A true taste of Italy all the way down to the staff! I'm more of a breakfast person but I literally can come here at 1030/11am for fresh homemade lasagna! Everything is purely made from scratch and the desserts are to die for! Regardless, you will not be disappointed! This is the best and most authentic place around! ❤️
Just had a really wonderful breakfast there. Outstanding! Everything tasted so fresh. The bakery items are by far the best I've had since moving here in, 1999 from Chicago. Beautiful restaurant and very caring people. Everything we had was above delicious! I highly recommend you go and taste what real Italian food tastes like.
Absolutely phenomenal! The food is amazing and the staff is astounding! Felt like having dinner at someone's Italian grandparents home. Highly recommend and will be returning soon!
The best eggplant ever! Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food, service, and atmosphere is incredible. Our favorite restaurant in SWFL!
We just had dinner here tonight. Lane and I shared the Shrimp Ginger Macaroon as an appetizer. Lane had the veal osso bocco and I had the veal milanese. ☺ Well worth the price. Our new go to place.

Omg! Everything was amazing! I'm gluten intolerant and they catered to me and my dog! Couldn't ask for a better meal or service!
This is by far the best Italian restaurant anywhere in Southwest Florida! The food is amazing and completely prepared fresh from scratch. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere. Once you had ever had a meal here you will not want to go anywhere else.
Came in for a last minute dinner reservation and we are so happy we did! The owner and his family are so warm, kind and inviting. We felt like we were back traveling thorough Italy. Our daughter especially had an amazing time.
The food was excellent, the service was superb and the ambiance was reminiscent of Europe. Truly an enjoyable and memorable dining experience.
Perhaps the best Italian food I've had stateside.
5 stars. We will be back!
Stopped here in a Friday night with friends on a whim. We were seated immediately even tho we didn't have reservations. What a wonderful experience! Food was outstanding, and the service excellent. The staff is so warm & friendly, you feel like you're in Nonna's kichen! My new favorite place!
Just had dinner there. Food was amazing. The couple that own the place were very friendly (as was the entire staff) and committed to making sure everything was perfect. Mission Accomplished.
Extremely happy we decided to try Colleoni’s! Meal was fabulous! Pasta was perfect and dessert was heaven!

I enjoyed the salad, it was very good ....but I had the most delicious Lasagna ever at this restaurant today!!!! Fresh homemade noodles make this meal. You have to check out this authentic Italian Restaurant out! Got to meet the owner/Chef who is from Rome and Milan, Italy!
Can't recommend this place enough. We love it here.
Food was awesome, our first time there and we will be back and recommend to others.
GreT service as well.
Buonissini panini and cappuccino there and a great chat with the "Sisters" Barbara & Emanuela. Felt like I was back in Italy ! It is totally authentic - the food and style of the cafe . Will return
So far I've had some bakery items, a cappuccino and a panini on fresh baked foccacia, all to go. Absolutely delicious!!! It is so adorable inside!! I can't wait to go back and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner!! I will continue to spread the good word!

We enjoyed a great dinner here last night. Clay had chicken cacciatore and I had pasta carbonara. We had rhum cake for dessert that melts in your mouth. They are only open for dinner Friday and Saturday nights. Each week features food from a different part of Italy. We will be back to try the bakery goodies.
Excellent lasagne, delightful desserts and beyond courteous service. An extensive wine list with many Italian offerings.
Ok. So this is one of those interesting reviews - punchline - the food here is incredible. We went here on a date night and the clientele is as expected in this area meaning age range but I don’t mean anything negative. It’s just what is here. But the server was so sweet and the food was perfect. I mean, very very good Italian food.
Just know the vibe is not cozy or intimate or trendy. It’s a refurb’d old Wendy’s building or something but the food and service makes up for the lack of atmosphere. We will be back.
Absolutely amazing food and service. Megan was knowledgeable and gracious, superb server. Then the food was better than you can imagine. We had the seafood pesto fettuccine and it did not disappoint. Very creamy with the pesto background and the best scallops. Then for a finish we had the tiramisu. Heaven with a strawberry garnish.
The seafood pasta was splendid! Definitely my favorite. The bread came with a honey truffle butter that was delicious, the bread was pretty par. Enjoyed the mushroom risotto as well.
Good Italian restaurant. Great service and little wait. Chicken masala was deconstructed; sauce on bottom, then rigatoni and then chicken without cooking in marsala cream sauce which we wished there was more of. The Rigatoni with meatball and pomodoro sauce was very saucy with chunks of tomato they way I like it. In both the pasta was under al dente for our taste and needed another minute. Most people would rate this a five but we leave 5 stars for perfection. We would go back and try the Osso buco which the table next had ordered three of so it must be really good.
We had a fantastic dinner last night, The food the service and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night or group of friends. I highly recommend the Ossobuco, the lasagna, the duck. Our group ordered one of each desert and they all were delicious. Reservations are highly recommended.
Love this place. Very family like atmosphere. Our waitress was the sweetest and was very knowledgeable about the wine. Food was incredible. We took home a pizza for the kids and they said it was amazing!!!
Very good food. The waite staff were very attentive, informed, and engaging. The space has been completely renovated, open and airy yet intimate to the table. New owners were very welcoming. Not the most child friendly however still great for a family dinner. Offers inside and outside dining.
The food was great! Small restaurant so the service was of course excellent. The fresh mussels (not pictured) were really good I highly recommend that as a starter. I had the bucatini carbonara was really fresh and filling. The waiter told me it would look dry but it didn't and it was good. The eggs did start kind of scramble so be sure to stir it up every few minutes. The wine was good... better deal to get it by the bottle instead of the glass.
Tiramisu was not made in house but by another business that specialize in Italian desserts
Great service, really good food, clean and modern look. It is worth a try. One of the best independent restaurants in fort Myers. Similar to what you find in Naples. Wish we had more restaurants like this one.

What an incredible find. Who would have thought we would get such amazing food in a place that is located in a converted fast food restaurant. The service was also amazing. Starting with the bread and ending with dessert, this place didn't disappoint.
