Bianca's Ristorante Italiano ~ Fort Myers, Florida

This is an exceptional restaurant! Wow! Try Bianca's Ristorante Italiano in Fort Myers, Florida ~ you won't be disappointed!

Our friends, Bill and Stacy, bought this restaurant about a year ago. While in Naples to visit them, we stopped in to try out the cuisine. I have to say, friends or not, we were absolutely impressed.

We arrived around 4:15 on a Tuesday and they were almost at having a wait to be seated. They open at 4:00, so the fact that by 4:15 they already had nearly every table full ought to speak volumes.

We ordered appetizers: stuffed mushrooms and artichoke heart casserola and both were excellent. You also get homemade garlic rolls when you are seated....and they are scrumptious! Chris ordered the frutta del mare and I ordered the chicken portofino.....both were awesome. Huge portions.......trust me, you'll go away absolutely stuffed. Bill wanted us to try his pizza, so he had them prepare a meat lover's pizza, and it was excellent.....despite being completely full, we managed to share a piece, just to try it. We had coffee......and of course, a slice of chocolate cake (like we needed more food!) and this piece of cake was HUGE.......if you have dessert, order one and share! I saw a man order carrot cake and I think they brought him a quarter of a round cake!

The food was exceptional.......the service was exceptional........Bill makes it a point to visit every table and every customer, to check and make sure your experience in his restaurant is the best you've ever had. He also welcomes comments and if there's something he can do to make things better for you, just let him know, he honestly wants your feedback. And, how many places do you go where you get that kind of attention?

I listed to other customers as they talked and ate.......all very positive comments about the food and the service. Bill and Stacy's customers are happy and keep coming back for more. In the restaurant business, that says a lot.
