De Adriatico Restaurant - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place has some of the best food in fort myers/naples area. They always seem empty which is a shame because they deserve to have customers lined up waiting to eat. If you want food made with love and passion, this is where you need to eat. I took my fiancé here for dinner and aldo took care of us. He recommended beef Wellington, mushroom pasta, and chocolate mousse for desert. Not one of these items disappointed either of us. Weve been eating at this restraunt for months and always get something new. Please try them, you will not be disappointed

Were just walking around and decided to stop in for a bite. Had the chicken parm. The homemade pasta was excellent, but the breading on the chicken was soggy. The flavor was great. The main issue I had was that the bus person took my plate the second I had put my fork down. Other people at my table were still eating, and she was reaching over everyone to grab whatever was on the table. Could have waited until we were done eating. We felt very rushed. Check was on the table as soon as the last plate was cleared.

Petr was our server and explained the specials with detail. Offered suggestions when asked and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing and original, service was excellent. Great wine selection and one of the best tiramissu I've had. We cannot wait to go back and share with our friends!

Some of the best Mediterranean food we had in years

Excellent place, exquisite food, just don't forget to bring a bag of money ok.

The menu was expansive, service was prompt! No wait on a Friday night. There was something for everyone here and as a nutritionist, I felt the restaurant had many healthy options that are also delicious. The staff was very nice and came back to check on us often. We all greatly enjoyed the food and it was reasonably priced.

I went to Florida to visit my mom and she took us to this restaurant. My boyfriend and I were hungry as could be, we would have eaten anything by the time we showed up, but believe me, we were not disappointed. Not only were we not disappointed, we were blown away by the status of the food we received! The pasta was fresh, the portion sizes were huge, and our server, Aldo, was polite and very helpful while we were navigating the menu and all of the specials. Everything came out in a timely manner, and we were checked on often. Our experience was so good that we decided to go back the next day for lunch! Highly recommended.

I have been back to Adriatico 3x now! My first brought me back for a 2nd and 3rd time! I have to say, it is the best restaurant in this Area! The food is always fresh and portions are just right! Nothing is drenched in sauce!👍🏻 Salad portions could be a little bigger but they are delicious! The servers are very well trained and attentive. The bartenders’ Joel and Adam, make wonderful drinks and are delightful to chat with! The owner, Hugo comes out to say hello and makes sure you are happy with your order! I really wish them much success! Please don’t ever leave because we love your food❣️ TT Conlon

First time in, OMG! Loved it Very fresh and outstanding specials. We live an hour away and will be back often! Last, may I mention the Pasta is made fresh everyday.

Food was good, but what made it really worth going was service with a smile and enthusiasm. Aldo made sure I had everything I needed as soon as I asked for it and that makes me happy. Knowing that I’m being well tended to. The food could use a little tweaking…. The Osso Buco was ok, but I think it lacked something. I feel the sauce could use more time to blend in with the meat. My drink was delicious! The carpaccio was delightful.

Excellent food, service and Ambiente

Peter was the best waiter ever! Amazing service, food was unbelievable! This is a hidden gem in Fort Myers. Peter took the time to go through every special. You can tell the owner and his family who work here take pride in what they do and it shows in the food and service. We will be back!

Fantastic dining experience. We will be back!

We love the atmosphere of the De Adriatico Restaurant. Server Aldo was super accommodating to our three teenagers and toddler. This is a little treasure, even the owner Hugo came out to check in on us. We will definitely be back. Oh and the desserts, were delicious!

Aldo was such an amazing server, he gave us such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, I haven’t had a good Paella or good home made pasta in a long time. The Tiramisu was so original and it was so delicious! 10/10

The food was excellent and Aldo was our server and he was excellent and a professional. He was training a young lady and she did an outstanding job. We had no idea where we were going to eat and we saw this place on a google search and it was a great choice. The food was fresh and the appetizer a cheese dish was out of this world. Highly recommend this place.

Great dinner experience. The bartender Adam was very pleasant and attentive. We had baked octopus and fried eggplant caprese for starters, lamb chops and pasta primavera as our meals. Tiramisu for desert. Everything was so delicious, came out as expected and in a timely manner although the restaurant was very busy. All staff members were very helpful and nice.

The experience was amazing! Met the owner Hugo. Very kind and professional. The atmosphere was top notch. Best part is, food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back!

Excellent service, the waiters are very friendly and really know their job, the food is DELICIOUS and fast, the decoration and music are very pleasant, my favorite in the surroundings!!!

Food is okay, but the portions seemed small for the price.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, very attentive and friendly staff

Great dinners! Had the special for the night mushroom ravioli and skirt steak. Awesome

Finally....something different ! Great food....amazing service 👏

Great food good quiet atmosphere. Support the locals very important.

