Best Date Night Restaurants in Estero

The food and service was phenomenal. Nicole was fabulous as a server in her efforts and descriptions of the food options.

We had eaten lunch at South Fork Grille but this was our first time for dinner. He were pleasantly surprised. Everything was delicious from the South Fork Salad to the Salmon and Scallops entrees. The service was attentive and the waitress was sweet.

After several years away, we returned to Chops and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. I will recommend it . The staff even surprised us by recognizing it was a birthday celebration and brought out ice cream for the birthday girl, which was a lovely gesture and appreciated. I didn't include the information on the reservation. We also enjoyed the soft piano music. 5 Stars.

Yet another wonderful dinner and evening at San Matteo! Our table started with the Fiori di Zucca (fried Zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella) and a Caprese salad. Both were delicious. My usual Rosso di Montalcino wine was out of stock however the bar suggested an alternative which the table loved! My friend had the Pappardelle Bolognese (beef and veal Ragu), I had the Paccheri alla Genovese (Veal and Onion Braised Ragu, Parmigiano, basil), and my wife had her usual Neapolitan-style Margherita pizza. Other than bringing home half the pizza, our plates were clean!!! I forget what the other couple had for dessert but my wife and I enjoyed the Torta Panarea (pistachio biscuit stuffed with cream of ricotta and vanilla and creamy pistachio). As the evening drew to a close, Executive Chef and co-owner Giuseppe Manco stopped by our table. We praised the authentic Italian dishes that we enjoyed and finished off the evening with a Crema di Limoncello. Having visited Italy on numerous occasions and most recently Napoli and the Amalfi Coast, San Matteo is the real deal.

Had our anniversary dinner and it was very nice food and service was excellent. Best dinner in some time complimentary chefs special appetizer was a nice touch. Recommend the Veal Chop with risotto
