    Another absolutely amazing meal! Calamari is always delish. Tonight’s seabass was the best I have ever had! Well done RF team! The chocolate mousse cake was a decadent way to end a fabulous meal. Put this on your must do list for dining out!

    Every real is individually prepared to your order. The food we had was excellent. If you have food allergies, this is a place to go as the owner and Chef Michael will make certain your meal is safe and tasty. This was our first visit and we look forward to returning often. Thank you, Michael and your staff for a wonderful experience, food and service! Bravo. We will be back.

    Don't let its proximity to a Publix grocery store deter you from checking out this gem of an Italian/Mediterranean fine eatery. While I have my favorite menu items, all that I've tried have been excellent. The wine list is extensive; the Montepulcianos are my favorite. I encourage you to give it a try.

    Greeted very friendly and seated quickly. Also quick attention with menus and water. Took our wine order and provided us with specials, then gave us time to try the wine and peruse the menu, which has many fine offerings. Nice to see an open kitchen looking very organized and professional. Placed our orders which came within a very reasonable time. The meals were nicely presented, served hot, very tasty and reasonable size portions. I feel the value for dollars spent is quite good for southwest Florida during season. I also really enjoyed the fact that the restaurant is not an overly large space so the sound level is very comfortable . You can actually have a conversation with the people at your table without shouting and there is no music blasting away. We were a table of three and all enjoyed a great meal and comfortable experience.