Enjoyable dining experience. Warm and inviting ambience. Veal and stuffed salmon finely prepared , attentive service.

Thank you Aldo! Delicious and best place to go. If by the airport or the mall come here!!!!

Had a fantastic dinner this evening! Thank you to our server Aldo and the owner Hugo for recommending dinner entrees. Grilled octopus is delicious. Also I recommend to have a side dish of baba ganoush for an appetizer! Bronzino was superb and their fresh pasta with the goulash was delicious!

What a fabulous restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! The owner always comes up to the table to check on everything and thank us for coming. One of the best restaurants around! Aldo was our server and he was awesome! Our new favorite restaurant!!

Best I have ate in 5 years here in Florida. Why have I gone to carrabbas. My go to place. Peter was awesome. Fantastic food.

Excellent food! We were a party of 4 we were all very pleased with our entrees. Authentic and delicious, this is a must go to place. Service was professional!! Highly recommend.

Just finished up dinner here. The Ossobuco special was spectacular. Meat fell right off the bone, the saffron risotto was awesome. Appetizers were great too. Aldo, our server, was very kind, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Wish I would have taken a picture of the food to share, but sadly I couldn’t wait. Tl;dr: Delicious. Will be back!

A pleasant space Everything was very good and I would visit again and recommend

Great food and a good dining experience. A little pricey but worth it.

ALDO was incredible. So many great menu suggestions and brought so much personality to our dinner. We had a wonderful night. Thank you Aldo!

Don’t even waste your time or money here, $100 plate of food that had to be sent back 3 times, Cocktail drinks tasted watered down weird and gross. You’re better off eating anywhere else at Gulf Coast like next door at Carrabas.

I came here to celebrate my daughters birthday on mothers day and was completely disappointed. Our drinks tasted gross and watered down, the food had to be sent back twice until the owner had to come to us and explain he would recook the two dishes himself. After all this, we had to pay full price with a $600 bill for a party of 6 people and forced to give a $80 tip when our server never once checked up on us. Go to P.F Changs or Carrabas for a better meal and experience.

Fabulous! I have been here several times , I enjoyed the osso bucca,lobster, shrimp , bass everything is always fantastic! Waiters are top notch , wine selection great

We were 7 for a dinner in Adriatico and we were greatly deceived. To begin with, we ordered a bottle of Crema Russian Valley from the menu which was $75. The wine arrived and I noticed by chance that the bottle was Crema Sonoma Coast, not Russian Valley (the Sonoma retails for twice as cheaper). Not only did not the waiter mention that the bottle was different from the one in the menu, he only apologized but still charged us the price of the more expensive wine! When the check came in I was pretty much shocked to see the price they charged us as I was expecting to see an amended price. Because… the wine was not the only problem on that night. I ordered a filet mignon steak with no sauce and it came WITH the sauce. Everybody started their meal and I was waiting for a new dish with no sauce which came in super quickly and RAW whereas I ordered it medium. The food was drenched in fat and the meat was of pretty undecent quality for the price. I know my sister loves this restaurant and we go there quite often but this time I am really done - I will not return!

Eaten here 3 times. Very good!!!

Excellent food and excellent service. Very fresh food with lots of specials.

This place is incredible! The food is always amazing Aldo always provides us with top notch service

All I can say is WOW. The food was excellent, the service was top notch. I could feel the Mediterranean vibe. Can’t wait to go back!

Great service, great food!! Ivan was great!!

Service, selection, and special is what you experience when you patronize this gem. The servers are spot on with recommendations and timely in their return with refills and menu. The selection is broad with many tastefully creative Italian and Greek options. We return weekly because on the 2nd visit they remembered at least 1 unique trait or item from the menu we made... and not just our table but other returning guests we have heard... we Highly recommend you make this your home away from home experience. Excellent service from the servers Harrison, Mirko, Peter, and food expediters James, and Steven, and support staff.. an Albanian and Bolivian and the hosts and owners...,(one and the same) working and complimenting their associates as a family does...yes. still an excellent choice

