You’re having fun in the sun in Fort Myers and are wanting something special to eat for dinner. Echo Restaurant is the exact answer for very high level Italian at reasonable prices. We started of with indulgent garlic knots and a delicious shrimp bisque. Then we have everything from the Cajun Salmon to Fried Lasagna. Everything was absolutely delicious and well portioned. Service and energy matched the wonderful food. I loved the Vodka Pasta dish… maybe a little bit too much. Buon appetitio!

Echo will be on my regular rotation of restaurants going forward. We went here for the first time this past weekend. The gnocchi were the absolute best that I have ever had. Ever. I would drive the 9 miles from home just for those. My husband tried the lasagna, my friend’s husband obliterated the eggplant parm and both my friend and I ordered the pork chop – mine with gorgonzola sauce and she got the raspberry sauce. All dishes came out piping hot as they should. The chef’s pasta skills are immaculate as evidenced in his tenderly layered lasagna and pillow puffed gnocchi. We also enjoyed a chocolate layer cake and the deconstructed cannoli. Service by Sarah and Lane was outstanding! Go early. It get’s busy!

We really enjoyed our meal. Fried lasagna was excellent. Loved the gnocchi. They were the fluffiest, lightest I have ever had.

A few issues…
Could use better signage outside. Was difficult to find. Also, the Google Maps listing has a link that looks like it goes to an entirely different restaurant with a different logo and menu. Third, it would be nice to add a couple of unusual or more interesting beers to the beer list. Maybe a Belgian triple, or a stout.

Good luck! We will return.

Wednesday evening 5:30 table of 4. There was not much of a crowd yet (it built nicely later) so we were seated right away in a booth. It’s the first time since they opened and we really loved the place. The ambience is special. 2 of us got the shrimp bisque appetizer topped with a puff pastry puff. Wow, neat take on a soup that was so unbelievably tasty. We ordered pizza and lasagna. Both were very good but the lasagna was the best my wife had ever had. Our waitress was the best as were all the staff. I’ll be coming back as the menu has so many great choices. I highly recommend.

We had the best dinner at Echo. We were a party of 6 and all of us had wonderful, tasty food. My mother-in-law ate all of her lasagna, which is not usual. I had the special Stromboli with shrimp, bacon and cheese. Nice spices and flavorful. We will be back.

From the moment we walked into this charming, family-owned Italian restaurant, we felt the warm, welcoming atmosphere that only a truly passionate team can create. We chose to sit at the bar, and it turned out to be the perfect decision.
The bartender was not only incredibly kind and attentive but also impressively knowledgeable about their wine and beer selections. After a brief chat about our tastes, he recommended drinks that matched our preferences spot-on — a small but memorable touch that elevated the entire experience.
We started with two appetizers: the truffle fries and the meatballs wrapped in pizza dough, served with a rich, flavorful sauce. Both were beyond excellent. The fries were crispy, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned — you could taste the quality of the truffle oil. But the true standout was the meatball dish. The tender, savory meatballs wrapped in warm, golden pizza dough were a brilliant twist on a classic. Paired with the sauce, they were absolutely addictive.
It’s clear that this restaurant takes pride in what they do — from the thoughtful drink pairings to the elevated comfort food. We’ll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. A must-visit spot if you’re looking for authentic Italian hospitality and unforgettable bites.

Fantastic food with great service. Love the vibe. Our waitress was Megan. She was fantastic. We had the wings, the chop and the lasagna. All were great! The chop was so tender. Cant wait for lunch tomorrow for our left overs! We will definitely be back!

Echo had such a cool atmosphere, dimly lit and comfortable. The people who work here treat you as if you’ve been a regular for years. I got the clams with creamy Cajun sauce it was to die for. My husbands truffle fries were the best I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend the canoli chips for dessert
