Best Lunch Restaurants in Bonita Springs

Excellent selections and preparations, service and food outstanding. A little pricey but a special place for special occasion.

It has become a family tradition for us to enjoy our Christmas lunch at this local restaurant and the team at Molino’s never disappoint! From the fettuccini salmon to the oso buco, to the tiramisu, everything we’ve ordered here has been excellent. Furthermore, the service is unparalleled in the area with a professional team of wait staff who really know how to work cohesively, thus providing a seamless dining experience.

The restaurant was very busy on Christmas Eve so it was noisy. However, that did not at all take away from our dining experience. Our server, Alana, was fantastic; always checking on us to make sure everything was as expected and we had everything we needed. We started with crab cake appetizers that were the best I have ever had. They are all crab meat, no filler!! My husband had the short rib ragu with tortellini that he loved. I had the salmon dish with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and asparagus. everything was outstanding. We both took half home so we could have room for dessert. In the past I have not like tiramisu but I had it in Italy and loved it so decided to try it tonight. It did NOT disappoint! Just the right blend of flavors and texture for me. We have dined here several times in the past and have never been disappointed.

Pleasant, knowledgeable, witty and helpful. Even took photos for us for my husbands bday. And she was busy too! Dinner was awesome we all loved our apps and meals! Always great at the Hawk!

What an amazing time we all had from start to finish! Service was great! Drinks were awesome! The place is gorgeous, I mean you seriously MUST see, especially the bar! Wow! I had smoked brisket tacos and they blew my socks off!! One friend had the paprika shrimp the other the pork chop and we all argued all night about who's dish was the best! 🙋🏼‍♀️ We will 1000% return
