37 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Went there at least 20 times last year.because they have a point system. Today I asked them for my points .not even half the bill.they said they converted there point system so I dont have enough points to pay for this meal.asked to see the manager but was to busy so all the points I had last year doesn't count. This place is a rip off .offer u points then said they were lost.guess I'll find a better place where they are honest“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“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.“

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

“My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience at this authentic Italian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere made it feel like a hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious, and you could really taste the freshness and care in every bite. The pasta was amazing and full of flavor. On top of that, our server Jamie was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right away!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Dining at Diana and Antonio’s restaurant truly feels like being transported straight to Italy. Knowing that they are from Florence makes perfect sense, because every detail — from the warmth of the hospitality to the authenticity of the flavors — reflects the heart and soul of real Italian dining. This isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience.

The eggplant Parmesan deserves special mention — it is genuinely one of the best versions I have ever had. Perfectly layered, thinly sliced, and full of rich, comforting flavor. Everything Antonio creates in the kitchen is amazing, crafted with the kind of care and passion you only find in true Italian cooking.

Diana’s gracious presence and welcoming spirit make you feel like a guest in their home rather than a customer in a restaurant. If you’ve ever dreamed of dining in Italy — this is the closest you can get without getting on a plane. A true gem! 🇮🇹🍷“

“Best Italian food in the Estero area. Their Italian dinners are exceptional & the portions are huge. This is an every day Italian restaurant which is family friendly. This isn't 5th ave. people, but the food is of the same quality. If you're looking for great traditional Italian food, try Nino's, you won't be disappointed.“

“We just ate there recently, and the food was delicious! The service was great, too. We thoroughly enjoyed it & will go back soon! Best Italian food around!“

“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.“

“Amazing experience!! Highly recommend!“

“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😎“

“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!“

“Pizza is very good. Real close to NY pizza. We had the meatball appetizer and they were good and not great. I know great meatballs as I made tens of thousands of them when running an Italian place in the early 70's. The real key is to not make them so dense mainly by incorporating grated cheese and eggs as binder along with bread crumbs, fresh parsley, onions and garlic Also one trick that no other Italian place does is to get the finished meatballs into a pot of sauce to soften while absorbing the sauce. The garlic knots we received were a big disappointment and we will not order them again. They were not fluffy like the pizza crust and were tough to eat. The red sauce was ok but it is missing spices. I think maybe nutmeg, grated cheese,and Italian spices would add some flavor and bite. Overall though pleasant surprise and we will be returning. I am interested in getting their sausage with peppers and onions hoagie. Bravo.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and top notch service!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Been coming here for a couple years now periodically. The staff is always friendly and, most importantly, the pizza is always really good!! Tanya was very kind and helped me figure out what I was trying to order even though I didn’t know the name lol. Thank you to the staff as always, and an extra special thank you to Tanya!! Keep up the great work guys!“

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

“Best Italian Beef sandwich in SW Florida. And I have have had them all.“
