Not only our favorite place to dine but a great spot to get married! We had our wedding in January of 2026 and still dream about the amazing day. The staff is absolutely unbelievable as well as Mary Beth! We felt like they became family, making sure our special day was exactly what we wanted. I can’t recommend it enough for a wedding or even just a nice dinner. From start to finish they pay attention to every detail to make sure everything is executed thoroughly. We will be back time and time again! Incredible food as well!

We went here for my husband’s birthday and the way their took care of us was above and beyond. The food was great, homemade pasta bologna, so good, seafood tower, excellent. The view and sunset were spectacular and they put heaters out to keep it warm at night, if necessary

I went early before they opened to make a reservation in person as I was bringing my baby. They were so lovely at the front we chatted for 30 mins. When I came back for my reservation all was fine but then the main gentleman got very upset I had a baby with me and made a couple snarky comments. The waiter shifted moods as well. It was all very awkward so I asked for my food to go which they wouldn’t accommodate so they brought it to the table with the check then took it immediately to be boxed. Mind you it was Tuesday at 5pm so only people in the entire restaurant dining outside. It was very terrible service but maybe on me for bringing a baby to the atmosphere of an empty spot. Food was good though and better than a lot of the restaurants around here but the worst service I’ve had in a very long time.

Excellent food, the pasta is freshly made and very tasty. FYI the beet salad is delicious but while the menu description doesn’t mention cheese, be prepared for a big dollop of goat cheese. The lobster bisque was very creamy and a favourite at our table. The frutti di mare was so good and a great portion. Our table also enjoyed the halibut and the tartufo pasta. Solid cocktails and wine selection too. The pistachio gelato and the coconut sorbetto were an awesome way to end the meal. The only note on the atmosphere is that it’s very loud when the restaurant is crowded so might be difficult to have quiet conversations. We’ve been here another time where it wasn’t as noisy so might just be the result of a busy night with large groups.

Favorite Italian restaurant on Marco Island. Great food and service. Noise factor is at a minimum. Can have a conversation without yelling.

Beautiful Atmosphere with great service. The food was fantastic and is some of the best handmade Italian I have ever had anywhere in US.

This restaurant has a lot of hype and is quite difficult to get a reservation. Maybe my expectations were too high. Everything tasted “fine” but nothing wowed me. The burrata was just burrata. It needed a crunch or something. It was just a giant hunk of cheese. The fritto misto was okay but nothing special. The pasta was tasty and cooked properly. The fish was good. The desserts were definitely a let down. So overall it was good but doesn’t live up to the hype.

Sale e Pepe is literally a dream venue to have a wedding. When I told people I was getting married on Marco, they all assumed it was one of the hotels — but when they found out it was Sale e Pepe, people actually gasped and said how much they loved it there.
From the second we met Mary Beth, the events/wedding coordinator, and visited the restaurant, we knew this was a special place. She was so thorough, professional, and on top of every detail. You can tell she runs a tight ship, which is why their weddings get such amazing reviews. She’s also incredibly easy to communicate with and super helpful — she has a preferred vendor list that takes so much stress out of planning, especially since I was from out of town. We even experienced an issue with one of our vendors, and she helped us navigate it.
The entire wedding being outside was a dream. The ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour on the terrace, and the reception overlooking the water… you honestly can’t ask for anything more. The venue itself is stunning, and the staff is incredible. The way they come out and serve the food is something no one had ever seen before — our guests were raving about the service and saying they had no idea wedding food could taste that good. It’s truly just a delicious Italian meal.
This was honestly the best day of my life, and so much of that is because of the venue and because Mary Beth and her team made it all possible. I couldn’t recommend this venue more!

Hands down the best fine dining in the NAPLES /MARCO area. The food is amazing , the views are incredible but the service is hands down better than anywhere. The manager is so attentive and always recognizes the customers. Our server Alejandro is amazing. She welcomed us upon arrival and remembered everything we ate and drank on our last visit. We made sure before we left we made another reservation and requested her as our server. Love this place oh and the valet parking attendants are a hoot.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and the food tastes very good, although the prices are too high for the quality offered, especially the drink prices do not correspond to the offered standard.
In addition, the restaurant charges an obligatory service charge of 20%, which in my opinion is extortionate. Even if this is in accordance with the applicable laws in Florida, the system of tips and service charges has gotten so out of control that it is no longer fun to go out for a good meal.
Especially in a restaurant like this one, which considers itself a high-class establishment, I expect that even without a service charge, appropriate wages are paid and a tip is paid as a sign of special service, which was the original idea of tipping.
In the end, the person who buys a more expensive bottle of wine, for example, is “punished”, as they then pay a proportionately higher service charge than a guest who orders a cheaper bottle, even though the “ effort” with both bottles is the same and the restaurateur earns more from the more expensive bottle anyway.
