This place is more like a grocery store, meat market, and deli. It has very good fresh bread. Just…read morea warning, if you are going to get a cold sandwich from the deli, the white/ Italian bread is so so so hard and crusty. And I'm not saying that's bad, but if you don't have great teeth, forget it. Again, the bread is delicious and the cheese and meats are top-notch. I had the Italian sub but needed to heat it up in the microwave to soften the bread a bit. The wait times are absolutely ridiculous. Today they told us they were to shorthanded 4 people behind the deli counter and the wait was 45+ minutes. Some of the items are very very overpriced. The sub was not. It was about 10 bucks for the Italian sub. We bought the mozzarella with the tomato for $9.99 a pound. It was absolutely flavorless! I understand the mozzarella is fresh made, but the tomato was rockhard and ridiculous. SO disappointing. We paid way too much for that. Try it but good luck on wait times. Parking in back is better than waiting for a spot in the front of the store off 41.

My coworker insisted that this is the best restaurant in all of the Naples metro, but for me that…read moredefinitely isn't the case. I am still going to give this restaurant 5 stars because I absolutely love the atmosphere. I could sit in the bar all night and listen to the pianist play songs. There are zero TV's at the bar and the pianist really makes for an enjoyable night. Up first, I had an $18 Ember in Bloom which consists of: Los Vecinos Mezcal, Aperol, Watermelon Juice, Lime, Salt & Lime Zest Rim. Served on the Rocks. I thought it was pretty good, and better than most. It at least had a moderately smoky taste. I think I'm just extreme on liking drinks smoky. Then, I had the $15 Caesar salad. It was pretty standard. Nothing spectacular or bad, just standard. I was pretty starved so I got 2 entrees: $24 Meatball & Mushroom Pizza: Meatball, Fonduta Sauce, Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, Mozzarella, Basil, Parmigiano-Reggiano $28 Pappardelle 'Capri': Handcut Pappardelle, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Buffalo Mozzarella, Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil I thought the pizza was fine. Once again, very good, but nothing spectacular. And the same goes for the pasta. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but I wasn't particularly blown away by the food here. Like I said, a cool place to come relax and listen to the pianist.

Plenty of parking and there's also a gelato place right next-door if you want ice cream after. There's not very much seating in this pizza place you can definitely grab and go. There's maybe two tables near the front entrance that I saw. It also has a pretty cool free library and aesthetic was pretty nice for how small it was. They have a couple of sliced deals, or you can order by the pie. They even had some vegan options. I ended up ordering two slices and a drink, which you can choose a canned soda. I ended up just giving a sprite to someone else in my party. The two slices was quite nice, you can only choose from a list of the pizzas for it to qualify. One of the slice options, though is the chef's daily inspired specialty. Though when I asked about it and the chef was not in currently, so couldn't fulfill that request. It's all good though. My two slices were the Yo Paulie & the Ricotta Loves White. I loved the combination of those two flavors. The ricotta loves white had a nice texture to it and that cheesy flavor. The Yo Paulie had a sweetness to it. I could definitely eat a whole pie of the Yo Paulie. The server was actually so nice and gave us some pepperoni rolls to try. And boy did those things slap. It's almost like a cinnamon roll, but with pepperoni and savory.

Asparagus and mashed potatoes. It was a generous piece of fish. I was completely satisfied. My friends so enjoyed the salmon and vegetable pasta dishes. This is best Italian I've had in Fort Myers.

But the rest of the table ate it up) The flat bread was great too. It had black olives, figs, tomatoes and lots of cheese. For dinner we each ordered something different. I got the crab cake stuffed Salmon with seasoned spinach and mashed topped with, what i think the waitress said was lobster sauce.. altho my friend that got the seafood risotto was supposed to have the same sauce on top but hers was a much more red color. The risotto was another great dish. It had scallops, big shrimps and muscles in it. Cooked perfectly. My friend had the Sicilian Penne. He said: It was a delicious pasta dish with sausage and cannellini beans. The Gorgonzola cheese was an amazing addition that really took the dish to the next level. Our server Sydney was great. She let us know they were short staffed some wait ataff and she may have been backed up (there was probably 6 tables in there at the time idk.. where I waitress i have a 12 table station, and its fast paced..) but she still a great job.
