About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
At Molino's Ristorante, owner and native Italian Kanuccio Purisico captivates diners with a menu of mouthwatering Northern Italian fare. Dishes of calamari fritti, and clams oreganato entice appetites, and burbling waterfalls beckon outdoors as patrons find themselves in sunny Adriatic here in beautiful Bonita Springs. Our culinary team dazzle guests with authentic dishes such as the lambata di vitello alla griglia, a grilled veal chop accessorized with hot cherry peppers and mushrooms, or the rollatine melanzane, ricotta cheese rolled into thinly sliced eggplant and topped with tomato sauce. For those searching for ocean-fresh seafood try our salmone onde e terra, a cut of broiled salmon luxuriously lounging in a rich cognac sauce with a posse of peas, prosciutto, and mushrooms.

    Food was average - Rigatoni Bolognese, veal Parmesan, chicken Parmesan, and pollo portobello. Service was disappointing. Had to request lemon for water once and refills for water twice. No acknowledgment of slip, and waiter was not quite surly but close. Busboy was very pleasant.

    They didn’t have our reservation. It was so warm in there several of us couldn’t eat. We hardly saw our waiter. While we were ordering our waiter was interrupted by another table to get them a drink so our waiter stopped taking our orders to fulfill the other tables request. We were not offered cheese or pepper. Two meals were NOT warm and the food was mediocre. We were not offered dessert, so a busser got us the dessert menu after we asked. Then after 30 mins of waiting for our waiter to come over so we could get the check we finally had to go ask for it without getting dessert which were ordered to go through another waiter. Very poor service from our waiter. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone even someone without taste buds.

    Overall, very good. One of our dinners was not up to the usual terrific standards at Molino’s, but it won’t keep us from going back!

    We had a very nice table outside, live music out in the courtyard. Service was attentive and friendly, but they were very busy so nothing over the top. We tried the calamari and my husband and I shared pasta fagioli soup. I’d skip both next time, especially for the price. Soup didn’t taste awful, but was basically a bowl of beans with some microscopic pasta (seems the pasta needed more time to cook), and calamari was somewhat flavorless. Our main entrees were all very good - a couple in our group had veal dishes, cooked perfectly not chewy, the chicken eggplant dish was delicious. They also offer half orders of pasta which was perfect for smaller appetites and all very good!
