This turned out to be a very good choice. The food and service were excellent. In particular their version of a Margherita pizza was so good with the fresh tomatoes and pesto. The chicken marsala and the the fresh salmon were top notch. We tried the clams app and the sauce should be bottled and sold it's so good. The Spanish sparkling water was light and refreshing. We've already told some friends about El Gaucho and we're returning with other friends next week. read more

The food is excellent- we started with a beef empanada, my husband thought they made it right before they bought it out because it was so light and flaky and fresh, we could have eaten them just for dinner but luckily we split one! He ordered the chicken fettuccine Marsala, he said it was excellent! I ordered the vodka rigatoni with chicken so much flavor, perfectly balanced, next time I would ask for the chicken to be cooked differently - It just kind of blended in. I also ordered a Belvedere lemon drop - one of the best ones I have had! We had them box our dinner so we can eat desert! I had the lemon cake and espresso (double) way too much, I should have ordered a single but it was strong and good! He had the ricotta pistachio cake which he said was good but he liked mine better! The ambiance - date night, quiet and kinda a Roman vibe! The service was very much like we had in Europe making it an authentic experience read more

Toasted ravioli's and small pizza to go dried out overcooked. 2 of us couldn't finish since too dried out.

While waiting for my car to charge, my husband and I stopped in to this location for dinner. We were greeted promptly and shown to a table. We started with the rice balls, which were pretty tasty. My husband had shrimp and I had a pizza for our main. It was OK nothing very memorable that I would state. The food was fresh. The service was decent. The restaurant had a good ambience. In the area there were many options. this was definitely one of the better ones. read more

El Gaucho Trattoria - Arancini balls - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

What a well kept secret! This fabulous Argentinian / Italian restaurant just opened in May and it checks all the boxes! The food was amazing! All sauces are made fresh each morning and they were delicious! Both the Pesto and the Marinara sauce were so fresh and homemade! The service was so warm and inviting. The ambiance was comfortably romantic. We dined al fresco in the garden on a hot summer night and it couldn't have been more perfect. Enjoy this restaurant while it hasn't been discovered yet because once it has been, reservations will be hard to come by! read more

This place is so unassuming. Tucked in to a shopping plaza, you'd never guess it has some of the best Italian food in regards of flavor and presentation. Mariana was our server and bartender. She made an espresso martini that was the second best my girl has ever had. That is a high bar to pass. My dirty martini with blue cheese olives was excellent as well. We had the calamari to start. They were so lightly breaded, you could see thru the breading to the white flesh beneath. So tasty. She had the chicken francaise and when it came out, she had no idea it would be so big! Definitely come hungry. I had the Seafood a la macho. It said it would be spicy, but it wasn't. It was delicious though. So much calamari in it, I couldn't tell where they stopped and the noodles began. That's another great for them, each dish, you pick the noodles it is on. All in all, this was a great little spot that was a surprise to have Argentinian Italian food that hits so good! read more

Food - 5 stars Service - 2 stars Background music - negative 10 stars The veal marsala I had was some of the best veal I've ever had. My wife said her spaghetti + meatballs was very good. So food wise, really good. The service was awful. It took forever for the waitress to come by, then another 5 minutes for her to come get our dinner order. And she never checked in and so we had to flag her down for an additional napkin and then flag her down again to pay. The ambience is blah. And the music they had - awful. read more

Wow, just had an amazing dinner The atmosphere was cozy and intimate . The service was top-notch, and the food... oh, the food! Fresh pasta, rich sauces, and generous portions. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

Food was good but the service terrible. And the decor & ambiance aren't great. Too many other good restaurants in the area - I won't return. read more

Such a wonderful hidden gem! We stumbled upon this charming restaurant hidden in the corner of a strip mall in Bonita Springs. We sat outside on the patio and the ambiance was that of Ravello Italy. Quaint, quiet, great service and delicious food. We will definitely return for another fabulous evening! read more

This is our third time at this restaurant. Victor was our very competent and pleasant server who was harried because they could have used an additional server or buss. My wife and I had the fried calamari as an appetizer. It was light, crispy and tasty. The portion was a little small but good nonetheless. My wife ordered the linguine with clams in the white wine and garlic sauce. This is the second time she has had this dish. She loved it both times. I had the porcini mushroom sauce fettuccine with four nice pieces of veal. It was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten. The veal was tender and quite tasty. I heartily recommend this dish. Since it was my birthday I was given a complimentary piece of an excellent tiramisu. It was light and tasty. Not too rich. The two other couples with us had the Caprese and a Caprese with prosciutto. The two gentlemen each had the seafood fra diavolo which they both enjoyed very much. One of the ladies had the eggplant parmigiana with pasta and the other lady had chicken parmigiana with pasta. All in all, we enjoyed our meal very much. Food quality was very good but the staff shortage detracted from the experience and hence four stars. I would give my entree Five stars. read more

This is a lovely new restaurant in Naples/Bonita Springs. We heard about it by accident because we are fans of the Gaucho Inca and the Gaucho Inca Deli. This is their newest concept. It is difficult to see from the road because it's deep in the corner of the shopping center. We ordered the Scampi with Penne pasta and a traditional Argentine pizza with roasted red peppers, ham and green olives. The crust was on the thin side, which is fine, although traditionally Argentine pizza has a thicker crust. But the flavors were definitely on point. Well done. FYI the olives do have pits, so be careful when you take that first bite. We enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. We will definitely be back. read more

This is an awesome new restaurant in the Naples and Bonita Springs area. The ambiance is great and the food staff is outstanding. Our waiter gave us wonderful recommendations. I was looking for an Italian placed that served Spaghetti Carbonara and theirs was good and truly authentic. The appetizers were great as well as the main courses. Loved their Sangria as well as the desserts and cappuccinos. I have been to their other restaurant in Estero which is also great as well. Will be coming here again. read more

Food was good, service was very attentive. Ambiance we very nice drive were good but nothing exceptional

Must Try! Stumbled upon this restaurant (read good reviews) so I tried and loved it. Eat at bar, very friendly and professional staff, not rushed but all 3 courses of my meal were awesome. Wedding soup-Veal with pecorino mushroom sauce and the vegetables cooked perfectly (they substituted instead of pasta) and the Tiramisu was the best. Nice wines. Must try. Hidden in the corner and not sure if I noticed a street sign. read more

Excellent service. Victor was our waiter. Appetizers were ok. Caesar salad average. Arugula good. Caprese ok, tomates could have been riper. Two of us were disappointed in carbonara. Could only taste guanciale and oil, not creamy egg and cheese. Chicken piccata and veal Milanese excellent. Generous portions. Will return, but not for carbonara. read more

Food was amazing, server was knowledgeable about the menu. Can't wait to try out the Brazilian one in Estero

We just had dinner here last night and they are only on their 2nd week of opening but WOW! Food was amazing. It's a fusion of Italian Argentinian and Peruvian menu. We had veal piccata, scallops carbonara and chicken Florentine. The garlic knots are fresh from the oven and the Burrata salad was totally awesome! Could be a nice date night location! Service was excellent! Definitely a come back again to try the meat! read more
