I was glad they were open and there was room enough for us to eat. Dave started with a Caesar Salad then ordered the Veal MichaelAngelo. Tender Veal, shrimp, scallops and clams in a tomato cream sauce with angle hair pasta. I tasted this magnificent dish snd it was extraordinary! I had the Chicken Marsala which was covered with mushrooms in a tasty wine sauce. The roasted potatoes were buttery delicious. There were two large pieces of delicately pounded sautéed chicken and I had enough to bring home a doggie bag. Mark was our helpful server and I asked him for a cappuccino. He brought me a lovely cappuccinos topped with homemade whipped cream and that really made my day! What a great way to end our day!

I was…read moreunsure of the place pulling up to be honest... it's in what seems like an abandoned strip mall. But as soon as we walked it, the ambiance was quaint and had a charm to it! The staff were all great . We got the escargot to start and it was yummy but I prefer them to be served in the shell. Both my husband and I enjoyed our main courses. My husband's came with a small bowl of pasta with sauce on side which he said just tasted bland and did not care for. The dessert - tiramisu, was good. I am not usually one for biscotti but did actually like the one served with my espresso. I wish there was a full bar.

They knew it was for a birthday so we brought cupcakes for the birthday girl and the hostess or one of the front girls said that there would be a cake fee of $2 PER PERSON! Ive never heard of that at any restaurant, ive heard of Á fee but never per person. They should have said it when I made the reservation online and when I called in. of course we're not going to bring the cake back home! so since it's 12 people it's 24$ for them NOT to sing to us or cut any cake.... the bread they gave us was also stale so we asked for them to give us fresh bread, they just warmed up the bread and gave it to us stale. will never come back to this location !

We have FINALLY found delicious Italian food in Cape Coral! I wish we found Trattoria Ciao sooner!…read moreThe ambience was absolutely beautiful. There was so much to look at from the textured ceilings, to the wood fire that cooked the pizzas, to the portraits in different frames. But the FOOD was DIVINE! Being from NJ and NYC, it's hard to find impressive Italian food in SWFL, but Trattoria Ciao really aced the test! All of the ingredients were simple and extremely high quality to make the freshest dishes possible. And the service was also amazing. Here's what we ordered: ~Woodfired Prosciutto and burrata- EVOO, fresh mozzarella, arugula, post-oven prosciutto, balsamic glaze, whole burrata. This was easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and let me remind you, I'm from up north. The ingredients were beyond fresh and the dough was a star. It had a slight smoky taste from the wood fire and it was perfectly cooked and chewy. And despite all of the toppings, it all stayed together. YOU MUST TRY THEIR PIZZA!! ~Pork Chop-bone-in and wood fire roasted with fingerling potatoes, asparagus, Calabrian chili butter. This was hands-down, the best pork chop we have ever had. Seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection, it was so thick and juicy and an absolute must-order. I can't recommend this dish enough. ~Short rib lasagna- fresh house-made pasta layered with braised beef short rib ragu and creamy bechamel sauce. This dish was so rich, but oh so delicious! The short rib was so tender and the bechamel so creamy. ~Chicken parmigiana-hand-breaded chicken breast; baked with marinara and fresh mozzarella over angel hair. Their marinara sauce is truly next-level! ~Cannolis with hints of orange zest and shaved chocolate ~Tiramisu Head over to here for exceptional Italian cuisine, pizza, service, and ambience. We can't wait to go back!

Plenty of parking available in the private lot. Upon entry we were greeted and immediately seated at our table. Water and menus were quickly brought to our table. Bread & butter soon followed. Our waiter then disappeared for awhile. Although attentive , service was a little slow. It was a Saturday Night however. The interior of the restaurant had murals painted on the walls. Scenes of Italy accented by the maître d' who spoke with an Italian accent. Nice touch of authenticity. The tables had White table linen and the restaurant was divided into two parts with a wall filled with wine bottles dividing the place in two. Also there were side private party rooms to accommodate 8-10 people. Those can be reserved in advance. Our orders were taken and our food was delivered to our table some 20-25 minutes later. I ordered the Stuffed Shrimp Neptune. It was delicious. The food was good , we all agreed and the ambience was lovely , with a touch of elegance. Upon learning we had a birthday girl at our table our waiter and his fellow waiters gathered around our table to sing happy birthday to the birthday girl. She LOVED it. Her face lit up like a 12 year old , ahem , ok , she's 39 , again lol. We liked this place. It deserves a return visit. Good food , ambiance with free parking. Arrivederci , we will be back

It's super easy to miss this restaurant as it's located in the industrial part of Cape Coral but you don't want to miss out.

I love the flavor, the crust was nice and crunchy, the sauce was delish, it overall was great, it left a great impression on us. We came after lunch and a lot of their items where sold out.

I am so sad to hear of new ownership coming, as Misto is phenomenal. They aren't sure what the new name or concept will be. Misto is SO SO GOOD. I can't say anything bad about it. One FYI: they charge 3.98% to run your card (it doesn't really break the bank). If you use cash, you get 5% off the bill. Who knows if this will be in effect with new owners. I have never tasted bread like this before. It is a super soft roll with garlic and butter, and it's served with olive tapenade and mashed garlic on the side. Fantastic. At the table we had the Veal Misto, tomato basil pasta with meatballs, and chicken cordon bleu (special of the night). Everything was delish! The desserts are made fresh in-house. At the table we got the coconut cream pie and turtle cheesecake. Like everything else at the table, it was all phenomenal! I highly recommend you come in and try Misto while it's still Misto!
