Quick late lunch at this little neighborhood place. Amanda was our server and we ordered two Greek Salads and there was warm garlic bread with herbs and olive oil. We shared the combo plate, eggplant rolatini, a large meat ball and manicotti. I liked the manicotti the best- it was nice and creamy and delish. Everything was covered in a homemade marinara sauce with cheese. We really enjoyed our lunch and the portions were perfect to share! We love to support our neighborhood businesses and shall return! read more

North Fort Myers does not offer a whole lot. Fatto is worth going to as an American Italian restaurant. The variety of dishes are sufficient. Everybody should be able to find something they will like. It is casual and far from upscale. Easy to relax. Staff has always been attentive. Take out has always been fast and error free. (Thank you Back of the House). I never tried the pizza so no review on that. They have wine as well. read more

Does a restaurant have to be authentic to make it worthwhile? Not necessarily. If the food tastes good and the price is right, I'm okay with that. If two of you want salad, share a large order of what they call Greek salad -- which isn't Greek! It's got sliced green olives, tomatoes, feta crumbles and strips of boiled ham on top of romaine. For the extra dollar, you're getting a little more pizzaz than the regular house salad. While not on the menu, you can ask for chicken piccata -- which isn't really piccata. Sort of a variation of marsala, it's not bad. BUT you get an overload of pasta and only two small and thin slices of chicken. The dish needs at least another slice, even if they have to charge more. House wines are reasonably priced at $28 a bottle. We stick with merlot. And what's REALLY good are their $4 cannoli's. Fatto A Mano is a neighborhood joint, popular with an older crowd. Servers are friendly and on-the-ball. While not the best restaurant in town, I'm glad it's there for a quick and casual meal. read more

According to my Italian friend, Fatto A Mano means handmade rather than mass-produced by machine. Fatto A Mano is family operated restaurant in North Fort Myers and has been on my radar screen for some time. Flying solo, I stopped by and to sample their dish. Well, it was packed during Thursday lunch time. There were many pizza pies and pasta dishes like eggplant Parmesan and Lasagna, on patrons' tables. This is a good sign! My first visit, I just ordered an iced tea with Fettucine Shrimp Alfredo. The fettucine is well prepared with creamy Alfredo sauce and shrimps. I have the lunch portion and the shrimps is on the small size. However, it was delicious! The hot bread and sauce just make my perfect lunch! Ami, the waiting staff was friendly and amazing. She managed 8-9 tables with ease! Fatto A Mano has a wine rack with many Red and White wine selection. Will be back to try their wine with perhaps a frutti di mare! read more

This was our first time here. I wasn't quite sure what to expect based on its location, but we were pleasantly surprised. My wife had a slice of pizza and I had the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo. Our server, Brooklyn, was fantastic. She was attentive without being overbearing. When we come back to Ft. Myers, we will definitely be back!! read more

Food is outstanding! I had the chicken piccata - I have had a lot of chicken piccata in my time... I leaned to my husband after a couple bites and said "This is the best chicken piccata I've had". My husband had the meat lovers pizza, that was excellent as well! Fair prices & an incredible night out! read more

Full menu with lunch size entrées. A good suggest selection of pastas and pizzas. Started the meal off with some garlic bread and dipping oils. The side of anchovies went extremely well with the Caesar salad. The wife had chicken piccata and I had the tortellini Alfredo. Both were perfectly sized for lunch, and allowed us to go about our day without a nap afterwards. Attentive service and reasonable prices. Would repeat. read more

Horrible food! Would never go back! Ordered chicken parmigana dinner. Chicken was like shoe leather!!awful! Large salad . 10.00 was like a small. Also bad.

