Restaurant Review: A Mediterranean Gem with Heart and Flavor We had an unforgettable dinner at this Mediterranean restaurant, and everything from the ambiance to the food left a lasting impression. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome by the hostess set the tone for the evening. We chose to sit out on the patio, which was beautifully lit and had just the right vibe—relaxed, stylish, and perfect for a fun evening out. Our server was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. The highlight of the night was when the owner, Hugo, stopped by our table. He shared fascinating stories from his travels across Europe and Latin America and how those experiences inspired unique spins on traditional Mediterranean dishes. It added a personal and thoughtful touch to the whole experience. We ordered the lamb chops, salmon, chicken parmesan, and finished with a slice of heavenly baklava. Each dish was presented with care and flair, and the flavors truly delivered. This place hits every mark: service, atmosphere, food, and personality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious, memorable evening.

I visited this restaurant last night for the first time.with my sister and a friend from out of state. It was excellent! Shout out to Adam, the bartender who was also our waiter and who made our visit there so enjoyable and so much fun! Just so you know, Adam makes the best espresso Martini on the planet! The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly and helpful and we had a great time. They only regret was that at the end of the evening when we took a picture to commemorate the evening before our friend left to go back home, that we did not get one with Adam!

What a great find for us! We have passed by this place so many times, and we always wanted to visit. We found that the food was fantastic, and the service was spectacular. I texted at noon to get a reservation for dinner and the Response came back in a couple of hours. We were set! So we arrived on a busy Friday evening. We sat inside. Quick and expert service, and the owners stopped by to check on us too. We started with drinks and the eggplant roll ups. They were great. Loved it. Our entrees were the scallops &shrimp special, and also the ossobuco veal. Both were excellent. We had to refuse to get dessert as we were stuffed! We will be back !

The food was great, and the atmosphere was wonderful, but what made this night magnificent was the service! Our server made us feel like we were the only ones in the place and that our enjoyment was all that mattered. I will recommend this to anyone who enjoys fabulous Mediterranean food in an upscale quaint environment with the best service in 3 counties.

This is a gem! We are in town visiting some family and they brought us to this wonderful little restaurant in Estero. It is a Mediterranean style restaurant with a European flair and a family run business. Our waiter Peter is a son on law of the owner the hostess is a neice and the owner Hugo stopped by to check on us. We started with a pita type homemade warm bread with fresh Bruscetta that comes on the table when you arrive. Hugo recommended the Eastern European Vodka which was very smooth. We all went with different dishes one went with the osso buco, one with shrimp and scallops. my wife had the lobster ravioli, and I had the Fresh made paperdelli pasta, beef stroganoff. each was So fresh and delicious! The Osso Buco came with a yellow rice, The Shrimp and scallops came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. my Stroganoff had a scoop of Tzatzki. It was as good as the one I had in Vienna several years back. This place is as must go to when the area!

First have to say the service was so good. Typically have too be at an upscale restaurant to get really good service like this but everyone was truly excellent. The food was very tasty. Had salads and main dishes were lamb chops, ravioli, side of risotto. The one consistent point to all the dishes was they weren’t overly done. Not too much salad dressing or greasy or loaded with butter etc. which we keep seeing here locally. All very light, properly cooked, seasoned, and extremely tasty. Pasta made in house. We finished all of our plates and that rarely happens! Ravioli was so good, used the bread to finish the sauce. Will definitely return. Want to dig into the dessert choices next!
