39 Best Italian Restaurants in Fort Myers

“We always enjoy the wine dinners!“

“I had one of the best experiences at Carrabba’s thanks to Aar:start. His service was amazing friendly, attentive, fast, and genuinely thoughtful. It’s rare to find someone who takes so much pride in their work and makes you feel so welcome. I’d honestly come back just because of him. Highly recommended!“

“Our first time here, partly of six- We all LOVED it! Our server Lila was amazing! We all had something different from eggplant parm to filet .. all on point!“

“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.“

“We were very well taken care of by Liv, who is absolutely delightful — always smiling, attentive, and incredibly helpful. She truly made our evening so much better.

The restaurant offers a great variety of Italian dishes, all very well prepared. The garlic bread with cheese served at the beginning is fantastic and worth the visit on its own.

Excellent experience! Highly recommended.“

“The food here last night was tremendous. I never imagined we could get this level of great cuisine in Fort Myers. The veal Milanese had the most tender veal I’ve ever had. And the Linguine Vongole would’ve been enough for the whole table. My wife felt like we were back dining in Italy and we can’t wait to go back. Don’t hesitate to try it. And make sure you order some gnocchi they were incredible.“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Lisa was so great! Awesome food and good atmosphere.“

“My husband and I love the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl! I especially love the soup and salad and bread sticks too!! We went again tonight and we were so pleased with the exceptional service given from the moment we walked into the door at this Coconut Point location! We were greeted and showed to our seats right away. Our server, Tyler was attentive, professional, friendly and knew his job very well!“

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

“Tonight we were talking amongst ourselves about a good place to go get a bite to eat for dinner, and wanted to try a new place that we've never been to before. We decided to try this place out and I am very happy that we did! Being greeted at the door made us feel welcome and we ordered a large pizza and split a large salad. Everything was excellent and I definitely will be returning to this restaurant in the future! I strongly recommend they try this place out!“

“The Rib Eye’s are amazing!“

“My husband & I throughly enjoyed our time this evening!! Joanie & Paige were awesome!!. The food was excellent!! Thank you so much for a very nice experience Joine & Paige!!“

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

“There are so many “Italian” restaurants in town to choose from however, Toscano is different. Owners Diana and Antonio have succeeded in replicating a true regional style restaurant direct from Italy! If you want a standard chicken parm or pasta keep scrolling. However, if you desire a top quality and authentic Italian dining experience that you won’t soon forget…there is no need to scroll any further! Top quality ingredients, attention to detail, and pride of ownership abound. I am going back tomorrow! It’s not often that a restaurant exceeds expectations across food, service, and atmosphere, but this place delivered on every level, leaving me eager to return soon! I am confident in recommending it to anyone looking for a stellar dining experience.“

“Great food and our server Angel was great !!“

“We had the Parmesan chicken and pesto. Absolutely delicious with very generous portions. Highly recommend!“

“Delivery was great and on time. Driver was really nice. Food was excellent. Prices were excellent We will definitely make this our favorite eatery“

“Amazing experience!! Highly recommend!“

“Great traditional Italian restaurant!
Our favorites are the basic angel hair pasta, great meatballs & marinara; chicken francese; sautéed broccoli w garlic & spinach.
For dessert lovers, the Tartuffo Gelato, from New York, is outstanding.“

“Excellent meatballs, Cabernet, and service. Spaghetti was good, too.“

“The food at Olive Garden was absolutely delicious, everything was perfect. However, the service from our waitress, Allison, wasn’t the best. She seemed a bit distracted at times and it felt like she forgot about our table. Still, I want to highlight Brandon’s excellent attitude — even though he wasn’t assigned to us, he was very kind and attentive. Thanks to him, our experience was much more enjoyable.“

“Excellent garlic knots, salad and pizza!!! Thank you!“

“Best pizza, best pasta and best wings! A perfect restaurant!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Jimmie The Beef Guy! The Italian beef sandwich was just incredible. I've never been to Chicago myself, but my partner Ty has, and he said it tasted just like the real deal from back home. Plus, the owner was super welcoming and made the whole visit even better. Definitely a five-star spot!“

“First time here, visited after a doctors appointment with my mom and dad, very cute clean place.
We ordered the Sicilian pie with sausage and meatballs. Came out nice and hot 🔥 as we all took a piece and bits into it we we're all amazed, crispy deliciousness in every bite !! Very flavorful and hit the spot 🤌

Little Sicily thanks for making pizza 🍕 like back home!! Will definitely be back it's worth the hour drive 🚗
🍕🇮🇹“

“The owner was so happy and eager to give us the best dining experience he could when we walked in. I had the pastrami and my wife got the chicken parm. Both were delicious, but the chicken parm was definitely the hidden gem... Thick and juicy with a really nice red sauce.

I also enjoyed the pickles, they tasted homemade. The macaroni salad was unique and different than any other macaroni salad that I have ever had, but it was really good.

Overall, I would recommend this spot. It's being run by people who are passionate about food!“

“Badabing Pizza Co is truly a hidden gem! The restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. The owners are not only incredibly kind and down-to-earth, but you can tell they pour their heart into everything they do. And the food? BEYOND delicious!!! You can literally taste the freshness in every bite. Everything is homemade, made from scratch with their own special recipes—and it shows!!! The portions are generous, and the prices are more than fair for the quality and care that goes into each dish. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed!!!!“

“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!“

“Great place! Glad to be apart of the team.“

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

“The best Argentinean and Peruvian fine Cuisine! Come to celebrate with us any occasion! 4383 Colonial Blvd Ft Myers Fl 33967“

“Don't be fooled because it's in a large mall. The dough is hand made each day, scratch. The marinara is genuinely Italian, light, slightly sweet tones and not over powered by any sort of "Italian" seasoning. Cheeses are fresh and fantastic. It has that NY pie joint feeling in SWFL. A hidden gem. Personal one bite challenge 8.1. Great pie!“

“I love the pizza at Poppy’s ! You have to get there and try this pizza!“

“Best burger I ever ate & it was at a pizzerrea! Loaded French fries were great also. The pizza is really good also. But they need to watch the garlic knots when they are cooking so they don't burn. Al in all, I'd recommend friends Pizza to al.“

“Everything was excellent, Chicago style pizza was delicious!“

“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.“
