On the other hand, my personal experience is a hit and missed at Fort Myers. Many times, staff are helpful and direct us to the proper location inside the store in this location.

It's not a place with a huge parking lot where you can just pop in and out quickly. That said, it's a teensy little shop with a really fun selection of wines. The business is run by a mother and daughter, which makes it feel extra cute and personal. She let us sample as many wines as we wanted, which was great. We ended up buying two bottles... the Hurricane (one of their most popular) and a more expensive bottle that was a port wine. (Flamingo fling) I also loved the gift selection ideas they had for wine lovers. Overall, for being in such a touristy area, the prices felt totally fair and the experience was really enjoyable.

The private event began with sparkling Prosecco and quickly evolved into a delightful culinary experience. We crafted a decadent tiramisu infused with limoncello and learned the art of handmade pasta from scratch. While the kitchen staff prepared our meal, we savored an array of exquisite appetizers and indulged in generous wine pairings. The evening was enhanced by the owner's live guitar performance of traditional Italian melodies, creating an authentic atmosphere. We gained fascinating insights into their olive oil production and learned about their unique olive and grape harvesting tours. This charming Sarasota establishment truly captures the essence of Italian culture and hospitality. The staff, particularly store manager Amy, were exceptional hosts. We were so impressed that we're already planning to attend another class and are inspired to book a future trip to Italy through their organization. Mazzone Olive Oil has undoubtedly become our new favorite local culinary destination.

This…read morewas my second time going to the Pineapple Kitchen, I had previously gone for a charcuterie class. Which was 10/10, so I had high expectations for the Murder Mystery Dinner. Overall, it was a nice time. We did a private buy out so it was only our group of 18. For the price the Pineapple Kitchen fell a little short. Since it was our private group and my birthday I requested a chocolate peanutbutter cake as dessert. I offered to bring my own in, Jenny (the owner) said their pastry chef could make it for us. Great, it's my favorite and it is my birthday after all. We got carrot cake instead. Jenny, apologized about the mix up but didn't offer anything to off set the disappointment for me, she did say she wouldn't charge us for the cake but the dessert was included with our $90/per person and she never mentioned an up charge for a custom dessert request. She could have cared less that my birthday dessert was a disappointment. They also double booked us so we were asked to push our 6:30 dinner to either 4:30pm or 8pm. I had the mahi wasn't palatable IMO, but the chicken was excellent (I had a bite of my friends). The dressing on the salad was okay; I wouldn't get it again.
