Just like his Chocolate, Norman Love serves exquisite Gelati (Gelato in plural). The Gelati were smooth, and superb texture is much better than ice cream! What flavor of Gelato? Well, how about Chocolate, Lemon sorbetto, Egg Nog, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, Mango, Pistachio, Cookies and Cream, Mocha Almond Fudge, Smores, Caramel Pecan Turtle, Peanut Butter crunch, Rocky Road, Cherry Vanilla, Mint chip, and a few that I can't remember! With so many selections to choose from, you can easily look confused at the counter. Well you can spoon off a sample from your friends. Or better yet, come back next time or buy a pint to take home. It is that good! They even serve Crepes and Sundaes! It is simply amazing. A wonderful place to stop by after your visit to the Fenway Park South!

Really tasty gelato and awesome service…read more A little pricy for an every day treat but an overall good value given the preparation and portions.

I can't believe I found this place through instagram haha, It's was definitely worth the trip,…read moreespecially if you are local to the area. We normally don't come around Cape Coral due to the drive however it's definitely an area worth exploring. We had just finished an escape room in the area and this was the perfect afternoon summer snack to have. As you walk in, you are immediately greeted and undecided because of all the delicious pictures of the options they provide for their spaghetti gelato, which they can also make milkshakes. They have so many different options and you are able to build you own as well. Normally I can't ever finish a small scoop of ice cream but this gelato ice cream it's unique and delicious. I personally prefer that it doesn't feel like too much sugar yet it holds the flavor enough for you to enjoy. Our cashier was very friendly and we decided on the Ferrero rocher, Cheesecake, and peanut butter jelly. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them however we went with what our favorite sweet treats are and we were not disappointed. I would definitely have them again or explore others. It was very easy to find, they have a few tables inside to enjoy your gelato, some seating outside as well. Restroom very clean and spacious. Decent amount of parking available in the plaza. They accept all major CC's and the price is reasonable. We will definitely come back again!

It absolutely amazes me how delicious these chocolates are and I wish I lived closer to this place,…read morebut if I did, I think I would go broke from how often I would be showing up to this place! Honestly, probably twice a week, at a minimum! It is easy to find once you are in the plaza and there is a nice amount of parking so you don't need to hunt for any! Along with nice parking, the staff at this location is wonderful and the interior is absolutely stunning! I haven't tried anything other than there chocolates, but they have many different drinks and little foods you can nibble on while you are sitting in there! My latest trip here, I decided to order a box of three chocolates and they consisted of my choices of a cherry pie, mimosa and a shot in the dark truffle. The flavors are out of this world and usually when I try mimosa flavored things, they tend to be overpowering but this one is nailing it every time I am here, knocking me back with how amazing the flavor is! The other two flavors were heavenly as well and I can't stress how amazing they were as well! The chocolates are a little pricey because it is a boutique and small batch style chocolate place, however the price is justifiable because of how amazing the flavors of these chocolates are!

I absolutely love chocolate so I'm glad I came across this place!…read more I ended up ordering a mini box of 3 chocolates. The box had Mimosa, Cherry Pie and shot in the dark Coffee Truffle. These chocolates were stunning to look at as well as their other desserts. I just had to try the mimosa and despite not being a huge fan of white chocolate (usually hit or miss for me) their white chocolate was definitely a hit! I loved how creamy the chocolate was and while eating it you get a tang of an orange flavor. The Cherry Pie was interesting as it was extremely sweet but in a good way! The dark chocolate is delightfully rich. Lastly, was the Shot in The Dark Coffee Truffle. This was possibly my favorite. If you're a fan of coffee ice cream it tastes like that in a rich chocolate form! I know next time I'm buying more of those. The actual store is spacious and extremely clean and wonderfully organized. The chocolates here are delicious at great prices. I will be coming back for a bigger box next time.

Delicious! Must stop for a treat in Downtown Fort Myers…read more We got a sampler pack of 6 different macarons, and each were amazing. I especially loved pistachio, lemon cream, and praline! They make chocolates as well, intricate truffles and other options like chocolate cigars and chocolate lipstick. You can also get coffee and gelato here. Not a ton of seating inside, but a few tables and minimal, European-style decor. This would be a great spot for a sweet bite after dinner, or to pick up something for a gift!

