Nino's Pizzeria - Fort Myers

Last night for the first time. With family and friends from the city (and Long Island, NY) regular in the restaurant, Lou Dolores. We had 6:00 reservations. I went about 5:45 and the place was PACKED! And people wait near the entrance, inside and outside. We were shown to the only empty table for us. Before I go into everything if you decide "to dinate or not here, and just check the reviews....read not further! The BEST VEAL I've ever had. I am a great time foodie and I am also from New York and now live here in Naples already in the year. We didn't want the meal to end. Sooo good. Very generous portions. Besides the best veal, of course, all her sauces are. Just as good. All Entrees served a pasta or veggies. Started with the Garlic Knots that were served in a basket. They were hot and perfect. Soup or salad with the ducks, I chose the loaded cup Pasta Fagioli. And then the ducks.... Fried Cheese Ravioli: appetizer! Cheese ravioli baked and fried, served with one side of marinara for diving. Cappelini Toscano: VG! Angel hair pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and prosciutto ham.... Too much sauce, but it was delicious. At dinner I forgot the extra sauce. Veal Florentina: WOW! Medals of calfsal dipped in egg battery, with spinach, melted mozzarella cheese and a light white wine and marinara sauce.... the calves on all dishes were phenomenal, but this mixture of sauce was the best! My dear court! Ate it ALL. Veal Francese: VG! Slightly broken calfsal, in a light butter, mild lemon and white wine sauce....The picture says all Veal Sorrentina: VG! Veal with Prosciutto ham, aubergines and melted mozzarella in a white wine and marinara sauce... she loved it! It was half home. Cavatelli with meatballs: Great standard tortellini in sauce: Great standard savory cheese filled tortellini, filled with meat sauce As you can see we enjoyed and I can tell you; I'm only 22 miles/38 minutes away. I'm back and bring friends to see them the best calf. BTW, saw many pizza cakes that looked great. Next time you have to try one of them. Buon Appetito!

I have never found a place that serves authentic Italian since my trip to Italy in 2002. Italian is usually blanding when you eat so that I never go for it. Decided to taste Nino's and the whole family is glad we did. Hands down absolutely best Italian food we ever had! Portions are huge! Garlic became razor thin, fresh basil in the plate was brilliant, sausage was juicy, and every dish was great! We couldn't survive how great it was. Will go back soon to taste the pizza and can not wait!

This place is truly authentic Italian! Great pizza, wine! This jewel shines in a world of corporate retreats! Mangia!

One word. I'm in love. Everything was delicious, with garlic on the top. The aromas that tempt your senses when you go through the door are incomparable. So. Very delicious. Garlic. Seriously, some of the best Italians I've ever had, and I have lived and gedminated Italian food in Chicago, NJ and NYC. There is a reason why there is a moment. The food is delicious, and the staff is SUPER attentive and beautiful... a real rarity we found in SW FL restaurants in the season. Well done, Ninos. We'll be back. Over and over. Stop the good work.

The Veal Francese, Chicken Rotelli and Baked Ziti was excellent...salad and garlic knots too! Then we had enough for a second meal the next day for all three of us. Definitely going back
