We absolutely love the atmosphere at Miceli's! Great food, the best drinks ever and a wait staff that are amazing! We have never had bad service or food. The bands are always the best around. We also love how we can relax and watch the sun set while the boats float by in the canal. We live locally and go all the time. Every time we go we make sure to leave a huge tip. The staff works really hard and always have a big smile on their faces. Thank you Miceli's!! Fantastic Place!!!
I took my hubby here for a surprise bday dinner. We both ordered blackened grouper it was delicious! My kids are picky eaters, they have a great kids menu. My glass of wine was one I’d pour at home (full glass!). Great live entertainment and right on the water in a fun tiki atmosphere outside (but you can also dine inside in spacious restaurant). Kids liked to feed the fish while waiting for our dinners. I forgot my mosquito repellent at home (gotta love summer evenings down here), and our waitress gave some to us!! Will definitely come here again! Oh and the free birthday dinner and dessert was pretty cool!
I will gladly write another review for this great establishment. I tend to get hooked on ordering my favorites but I forced myself to try something I had not had here before. I got lobster mac n cheese!!!!!! Well, my eyes about popped out when it came. Generous amount. And, was it good?? Oh, it was way more than good......my husband tried it also. He usually doesn’t like his lobster hidden in dishes, but even he said, “wow, that’s good!” Real saucy and definitely cheesy! Absolutely delicious, and a bonus....someone was playing early on a Sunday. My husband got the grouper sandwich and onion rings....both, first rate!!!!!!
We dine here often. It’s always great..food, service, atmosphere.. I just wish the outdoor patio was smoke free. Maybe only smoking allowed under the Yuengling tables, IDK. Something. Bleh- sitting by smokers while eating is kinda nasty. But, we know when we sit out there it’s possible you might sit by smokers. We still love it�
I had the Shrimp Scampi it was very good! It was spot on! Can’t say enough about this place to eat!
First time thier won't be our last. Parking lot full when we got there seated immediately, drinks within minutes, food ordered and eating within 30-40 minutes, food and service fantastic. And a great view
Music was good.no wait for food,fastest service I've ever had..food was very good,waitress great.truly a very good experience
Great food! Amazing music by Stringtown and our server, David, was fantastic! Will definitely be back!
Die Veggie Pizza ist super ��- zu bestellen in S, M, LG, SIC - ich hatte M - in Deutschland ist die Größe M allerdings eine große Pizza - leider musste ich dann das Dessert streichen
Miceli's Restaurant is an Italian and American centric spot offering a basic traditional blend of foods plus regular live music on the back patio that faces the Buzzard Bay inlet to the Gulf Of Mexico. They are located on the main road to Pine Island to the West on the edge of Cape Coral next to the small town of Matlacha. Matlacha is one of five small communities near Cape Coral and is located on a small island in Matlacha Pass, east of the larger Pine Island. It is an "Old Florida" fishing village, home to many colorful art galleries, island boutiques, restaurants, and traditional Floridian cottages that have murals matching the “hippy” vibe of the village itself.
Jam Packed every night!. We drove past Miceli's many times before we tried it and the parking lot was jammed every time! We looked at the reviews, and decided to try it for ourselves to see what the attraction is. Now we understand. There is a giant outdoor patio overlooking the water (busy canal) with high quality live music. We got there at 5:00, and barely got a seat on the huge patio. I could have stayed all night listening to the talented duo playing classic rock songs and others. The Bada Bing salad with special sauce was great. I ordered the shrimp version, and got at least two dozen decent sized shrimp. The crab cake sandwich was just ok (no idea why the spouse ordered such a thing). The server was attentive, but rushed, with no time for small talk. I will definitely go back again if I return to this area.
Gluten free options, delicious food, fantastic service. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our first there.. Miceli's was where we just happened to end up for lunch. We had a house guest with us; he ordered the Antipasta Salad, said it was very good. My husband and I saw on the menu, the Prime Rib .. but it also said "as available." Which is wasn't so we ordered a Grouper Basket that we shared. Great service. Our waiter kept coming by to see how we were doing; ready to refill our drinks. Another waiter walked by, maybe he was the manager, but he also made sure we were ok. Every waiter and waitress in there were "running" to take orders, deliver food and bus tables. We thought it was great especially when we knew nothing about it before today. 3/21/14
Hard to understand negative reviews. Been eating here since they were on FMBeach. This location always has good food and on our recent visit service was best it could be on a very busy Friday lunchtime. Whining sounds like normal snowbird grousing about not getting instant gratification.
Always a treat!. We gathered for another birthday celebration last night at Miceli's and had a great evening! as always, the food was delicious and the service was tops! consistently the BEST place to eat in the area!!
My husband & I eat out frequently & one of our all time favorites is Miceli's! It is often our 1st choice & I sometimes take home Michael Micelis' mouthwatering Tiramisu to have the next morning for breakfast (although it doesn't always last until morning in my fridge!). We go there with everyone from our parents to our grandchildren, our friends & neighbors & always take our out of town visitors at least once while in town. Sometimes we just go to enjoy the company of the Miceli's crew, especially the Miceli's guys Michael, Joseph & Vincente. The welcoming atmosphere makes Miceli's our go-to place for anything from a delicious lunch or dinner to a night of live music & dancing. They are also extremely generous to all of the numerous charities by hosting several very successful fundraisers each year. Hats off to Miceli's owners & staff for making us feel like family!
