My wife and I first tried this place back in 2018. We live in Jersey so it's hard to find time to come down. But every time we do we always stop here.. Gabe and his staff have NEVER disappointed us. This place is the best and has consistently impressed us. We love you Gabe, all the best to your family and your staff.

Service was very good. I loved the eggplant roll-ups. They give you a very generous portion of bread.Something I’d note about this place is that the pesto is on the menu as having a splash (or touch, I can’t remember) of cream. I would describe it the other way around, as mostly cream with a bit of pesto. It was still tasty, and I ate all of it ?. But for people sensitive to dairy without being completely intolerant like me, do yourselves a favor, and if you order the pesto be sure to explain that you’d like your pesto a bit less creamy than the average order.Again though, great service, and everyone else at the table loved their meals.

Holy cow this place is delish. We had eggplant parm, rigatoni with scallops, buffalo wings, cheesy garlic bread, and a calzone. It was the best calzone I've ever had. (It's huge.) Everyone loved their dishes, and our waitress, Chloe, was awesome!! The place is a funky homage to the rat pack, Marilyn Monroe, and The Godfather. Do yourself a favor and go!!

First time here. Wife and I split a small caprese salad, and calamari for appetizers. Our entrees were very good. While eating we observed the desert tray and ended up taking half of our meal home so we could have desert. I had the limoncello cake with a cappuccino and my wife had the chocolate cheese cake. All in all our service was excellent, the food good and ambiance was very nice. Good Fellows theme. This could have been a five star but Bloody Mary and NA beer was not available. We will definitely return. Our experience was very satisfying.

Had a great time when I ate there. But everytime I've ordered out it was terrible! Great place if you wanna eat in but who sends a calzone burnt with no ricotta in it. Terrible! Pics taken!

We were there on a weeknight and we're not impressed by the food or the drinks. As well the the bill at the end did not impress me. I felt like I wasted my money. The food was presented with sloppiness on the plate. The drinks were okay but not great and way overpriced. The service was okay but not great. In the same district there are a few other places that are much better and I'd rather go to those. A restaurant almost next door has one of the exact same sandwiches and it's twice as good. I think all of their dishes are lacking spice. The appetizers takes it like they came straight out of the freezer into the deep fryer. They were hot and looked good but didn't taste like anything. We didn't try their pizza and they seem to be known for their pizzas so maybe stick to that.

The spaghetti sauce was watery no taste at all. Like eating red water. Sausage had no taste at all, no spices what so ever but looked good. Prices were high for what you got. Went home hungry. Bread was cut in super small bite size pieces. If you like super bland food , then this place is for you. Servers were good.

The bread was so small we could barely butter it.The tasteless Marinara sauce on my pasta was more red water than sauce. It was as if they pulled out the pasta from the water and threw it on the plate without draining the water first which made it even worse. I had to ask for some sauce to see if I could add some thickness, wrong! My husband had the same problem with his pasta.A friend of ours ordered two meatballs. They were as dry and tasteless as could be. They had no flavor whatsoever.Needless to say, we will not be returning. Thank you.⭐We liked our Cokes and butter.⭐Our server was so attentive and great.

Great food, ambiance . Not over crowded - best kept secret in Cape Coral. Expected Tony Soprano to walk in the door at any minute. Chef Vinnie comes out and sings mostly Frank Sinatra intermittently when he’s not too busy whipping up home cooked deliciousness. I love this place.

First time trying, we celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday! The atmosphere has a cozy Italian homey feel to it. The music was wonderful, the chef came out and sang for a little bit. Our food was amazing, we had calamari, coconut shrimp and brushetta for appetizers. For dinner I had the lobster ravioli in a vodka sauce and tomato &cucumber salad, so delicious! Our servers were outgoing and friendly, they stayed on top of everything within our party group! I really just wanted to thank all the staff for a wonderful night, we all had a really fun time!