A long time fan of Love Boat ice cream, I am embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Pinocchio's…read moreuntil we stumbled upon their Fort Myers location tonight while looking for an ice cream shop in the area. We were drawn in by the promise of unique homemade flavors, and Pinocchio's did not disappoint. We settled on the Gator Stew (vanilla based ice cream with pistachio, chunky peanut butter and Reese's PB cups), Wedding Bells (Italian almond wedding cake), and Dirty Sand Dollar (vanilla ice cream with caramel, malted milk balls, and chocolate chunks). The ice cream was very flavorful, especially Wedding Bells, which had more almond flavor than anything almond I've ever tried. The portions are also huge. We both ordered the piccolo (2 scoops) and were rewarded with leaning towers of creamy goodness -- see attached photos. The employees were friendly and the shop, including the restroom, was very clean. Lots of parking in the shopping center. Next visit, I'd love to try Pinocchio's delicious-looking ice cream sandwiches, homemade cookies, or their half milkshake-half sundae (mainly to see how that is even possible). Run don't walk to Pinocchio's!

* Update- for some reason I can not respond or react to Donna's reply…read more Donna, thank you for the response and input. I was not aware requests could be made. Each time I have mentioned being disappointed no Bday cake was available, no one has mentioned this as an option, and actually tonight, I was told by one of the young ladies that in the 6months she has worked here, she has not seen Birthday cake as an option . PS- there are always lots of options/flavors (sadly nothing that compares to bday cake IMO) and the service is always great, so even though I choose not to get anything on these occasions when birthday cake is not available, my family still proceeds to get their favorites. So disappointing! We are from Indianapolis and our daughter lives in Bonita- we make it a point to come here everytime we visit (which is often)- twice now in April (the first week and this week) we have came here and no birthday cake ice cream! Parrots nest is NOT the same! Birthday cake has literally has been my absolute favorite since coming here in 2020!

This New York style Italian restaurant is located in the heart of downtown for Fort Myers…read more This is a great spot for elevated dinning or birthdays. I had the fiocchi alla bianca which was filling, and it should pasta the purses with pear, cheese, mushroom shallots, and a light cream sauce. It was absolutely delicious, filling and I added grilled chicken. Not pictured were the extremely tasty meatball special topped with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmigiano. The only thing is that they were only three meatballs and they are quite small, so I would order 2 for a larger party. Service was great, I love that they replaced plates and silverware and we're super helpful when asked for recommendations. I also ordered a classic espresso martini which was one of the best I've had in Fort Myers. It's a little pricey, so it'll be prepared to spend.

I struggle to write this review as years have gone on I realize I stopped having enough good…read moresurprises or meals to write good reviews and realize I seem to only write negative reviews - and I said I'm done, but this Birthday celebration for a dear friend warranted one. We sent back a meatball appetizer as they were dry and could barely be cut (ended up on bill anyway). We objected to the tough as the tongue of a leather boot veal parmigiana - ate one bite, raised concerns and charged anyway, the broccoli rabe was so bitter (an Italian knows that only can be cooked out with time and so was a careless oversight, yet despite my concerns I was charged as welll. We were also charged for a $158 Barolo wine off the tab.... though id ordered a $50 Chianti Classico Reserva. If you know or actually care about Italian food you will know this is the most over priced scam in town - run, far away if you read this! Terra Nostra would serve you better in any and every aspect and hasn't ever messed up yet alone messed up everything you order. I only mention them as they would meet the same person with an honest and exceptional meal and for much less! SKIP! I hate to laugh, but the manager after 30 minutes found time after being requested and after establishing we were from simliar areas in an Italian heavy "Major city" that "yes, they don't do that right" and " yes, I remember my mom did it differently and avoided those issues" .... Just saying, and she knew her back home Italian. The only thing about Bruno's of "Brooklyn" is they'd be laughed out of brooklyn and Long Island! I lived over there too, save money, time and waiting 30 minutes for a manager who agree they cook sub par stuff momma wouldn't and still charge you nonetheless! I swear I was done writing negative reviews, but damn. I hate to, but here we are!
