Amazing service! My friend and I had complications with our takeout order and it normally would be very frustrating, but the manager Isdel took care of the problem efficiently! Very impressed with the management and definitely recommend! read more

Always a great meal with excellent service . The wheel of Parmesan is always a giant hit. My personal favorite is the Grouper Picatta. Bon Appetit! read more

When we entered, my first thought was there is something NOT unique about this place. And just now wanting to review it on yelp, I learned that there is another Divieto in Doral, Florida. Not just that, it seems like the kind of good, not great, restaurant you often find in southwest Florida. It could change names and change owners, but still be basically the same, nothing remarkable, unforgettable, that you love and cannot wait to return to. Ambiance is pleasant, trying to be a bit cool. And service is good. Miguel was professional and attentive. We arrived early and unfortunately were seated near the door to outside dining and near where the wait staff get glasses, water, etc. - a busy, noisy spot. Wine by the bottle can be expensive (at least $34/bottle), so we drank house wine ($8/glass). For antipasti, we had Calamari Fritti with squash and zucchini, $12.50. Fine. For entrees there are about five choices in each category - fish, chicken, meat. Pecan-crusted Red Snapper with parmesan polenta and sautéed vegetables ($29.25) was quite tasty. Veal scallopini with capers, mushrooms, fingerling potatoes, and broccoli rabe ($22.50) was also good. Bottom line: had a good meal. May return. However, did not experience the thrill of discovering a five star gem. read more

If I could give this restaurant more stars I would. We were given a gift certificate for here and boy I'm glad we did!!! The food and service is amazing. I highly recommend you check it out. read more

our whole party got their specialty dish- the Alfredo served in the cheese wheel($22)- with an added meat (add about ~$8-13). It wasso tasty and when serving our waiter also scraped out some extra cheese for us to sample since it was our first time. the cheese was so soft and good. we got a bottle of wine and it was amazing as well. when we left they also gave us a free appetizer for next time since it was our first time. Darker lighting inside and a slightly dressed up casual attire would be adequate all the way up to a dressed up date night. Would highly recommend ! ! ! read more

Our experience last night was magnificent! From the warm ambience of the interior design,to the fantastic service of Luciano, everything was on point! The food was fresh, delightful, and plated beautifully. We asked Luciano for his opinion on a few dishes we were considering, and his recommendations were knowledgeable and delicious, we loved them! The manager stopped by at the end and offered us a gift card for free goodies next time we dine with them! Of course we will be back! Keep up the great work! read more

Our favorite Italian restaurant around! Their Divietos tuna entree is so delicious and the smoky old fashions are the best!!

Great food , excellent customer service. I will definitely be back. Our waitress was so knowledgeable and accommodating Im so sorry I didn't get her name. We had the Lemon Sea bass special and the Filet mignon. Really enjoyed it. read more

I think very little of the cheesecake factory, Olive Garden and chili's but all of those seem like Michelin star cuisine in comparison to Divieto. The food was dry and crummy at best. I was seated in a room with no acoustical features, a room must have a sound absorbing material present in a restaurant; this room had none. I couldn't communicate with my family during our meal. I sat and ate a shitty meal without the ability to converse, I would have preferred to dine in a hospital cafeteria than at Divieto this evening. read more

To say the service was bad would be an understatement. In a restaurant with mostly empty tables both inside and outside, there is a 10-15 minute wait just to be seated because there are not enough servers. Once seated, don't expect the service to improve. The hostess is rude and unaccommodating and the manager clearly has no actual restaurant management experience. There are many other restaurant choices at Coconut Point. Skip this restaurant and select one that is more welcoming. read more

Nice restaurant centrally located. Nice atmosphere, but a little pricey for Italian fare.

We came with a large party of 20 and were running on a short schedule, and this Divieto exceeded our expectations. They served our food super quickly, the service was amazing, and they even accommodated a portion of our group who had to leave early. Devin was our server and she was wonderful! She definitely deserves a raise. Highlu recommend this location! read more

My wife and I joined friends here and wow, what a nice change from the old Bici. Nicely remodeled and very welcoming. The menu was very nicely explained by Steven, our server, as were the specials and suggestions for we "first timers" My wife and I both chose a Caesar salad to start and instantly you could tell the dressing was made in house. I asked to be sure and Steven affirmed that chef and staff make it up each morning. My wife opted for salmon and I the Rustic Ribeye. Both of us exclaimed that these dishes were very, very, VERY good. So much so that we're heading back this weekend to try something else. Why the Four Stars rather than Five? The noise level. It's a warm, welcoming experience but the noise levels are high enough that three of the four in our party had a significantly hard time hearing. Maybe we'll make reservations earlier for less of a crowd. read more

Good consistent food and service for reasonable prices. Good atmosphere in a convenient location.

