    Live music was way too loud for outside seating which we had. Order for child's pizza was missed so daughter had to eat well after family.

    Favorite italian restaurant in the Fort Myers area. Wish we had one back home in Michigan- love the entrées, and the Nonna cake - wish the tiramisu was a traditional layered offering. The pizzas are always thin crust wood-fired perfection, We visit at least once a week while snowboarding across the winter. It’s a little piece of Italy in the sunshine state.

    Sat outside and our waiter also had tables inside. Unfortunately inside got more of his attention. Bread came way too late. No check to be sure food was okay. Waited forever with dishes on table before we could even get check. One dish was good the other only so so. Screaming child next to us for at least half the dinner. Really just not a good overall experience. Will think twice before I return.

    Always a consistent meal here. Server was alittle distracting. Didn't get our order right, forgot our bread, didn't t fill water glasses. It was all corrected in the end.
