Hands down the most flavorful, delicious homemade pasta I’ve ever had. The gravy was beyond perfection, I wish I could get the recipe. The portion was perfect so I had a bit left over to take home. ( Heaven)
We had chefs homemade tiramisu and again perfection. Best I’ve EVER enjoyed.
I think Gordon Ramsey needs to hear about the fabulous place.
I will never enjoy pasta like this again.

There are so many “Italian” restaurants in town to choose from however, Toscano is different. Owners Diana and Antonio have succeeded in replicating a true regional style restaurant direct from Italy! If you want a standard chicken parm or pasta keep scrolling. However, if you desire a top quality and authentic Italian dining experience that you won’t soon forget…there is no need to scroll any further! Top quality ingredients, attention to detail, and pride of ownership abound. I am going back tomorrow! It’s not often that a restaurant exceeds expectations across food, service, and atmosphere, but this place delivered on every level, leaving me eager to return soon! I am confident in recommending it to anyone looking for a stellar dining experience.

First time at this small, cute place. Food was very good. I had Pasta Bolognese and the noodles were homemade. Portion size was very small. Very Italian, delish and a little pricey. The server came out with one small piece of bread on a plate each for my friend and I to start our meal but the bread was good. Trying to be positive but will not return.

Dining at Diana and Antonio’s restaurant truly feels like being transported straight to Italy. Knowing that they are from Florence makes perfect sense, because every detail — from the warmth of the hospitality to the authenticity of the flavors — reflects the heart and soul of real Italian dining. This isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience.
The eggplant Parmesan deserves special mention — it is genuinely one of the best versions I have ever had. Perfectly layered, thinly sliced, and full of rich, comforting flavor. Everything Antonio creates in the kitchen is amazing, crafted with the kind of care and passion you only find in true Italian cooking.
Diana’s gracious presence and welcoming spirit make you feel like a guest in their home rather than a customer in a restaurant. If you’ve ever dreamed of dining in Italy — this is the closest you can get without getting on a plane. A true gem!

This is a cozy trattoria that is absolutely wonderful. Being Italian and from NJ I’ve enjoyed a lot of Italian food . Caffe Toscano is as authentic and tasty as they come . From the bread to the entrees to the desserts everything was excellent. We enjoyed the octopus in the black ink pasta and the veal . They were delicious.
Antonio and Diana are warm and welcoming. It definitely gives the feeling of being in the homeland of Italy!
We will definitely be back!
Grazie

Caffe’ Toscano, McGregor Blvd., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chatter… I have been here for 7 years and have not known about this place.
This is a nice authentic italian place.
I order the Carpaccio di Bresaola. A marinated slice beef. Served tarte.
Very italian, a little pricy.
I have never had this before. It was lite and healthy. Oh yes tasty.
Plus a soup with bread that had olive oil on top.
For dessert a cannoli .
Over all food was delish.A hidden gem of a place in Ft. Myers.
The cannoli… I an not a fan of cannolis…they all taste the same ( just like beans at mexican places). This was fresh it was good but just like other joints.
I must say this can be a romantic place. Just check it out to see if it meets your needs.
Service was excellent.

Caffe Toscano is light years away from chain Italian food. This is the real deal cooked by native Italian Antonio Durante using the best ingredients he can import combined with the freshest ingredients he can find locally. Because of this, you need to understand that real food does take time to cook. Chef Durante elevates food to artistry, so simply plan for this timing when you place your order.
We’ve enjoyed dining at Caffe Toscano ever since it first opened. Because of the current climate, we were delighted when we discovered Chef Durante reopened after the government-ordered restaurant shutdowns and had transformed his gourmet Italian cuisine exclusively into a gourmet-to-go experience so we could enjoy fine dining at home with the restaurant’s curbside pickup. Each week, he rotates longtime customer favorite dishes on the menu so he can keep everything at its freshest. You can get a full gourmet meal to go from appetizer through dessert, and even select the perfect wine to enjoy with it. The food is packed in sustainable brown cartons.
Here are some dishes we ordered recently, with photos:
Burrata Caprese salad
The combination of some slightly bitter greens (perhaps arugula) in the salad complements the sweetness of the tomato. This all contrasts with cool, semi-liquid cream center of the ball of burrata cheese, which flows out when the chewy exterior that is similar to fresh mozzarella is cut. Light drizzles of fine olive oil and balsamic vinegar with ribbons of basil over the top set it all off. The bottom line is better greens lead to a better salad.
Olives
Who knew olives needed, and could benefit from, preparation? Chef Durante marinates a variety of olives in olive oil and spices. This reduces the saltiness of the olives. When served with cheeses, the different flavors in the spiced oil brings out the nuttiness in the aged Italian cheeses.
Crostini Di Fegatini
This smooth house-made chicken liver pate served on toasted bread with olives makes has a richness and depth to it. The savoriness of it pairs well with wine, serving as counterpoint and accentuating the flavor of the drink.
Pappardelle Bolognese
This hearty Italian dish will satisfy the meat-lover’s soul without them ever knowing they are also getting some vegetables as well. The broad, tender egg noodles soak up the meat-based sauce laced with a subtle addition of fresh tomatoes (because you can see the tomato skins in the sauce). Chef Durante liberally dusts the whole thing with a freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano that’s been aged 28 months. It just might be the Italian comfort food equivalent of meatloaf or beef stroganoff.
Ravioli
These large, delicate, beautifully folded house-made pasta are filled with a finely chopped filling of spinach and cheese. Then they are dressed simply with diced sage, walnuts, and thin-sliced Italian prosciutto ham, all of which have been crisped by sautéing in hot olive oil
Whereas most ravioli usually is drowned in spaghetti sauce, this homemade ravioli needs no such disguise. We’ve never tasted anything like this ravioli dish. Like any great chef, restaurant owner Antonio Durante has combined different foods and spices to create something incredibly wonderful. Less is more here. This dish invites you to actually taste the food and is a delight to the palate.
Tartufo
The thick layer of cocoa powder and crushed hazelnuts encrusts and contrasts with a ball of milky chocolate and liquor-flavored gelatos for this dessert reminiscent of gourmet version of the top of a chocolate nut coated ice cream cone. The dessert has a subtle sweetness to it that doesn’t overwhelm the flavors and qualities of its ingredients.
Tiramisu
The classic dessert has a wonderfully deep coffee flavor to the soaked cake that contrasts to its creamy fillings when Chef Durante prepares it. It’s a light and fluffy ending that not overly sweet, with rich espresso powder forward note from the generous dusting atop.

Cozy authentic Italian restaurant serving incredible food made from scratch with fresh and Italian imported ingredients mixed with local produces. It feels like Europe once you are inside this restaurant. Is definitely worth the wait for their open season.
