This is one of my favorite restaurants in Fort Myers! Mama's Meatballs are an absolute "Must Have!" Great eggplant parm and generous portions. They bring garlic knots to every table. Cathy was our server and was very attentive and efficient. She made our dinner experience very nice, especially since we had brought our visitors from Iowa with us! It can be quite noisy and loud when busy, but the food is worth it. I read more

I visited Two Meatballs in the Kitchen for lunch earlier this week with co-workers. I was not expecting to dine here again after my first disappointing experience years ago. Even though the meal was better this time around, it was still underwhelming. I had the Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken was thick and covered in melted mozzarella cheese but the tomato sauce lacked flavor and was overly sweet and the chicken was a bit on the chewy side. read more

We met two other couples here for an early Friday dinner. Two had been here a long time ago, two had never been and we have come numerous times. Our server, Kayla, was attentive and friendly. Our food came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. As always, the portions are large and all but one of us had a to-go box for leftovers. The rolls and olive oil are almost always great, but tonight they tasted like they were a day or so old. While they were still good, they weren't hot, soft and moist as usual. There were no complaints about the food, everyone seemed satisfied with their choice. I always get Tortellini Maria (great), others got chicken parm, fettuccine bolognese, mushroom ravioli, spaghetti and salmon. They have a musician playing familiar songs on his guitar. That's a nice touch. For a hearty meal that is tasty and a comfortable ambiance, Two Meatballs is a good choice. read more

The food and service here is consistently on point so last night was definitely out of the ordinary. I am going to chalk it up to several large parties even though the restaurant was not at capacity. My drink showed up half way through dinner. No complementary garlic knots were offered. The food was good but lukewarm but no one asked so they would have no idea. The appetizer was amazing and they have great. entertainment on the weekends. First not so great experience out of many. Every place has an off night, guess this was theirs. read more

Great happy hour prices and selections at the bar till 6:00PM. Large bar but will fill up by 5-6PM. Get there early. Comfortable area with a very friendly crowd. This evening I enjoyed a $7.00 dirty martini with the chicken marsala where I substituted pasta for the potatoes and vegetables. Added a side Caesar salad for $4.99. Service was great considering the crowd even out of season. The food was all fantastic as expected. Well worth a try. read more

We were in town visiting and decided on this place for dinner after reading the reviews. The restaurant is causal and comfortable. It has booths and tables and a nice bar. There were lots of fun signs around as decor. We were seated quickly and greeted by a friendly server. I asked her about the specialties on the menu and she was happy to share her suggestions. She brought us a starter of garlic rolls in a bowl of flavored olive oil. They were tasty but the oil was a bit much. It would have been better to have just a smaller amount of oil. We started the meal with 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and a sampler that included mozzarella squares, a stuffed shell, and a meatball. The squares were just their version of mozzarella sticks. They were flavorful and not over fried. The meatball was huge and tasted good but wasn't a strong flavor of anything. The stuffed shell was tasty. For our entrees we had the chicken francese and a make your own pizza. The chicken had a very strong lemon taste and was tasty. The pizza was a bit on the well done side. The cheese tasted a bit chewy and wasn't my favorite. The sausage was well seasoned and I did enjoy that. Overall our experience was nice. The server was pleasant and attentive. We didn't have to ask for refills. read more

I really enjoy coming here today. My hubby and I decided last minute we want to have a nice Italian meal and everything was pretty good. It's just the fact that the meatballs were pretty dry. Normally it's a nice moist meatball even though they're gigantic unfortunately the picture doesn't show it as well because my husband and I shared one Mail because of him they're just so big and we just decided to share it and each got half and it was so good exception of the meatballs. That's the only reason why I gave it four stars our server Brianna was fabulous sweet prompt Excellent atmosphere excellent spaghetti salad rolls. Excellent. They just need to improve on the meatballs. I don't know if it was just an off day but that's all they need to do other than that. This is still a really good place to go to eat. read more

The meatballs are the house specialty--super tasty and definitely worth ordering. I had Luigi's Favorite Pasta and it was incredible: rich, cheesy, and definitely a dish to share, as the portion is quite large. The pizza was also delicious--crispy and full of flavor. The lasagna was warm, comforting, and well made. Our server, Kayla, was great--very attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. The restaurant has a casual and spacious atmosphere, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. A solid spot for classic comfort food. read more