Fourth time here and this place is awesome food is great .best Italian food in ft Myers and service in awesome

Nice little place with some good menu items- tried quite a bit and cant really complain about any of it. My only disappointment would be their breadsticks, just not really my thing- not really sure how to describe them, seem like they are prepackaged and warmed up,somewhat doughy. Service is good, food is good, location is a bit odd as its almost an abandoned strip mall-but the food thing is plenty of parking read more

The owners have done a really nice job of making the restaurant look cute & inviting from the outside, which is challenging b/c it's located in a run down, mostly abandoned strip mall in n ft myers that makes u question if nav took u to the right place. Lots of parking available. Inside is simple- nothing fancy, but that's pretty common in the area. Staff is super friendly & patient. This place seems to have a following in n ft myers, especially w/the older crowd. It's very affordable compared to other restaurants & felt serving sizes were appropriate. Mostly pizza & pasta. Offer gf pizza. Breadsticks r provided to each table. Wine/beer is available, again at reasonable prices. Cannoli r large & presentation is nice. Quality of food was ok, but it's nothing fancy. read more

The food is incredible. Feels just like a home cooked meal just for you. Free vibe is so cute inside, you can also sit outside too. Our server was working her butt off. Hats off to her she did amazing for a Friday night with just her! If this place was packed not in season I will definitely keep making reservations for in season! Thank you for making our bellies happy! Oh btw very affordable too! read more

My wife and I are NE snowbirds. This is are second winter here in North Ft Myers area. Heard and read this place was acceptable. We were looking to find decent pizza to resemble pizza from back home. We were disappointed. The restaurant seemed busy with take out and the in house tables were full on a Thursday night. Most customers were eating pasta not pizza so maybe that's what my Wife and I miscalculated. So I am still in search of good (no great pizza in SWFL) maybe it's not possible. My wife and I probably will not be back, as we search for good pizza and/or Italian food in Cape Coral area. Ambiance here is simple. Strip mall restaurant done simple. Please to ownership, check your tables for balance. Nothing worse than sitting at a table (2) that rocks back and forth and causes your drinks to spill. Good Luck going forward. read more

The food and service were amazing! I ordered the mushroom ravioli and LOVED it! My husband had the Deluxe Calzone and I loved it too!

This small family run restaurant is amazing! The ambiance is welcoming and the staff is so welcoming and friendly. 2 of my friends and I went. Everything is handmade and it definitely shows. The first thing they brought out was their soft breadsticks brushed either butter and oil with balsamic. Amazing, breadsticks tasted like they were fresh out of the oven, hot, buttery and soft. They were gone before I could take a picture. We ordered the garlic knots. I was expecting dough rolled up and twisted. Nope these were square biscuit looking, with just the right amount of butter, parm and seasoning. They came with homemade marinara that was tasty either way just a touch of sweet. 2 of us ordered the chicken and shrimp Alfredo with Penne and one ordered the chicken and broccoli Alfredo. The dishes checked all the boxes. The portions were large, the process right and we all had to get to go boxes. The staff brought us small containers with some extra Alfredo. You could definitely taste the pride and homemade touches in the food. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is Un believable. First it's in a strip mall so don't judge because inside it's relaxing, the food is made from scratch and the service is off the charts amazing ( ask for Clover, she is unbelievably good at her job). Homemade pasta. Pizza , meatballs, desserts , it's all delicious. We ate with wine and a dessert for 51.00. Run don't walk to this amazing eatery. read more

Food is excellent. Lots of delicious choices. It's a clean as a whistle local down to earth restaurant. The waitresses are very friendly and efficient. We go there frequently. Never a bad experience. Glad it's so close too! read more

First time at this restaurant for lunch. Waitress brought us fresh homemade bread and olive dipping sauce after we were seated, yeah, excellent. We ordered the meatball Parmesan sub and a margarita pizza. The Margarita pizza was very good and the crust held up exceptionally well as we took most of it home and had it later for dinner. The meatballs were very good, but they served it on their homemade bread which is kind of like Foccasia the bread is excellent but we did not think it was appropriate for the meatball sub, needed something a little more substantial. Can't wait until we can return for dinner. It should be noted that this is a family run business and everything is prepared from scratch, will gladly return. read more

Ordered a Bianca pizza...one regular, one with meatballs. AMAZINGGGGGG!!! We had it delivered and it was a phenomenal experience. Can't wait to actually come in to eat!!! The food was the best pizza I've found so far...and I've lived here 47 years!!! read more

