I generally frown on writing a poor review but in this case I believe it is warranted. Zero Stars !!! My friend picked me up from the airport ( RSW ) today and as a reward I invited him to select a restaurant where we could have an early dinner. My friend chose Rosati's in Estero because they have indoor seating and he likes their Pizza. My friend is disabled and has a handicap sign displayed on his van. My friend uses a Walker to assist in his mobility. My friend is a big guy , former High School football player, a lineman. He has had surgeries on both knees and can barely walk. For that reason he parked his van as close to the restaurant entrance door as possible. Unfortunately it was a No Parking zone. My friend could barely walk the short distance from his van to a dining table inside the restaurant. We ordered a Pizza , half cheese and sausage , half cheese , sausage & pepperoni. As our food was brought to our table by our server , Dakanti , the manager of Rosati shouted to my friend that he was parked illegally. My friend replied that he was handicapped and had difficulty walking and needed to park as close to the restaurant as possible. Nevertheless, the manager , Sean , yelled at my friend that he was selfish for parking in a No Parking zone. Three times the manager, Sean , called my friend selfish. I call my friend "disabled." The manager , Sean , called the Sheriff and Fire Department complaining about my handicapped friend parking in a No Parking zone. Sure enough, a Sheriff's Deputy arrived with emergency lights engaged and parked behind my friend's van, apparently ready to issue a ticket. I quickly addressed the Deputy and identified myself while explaining the situation. My friend followed me outside a few minutes later as he walks with assistance ( a Walker ) and it took him a few minutes longer to exit the restaurant. The Deputy quickly observed the handicapped condition of my friend as I persuaded my friend to allow me to move his van. I relocated the van to a legal parking space. The situation was resolved and the Lee County Deputy was satisfied. Both the Deputy ( I didn't get his name ) and the server Dakanti were extremely polite and understanding of the situation. The manager , Sean , of Rosati , lacked empathy and denigrated a customer ( my friend ) In front of other customers by yelling at my friend several times that he is selfish. That shameful behavior by the manager Sean was demeaning and uncalled for. His job is to manage the restaurant, not enforce parking codes on vehicles parked on the Public Domain. Now , the Pizza. We were both hungry and began to consume our Pizza immediately upon delivery to our table. My friend likes Rosati's Pizza because it is close to Chicago style Pizza, he says. As we are both lifelong Chicagoans we are acutely aware of what a Chicago Style Pizza should taste like. My first time impression of Rosati's Pizza is a Meh ! The Pizza was very greasy , salty and the topping slid off of the base every time I picked up a slice of Pizza. Uuffff The only kind remark I can generate is that the ambiance was pleasant and the server was very polite and efficient. The manager ? Meh ! Rude , condescending, lacking any empathy towards his handicapped customer. Indeed , the manager calling the authorities to report a parking violation on a paying customer while assigning himself the role of Parking Police does not bode well for Rosati's. My friend and I will never return to a Rosati's restaurant again. Jets it is !!! Sorry to bore Yelpers with such a long story. read more

Rosati's might be my new Florida comfort food. We ordered a 16-inch thin crust pizza for takeout, and the whole experience flowed smoother than melted mozzarella. The online ordering was incredibly easy. I barely had time to question my toppings before the confirmation email hit my inbox. The pizza itself was a thing of beauty. The crust was perfectly crisp without drifting into cracker territory. The cheese had that glorious stretch that makes you feel like you are in your own pizza commercial. The toppings stayed exactly where they were supposed to, which tells me this pizza has discipline and pride. It is the kind of pizza that tricks you into saying, "I will just have one more slice," and then you realize half the pie is gone and you are somehow still going. No shame. Only joy. Pickup was quick, the box smelled like happiness, and everything about the experience made me wonder why I ever spend calories on anything else. I would absolutely order again. read more

! Consistently the BEST!! If you like it a little less spicy, delete the "sprinkles". Leftovers in the freezer make a great night treat!owner is hands on. read more

Been to Rosetti several times I had both the thin crust and the deep dish and they were both very very good. Probably up there in the top five pizza places in the area with uncle Rico's Goomba's and Leonies's definitely try the deep dish Chicago pizza if you're not familiar with it, although the same crust was also very tasty. Great toppings and the crust was nice and crispy. read more