They provided a wonderful anniversary dinner to my sister and her husband. The food was both delicious and the servings were substantial and very well priced. read more

Delicious and reasonably priced food. Nice ambiance. Our kids liked it too! The service was professional, patient and helpful. We will be back! read more

Hands down the best Italian restaurant and food in the area! Decided to check this place out after spending the evening shopping and as we were looking at the outdoor posted menu, another couple said eat here you won't be disappointed. It was a Friday night around 8pm and we only had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated. The waitress, Laura, was absolutely incredible - nice, helpful, and provided recommendations since it was our first time visiting. The bread with oil is so good and the perfect start. I had the pear martini and it was the best drink I have ever had. I ordered the filet and asked to substitute the mashed potatoes and asparagus for spaghetti. The filet was the best I have had - melted in your mouth with the most perfect sauce to compliment the steak and was cooked exactly how I requested. My husband ordered the table side pasta where they make it in front of you. Waitress told us the cheese was lactose free as well. The cheese was incredible and made this the best pasta we have both had. The creme brûlée was also the perfect dessert to finish off the meal. Even with all this food, dessert, a martini, and 3 beers, the total came to about $110...definitely worth it! Because Yelp was offering 15% off with a first time check in, the bill came to less than $100. This place is a must try if you like Italian food. You will not be disappointed! read more

I picked this restaurant because I thought it had real potential based on some of the reviews. I will say that I thought it was just OK. Me and my business associate had dinner here and on both of our side dishes of pasta, the sauce was light. The same was true for my veal parmesan, I had to ask for an extra side of sauce unfortunately it never came. We ordered one of the more expensive cabs on the list and unfortunately it was not stored in a cooler so we were drinking very nice cabernet at room temperature. The food tasted pretty good but the poor service and additional details mentioned above led me to give it three stars. read more

Delicious, great service. Had the Ahi Tuna appetizer, and caprese to start. Chicken Marsala was great also, as was the tiramisu. Prices are great, good value. Highly recommended read more

I had dinner at this establishment and was very Disappointed in the fact that I ordered the Sea Bass which is pricy that was accompanied by asparagus and risotto. I didn't want the asparagus and they would not allow a substitute which was the sautéed spinach stating that the asparagus wasn't a vegetable it was a garnish. That's news to me and unfair I think considering the price of the meal.However the Sea Bass was very good. read more

If I could give 5+ I would The food was amazing and the service impeccable! I highly recommend Divieto. Good, service, cocktails are all A+. It's been a long time since I have seen waitstaff so attentive and the manager came by twice to ask how we were. If you like Old Fashions definitely get the Smoked Old Fashioned read more

This is a special restaurant! I've been here several times and the service is excellent and so is the food. Large portions and delicious cocktails and wine selection. We were celebrating a Birthday and the brownie was a delicious ending to a Wonderful experience. The ambience is 5 star! read more

I have always been a regular. I typically love their quinoa salad and the grouper scampi. Today, unfortunately, left a bad taste. I placed an order via Uber Eats. After an hour or more, the driver arrived and they told him they didn't even realize an order had been placed and it was not made. He was nice enough to wait while they made it. I was annoyed when the driver texted me letting me know since that means I had to wait at home til it arrived. I called and it took 5 tries at least to get ahold of someone. I asked what was going on and she just said "accidents happen". I was frustrated, but decided to just leave it be. The food arrived and the dressing substitution I requested was not followed and there was no bread or even those breadsticks even though I requested it. I had ordered 4 adult entrees and wanted some bread to go with it. Lastly, my Grouper was lacking the lemon flavor and had bones in the first few bites. Disappointing for a $100 order and lack of customer service. read more

went with a big group to check this place out after hearing great things and the service was AMAZING at accommodating us. i got a salmon dish and shared the cheese wheel as an appetizer. all around, great tasting food, a tad overhyped but definitely would go back. read more

If I can give this restaurant a 10 plus I would. My husband and I contacted Divieto's and spoke to Juan Jos'e the GM to reserve a big room for our party we were having on November 2, 2019. Well....... We ALL had the best experience ever. We had 27 ppl in this party and everything from walking in being greeted in the front to the bar to being seated to our room, EVERYTHING was excellent. Our waiter PAUL was amazing and all the ladies and help were amazing as well. Nothing went wrong What great hard workers. Most important, we thank ALL THE CHEFS in the kitchen making this evening even better. God bless you all, the Genovese family really appreciated everything you did that evening. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Genovese read more

Excellent service, exquisite food. Estero location is a wonderful place for celebrations!!!! Love it!!!! It feels like I am back in Italy!!! Enchanted by the ambience. read more

Took 8 people at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon, got seated right away and drink orders were taken, drinks were good, slow service, had to ask for bread several times food was good , had the fettuccine from the 2000$ wheel of cheese, interesting taste nothing out of this world but good nonetheless, salad was tasty, overall a good dinner, service was a bit slow. I'd go back read more