The working team was in the mood for some Italian grub and Two Meatballs was the pick. When we got there, they informed us that they were having credit card issues and we had to pay cash. That was a quick check for cash we put together enough so in we go. We came in early so we got settled in quickly. The warm bread with the Italian seasonings is so yummy! You got to be careful you'll get full quick on that yummy bread. The service was very responsive. I had to have the Stromboli as it is one of my faves for Italian foods and I was so pleased that I did as it was so good it was cooked just right. The bottom had brown up nice so it was not soggy and was loaded with meat, cheese and plenty of sauce. Our service was so good at keeping our drinks toped off on a hot summer day. read more

Enjoyed dinner here (Ft Myers). They have 2 locations. This was our first time here. We went a little early (4:45pm) because we had a show to get to. It was about 50% full. The place is a lot bigger than I expected. There are 2 dining areas. We started with an appetizer special - Stuffed Zucchini Blossom. For my meal, I enjoyed the "House Favorite". I requested one meatball and one sausage with my Rigatoni. Excellent! My wife had the Alaina's Baked Pasta. The portions were huge. (I ate what my wife took home the next day -excellent). Recommend the place. Definitely will return. read more

Arriving from a cross country flight, we were looking for a decent meal to satisfy our "Biscoff cookie and beverage" hunger. Although the service was initially good, never once did our waitress ask how the food was. Perhaps it was obvious. A 16" veggie pizza - one slice eaten. A 12" meat pizza - one slice eaten. No, "How is your pie?" Let me tell you, the crust? Good! Best part of the pizza! The pizza itself. Meh. A 3 on a 1-10 scale. Worse than a slice at your local middle school. No flavor. How does that happen? Perhaps the older crowd dining prefers bland food, but the rest of us want FLAVOR! The second pie was also untouched. Same reason. I think the waitress knew. Why else would she avoid asking? I didn't eat the meatball. I cannot report on it, nor the linguine and clams except to say there were plenty of clams. read more

Two Meatballs in the Kitchen - Shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta - Italian Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Loved the ambience, cleanliness, the look! It was busy ; many couples & adult families; few children. People dressed nicely. We had reservations that day / Sunday. Our waitress took our table of 6 orders. We were never given waters. Waitress failed to place one of our parties order& brought out our food- except for one; slowly deduced that we were all waiting to eat until all were served- waitress then put that simple order in & brought out 20 min later when our food was cold. Difficult to ascertain food quality when no longer hot- but I'm sure it's really good. It's a popular place! read more

The food and the service were amazing! We got seated next to someone playing the piano. Was a quiet relaxing dinner. The waitress was very attentive. The portions were gigantic and delicious. Neither one of us could finish our meals. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

For the prices the decor would have been a bit nicer. Not to nit pick but the glasses were even plastic huge cocoa cola cups resembling like you'd get at a quick pizza shop. For nearly $30/plate, you should have glassware, just my opinion. Nice that they gave garlic bread on the house, we thought it had an odd taste and smothered in oil. I ordered the grilled salmon. It had "grill" marks but it did not taste grilled at all and came with very bland vegetables. My husband ordered shrimp scampi, the shrimp were very small and he wasn't wowed by it. Not to be TMI but I had to use the bathroom almost immediately after eating my stomach was mess from this meal. (We were visiting from NY, so maybe our expectation for Italian food is a bit higher) The reviews rave about the red sauce, maybe stick to traditional red sauce, meatballs. Our waitress was very nice and attentive! Overall nice staff. read more

Came out to Two Meatballs in the Kitchen during Saturday prime time to celebrate a birthday! The restaurant had recently been renovated but I was not familiar with what it looked like prior. The interior overall was clean, had pretty aesthetics, and a fun waiting area. With the updates, the entire interior has hard surfaces which absorbs no noise. It definitely was a bit loud and at points, was hard to hear/have conversations. The restaurant does not take reservations but they do offer a yelp waitlist to join. We did not check in ahead and it was only a 25 minute wait; not bad! Once we were seated, one could tell the staff was hustling to keep up. The restaurant had food and drink specials outside of the normal menu. We started with a house white wine and strawberry basil martini. The martini had more basil flavor than I was expecting, but overall good. Dinner service comes with complimentary parmesan bread knots that were delicious! Perfect way to have something before entrees. I got the House Favorite with sausage, rigatoni, and subbed the sauce for vodka sauce; my aunt got the lasagna. I loved my pasta and it was the perfect size for leftovers! I've never been anywhere that offers (2) meatballs or sausages with an entree! Great value! Our server ended our night with some complimentary cannolis for the special celebration. I highly recommend trying out TMITK! read more

