Best Cozy Restaurants in Estero

This is a quaint restaurant with very few tables but beautifully decorated. We were visited by the chef at our table and he gave us some excellent suggestions for appetizers wine and our main courses. We started with the fig and goat cheese appetizer followed by a chorizo and Brie cheese paired with a glass of French rose. All were delicious. We then had a chicken chorizo and ham arroza and a pan seared duck breast with figs and mash potatoes. Both were excellent! For dessert we had a burnt cheese cake and an almond tart served warm. They were fabulous!! I have to say I have eaten at many restaurants in South Florida and have not had this type of service even in the most expensive restaurants. Our server was exceptional and went above and beyond!! Highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon!!!

From the moment I pulled up with my mom, the valet was right there to assist her out of the car. Alejandro, our server, was polite, attentive, and had a great sense of humor. The food was absolutely delicious—my mom loved the mussels appetizer, and my kale salad was tender and flavorful. The scallops and sea bass were perfectly cooked and so filling we couldn’t finish, but we made sure to bring cannolis home for dessert. After dinner, they walked us out and wished us a great evening. The entire experience, from the service to the incredible food, was truly worth it!

We went on Christmas Day for dinner. Even though we made a reservation, there was, understandably, a little wait for our table. We thought, for a holiday, that a half hour wait for the table was acceptable, even though others complained. My husband ordered the pasta Bolognese and practically licked the bowl! I ordered the ribs, which was indeed a full rack, and...oh...my...gosh. Not only was there an amazing dry rub, the sauce was really good, too. Let me tell you, they were actually fall-of-the-bone ribs! We appreciated not being rushed out once our meal was complete and even ordered dessert! Our server was attentive and kind, and our meal was even delivered by a robot cat! This place may not look like much from the outside but we were really glad we stopped!!

The Christmas menu was extensive with great variety. This is a top notch restaurant and the food rivals any other great restaurant in SWFL. Great value, great food, good service, good ambience.

Excellent selections and preparations, service and food outstanding. A little pricey but a special place for special occasion.
