Service was abysmal. Plenty of wait staff, but sat waiting after water delivered too long. No bread. No one checking on us

Food was great. Our server, Cesar, was super helpful in helping us explain the dishes and what he enjoys. Made our family feel very welcomed. We will definitely be back when Cesar is working again. Highly recommended the pasta that they prepare in the parmigiana! read more

Yes. We were in Estero. The food was delicious. Service was a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful experience. read more

Casper was our waiter and was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly informed and helpful and very patient and kind. The food at Divieto's is always amazing but Casper was extremely helpful for picking out the perfect dish (I'm very indecisive and so waiters like this are extremely helpful!!) The woman who also served our food was amazing and super sweet! Honestly, anything you get here is fantastic, I got the mushroom risotto but I've also gotten the ruoto di parmigiano and salmon fusilli and all of it was wonderful!! Casper did fantastic and was also wonderfully patient and fun. Thank you to Casper our waiter and the gorgeous blonde girly that was delivering our food. 3rd time at Divieto's and every waiter, waitress, and server has been amazing! read more

The service was fantastic. The food was outstanding. The Ambiance it was decorated nicely, but was a bit loud inside it was quiet earlier when we first got there.but there wasn't any music. Outside was quieter, but depending on the weather. Everything we ate was the best we've had in Italian food read more

We ordered takeout from Divieto's last night and it was delicious! Definitely go with what's recommended because I generally assume that's what's best. My boyfriend ordered the mascarpone and it was AMAZING! So creamy and perfectly cooked shrimp. On the other hand, I went out on a limb and decided to order a less popular dish, the wild mushroom pasta. I won't lie - it wasn't great. I can also assume that it isn't one of their specialties and more of an oops on my end for not following the norms. I would for sure order here again based off of the recommendations! read more

Amazing food and service! Definitely top tier food and service. The ambiance is amazing. Staff is absolutely delightful. Definitely a go to. read more

I did my research before hand and I knew the exact meal I was getting which was the Frutti Di Mare Pasta, PROS: it is a seafood galore with shrimp, mussels , clams and calamari with a savory pomodoro sauce. It was very good with that hint of lemon and perfectly cooked seafood. I used the 15% of coupon that Yelp gives you if you check in . The coupon state "dine in only" I ordered takeout and The manager made an exception which was great because I saved $4. Food was done in about 15 minutes and it was a smooth visit. CONS: the pasta doesn't have Parmesan cheese , at least mine didn't. I would have like that addition . Really Dim lighting in restaurant , made me a little sleepy while I was waiting . Other than that , it was pretty good , I would come back and try another menu item ! read more

Mom and I decided to do something different for lunch today and drove down to Coconut Point. No plan and this was the first time we've dined here. Sitting outside on the covered patio was beautiful. The hostess seated us even before answering the phone which was a pleasant surprise...showed attentiveness to the customer. All the staff were pleasant and the manager even stopped by to check on us. The salads were fresh and delicious, as was the spritzer-see pics If I had been more hungry I definitely would have tried the Tuna Tartar. It sounded yummy. Will be back!! read more

We had the Tomahawk steak! OMG! It was excellent! Our server, Casper, was wonderful, made our night! The atmosphere was very cozy.

Great meal with excellent service. A bit pricey! Try the calamari. Atmosphere is awesome.

The food is exceptional, the service is very good. At times the noise level might be a little high for some

I have to add an extra star because this place is just awesome! I order take out! I got into their pear salad w grilled chicken and my husband loves their chicken Marsala e frutti di mare. Fast reliable service . Food is always good! Never a bad day. Not once and I order in a lot maybe three times a week. They are sweet and I love this place! read more

The best restaurant in Lee County! I am a total foodie and this place rocks. Not only is the food a 10/10 but the service is absolutely impeccable. Everyone where's a mask and wears it correctly! All the staff are very polite and go out of the way to make sure you have a great experience. Our server Josh was great! He was very helpful with the menu and didn't rush us to order so we could really enjoy each other's company. We made a reservation and I would recommend doing so. I will say the brownie dessert was a bummer, with sucks because the food was outstanding. I would like to see them have some better desserts, since it's a nicer restaurant. Maybe a chocolate lava cake or flourless chocolate cake. read more

Gaspare was amazing in every way! From wine recommendations to literally writing food / restaurant suggestions for our upcoming trip to his hometown in Italy. Our food was also phenomenal! read more

I love the selection of food at Divietos, especially the Alfredo pasta tossed with parmasean cheese in the parmasean wheel. For lunch, they have great options too! From shrimp scampi pasta or even the beef carpaccio with truffle oil and arugula is just the right portion for a satisfying meal. Check out the photos! read more

First timer at Divieto. Had a business dinner with 2 others. Divieto hit this one out-of-the-park! Good thing we resevered a table--they were very busy for a Monday night. Calamari app was hot and served very quick. Each of us enjoyed our entree--veal scallopini, veal parmigiana and ossobucco(?). Service was perfect--not too intrusive but timely. The desserts were just OK...nothing to knock your socks off. Overall, easy to give them 5-Stars. It was a very enjoyable evening! read more

