adding of a 15% Service Charge to the bill. As we were a party of 2 this seemed a bit excessive. I know other restaurants do this but for much larger parties. Be careful when going to add an additional tip as you will be adding more than you think.“

“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.“

“Four of us ate at 41 Bistro in Estero this evening. We all got something different, they were willing to make changes to our liking and all four meals were very good. Julia was our server and she along with Bella the robot gave us great service. Ally the owner came to our table and said he can adjust menu items for allergies just let him know. They also serve gluten free pasta and sauces. We will be back. Thank you for an enjoyable Tuesday evening.“

“Great service, food and prices! After we left the chaotic seed to table never finding a seat we came to Leonis. Waiter was super friendly right away. Pizza and salad were great too. Free beer was a nice surprise as well. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The broaster chicken is delicious! The fries are nice and crispy on the outside. delish!“

“Owner and staff are super friendly, great food! This is a hidden jewel in Fort Myers. I loved their lobster ravioli! You will be treated like family.“

“Just a couple tables available to sit at , but the pizza was delicious deep dish pepperoni and bacon. We enjoyed our dinner.“

“Good food and the restaurant was comfortable and enjoyable. The only negative was that our waitress has 3/5 tables that were filled. One with over 15 people seated which made our wait extra long. Additionally, a member of my group is vegan (an allergy and something we told the waitress) and her salad came out covered in cheese.“

“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!“

“I have been coming to This are for 16 years and finally found a great Chicago Pizza at Rosati’s in Estero Owner very friendly and our waitress Mogan was the best“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our first time here to this surprise gem of a restaurant. We arrived ahead of our party and sat at the bar for a drink and were greeted so warmly by the staff, served quickly while she chatted amiably with us. Once our friends arrived we were seated outside to enjoy the warmth of the evening. Our waiter Bill, shared the specials with us with a smile and humor. Our friends who have been here before requested Bill because he is fun and chatty. The food was fabulous fresh and so tasty. Mare Terra is a bit hidden off of Rt 41 but it's so worth going. Ask for Bill and you'll have great service and a wonderful evening out. A singer was inside and sounded really lovely when we passed through the restaurant but we couldn't hear her outdoors. Plenty of parking.“

“Pleasantly surprised to find an Italian restaurant in Florida with REALLY DELICIOUS food! Enrico is from Naples Italy where people are known for cooking with LOVE ❤️ My husband who is also from Naples and a very big food critic loved the spaghetti with clams. We were a party of 4, had 2 apps a bottle of good wine and 4 entrees UNDER $200 !!! Very reasonably priced delicious entrees! Definitely going back ?“
