I travel all over the US and I rarely find pasta ala olio that matches my nona's. This restaurant is the exception. It is outstanding. When I saw they had closed on Pine Island, I was devestated but relieved when I found them downtown Cape Coral. The staff is friendly and accomodating. It is true that sometimes they run out... More

I was so excited when I seen this restaurant in the South Cape, but unfortunately they are not the same. The waitress (who I believe was the wife of the owner) was unfriendly. She seemed annoyed that we came in to eat, and she told me that they did not serve expresso. That would be fine except right before we... More

We felt as if we were part of la familia. Delicious food. Jamie aka snot waffle was an amazing waitress. Everyone was so friendly, we were even offered a ride home from Vinnie. Mimmi was gracious enough to give us an autograph and a cook us a delicious home cooked authentic meal. Thanks for a great experience!!

After our first dinner here, we were anxious to come back and try it again. They were out of arancini the first night and the waitress told us to call ahead to reserve a couple servings (they don't take people reservations just food reservations). It was worth making a second trip to eat this tasty appetizer. You can bring your... More

Homemade food - hot and delicious. Small place - hard to get in right now. Good Italian food made right there by family.

a really true family spot to dine well. all dishes cooked with love. like dining in sicily.superb calamari and arancini. they are dedicated to good food and service

A wonderful evening of fun, food and wine. This is a terrific addition to the Cape Coral restaurant selection. Where do you go for the staff and owners to know you by your first name? Food is delicious. It has become a regular family favorite.