I don't understand the logic behind the way they make their thin crust pizza. The toppings are between the crust and the cheese. This separates everything from the crust. When you bite into a slice, everything slides off the crust in a big wad. Cheese should go first, then toppings. That's why they're called "toppings". read more

If you're craving a Chicago-style deep dish pizza in Estero, Rosati's is the place to go. We ordered a large deep dish with pepperoni and fresh garlic, and it was delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were generous. Plus, the fresh garlic was a nice touch. One thing to note: call ahead for carry-out. Deep dish pizzas take a bit longer to prepare, and when we arrived, we noticed they had a ton of carry-out orders. read more

I am from Chicago, where no pizza can ever compare, and I must say Rosatti's on Tamiami (41) in Estero is amazing!! We go there at least once a week and order an 18-inch sausage pizza, crispy. The BEST!!! The owner is friendly and his servers are energetic and attentive! A special shoutout to the pizza makers in the kitchen -- fantastic every time! Great place. Try it and see for yourself read more

Love the thin crust pizza. Our go to for carry out. The Deep Dish is also great. Have had good experiences with both eating in or carrying out. read more

The food here never disappoints. No matter what you want- Pizza, an Italian Beef or something else, this location always comes through with a delicious meal! My only disappointment is if you look a the suggested gratuity at the bottom on your bill, they are calculating it post-tax which goes against the universal standard that you don't in on government taxes and fees. This means even generous tippers are paying even more than they should, and it's deceptive. This has been a popular trend in the Naples area, and when called out some restaurant owners have apologized and quickly corrected the issue. We will see if Rosati's does the same. Aside from that, a great option for lunch or dinner! Just use the pre-tax amount to calculate a proper tip. read more

Excellent pizza. Really really good pizza but you pay for it. Will definitely be back

We like the gluten free crust here! We get the pizza "crispy" and it's pretty good! There's 2 size options for gluten free - smaller 10" or a larger 14". This is the larger size. read more

Pizza place advertises it's Chicago style. It is for sure. Thin crust was just like what we get in the Chicago area. Only complaint was that sausage wasn't quite done enough. Waiter and cook were helpful and attentive. We recommend this place! read more

Great food as always! Visiting from Orlando & got a few pizzas for the family. They loved it!

Almost a 5 star experience! First the food: We ordered a thin crust pizza and also a Chicago style pizza so we could sample both styles. The Chicago style was good but it's just not for me. I like my pizza standard but if you like this style I imagine it is superb. The thin crust pizza borders on being the best pizza I may have ever had. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. The sauce is tasty and toppings were fresh. The atmosphere is a fun pizza parlor style and has a few booths and tables setup for patrons. Plenty of room. The service is the only thing that dropped a star. It still wouldn't prevent me from returning because the pizza is delicious read more

I have ordered from Rosati's Pizza at 21301 south tamiamI trail, several times! There calzones are delicious, massive, have a lot of customizing options, at a GREAT price! The customer service is unmatched and the food always comes out in a timely manner! I've been to other locations in Naples and they charge more, provide terrible service with small portions, and limited options. Highly recommend this location! GREAT business! read more

We just found our Chicago thin crust pizza in Estero. Great joint. Love the pizza and the chicken parm sandwich. Great service. Busy.

Friendly, tasty, and timely..atmosphere is decent for eat in, beer is good and cold. Always greeted with smiles..

Very personable man at the counter. Pizza is pretty good, but very pricey. We paid $36 for an 18" with three toppings. Each topping is $3. Will look form coupons in the future. read more

I would love to give this place 3-1/2 Stars, because it was very good, but just a little short of 4 star worthy. First off, if you only have a 1 hour lunch, and it took you 10 minutes to get there, good luck. Deep Dish Chicago Style is not what you order. It took nearly 40 minutes to make. This is not the fault of the restaurant, but better planning is in order. Maybe call ahead. Another thing that kept it short of 4 stars was the fact that there was no "restaurant". It is currently under construction and will be another 6 weeks. So we had to sit outside on these metal chairs. Again not the restaurants fault. And eating with plasticware sucks. The pizza was very good. I look forward to returning when the restaurant is open and updating my review. See you soon. read more

I love this Rosati's! The staff is amazing and the food is incredible! There really isn't any comparison... best pizza in town!

