Citrola's Italian Grill & Pizzeria, College Pkwy, Ft.Myers,FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Ahhh this is an ole fashion type of Italian eatery.
I got in house made bread with butter, free,as a precursor to my meal of lasagna.
This use to be the standard of ALL restaurant in days gone past.
I have had lasagna in three different places. All within the last 2 weeks.
And basically they really all tasted the same. (just like re fried beans in Mexican eateries).
The difference is the type of meat and noodle inside. So lasagna is like a pizza a personal choice.
I like this one the best. Well, balance enough garlic lots of flavor.
I also spurge and got a pepperoni/mushroom pie. It was a thin crust very good. BUT I thought they were very cheap in adding the mushroom. Not very many.
Service, by Margot was excellent. Staff in general were great.
Note: parking can be tight. The lot is small.
But worth the trip.
Wife and I were very pleased. Ordered chicken Marsala and veal parm with the signature zeppi desert thingy. The desert was amazing. The Marsala was excellent. The parm was saucier than I usually like but still good. Would go back for sure.
Comfort food!. Nice place to go. Food was really good. Very laid back atmospher. Decor was very interesting and added to the experience. Loved the lights. If you are looking for a neighbourhood Italian bistro this it. Staff is very friendly and had good recommendations for dinner. Can't wait to go back with our kids and family when when we are in town.
Good food, Service eh. Love the pizza, not crazy about the service. I have caught some attitude both times I have been in there. They seem to be impatient with customers. I was simply ordering a pizza to go, they gave me a price on the phone that was 3.00 less than what they charged me when I got there. When I asked them about it a gentlemen claimed to have given me the wrong price and said he made a mistake. I had no problem paying for the pizza. But then the lady next to him said oh you didn't make a mistake, the customer was confused. Strange how small startup resturaunts give no mind to customer service. Still the food rocks. Guess there is a little give and take in the world.
Just had the most Delicious Antipasto Salad. Service was Fab
Delicious, fresh veal Parmigiana. I wouldn't recommend the salad at an extra cost (very plain salad) but the penne and fresh bread is excellent.
Italian done well. I have been to this resturaunt several times. The food is very consistent and prepared well. I have had the spaghetti and the eggplant parmesan, but I really go for the pizza. The lunch special is great. Two slices and a salad are more than I need but I get it anyways. The slices are large but not obnoxious. A great tasting dough makes up the crispy thin crust true to a New York slice. Quality, balanced sauce and mozzarella top that crust and can be finished of with a selection of extras for .25 each. The house salad is fresh and I recommend the balsamic dressing. The dining area is small, but a great atmosphere and pretty cool decor. The wait staff has always been friendly and accommodating. Great pizza pick up spot or dine in for Italian.
Incredible Italian food! We dined in one evening and it was one of the best dinners we've had in awhile. I ordered the Penne Alla Vodka with blackened chicken while my girlfriend ordered Lobster Ravioli. Both dishes were 5/5 stars. We'll definitely return. A few days later we had a pepperoni pizza and mozzarella sticks delivered, which were good, but not nearly as delicious as the pasta dishes we ordered in house. I think customers expect an Italian place to offer pizza delivery. This isn't a "take out" place.
Absolutely delicious!! Excellent service by Jeff who never missed a beat and ran his tail off. We had appetizers and all 5 of us a different dinner choice, amazingly everyone enjoyed their meals thoroughly. Going out with my parents isn't easy because they ways find something to complain about but not tonight. They loved everything!!! Thank you! We'll be back!!
Great pizza! Service was excellent and the ambiance was quiet and had a private feel to it. GREAT pizza!!!! Everything had superb flavor and we would visit again!
Tables are cool, made from wine corks and barrels!