Food and ambiance were great! Our table of four enjoyed bruschetta, fettuccine Alfredo made in a giant cheese wheel, and tiramisu for dessert. The girl who made our pasta in the giant cheese wheel was very friendly and a total sweetheart! Where it fell short unfortunately was service. Our server, Farouk, was very unfriendly and ultimately put a damper on our evening. From ignoring my husband when he wanted to place his initial drink order, taking too long to take our orders, and then when boxing up my friend's leftovers, he accidentally dropped a shrimp tail into her purse and then proceeded to dig into her purse to fish it out without asking her if it would be okay first. When we finished our dinner and paid our check he immediately grabbed the checks back to check his tip. But the cherry on top is after we paid he proceeded to sit in the empty booth behind us and stare at my friend as if annoyed we were still seated and talking after paying. I'm hoping this was an off night for him but overall it set a disappointing tone overall. read more

I have gone quite a number of times to Divieto and never disappointed however this past weekend. Must be a change in the kitchen but the food was very disappointing and tasteless. The table ordered a beef carpaccio and there was not condiment, usually some oil and lemon juice. The pasta with vongole was swimming in butter with non existent garlic like previous times it was made with olive oil and good amount of garlic. Needless to say, we will never go back and will no longer recommend the restaurant. The server did NOT disappoint. She was great! read more

Amazing, get the fettuccine alfredo tableside Great wine choices was a plus. Bar area is a lot of fun. read more

CHARGED TWICE ON VALENTINES DAY! This is NOT the first time this has happened. Be very careful when dining here and make sure to check your credit card statement! The first time this happened I figured it was just a mistake, although I have dined in many restaurants repeatedly, and never had something like this happen ever! However, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. On Valentine's Day, my husband and I went back and upon checking my credit card online I noticed yet again.YET AGAIN there was a double charge for the exact amount. What makes this worse is that I literally just got off the phone with someone who claimed to be the manager, but had absolutely no managerial skills. I told the girl on the phone what had happened and that I would like to speak with a manager, he literally picked up the phone did not say hello and just blurted out. Yes, everyone's card was charged double on Valentine's Day and we're trying to figure out what went wrong! He barely even let me get a word in when finally, I said you need to let me speak. I then proceeded to let him know that this wasn't the first time this has happened and it is very concerning. He then repeated the same exact thing saying everyone's card was charged twice on Valentine's Day and we're trying to figure it out! Are you kidding me?? he totally ignored that this is the second time this is happened. Needless to say, I have already contacted my credit card company and I will also continue to let people know to check their credit card statements. I can't even imagine how many people have no clue what is going on. Maybe getting a manager in that would try and speak to their customers in the correct manner would help me from thinking that this is some type of scam going on. very disappointing as there food is very good but we will NOT be dining here anymore. read more

Dined last week with a friend. The place was busy with good energy and ambiance. We did not have reservations but waited around the bar and a couple spots opened. Ordered a smoked old fashioned and it was very good. Then ordered dinner including the Oso buco and grouper entre and both were fabulous. Bartender was friendly, food arrived quickly etc. And the pricing is very reasonable, especially for SW FL rates. Look forward to returning. read more

My husband and I wanted to find a restaurant we hadn't dined at before to celebrate our anniversary. We looked at menus online and picked Divieto Ristorante and were so glad we did. The dining area is nice and even though the restaurant was busy, it wasn't too noisy which was great. There is an outdoor area that looked nice. I'm fairly picky about food. The fact that I'm raving about this restaurant says a lot! Emily, our waitress was just attentive enough without hovering. It was fun watching the Burst my Berry Bubble drink be made. It was a bit sweeter than I expected, yet good. If it had been a little less sweet it would have been perfect. The pear salad was the best I've ever had. The flavor of the dressing was perfectly balanced. My husband said the minestrone soup was slightly different, yet good. The fettuccine cheese wheel, and the lasagna were excellent. We went all out and decided to order dessert. The restaurant served us a mini brownie on the house and my husband wisely ordered the regular sized one for himself. They also gave us a bouquet of flowers and a card signed by the staff. We were both touched at the thoughtfulness. If you have a chance to go there you will be happy you did. We are looking forward to going back with family and friends. Reservations are needed. read more

WOW! From the atmosphere to the service to the food I don't know what was better. This was our first time dining here, made a reservation on Monday, and couldn't wait for it to be Thursday! Our server was Alyssa and she was an absolute delight. She was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the menu and just a happy person which made dining so much more enjoyable. My boyfriend and I both got the ultimate table side experience. THE CHEESE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Highly highly recommend. The store manager was a gem and extremely polite. We also got white sangria and can't wait to come back for more! read more

It took a while for the waiter to come over initially, but then service was good after that. In fact, the food came out quickly. I had the beef carpaccio as an appetizer and it was very good. Could have used more bread with it though. For dinner , I enjoyed a fettuccine Alfredo with grilled shrimp mixed in a wheel of cheese (table-side), which is their signature dish. It was fun to watch and delicious. Very rich too- I couldn't finish it all! Additionally, my mom enjoyed her chicken marsala. I addition to our entrees, We had 1 drink each and shared an app the bill was $80 plus tip. So you're looking at about $50 a person. I would go back. read more
