Ever wonder how you can tell if a business is worth patronizing? It’s when a family of four hungry folks wanders in 45 minutes before closing, VERY underdressed, and every member of the restaurant staff makes them feel welcome.

First time visit with one of my best friends and the restaurant was celebrating their 23 year anniversary! Congratulations! The hostess greeted us immediately and we were seated. The space is elegant, clean, and inviting. The kitchen has an open view, where the chef/owner creates every dish with his team. The waitress explained the specials with great detail and was very kind. The menu has many great choices. We ordered the lobster bisque which was fantastic! Very savory and served hot. Ordered the baby spinach salad, which included gorgonzola, strawberries and pine nuts, tossed in grapeseed oil. The waitress forewarned us it was a large salad and offered to split it so my friend and I could share. The portions were perfectly divided. We ordered the sea bass special, served with scalloped potatoes and vegetables. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. The scalloped potatoes were great with just the right amount of cream. The vegetables had consistent texture with no sogginess. Portions were very filling, but we still managed to order the homemade tiramisu and Italian cheesecake. We split those too! It was completely worth it! I will absolutely return. Thank you for the great service and delicious food!

The food was bland both preparation and presentation was lacking. The crab stuffed mushrooms were swimming in water, the steak was fatty and under cooked, yet still remained tough and the dull utensil to cut it only exasperated the the experience. My seafood consisted of a swordfish filet that was dry in spite of the water it sat in, and the two shrimp and two crab claws with five small clams two devoid of the clam was the clincher in the do not return category. The Crème Brûlée my wife swears was crusted with a candle and tasted of wax. The experience was not good. Calling that fine dining is like calling a McDonald’s drive-thru a steakhouse.

I recalled having been there many years ago, thought very expensive. But, now prices are better, but the food was mediocre. Service was ok, just ok. The atmosphere was quiet, not noisy, which made it good for conversation. But, not a lot of people there, Wed night.

What a gem of a fine Italian cuisine! Top notch service. The most delicious Italian food I’ve had in Florida! Service was above and beyond. Experience was perfect from beginning to end! Will definitely be visiting again!

If I could give this zero stars I surely would. I have enjoyed trips to the dentist more. Service to start was absolutely horrible. I heard our waiter apologize more than he worked. Literally every table. I’m fairly certain Bill our waiter was on drugs. The table next to us was served and 20 minutes later one of their party still sitting with no food. We waited over 30 min with empty drinks never were we offered a refill. By the time he brought drinks we were ready to leave. This man shouldn’t be allowed to wait tables at Waffle House. The food. Save your money and go to Arby’s! My spouse ordered the veal. When her plate arrived the tomatoes hid the meat. It didn’t exist. I had the chicken. I had one bite it tasted like it was raw. The vegetables served were raw and I couldn’t Pierce them with my fork. After hearing apology after apology we were offered free desert. The cheesecake tasted frozen and the tiramisu was absolutely horrible. This restaurant should be shut down. If you go you will leave HOURS later starving and feeling robbed. Absolutely rediculous! When my father asked about our order that took almost two hours he was greeted with a snarky reply. I have never in my entire life had a more horrible experience. This is NOT authentic food..most wasn’t even edible.

We had a fantastic meal here last night! The food was incredible and prepared to perfection. The staff was courteous, professional and kind. The owner greeted our table and it was a delight to talk with him about his passion for Italian cuisine, the different regions in Italy, and his love for the community here in Estero. We will definitely be back again. I highly recommend Ristorante Farfalla for the delicious Italian food and the charming dining experience!

Mediocre food. Flavorless, cold seafood, overcooked lobster, tiny shrimp. Service was eh too, our waiter was very obviously overwhelmed and couldn’t handle steady service. Really small cramped environment too, felt like I was sitting back to back with the others. Jeff was cool though, really nice and personable.