First time at "Two Meatballs" as we were attending a show at Music and Arts Center nearby. We loved the complimentary garlic bread knots. I had the eggplant with pasta and it was delicious. My husband had the grouper and pasta. He loved it. The portions were huge so we both had leftovers for another meal. We would definitely return and try something different next time. read more

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would complain about this place at all. We've been here 3 times and the food has always been excellent. The pizza is great and very reasonably priced. My wife got the chicken frachaise and it was the best she'd ever had. We love the atmosphere and the staff is always fun and welcoming. read more

We are Italians from NYC and rarely go for Italian food- it never measures up, and hubby's cooking is the best and usually a let-down. However, we went for happy hour- we were drawn in by the escargot and coconut shrimp. Drinks are very good and inexpensive. Beside the escargot and coconut shrimp, hubby ordered the eggplant stack and the meatballs. We got a large portion of escargot and they were amazing- especially paired with the complimentary garlic knots. The coconut shrimp was tender and delicious. My husband enjoyed the eggplant stack - moreso when it was hot from the kitchen. The meatballs- which are our biggest peeve usually, were HUGE, sooooooo tender and moist, just delicious. We absolutely will make the trip down when we are in Venice again- it's well worth it. Highly recommend read more

Come for the meatballs, stay for the roaches My family ate here recently and unfortunately the food wasn't the worst thing on the menu -- the roaches were. There were roaches crawling on the wall and in the plants. My dad, trying to be respectful and not make a scene in front of my 3-year-old, went back inside to quietly let the staff know. He wasn't looking for free food or a discount -- just basic accountability. The waitress was kind, apologetic, and handled it professionally. Then the JERKOFF owner came out... and completely blew it. His response? "Every restaurant has roaches. Deal with it." That's not just false -- it's disgusting. If that's the attitude from the top, it tells you everything you need to know about how this place is run. Plenty of great restaurants in the area that don't come with pests and arrogance. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. Glad I was outside when he said this bc I would have embarrassed this JERKOFF! read more

We were seated quickly. Our friends arrived soon after and our server, Jennifer, came over and took our drink orders and talked about the menu. She was very informative and pleasant. Our food was delicious, my husband ordered the spaghetti and the meatballs that were Hugh and delicious. I shared a pizza with my friend. It was great. The extra cheese we asked for was wonderful. Thank you Jennifer for making our evening fun and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

First time in the area and happened to find this place online. The (complimentary) garlic knots they bring out at the start of the meal are sooooo good. Nice and soft and COVERED in buttery garlicky deliciousness. The pasta dishes all sounded yummy, but I definitely recommend the Mama's Pasta. Huge portion and so much flavor! We had a great waitress and enjoyed the live music playing during our dinner. Definitely make a stop if you're in the area! read more

It's interesting that we've eaten there several times for dinner and had great meals and really enjoyed it, but traveled all the way up from Naples for lunch and had a totally different experience. I don't know if this is year-round or just in the summer months, but it's a different Menu for lunch vs dinner and the options and quality of the food is lacking. I am gluten intolerant and found little or no options for me on my lunch menu. read more

My family took me there for my birthday on Sunday. They let the restaurant know it was my birthday yet They didn't even say happy birthday so that was a little bit disappointing. What was more disappointing is that the service was so so. My food came out cold. It didn't have a lot of flavor. My daughter did not like her food also. I had the chicken Parmesan. She had the chicken marsala. My other daughter seemed to enjoy her meal, but her boyfriend only had the Caesar salad and he seemed to like it. My grandson didn't care for his spaghetti very much but we did bring it home just in case. I know when we ate there years ago it was pretty good, but I was very disappointed. Next time I want chicken Parmesan, I'm gonna go to Trattoria Mia. read more