Can you believe they brought this out and tried to charge me for it? This is supposed to be a margarita pizza with fresh tomatoes, and basil. It is burnt beyond recognition. I slapped it down on the counter and said go and take a bite of that, they refused......... now the business owner is replying since I posted a picture of their horrible food online. Please note that I sat there in excess of 15 minutes while my wife finished her dinner and then I received the bill and paid it after I took the food back into the waitress, the owner and the people that cook it and said this is not something that a person can eat. Now that I posted something online, they're concerned? read more

Fatto A Mano - This is supposed to be a margarita pizza - Italian Near Me - North Fort Myers, Florida

We had the calzone (medium), I would hate to see the large, there was no way I could finish the medium one, I took the rest home. What I like about this place is the fact that everything is definitely made by hand, so if you're in a hurry don't expect to get your meal fast. This is a place that takes their name seriously. The food is so good and the service is as well, but this is a place to go and truly relax and enjoy this hand made delicious food. It's quaint and makes you feel like you were invited over for a great meal by a true Italian family. Come and enjoy a great meal . read more

I don't like writing unflattering reviews, but I noticed they had a 4.0 rating and I felt compelled to speak up. We visited the spot on a whim and thought, while it might not be 5 stars from the outside, we would give it a try. We are open minded. We were greatly disappointed! We noticed ceiling tiles failing in above patrons heads and it was not uber clean. We did not enjoy the pizza either, which we stopped in to eat. We won't be back. read more

Small family operated Italian restaurant in a shopping center. Setting is 1 star, but ambience, food and service is 4 to 5 stars. Almost everything is made on site by hand. Best Italian Sausage over angel hair with homemade marinara sauce I have had in many years. Food is terrific and service fast and cordial. If the wine list were bigger and more varied, I would have given them 5 stars. Reservations are wise if you have a large party. read more

We've loved this place from its beginning for its delicious food, excellent service, and fair prices. This season, we tried several other Italian places. We had very good Nonna cooking at a few places and a wildly overwrought fancy downtown joint's repast. None could compare to our beloved Fatto A Mano. Mushroom appetizer is a must. Baked pasta dishes delight. Pizzas have feather-light crusts (even the GF ones). You can't go wrong with any choice. And your wallet will love you! read more

Angelia was awesome! Food and service was wonderful! Will definitely return and highly recommend!

We have eaten at Fatto A Mano many times both lunch and dinner. I have had my birthday celebrated there with close friends and the food was delicious. The service and attention to the guests was terrific. And Christmas Eve they catered for us. We celebrate the feast of the 7 fishes. The clams in white sauce with spaghetti was amazing. The mussels in red sauce were sweet and fresh. Baked ziti top notch. Scallops were scrumptious. Highly recommend read more

Outstanding... the very BEST. Italian food Ihave had in a long time. We enjoyed pizza pizza, calzone, eggplant Parmesan, with connoli ending the meal. Not only was our meal excellent but our server was equally outstanding, Angelina was excellent, keep the three of us happy during the whole time.We intend to go back again and hope with have Angelina serve us again. read more

Small North Ft Myers Italian restaurant. Have been hearing good things, so we decided to give it a try. Not much on ambiance, maybe 10 tables, and sort of a hybrid Italian restaurant / pizza place. But don't let the looks or location scare you away, it is a true Italian restaurant (all the basic dishes) and pizza. Sunday night at 7 (open til 8:00) was pretty full, one tell tail sign for the food to come was, that most of the customers were all from NY/NJ....(very talkative group in a small location). Bread was outstanding, fresh out of the oven with a great olive oil dipping sauce. Started off with a small pizza to really size up the place and it was really good with, great flavors (will be our takeout place going forward). I tried the Seafod combo and my wife the seafood lasagna. Both very good and at a great price, $18. Prices overall are reasonable. No room for deserts, but they looked good and I hear the cannoli, rock. Overall, a nice surprise. Service was very attentive and we will be back! read more

This place is truly a dive! That said, the food was very good and the service very friendly. There is literally nothing special about this place except the food and the service. The ambience is definitely "early strip mall". You are greeted by a very nice sign that reads "Pizza and Pasta". Prices are fair and there was a bunch of carry out orders handled while we were there, so I suspect the pizza is good (we didn't get pizza). The breadsticks look like hot dog buns, but are quite tasty. This place is definitely living the under promise, over deliver mantra! read more
