I was glad they were open and there was room enough for us to eat. Dave started with a Caesar Salad then ordered the Veal MichaelAngelo. Tender Veal, shrimp, scallops and clams in a tomato cream sauce with angle hair pasta. I tasted this magnificent dish snd it was extraordinary! I had the Chicken Marsala which was covered with mushrooms in a tasty wine sauce. The roasted potatoes were buttery delicious. There were two large pieces of delicately pounded sautéed chicken and I had enough to bring home a doggie bag. Mark was our helpful server and I asked him for a cappuccino. He brought me a lovely cappuccinos topped with homemade whipped cream and that really made my day! What a great way to end our day!

The staff were all great . We got the escargot to start and it was yummy but I prefer them to be served in the shell. Both my husband and I enjoyed our main courses. My husband's came with a small bowl of pasta with sauce on side which he said just tasted bland and did not care for. The dessert - tiramisu, was good. I am not usually one for biscotti but did actually like the one served with my espresso. I wish there was a full bar.

Unfortunately, our experience at Two Meatballs in the Kitchen was disappointing. The food was okay,…read morebut certainly nothing fantastic or memorable. The biggest issue was the poor service from our waitress, especially considering the restaurant wasn't even busy. She was inattentive, slow to check on us, and made us feel like our table was more of an inconvenience than a priority. After our initial drink order, I actually had to go to the waitress station myself to get plates and napkins. We received no water refills, and our table was left stacked with empty plates that were never cleared. After eating about half of our food, we decided to ask for a box so we could take the rest home and hopefully enjoy it there.

We have FINALLY found delicious Italian food in Cape Coral! I wish we found Trattoria Ciao sooner!…read moreThe ambience was absolutely beautiful. There was so much to look at from the textured ceilings, to the wood fire that cooked the pizzas, to the portraits in different frames. But the FOOD was DIVINE! Being from NJ and NYC, it's hard to find impressive Italian food in SWFL, but Trattoria Ciao really aced the test! All of the ingredients were simple and extremely high quality to make the freshest dishes possible. And the service was also amazing. Here's what we ordered: ~Woodfired Prosciutto and burrata- EVOO, fresh mozzarella, arugula, post-oven prosciutto, balsamic glaze, whole burrata. This was easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and let me remind you, I'm from up north. The ingredients were beyond fresh and the dough was a star. It had a slight smoky taste from the wood fire and it was perfectly cooked and chewy. And despite all of the toppings, it all stayed together. YOU MUST TRY THEIR PIZZA!! ~Pork Chop-bone-in and wood fire roasted with fingerling potatoes, asparagus, Calabrian chili butter. This was hands-down, the best pork chop we have ever had. Seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection, it was so thick and juicy and an absolute must-order. I can't recommend this dish enough. ~Short rib lasagna- fresh house-made pasta layered with braised beef short rib ragu and creamy bechamel sauce. This dish was so rich, but oh so delicious! The short rib was so tender and the bechamel so creamy. ~Chicken parmigiana-hand-breaded chicken breast; baked with marinara and fresh mozzarella over angel hair. Their marinara sauce is truly next-level! ~Cannolis with hints of orange zest and shaved chocolate ~Tiramisu Head over to here for exceptional Italian cuisine, pizza, service, and ambience. We can't wait to go back!

05 September 26 - Ariani…read more Friends gathered together to celebrate the 83rd birthday of the Birthday Girl. We had reservations and we arrived on time. Plenty of parking available in the private lot. Upon entry we were greeted and immediately seated at our table. Water and menus were quickly brought to our table. Bread & butter soon followed. Our waiter then disappeared for awhile. Although attentive , service was a little slow. It was a Saturday Night however. The interior of the restaurant had murals painted on the walls. Scenes of Italy accented by the maître d' who spoke with an Italian accent. Nice touch of authenticity. The tables had White table linen and the restaurant was divided into two parts with a wall filled with wine bottles dividing the place in two. Also there were side private party rooms to accommodate 8-10 people. Those can be reserved in advance. Our orders were taken and our food was delivered to our table some 20-25 minutes later. I ordered the Stuffed Shrimp Neptune. It was delicious. The food was good , we all agreed and the ambience was lovely , with a touch of elegance. Upon learning we had a birthday girl at our table our waiter and his fellow waiters gathered around our table to sing happy birthday to the birthday girl. She LOVED it. Her face lit up like a 12 year old , ahem , ok , she's 39 , again lol. We liked this place. It deserves a return visit. Good food , ambiance with free parking. Arrivederci , we will be back

Simply put, we have not stopped talking about our first and most recent visit, sharing with at least 15 others, and I plan to encourage many others as the opportunity presents themselves. I absolutely love how well we were treated and treated to meals that will satisfy even the most refined and indeed wealthy community members. Come experience what you have been missing.

Warning to diners: Double-check your credit card before you leave and your statement afterward…read more During my visit, the server swapped my card with another patron's. I was not only inconvenienced by having to coordinate the return of my card, but I later discovered the restaurant charged both my meal and the stranger's meal to my account. I have spent weeks trying to resolve this with management. Despite multiple calls and promises of a resolution, sending me a refund check that bounced, the manager continues to stall, making excuses and asking me for the other patron's contact information rather than fixing their mistake. Safe to say, they do not prioritize customer security or honest billing. Proceed with caution.
