Service was very good but kitchen was a little slow. Food was good but not amazing we had the lasagna, 9/10 mascarpone pasta 9/10, pear and cheese pasta 7.5/10and chicken Marsala 7/10. Bread and oil was very good as well read more

I came to this restaurant for my birthday. It is really beautiful establishment. The employees were very nice and helpful. The management team came around and checked on us at the table. If there was something that I did not like they replaced it and made it the best experience ever. The ambience was very laid-back and nice. And the food was amazing. They had a lunch special and I got the chicken Alfredo pasta, which was very good. The waitress and the waiter both had the best customer service experience that I could ever imagine. I was gifted with a birthday surprise which was very good and they also gave me a birthday card where all of the waitresses and waiters and the staff signed it for me, which I thought was very, very thoughtful. If you're in Fort Myers and would love to try some amazing authentic pasta dishes, I would highly recommend that you try this restaurant. read more

Enjoyed a really great birthday dinner here with my hubby! He surprised me with a new Italian restaurant to try. I had been craving Veal Parm and so I knew going into this meal, that was my dinner choice. Their menu was expansive with several appetizer, salads, pasta courses, meat, and fish dishes to select from. Plus seasonal specials! The atmosphere and décor is very upscale, black and white tile checker the floor, warm colors and comfortable leather booths with dark wood, and an open kitchen concept. Very old school Italian restaurant vibes with a modern flare. Our server was attentive and polished, presented the wine wonderfully and checked in enough but not overbearing or rushing us. We started up with the bruschetta and added prosciutto, very very good. Great flavors of balsamic, acid from the tomato, fresh basil, and generous amount of prosciutto. They offered house bread and dipping oil with fresh herbs - tasty! We split the caesar salad and I really enjoyed the dressing, light and unique tasting. Fresh greens and a great portion size to split. I of course had the veal parm, the pasta and red sauce was underwhelming but the veal breading and cook was perfect. Big fan! My husband tried the classic - spaghetti and meatballs. Unfortunately, the meatballs were not that tasty and he dared to wonder if they were frozen. He found the meatballs plus a meat sauce atop the spaghetti to be overkill. We finished with a tiramisu - delightful and fluffy! All in all - a great meal and glad we tried it. Give it a go :) read more

Best Calamari ever! So tender! Also got the FIOCCHI DI PERA for the table to share since we saw so many positive reviews. It would not have been a normal choice for Our party but it was delicious! read more

I've eaten here twice. The first time we had a wonderful experience and sat outside in the garden patio area. It's really quite nice. Second time had a couple of martinis at the outside bar. Bartender was friendly enough, but didn't feel like he was into any conversation. Went inside for our meal. My girlfriend ordered the steak and I got a pasta dish, which I can't exactly remember what it was. But I had asked for Pecorino Romano cheese for my pasta. Lo and behold, they don't have any! What kind of Italian restaurant does not have Pecorino Romano? Food was OK but definitely a bit pricey. I think you're paying more for the ambience than for the food. Unfortunately I have to cross this one of my list. Having lived in NYC for 25 years I think I know what good Italian food is. Their food is just OK. read more

This restaurant is gorgeous from outside to inside.very romantic and upscale feel to it.my absolute favorite part is the cheese wheel.They have a professional come out and tell the story about the cheese and put cheese with the pasta.I had shrimp and pasta and it was sooo fresh and good.I've never been to Italy but this feels so close to it.The staff 10 stars.I don't drink so it was nice to see a variety of mocktail drinks on the menu Courtney is one of the Managers and she took great care of us.I know that she loves what she do and enjoy working with her staff .I never seen a manager help out like she did.She need a raise.Sabatian was our waiter for tonight and he did great job.Very attentive,Came to the table and just made sure we was happy.The bathrooms where clean,it's kind of cold so I would bring a jacket and they have outside as well which is very chill.This place is great for any occasion. read more

Divieto Ristorante - Estero - Salmon - Italian Near Me - Estero, Florida

We enjoyed our lunch outside in the patio with great service and excellent food. We ordered salmon and frute de mar pasta

A few hiccups but overall an amazing meal here. I loved the interior and the exterior of the restaurant. The exterior has a very pretty floral drop that stands out when driving past. Definitely captured my attention for me to give them a try when there's a lot of options to dine in this mall. When we were seated at 11AM, our server explained to us that they are prohibition theme and their specials. What they were known for - which was the Ruota Di Parmigiano, alfredo pasta, that is tossed in their cheese wheel. We then ordered our drinks and were given stale bread. We notified them that this seemed like the prior day's bread as it was pretty hard. They took another 10-15 minutes to give us fresh bread. Big difference. Our server didn't seem to care. She had a very straight face throughout this meal of ours. She didn't apologize but she did have a manager stop by our table who did apologize about the bread. The fresh batch was delicious. We got our appetizer, the lentil soup and the calamari. It was my first time trying the lentil soup and I thought it was delicious! I loved it here. The calamari did state on the menu that it was with zucchini and squash. Unfortunately this appetizer was full of zucchini and squash and not so much calamari. Other than that, it was pretty delicious. Also tried their Caesar salad. Very impressive! That's a good salad. Our main meals were also tasty but heavy. We ordered the shrimp scampi pasta off the lunch menu which was $19. They used small shrimp with that dish. We tried the Ruota Di Parmigiano with shrimp. They used large shrimp here that was delicious. The pasta was extremely heavy though. Can't eat much of it. We had no issues using our Yelp Check In Offer of 15% off. It was a great meal here and very aesthetic. read more

I love this location, even for take out. The pappardelle Alfredo, delicious. The tomahawk steak made to perfection.