Two pizzas bringing to first timers of Rosati's pizza. Ready exactly when they said they would be for pick-up. All enjoyed and were quite pleased. Loved the thin crust and we are enjoying the left-overs, today. read more

I moved to Ft Lauderdale 6 years ago & I miss Chicago-style food so much. I was in the Ft Myers/Estero area, for work, and came across this place and I AM SO HAPPY!!! Rosati's has been around for years & my family would eat at the Chicago location all the time. I truly feel like I'm back home in Chicago. My son & I ordered a lemonade, Sierra Mist, the cheesy garlic bread, mozzarella sticks, 1/2lb boneless mango habanero wings, 2 Chicago Combo sandwiches w/ fries & we ordered a small Deep Dish pizza w/ Italian sausage to go. I'm literally sitting at the table doing a "happy dance". My tummy is in Heaven!!!! The place is clean, they have a bar, the service was fantastic, the portions are big, the prices are great & the food is phenomenal. read more

Consistently great. Chicago style thin pizza. Great tasting sausage and sauce! Dine in or carry out, same great pizza. read more

I ordered a thin-crust sausage pizza last night through DoorDash, and it was great! I live outside Chicago and am here during the winter. I have been trying to find a thin-crust crispy pizza like I get back home for the last two winters and haven't had any luck until now. I am really happy to have a good place to order pizza from. I am very picky about pizzas, and the only thing I have found down here is New York pizza, which I am not a fan of because they are too doughy and soggy. Hopefully, the next pizza is just as good. read more

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, decent pizza , tried the deep dish, it was good, but i personally wasn't a fan of the sauce, but still good read more

What a sweet surprise! My hubby and I were in the mood for pizza tonight. After church let out we wanted somewhere close. Rosati's Pizza is nestled in the strip mall located within the Publix shopping center off Corkscrew Rd. One might think that this is just a little takeout pizza joint. They would be very wrong! The restaurant dine in area has a good number of tables and some booths. The dining area was added on a bit later offer the take out area. The Rosati Family has been keeping it real since 1964! This sweet family has been making Italian delicacies for the past five generations! They Rosatis value great quality and taste! Chicago style thin crust pizza is incredible! They have a full bar and their menu covered many yummy selections! In addition to incredible pizza they have pasta dinners salads soups etc. at lunch time they are open for lunch and serve pizza by the slice. Bradley our server was amazing! He single handling took care of all of us in the dining area. He informed us that all the ingredients were fresh nothing frozen. He was giving us truth!! You can taste the freshness on the toppings. My hubby and I got their classic combination pizza minus mushrooms. He made sure to annotate and inform the cooks of my severe mushroom allergy. We also ordered their garlic cheesy bread. It came with the most flavorful dipping sauce. We had some left over and we just had to take it home. My hubby also loved dipping his slices of pizza in it. The pizza was so very flavorful it was almost addicting. I really had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. We told Bradley that we enjoyed it so much that we'd have to try something else next time. But, if we got pizza again, I wouldn't be disappointed! Make sure to get their food! Available for take out too. Right now their summer hours are open Tuesday through Sunday until 9pm. They are closed on Mondays.l. Be patient they are short staffed but it is worth the wait! read more

Called in order 515. Said it would be 90 minutes. Went to pick up 6:15 was told order was lost! Ordered again was told another 30 minutes. Order included an antipasto salad with the order as well. Arrived home 730 with pizza and salad. Salad had two slices of Italian ham and two slices of pepperoni!! Really??? Do pizza was late salad was a joke. You would think we would have ts pieces at least a discount because of their screw ups. Nope!! Time to look for a new pizza place. So disappointed!!! Two stars Estero Fl read more

We ordered a sausage deep dish pizza. My husband loves pizza. I prefer the hipster pizza with weird flavors such as peanut butter and fried egg pizza. So traditional pizza is not my thing. This pizza was not greasy and very substantial. Definitely a solid pizza but for me, average. read more
