The food was delicious! I had "GF Wild Mushroom" and my sister's all had the "Ruota Di Parmiggiano" there signature dish (both dishes were so delicious and I highly recommend both but from the taste of these two I would imagine everything is pretty delicious on there menu. The service was fantastic our server was prompt and efficient,kitchen staff was excellent with time! The atmosphere was great, casual but you could dress up if you would like (we seen a mixture of both) pricing was very reasonable. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm here to visit so we can dine again! read more

We were celebrating a life well lived, repast luncheon. The entire staff could not have been more helpful. With these types of luncheons, the number of guests is often a moving target. They worked with us to adjust the seating on the spot. We had pre ordered appetizers to be served upon arrival and they made sure to adjust those quantities to serve our additional guests. Brandon our server took care of the now larger group with ease, efficiency and a warm smile. The food was delicious--enjoyed their meals. The kitchen was able to put out all of our meals timely and prepared perfectly. We've eaten here a few times--all of our experiences have been great as well. They took very good care of our family at what was a very sad time. Appreciate the care and attention they gave to my family. read more

The location in Miami/Doral was excellent last time I was there, so I was expecting a great experience in Bonita; I was not disappointed. Sat outside on a nice evening in a pleasant patio. I had the Siciliano, it was great. Wifee had the Chicken Madeira and absolutely loved it. Guests had Lasagna bolognaise and chicken piccata and loved the place. Only problem there is that they need to enlarge the restaurant! Make a reservation days in advance or eat very early or very late. read more

Went here for my birthday and it was very good. They give you good size portions and have a lot of options. My fiancé got the pasta in the cheese wheel. read more

Some of the best Italian food and hospitality we've encountered. My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner. We started with Arnold Palmers for drinks (very tasty). We had the delicious eggplant parmigiana appetizer. For entrees I chose our waiter Jose's favorite meal, the Mascarpone with penne pasta, grilled chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, carrots, and peas in a succulent cream sauce! So good! My husband had the Madeira with tender chicken medallions draped over a bed of mashed potatoes with asparagus in a wine reduction.. I have to say my food was very good but that sauce! Amazing! For dessert he had the brownie with ice cream with warm chocolate and berries and I had one of my favorite desserts, creme brûlée.. both were perfect endings to a perfect meal. I can't leave out a comment about our waiter Jose he was so charming, pleasant and attentive. JJ, one of the other waiters was a hilarious. You could tell the staff love their jobs and entertaining customers.. we had two managers stop by to check on us and we couldn't stop talking about how great our meal was.. at the end of our meal the manager brought us a card signed by many of the staff members.. it really was a level of detail we hadn't seen in any other restaurant.. our experience at Divieto was superb! We can't wait to visit again! read more

I am a regular guest for dining in. The food is good and service is ok. Today I wanted to order a takeout. We order mussels, antipasto, and pasta with clams. I get my takeout order and their was no bread. I asked for bread and the manager said that it would be 5 dollars for bread. If I ate in, it would be included. ​​My takeout was 80 dollars. Come on.. I didn't like the managers attitude and the way she talked to me. I am not going there again. Thanks,for ruining my dinner. read more

Service was excellent, the food was fair. I got the veal and it was overcooked as was the pasta.

Excellent food. Try sitting at the bar if tables are all full. Pasta is delicious. Drinks are always good.

I returned to Divieto this past week for the parm wheel pasta. I had my granddaughter with me and thought this would be a treat. The food is always good. But the service was sub-par. Maybe they thought a grandmother and child wouldn't tip well? Who knows. It was clear that they didn't give a hoot about us. They put us in a corner and barely paid attention to us. Next time I go (and I will go for the food), I will insist on a booth. Oh, I know I should have said something. read more

This place was amazing! Our server was Brandon and he was really nice and attentive. The food was full of flavor. The have a great red sangria. The serve delicious bread.

Our overall experience was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. The menu offered a variety of food choices and our food selections were yummy. We will recommend this restaurant without reservation. read more

Fettuccine Alfredo made in a giant parm wheel.... need I say more? Crisp Cesar salad and red pepper soup was amazing!

First dinner on our vacation (celebrating my birthday) - wife excited to have the tableside fettuccine. Five for dinner. Ambience is wonderful, although some Sinatra would be better than the pop music that was playing. Appetizers were excellent - fried items not greasy, Burrata perfect. Our server, Lauren, added to the wonderful start. Tableside pasta preparation was amazing! Wife and kids absolutely loved the rich creamy pasta, and added proteins were grilled perfectly. My entree - different story. Could Not replace fried polenta (deep fried cubes, tasted oily when tried), so had it plated separately and ordered an additional polenta parmigiana side (this was excellent)). Six lamb chops - flavor was amazing, but requested medium rare, not jerky. One chop was perfect, two were well done, three were almost well done. Apparently Chops far too thin to control temperatures properly. Definitely not edible in spite of flavor. Returned mostly untouched (charged though). Sad to think the best part of my meal was a polenta side that I had to order as an addition. Excellent service, great pasta tableside prep- but mixed feelings because I was quite disappointed. We've dined in this area for nearly ten years, and I regret to say my lamb chops were the best flavored, totally overlooked, lamb chops I've had l Will consider returning, but unsure. Happy birthday to me, I guess. read more

Casper is amazing! Food was great! Service was 100%. Very friendly staff. Wonderful ambiance!