My family and I are frequent visitors to Divieto in Estero. We appreciate the classic, chill atmosphere which is always comfortable and cozy. The staff is excellent!! Never, ever had a bad experience- the wait staff is always kind, knowledgeable and helpful. The food is exceptional! I have tried so many dishes and all did not disappoint. The cocktails are yummy and fun. Divieto goes above and beyond to give diners the best experience. read more

I've always loved the food here--every dish I've had here is packed with flavor, and the atmosphere is fantastic. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. However, on my most recent visit, the service left a lot to be desired. It took quite a while for our server to greet us, and once we finally got our food, she never checked back in until we were completely finished. It was clear she was busy, but we felt completely overlooked throughout the meal. A simple check-in or refill would have made a huge difference. Regardless, the food was, as always, incredible, and the ambiance here makes for a great dining experience. read more

I was disappointed. We had take out from there several months ago and it was delicious ! We enjoyed it so much we thought we would enjoy a dining in experience. I was looking forward to a delicious meal like before. My husband had the Bonzino which he loved and I had the Chicken Marsala. I remember I loved the chicken Marsala before because they served home made egg noodles that were amazing. The chicken moist and sauce delicious. Tonight, I ordered the same thing only the Marsala sauce was very broken and it looked and tasted like egg noodles swimming in oil and not olive oil. There was a tiny bit of strong Marsala clumps that were inedible and I just couldn't eat it. I took it home for the dogs but I will need to rinse off the oil first. what a shame ! Ambiance was welcoming and service was OK, not great. Trying to do them a favor in case they didn't make sauce at each meal but in bulk I decided I should say something to the waitress. She was a little snippy even though I said no when she asked if I wanted something else and I would have rejected a discount. A sauce breaking could happen to anyone and I know sometimes it breaks right when being served. I was only trying to be helpful. I Was disappointed in my meal and service but the food is delicious enough I will go back and give it another try! read more

pasta was alright but their Manzzo Carparrccio is great! I got three orders of it. place is pretty nice with cute outdoor seating as well.

I came here for a birthday celebration not knowing what to expect. The restaurant was packed at 8:30pm when we arrived so I already knew it had to be good! They have black and white tiled floors, a dimly lit ambiance, the kitchen is halfway open, the bar is very inviting and the space is old timey Italian vibes. We were very satisfied with the service 10/10. The food was melt in your mouth. Everyone got something different: Chicken Parmigiana, Mascarpone Pasta, carbonara pasta, brownie, etc. the Mascarpone pasta was by far the best!! There isn't a thing on the menu that didn't look amazing to me, so this will have to be a go to date night destination! read more

Una experiencia excepcional en Divieto Estero! El restaurante tiene un ambiente encantador, con una combinación perfecta entre elegancia y comodidad. La comida estuvo deliciosa, cada plato mejor que el anterior. Pero lo que realmente hizo la diferencia fue el servicio de Franco -- atento, profesional y con una actitud increíblemente amable. Se aseguró de que todo saliera perfecto y nos hizo sentir como en casa. Definitivamente uno de los mejores lugares para disfrutar una cena especial. ¡Recomendadísimo y gracias a Franco por su excelente atención! read more

Came in for a friend's birthday dinner and sat in the private room with a large party. Although the room isn't as private as promised we had a great time. Alex really went above and beyond to connect with our party, explain the menu thoroughly and make it a full experience. The table side Alfredo was a bit of a letdown and wasn't much of an experience at all so I would skip it. Giving this place 5 stars solely because Alex really made it so enjoyable for us. read more

Excellent...! This is a place to go frequently if you are looking for great food quality, originally prepared meals and wonderful service. The food ingredients they use are evidently of high quality, the preparation and presentation is terrific and it is brought to your table with the most friendly and professional attitude. John was our waiter. Nowadays it is hard to find a restaurant to eat other than the same dish that you can eat anywhere, out of a box or frozen bag and presented with no special touch. Divieto delivers all this and more. Great job..! read more

Didn't leave a drop. read more

I came here for lunch with my friend and it was tastey! She started out with bruschetta which she really liked. I'm not too big on diced tomatoes so I didn't it. We both ended up getting the pesto gnocchi for our entree and I ate the entire thing! I got chicken and she got shrimp. It was very good! I was a little disappointed though because I ordered a drink that was supposed to be an experience and our server was instantly like oh no I new so when I come over with the bubble gum be patient with me! We said okay not a problem but when she arrived with my drink she said they were out of the stuff to make the bubble. I am left to think maybe she was just too intimidated to even try, or maybe they were truly out. The drink was food but really missed that experience with it. I love the vibes of the restaurant as they are upscale but not too fancy. Overall it was good and I will be back, as I want to try more of the entrees. read more

We've been visiting Divieto since we lived in Miami and have always enjoyed the food. We found ourselves here celebrating another anniversary and happy we decided on Divieto. This establishment is pretty busy so get a reservation before you head out. We sat in the patio which was perfect with the weather. We were greeted promptly and our orders were taken. Food took at best 15-20 min before it hit our table. The Carbonara was perfect! We really enjoyed our visit and the location. read more

It started with a phone call to the manager, Jose to request that the restaurant accommodate a party of 22 people on Valentine's Day. Our family was coming in from all over the country to celebrate my mom's birthday. Jose was exceptionally kind and made arrangements for us to be in the smaller room away from the crowd. Our servers were exceptional! The food was cooked to order and the drinks flowed. We can't thank the staff and management enough for such an amazing evening. This is an example of top notch service!