Great service. But ya know what stinks about this country? The swindling, the dishonest veneer of "quality " and greed that envelopes all of the culture here. Got food poisoning from eating the fish and shrimp here....absurd that people charge top dollar for bottom barrel old fish....no it's important you scam my money, that's important but not just merely serving some food that's not SPOILED....no concern for anything other than the almighty dollar. They know too, they know full well they are selling something spoiled , they themselves wouldn't feed their own family spoiled fish but they are completely fine selling it to you, all for that MONEY ....that's all that matter in this society now. Not even unspoiled food, not quality food. You pay 200 for a hotel room and it's covered in human filth, fleas usually, mold, noise, disgust. And you know what? Americans have zero class or taste after eating McDonald's for their entire lives most people eat it right up! A bunch of positive reviews for this place (veneer, good plating and presentation fools their untrained palate) the overall food quality in general was lower end...yet everyone thinks its the beez knees! Oooooh boy! A menu that doesnt have cheese burgers and fried food, must be exotic huh! No....its trash. Like all of you people. You pay for anything now it's cheap plastic and spoiled food and it's packaged as "first world" and you all accept it merrily.... Pathetic. I traveled south america and it's Pathetic how much and how many countries there outshine this "first world " . Medical system, food quality, build quality of homes, restaurants etc. People there actually CARE about what they are doinylg. Down there concrete block or brick, here it's pine and drywall.....I CANT WAIT TO LEAVE USA! ITS A SCAM! Karma will be a real B_____in the coming years. Good luck! Enjoy your apathetic downfall!!!!!

Very good with unique flavor profiles…in a good way.

Best Mediterranean food in the area.

Inattentive waiter, not busy at all, just minimal ...food fine,nice surroundings better than previous restaurant

Very nice and welcoming place, Ugo the owner, welcomed us as if we were always friends, the fantastic food and the homemade pasta and desserts made by them.....if you are in the Fort Mayer area, you absolutely must come and dine here. Thank you for your service and care

Excellent atmosphere, spectacular food, scallops and shrimp and wellington filet and the posters ♥️ I definitely recommend you, we will return

The server was clearly focused on upselling. Once we ordered a typical meal with just one drink or wine per person he was MIA. We had to ask another employee for grated cheese and the server never asked if everything was ok. Our entrees came out shockingly fast as if he asked the kitchen to help turn the table over for a higher average check. We did spend over $100 per couple. The food was outstanding. The outside seating is not bad considering you basically right outside a parking lot.

This restaurant was excellent. The menu was vast, the food is scratch made daily, the service was wonderful. We ordered the eggplant caprese, fried zucchini and calamari and the lemon chicken. The eggplant was perfectly crispy. The calamari was so tender and I loved that they only served the rings vs the tentacles. The dipping marinara was fresh and flavorful. We also loved the lemon chicken; it was super tender and the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy. My niece got the kids pasta and loved it. It was a huge portion and the pasta was scratch made. I highly recommend. Sit outside if the weather permits and you sort of feel like you’re somewhere else!

Very good food and service. We met with friends and weren't rushed at all.

Got a room at the Crowne Plaza for our flight out of Fort Myers the next day and found this gem of a spot for dinner. Love Mediterranean food so we gave it a try. The atmosphere and decor bring you there and the waiters are at your beckon call, treating you like royalty. Started out with the complimentary Flatbread and Bruschetta, flatbread was crispy, soft and chewy all at the same time and the Bruschetta was on point. We followed with a Mediterranean Dips and flatbread appetizer. Hummus, Tzatziki and Eggplant, all three were delicious and once again the flatbread was great. For our entrees I had the Asso Bucco with Risotto and she had the Chef Rigatoni with eggplant, olives and capers in a marinara. They were both very good and filled us up. We had to take our Tiramisu home with us and are still so full we haven’t tried it yet.

Just a great restaurant. Been there multiple times now. It's a go to for us.

We highly recommend De Adriatico, having both lunched and dined there on a number of occasions. Without exception, our guests and table companions offered similar approbation. The menu contains so many appealing choices and additionally, a big plus is the trattoria-like list of commendable offerings. Great food is served by a happy, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the dining experience is further enhanced by the pleasant ambience.

Very nice and the price is about what you'd expect for higher end. Creative presentation and generally all very tasty. Had crab stuffed salmon (massive portions could have served two people) and super tender lemon chicken. Overall a good experience.

Our waiter was fantastic. Our food was way over priced for the quality.

This was my 5th visit & they never fail to impress. I have picked a different 'special' each time. The staff are excellent & have knowledge on every menu item as they get to taste everything as part of their training. Nice wine list too. They sometimes have issues with seating even if you reserve.

Went last night for my birthday 🎂 to eat got a paella everything went well when I left the restaurant I felt bad. When I got home Ive had diarrhea, vomiting 🤮,fever everything on the dam book you guys are killing people please beware is not fair having to go thru this. 🚧Update food poisoning still sick and lost work and tomorrow aswell cause I'm doing really bad. The least you can do is say sorry but nothing incredible. What a waste of $94 dollars

Average bland food, outdated decorations and a very menu that needs a young face wash.