We were in the restauranChicken Madeirat tonight and the electricity went out when our food came. The food was good, but we had to wait for quit a long time to pay and all they offered was a free app next time. We are in Fl so it was getting warm. Just surprised they did not give a free drink or discount since we were there in the dark for some time. They also said was the second time this had happened. read more

What an awesome experience. I called and made an reservation because I figured the restaurant was a hot spot. I'm so glad I did! Our waiter was amazing. He gave us detailed information on the special items on the menu, like the soup of the day, fish dish of the day, the most popular dishes etc. Almost everything he recommended, we ordered. Lol. We ordered a bottle of wine, Moscato Di Asti. The presentation of our food was beautiful and it tasted unbelievable. I sampled my sister's chicken parm and I had food envy, definitely. Lol. I can't wait to visit the area again and eat here again. read more

Amazing food and service is spot on!! Bar is a great hangout to chat up the bartenders and have good service!

Good food. Great atmosphere both at the restaurant and the center bar at the promenade. Service was good efficient and friendly. A bit pricey for Italian food but quality was very good. I would suggest making reservation during the high season and indoor seating during the summer months read more

Happened to try this restaurant on a whim. Pleasantly surprised by the very good experience. First, the food was VERY good and served hot, and reasonably priced. The atmosphere and vibe was good, though a bit loud. Definitely will try again. read more

It was delicious, our waiter was great, thanks Brock! The service was great, their was many people helping make it a great experience, your efforts did not go unnoticed! We sat outside because inside was packed inside, the next available seating was at 6:45 so for future make sure you make a reservation if you want to eat indoors. We arrived at around 5:30. The weather was decent a bit rainy but cooled it off to making the outside a pleasurable dining experience. The mussels appetizer was fresh and great tasting sauce we practically drank it. The lentil soup was great my mom inhaled it. I like that they don't over salt their food. read more

Excellent . Beautiful restaurant , great authentic menu & exceptional service . We came in for dinner after doing some school shopping . After doing some school shopping , we looked for dining options . After doing some research , we decided on Divieto , Italian for prohibition . We started with appetisers ; Eggplant , truffle fries & polenta . The polenta was the star . When an establishment is able to accomplish simple items exceptionally , the more nuanced options will be executed with care . The only draw back to the appetiser course was that the eggplant was a tad salty . This is probably from when the eggplant is prepped & salted lightly to drain the water from the vegetable ; this particular time , the salt was probably applied too heavy handedly . For dinner we had the capellini with mushrooms , spinach & sundried tomatoes as well as the gnocchi formaggi . Both exceptional . The pomodoro sauce is smooth , supple & simple ; where the tomato was allowed to shine through . Again , exceptional work on giving this simple sauce the ability to stand on its own . The bread is just enough & comes out on a cutting board with a moderately dull knife . Portions are proportionate to price points . Desiree's service was attentive & she was always there at the right time . I wish I could say that service everywhere was as detail driven as this . The icing on the cake of the entire evening was that I was able to get ristretto espresso . After serious mulling , I am glad we chose Divieto . I recommend Divieto . Especially if you have an itch for authentic flavour . If the company is looking to expand , I vote heavily on a Sarasota location . read more

Excellent place for Italian cuisine. The staff are friendly, and the place looks great .

Divieto's Ristorante, wedged in the Coconut Point Mall of Estero, fuses traditional Italian & classic American cuisine in a prohibition like classy joint. This trendy Cocina Italiana provides a classic New York version of a trattoria vibe with its dim lighting, ornate tin ceiling, black & white checkered floor tiles, open kitchen and sleek booths. Divieto's crafts Italian specialty dishes, tosses fresh salads, grills steaks, bakes crispy thin crust pizza, creates sweet Italian desserts and even serves up local fare with the refreshing Jicama Tacos and Tropical Tuna Tartar. But the BIG deal here is the signature dish... Routa di Parmigiana, Italian for "wheel of Parmesan". Luxuriate in one bite of this rich & velvety Fettuccine Alfredo prepared in the 18 to 24 month-aged Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel, and you'll see why this flamboyant presentation is the ultimate showstopper. A well trained server will appear table-side with the artisan cheese wheel and scrape a heaping mound of fresh, salty Parmesan shavings from the bottom...continually deepening the mixing bowl of all mixing bowls...and then perfectly cooked al dente noodles are ceremoniously swirled around in the cheese wheel and enveloped with butter, cream and ribbons of cheese, creating a unique flavor and finish. The expansive back Bar serves up Italian & American Wines and House cocktails that complement the ravishing menu. Live entertainment commences the ambiance, a spacious indoor terrace accommodates large parties, a cozy veranda has outdoor seating and an exclusive VIP Room renders privacy for those special celebrations. Mangia tutti..."Everybody eat." read more
