Reviews for Caffé Toscano in Fort Myers, FL
Service was poor, asked for bread at the beginning came out when we were though eating, refused it. My husband ordered... Bolognese, was just ok, a large fork full portion for $25.. I had Amatriciana, it had a weird taste and I sent it back. Forthose of you who rate this place above 3 stars, you certainly are NOT aware of what good Italian food is.....I was referredthere by a friend and I will not pass on the courtesy. Read more
Amazing food. Waitress was friendly & very attentive! If we lived here it would definitely be a place to be a regular.
Some of the best Italian food you will eat in this area! The Gnocchi are pillow-soft and nutty and to die for! The Veal,... fork-tender, in an outstanding sauce. Delicious wine and dessert. Casual yet upscale ambience and wonderful service. This is amust stop for those in search of the better Italian choices! Read more

Caffe Toscano is light years away from chain Italian food. This is the real deal cooked by native Italian Antonio Durante using... the best ingredients he can import combined with the freshest ingredients he can find locally. Because of this, you need tounderstand that real food does take time to cook. Chef Durante elevates food to artistry, so simply plan for this timing whenyou place your order. We've enjoyed dining at Caffe Toscano ever since it first opened. Because of the current climate, we weredelighted when we discovered Chef Durante reopened after the government-ordered restaurant shutdowns and had transformed hisgourmet Italian cuisine exclusively into a gourmet-to-go experience so we could enjoy fine dining at home with the restaurant'scurbside pickup. Each week, he rotates longtime customer favorite dishes on the menu so he can keep everything at its freshest.You can get a full gourmet meal to go from appetizer through dessert, and even select the perfect wine to enjoy with it. Thefood is packed in sustainable brown cartons. Here are some dishes we ordered recently, with photos: Burrata Caprese salad Thecombination of some slightly bitter greens (perhaps arugula) in the salad complements the sweetness of the tomato. This allcontrasts with cool, semi-liquid cream center of the ball of burrata cheese, which flows out when the chewy exterior that issimilar to fresh mozzarella is cut. Light drizzles of fine olive oil and balsamic vinegar with ribbons of basil over the top setit all off. The bottom line is better greens lead to a better salad. Olives Who knew olives needed, and could benefit from,preparation? Chef Durante marinates a variety of olives in olive oil and spices. This reduces the saltiness of the olives. Whenserved with cheeses, the different flavors in the spiced oil brings out the nuttiness in the aged Italian cheeses. Crostini DiFegatini This smooth house-made chicken liver pate served on toasted bread with olives makes has a r Read more

Caffe' Toscano, McGregor Blvd., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. Chatter... I have been here for 7... years and have not known about this place. This is a nice authentic italian place. I order the Carpaccio di Bresaola. Amarinated slice beef. Served tarte. Very italian, a little pricy. I have never had this before. It was lite and healthy. Ohyes tasty. Plus a soup with bread that had olive oil on top. For dessert a cannoli . Over all food was delish.A hidden gem ofa place in Ft. Myers. The cannoli... I an not a fan of cannolis...they all taste the same ( just like beans at mexican places).This was fresh it was good but just like other joints. I must say this can be a romantic place. Just check it out to see if itmeets your needs. Service was excellent. Read more