As good as ever. Foods deliciously seasoned and proper portions. The Octopus is my favorite! Service excellent and sitting out on the patio very calming. Owner is charming . Highly Recommend!

Always something new and tasty The chef is an expert

The service was excellent, the dinner delicious, and the atmosphere pleasant.

Phenomenal service from both our waiter and the owner himself! The food was some of the tastiest I've had (lobster ravioli special), and I can't stop wishing I could go back for more (we do not live locally). We sat out on the patio in Feb and they had heaters to keep us from getting chilly when the sun went down.

My family and I came to dine on a Saturday night. Everything was decent until the server told us the wrong specials. We didn't realize my dish was incorrect (& the server didn't know it was wrong either) until it arrived but I was so hungry so I didn't send it back. Their was nothing "special" about this dish. The skirt steak was very chewy and overcooked. The ends were burnt. The pasta was too doughy. The cream sauce was overkill and overpowered the dish. It was definitely not worth $45. What was also worse was that nobody from management came to apologize or ask if we needed anything since the dish was incorrect. It's very unfortunate we had a bad experience because this place seemed to have potential.

Failure On Many Levels We had a reservation and were sat down at a table. Others waiting were complaining bc they had to wait a half hour after their reservation. We only had to wait 15 min, so it wasn't that bad. We were sat at our table and were waiting for the waiter to ask for our drink orders when after a few minutes the host comes over and told us we have to change tables. Some other group complained about their table by the kitchen entrance, so they told us to move. I told them our table was fine, but the host said we had to go to another table. That's terrible business. Then sitting at that table by the kitchen was crappy bc the door swings open and slams against the back of our bench the throughout the night. 45 minutes after ordering and waiting for our food the waitress said it was understaffed tonight. I get it, that happens. But the food still didn't come out for another fifteen minutes. One hour after ordering, plus more time for waiting to order and switching tables. It would have been good to give a heads-up earlier rather than waiting there forever. ORDERED Chicken parm = really boring. Came with noodles that had canned tomato puree for a sauce. Chicken was worse than Olive garden. Mahi mahi was drenched in salty super lemon sauce. The fiochetti was good. If you have to eat here, order this. Rigatoni alla vodka was really bland and tasted of insipid canned sauce. The tiramisu was frozen in the center. Almost everything was off. The waitress did apologize about the wait. It's not her fault, so I sympathize with her situation. When she asked how the food was, we were almost done eating. I didn't really eat much of my chicken parm and two bites of the noodles, and when she asked how the food was I just explained that most the dishes tasted like plain tomato sauce and not very good. The manager came over and asked to make something different. I told her I didn't want to wait anymore and was ready to leave, but thanked her for the act. Then she offered a complimentary dessert. I turned it down, but she wanted to make things better. So we accepted the tiramisu.

The first time here I meant to review and just forgot. Went there again and it was even more wonderful. The food is so spot on, flavorful, and fresh. A great menu with many choices. The service is better than just about any restaurant here in SW Fl.. The restaurant is clean and has a very nice flow both inside and outside dining. Nice bar too. The owners are right on top of their game, checking tables, sharing pleasantries, and making sure you are enjoying. I love to see this small business thrive. 5 stars.

What a find! Incredible, genuinely Italian food. Great service, really enjoyed this place. 5*

Excellent Mediterranean food. Delightful server, yummy drinks. It was an enjoyable experience.

Service was great, owner was wonderful and personally checked on each table. Octopus was flavourful- lamb rack was very underwhelming.

Great outdoor vibe for a shopping center location and good food. Professional service although a little slow at times. Loved my chicken. Husband got lambchops another guest seafood with shrimp.

One of the best meals we have ever had! We have lived here 13 years and eaten at many places but the food and service here was the best.

Our first time to celebrate my birthday. Aldo was our server and he was very attentive making our dining experience wonderful. My husband and I shared the grilled octopus which it was tender and flavorful, our entrees chicken marsala and beef wellington were delicious, for dessert creme Brule and capuchinos to finish. Ambience, staff, background music all nicely done. Outside patio looks very nice. A new and an amazing med cuisine. Highly recommend 👌.