Absolutely delicious. We walked in and were seated right away at a nice booth. We were immediately greeted by our waiter. Once we ordered our food came very quickly. Everything was delicious. My mom even said that the fettuccine was the "best she had ever had in her whole life." I got the pepperoni pizza which was also great. It was a very nice experience overall, and will definitely head back next time I'm in the area. read more

Very disappointed. Had to sit at a bar table because the regular tables were "reserved". Yet those several tables sat empty the entire time we were there. The same server we had could have helped us at a larger table. Second my friend ordered the sirloin for lunch. She could barely cut it it was so tough. I ordered linguine but had to ask and wait for a pasta spoon. I think an Italian restaurant should know that. No one asked us how our meal was. Server was polite but not friendly. I do not recommend. read more

Absolutely delicious and what a great atmosphere! My husband got veal Marsala and loved it. My daughter and I both got the Ruota di Parmigiano prepared table side and she educated us on the history and the cheese, great experience, cheese lover or not! My daughter added shrimp and I added steak. My steak was cooked perfectly and so tender, the shrimp was huge and grilled to perfection. We finished with cannolis and cheesecake. My husband said the cheesecake was the best he's ever had. The cannolis were fresh and creamy and more than enough to share. Our waiter Paul was very pleasant with a great sense of humor, knowledgeable and attentive. We did go late afternoon/early evening without a reservation; we waited less than 15 min for a great booth. This was our first time but it will not be our last! I will definitely make reservations next time because I think they will continue to grow and only get busier, we will take advantage before season starts again too! Thank you for a great time, We will look forward to next time! I do agree with another reviewer, Sinatra and the Rat Pack would be a better choice for music. read more

Divieto is well known for the expensive cheese wheel used to dredge pasta through it and served hot on plate. I absolutely loved the seafood ravioli but Divieto dropped the ball when it comes to preparing and serving meat. I ordered the oso bucco which is a very simple dish with simple herbs but Divieto served salt soaked pork which was tender but completely flavorless. I suggested to server that they brine the pork with the sprig of rosemary thrown on the plate for garnish with garlic to add more flavor. Funny thing is he understood where i was coming from. My wife's lamb was the same way.Flavorless and a bit tough for a lamb chop. Glad she ordered the Fig sauce on the side because it's over sweet flavor did not compliment the tough piece of meat. If you do decide to dine here stick to anything pasta parmigiana and stay away from the meat read more

Love it.. food never disappoints Drinks are amazing I think kindness is a precursor to work there. Everyone is so nice and accommodating read more

My wife, kids and I went to this great restaurant last Sunday which was highly recommended by a friend. As soon as we walked in the doors the atmosphere was very pleasant. The waitress we had was very courteous. She explained the process of the pasta in the wheel of Parmigiano professionally. The meal we all ate was delicious. I had the 40 oz Tomahawk steak which was delicious and cooked perfect. The prices were reasonable. We will definitely be going back soon. read more

I came here after this new Italian restaurant was recommended to me. Dishes I tried: Fiocchi Di Pera- This stuffed pear and cheese pasta with cheese cream sauce and candied walnuts was slightly sweet and savory. It was delicious but had a goat cheese like taste. Divieto Gnocchi- The potato dumplings were delicious and I am not usually a fan of gnocchi. The Italian sausage served with this dish though lacked luster. It was too chewy and fatty for my taste. Herb Crusted Salmon Salad- This salmon was one of the best I have ever had. It was perfectly cooked and blended very well with the salad. The salad contained cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, red onions, red peppers, and asparagus. The dressing was light. I would order this salad again and recommend it. I gave this restaurant a four out of five since even though the dishes were tasty, I would not order the pasta dishes again since they were good but not great. I would order the salmon salad again but the prices are very expensive. read more

Didn't like the tables without a proper table cover , or place mats. Forks were bent and unprofessional, the wine glasses were dirty. Food tasted ok but overcooked such as the tuna it was dry because it was cooked too long and we had asked for medium cooked. The restaurant overall was a tipical chain cheap restaurant. Won't recommend it at all. read more

Ate there 2 times while on vacation. Best Italian food. Every dish was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. Waiters are excellent and attentive. Highly recommend read more

Everything about this restaurant is top tier- the food, the ambience, and the service! Our server, Christina, was exquisite and really made our experience the best it could possibly be. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. I highly suggest dining here, specifically with Christina! read more

Stopped for an early dinner last night. The restaurant is in a nice shopping center. We were seated right away. We started with the carpaccio di salmone which is big enough to share with up to four people. It is different because of the sweetness from the sauce and capers which is weird because it's capers. It was definitely different. I had the branzino with vegetables which was delicious. I highly recommend this dish. The pork shank with risotto was the other dish we had, although the risotto was kind of bland but some salt and parm fixed that. The desserts were also really good, the creme brûlée was yummy but the ricotta and pistachio cake was so light and delicious that it didn't even feel like a dessert. It was perfect. read more