Catering by Miceli's. I live in Atlanta but my parents live in FL and frequent Miceli's. When I was deciding on a caterer for a recent birthday party for my mom, I recalled how much she likes Miceli's and I enlisted their help for a fairly large catering order. From the first phone call to the actual delivery (of the DELICIOUS food), Mike and Vinny were professional, friendly, and super accommodating. These guys went above and beyond and I can't thank them enough! My family and I will absolutely call on Miceli's again for future catering needs.
Best Restaurant in Lee County!. My husband and I eat out alot -- sometimes five or six nights a week. We have eaten just about every place in Lee County and Miceli's is without a doubt our absolute favorite. Their Thursday night Prime Rib special is awesome! Best prime rib I have had anywhere in the State of Florida. Always tender, delicious and cooked to perfection. For $19.95 we get two 8-ounce prime ribs, cooked to order, two baked potatoes, two large salads and a whole loaf of fresh baked bread. We have never been disappointed. Their Eggplant Siciliano is also one of my favorite dishes. They have a great Monday night pizza special too. We can eat here seven nights a week and never get tired of it because of the incredible variety! The service is always perfect. The staff is friendly and polite, and always right there to take care of drink refills, etc. The owners are right on top of everything and never hesitate to jump in and help bus a table or take an order if the waiters and waitresses are swamped. In the four years that we have been dining at Miceli's, we have never had bad food OR bad service. The entertainment is great too. It is different every night of the week. On Monday nights, they have a couple that plays a lot of 50s and 60s music and it's always fun to dance to. And there is a nice young man playing out in the Tiki Hut on Thursday nights. On weekends there is usually a younger crowd so we dine inside. And in spite of what someone else wrote, the creme brulee is ALWAYS perfect!!! But the chocolate cake is to die for . . . We have family parties and get-togethers at Miceli's. When we want a quiet evening alone, we head to Miceli's. If we want to meet friends for a fun evening out, we always suggest Miceli's because EVERYONE loves it!! Miceli's is the place to meet, dance, eat, relax, have a drink, share some fun and watch the manatees!
Plus and Minuses. This place seems to get a lot of tourists and quite frankly, I was one of them. I agree with redcaddie's comments about the charging of items. You have to be careful about that. I noticed that the menu, in fine print, stated that there was a $4.99 sharing charge. I understand restaurants want to discourage sharing but $4.99 is too much. We weren't planning on sharing but it indicated to me that they were the type that would charge for everything, even something like bread (isn't complimentary bread fairly standard for an Italian restaurant?). It's too bad too because the food was pretty good. Not alot for vegans but several vegetarian choices. I had the Francesca's Salad - it was absolutely delicious. It may seem strange to rave about how good a salad is but this is definitely rave worthy. Mixed greens with sundried tomatoes, artichokes, two types of olives (black and green), mozzarella (which can be left off to make it vegan) and balsamic vinegar dressing. My friend had the Grilled Grouper and she was pleased with her dish too (though I think I liked my salad more!) The garlic bread was also very good (it came with the grouper entree).
Great stop. We came in on boat and was pleasantly surprised. Great menu selection pizza, sandwiches, full dinner, aps, seafood, prime rib & Gluten free, happy hour and daily specials. Nice views and service was good too. Steve waited on us, we liked him - friendly, quick and knew his stuff. Special of the day was 2 prime rib 30$ we all had it and We will be back.
Dad wanted to go to Miceli’s for his 80th birthday to celebrate with the family. We wanted to make it special for him and Jamie, our server, did just that! She was so much fun and we had lots of laughs and she really made our experience enjoyable! The food was great but our service was fantastic and if you spend any time in restaurants you know that this is hard to find in today’s world. Thank you, Jamie! We truly appreciated you!
Absolutely love this place!! The view is beautiful and there is entertainment everyday. The staff is great and always there to make you happy. I had the Vinny Stromboli and my husband had the chicken parm grinder…. All I can is OMG!! It was amazing!!
Great food. Live music. The band was good. Great atmosphere. A gluten free menu with good options.
We went to Miceli's with friends that came in town. The food was amazing!! The service, outstanding. The view was beautiful. Glad we chose to go there.
We've wanted to try this restaurant for a while, and we were not disappointed! We decided to sit inside because there was a table available immediately. Just a 20 minute wait for outside, which seams reasonable. The food was fabulous, and service was good despite being obviously short staffed. The servers were hustling! We shared the stuffed mushroom appetizer and everyone had Cesar salads. Two of us had the shrimp and scallop scampi and another the Pasta Ala Miceli. All the food was delicious! Highly recommended!
As always the service was excellent. I ordered the combo basket of fried shrimp and grouper bites. It came with Cole slaw, French fries and a generous helping of seafood. All was very good. The shrimp was lol large and coke perfect. The grouper was equally very tasty. My wife ordered the French dip plate and enjoyed it as well. We shared stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. There are plenty to share and also very tasty. You have the option to dinner inside or outside by the water with live band performance. Food, service, and atmosphere are all worth there visit. Prices are very reasonable.