Excellent spot for great food choices! Our server Harrison was fantastic and the food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal! This will be our new spot for Mediterranean fare. Spectacular. And on the front page of the menu, the story of how it came to be was awesomely intriguing. 👏

How it is 4.8 is amazing to me. Service very slow, several empty tables on a Wednesday. Had chef rigatoni, the marinara was out of a jar or can, it was awful. Like hints tomato paste blended with olive oil and Campbells tomato soup. Wife had Wellington, it was average at best. Wedge salad, out of blue cheese so they drowned it in ranch and red onions . Told server how bad Marinara sauce was. He said sorry and walked away. Never asked if I wanted another dish or offered discount. If this is 4.8 the. Millers ale house is 4.6 and Carrarabas is 4.7 . Won’t return

The free bread and “bruschetta” was the only good part of this dinner. The beef carpaccio appetizer had no flavor and my hubby and friend didn’t care for it. Waiter convinced my hubby and friend to get the special which was sea bass with shrimp. He even said it’s better than the salmon because they sell it the most and it’s “fresh”. Both of them said that it tasted frozen. Like why say it’s fresh if it’s frozen fish. So I ordered the lemon chicken. This was the worst of everything. The chicken was DRENCHED in lemon sauce but it’s like it was sitting in broth. So the chicken was so soaked and wet that the texture was so bad that I couldn’t eat it and sent it back. I decided to order the Greek salad instead and waiter talked me into the grilled chicken cause it’s grilled and would be better. So the Greek salad was these HUGE chunks of cucumbers and tomatoes. Like why do they cut them that big?! The “lemon dressing” didn’t taste like anything. The grilled chicken was bland. Literally tasted like nothing. Honestly it could have been frozen too. I have no idea why this place has such high reviews. We spent $140 all together for literally nothing good.

This place was an amazing find with terrific food, wide selection, and outstanding service! Highly recommend.

Great menu, delicious food and exceptional service! After dinner, we got escorted back to our car with an umbrella as there was a huge rain storm. That was going above and beyond!

Tremendous food and service! Great unexpected offerings and lovely atmosphere!!

Aldo has excellent customer services and patience. The food is 11/10

Food was delicious from appetizer to entree especially the cocktails and the service was exceptional very attentive staff Jesse was great

Great drinks, meals, service, and menu specials!

We had lovely meals—a steak perfectly cooked, moist salmon, delicious lemon chicken and two wonderful pasta dishes. Aldo was attentive and helpful and made for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend!!

This place has the best pasta,shrimp,salmon, and mussels. Everything here was spectacular! Our waiter was very welcoming and made me laugh. Great environment and very friendly. I highly recommend this place :)

From the moment we walked up to the door we were greeted with warm smiles. We ordered all different kinds of dishes and had a bottle service. Everyone was cheerful and educated on the menu. The portions were above average and there home made pasta and sauce mama mia!! Over all amazing experience! They sang happy birthday I didn't even know they would for my husband. Dessert did not dissatisfied either. Thank you!

We ate at De Adriatico today for lunch and had an amazing experience. Aldo gave fantastic service and was very knowledgeable about the menu, giving great recommendations. The lamb ravioli and chocolate mousse are a must try when you dine here.

This place is amazing. Plain & Simple. From the Food, to the atmosphere, and the people working there. I just tried it for the first time, and I am completely obsessed! I'd like to offer a special thanks to our server, Aldo! What an awesome experience he provided. His food expertise & recommendations where the cherry on top! We can't wait to go back. Buon Appetite!

Ordered the beef wellington. Very delicious.

This was our first time and we absolutely loved this restaurant. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food. All was wonderful. We had a salad with baked rigatoni and lobster ravioli and finished with baklava. All incredibly delicious. We will be back many times.

The menu is large and varied the waiter Aldo made excellent recommendations. All meals were cooked to perfection and delicious. Being from out of town this will be our go to restaurant in Fort Myers. I highly recommend. Pierre

Excellent food, and the service outstanding Aldo did good job,,the owner come and talked with us,..Buono Buono complimenti and good luck buona fortuna

1st time visiting, great experience overall, food, service, everything was excellent, we’re definitely coming back soon.

Enjoyed a delicious meal yesterday -the food was fresh and service was good. Will definitely come back again. We met the owner and he was a delight. You can see how much he cares to provide an excellent experience to his patrons.

Fine dining in a shopping mall? Who would have known! Highly recommended for those interested in fine italian, Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine.

Such an attentive and caring team, really made my birthday feel special! Food and drinks were fantastic, menu included vegetarian and gluten free options, and a delicious tiramisu!

Nice place! Had the chicken Marsala, it was excellent. Will return!

Great music, great service, an amazing food. Visit it!

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while!!! Amazing food and amazing service. We had such a great waitress(I wish I remembered her name) we went to celebrate my friends birthday and they made it perfect! Owners were absolutely fantastic!!!!! I can’t wait to go again!

What an unforgettable meal! From being greeted by the owner, a real Italian waiter, and homemade pasta and sauces that were delectable. You will not be disappointed! I could go every night! Thank you!
