Best Italian Restaurants in Fort Myers Beach

We regularly frequent Terra Nostra and it doesn't disappoint. Starting with the bread, fresh out of the oven. I love the olive butter with oil, but my kids and husband don't so they request butter. The Caprese was fresh and delicious. My husband had the Marsala (always does) and LOVES it. I had Chicken Picatta and finished it all. So good. My son had lasagna.....delicious (a bit too cheesy for me), but he loved it and couldn't finish it. My other son had the veal Saltimbocca and loved it. I tried it and it was good but not my favorite, everyone is different! Ethan was our server, and he was so awesome, efficient, friendly, on top of it all. It was incredibly busy, and he didn't skip a beat. This restaurant is consistently excellent. The manager (sorry, don't know his name) is always there and on top of it all! We highly recommend!

Another great dinner at Rae’s, this is our third time and never disappoints. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Our server Mandy was very engaging, attentive and made sure we had a great meal. As ever the views were great including the sunset. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I was packed Valentine’s Day but we got our seat right away (with reservation!) and asked for our drink selections right away. Had time to enjoy and review the menu before approached for order, questions were answered as well. Dinners were amazing, and portion were enough to take home for lunch! They also accommodated our request to split our salad, no issues with that. Had the chocolate cake for dessert and it was really mile high and delicious! Will be going back again for the restaurant and to shop in the gourmet store in front.

Excellent, attentive service, great food. The warm bread is to die for! I would ask for the Calamari Arrabiata to be spicier, but that's a personal preference. Easy to get to, easy parking, and one of our favorites.

WOW! This was our first experience at Limoncello and it was one not to be forgotten. I have to say, hands down, the absolute best homemade ravioli I have ever had in a restaurant. The food here is amazing. We had a reservation and we were enthusiastically greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Our table was ready and as soon as we were seated, we received water, drink orders and bread service (I must add that the aioli that was served with the bread was amazing) within just a few minutes. The staff here runs like a well-oiled machine and everyone worked together efficiently to ensure that the needs are met. Our main server (we regret that we do not remember her name) was lovely. She answered all our questions and was well informed on everything. She was gracious and kind and we felt like we were dining in someone’s home, rather than at a restaurant. My husband and I both ordered caesar salad (delicious and the right potion size). The salads and entrees were perfectly timed. My husband had the Raviolia alla Boscaiola—absolutely fantastic. WIth every bite, he shook his head with delight over how good it was. I tried it and the sauce was rich, yet delicate. The ravioli tender and flavorful. I had Ravioli di Vitello, an incredible dish that I am actually still thinking about today. It was incredible. The sauce was creamy without being too heavy, the ravioli (veal and ricotta) was tender and the beautiful flavors really came throughout the entire dish. Seriously, amazing homemade pasta at it’s very best. During our meal, we were already planning our return. Limoncello is on the mark. Their excellence shined through and we would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for authentic, Italian food served with warm hospitality.
