    Spumoni dessert!
    Massimo B.

    Highly Recommended. Excellent food (and presentation). Welcoming and incredible staff. Wonderful ambience. Never rushed. My wife and I totally enjoy dining at The Boulevard while vacationing on Marco Island. We make sure to dine here each time we visit the island. The main menu offers many good choices, but also check out the daily specials (appetizers, main entrees, and desserts). Kudos to owners Bianca and Edgar (chef), our server Nellie, and the rest of the team... this trip we had a couple fabulous dinner/evenings including specials of soup (chicken noodle), entrees (bone-in stuffed veal chop and lasagna), and a spumoni special dessert (picture attached). Can't wait to return...

    Linguini Marinara

    I went to The Boulevard for my first time last night and it was truly a wonderful experience. We ordered wine for the table and for my meal, I ordered the Linguini Marinara with meatballs on the side as I am vegetarian. The pasta was cooked perfectly and it was very tasty. My fiancé said he enjoyed the meatballs as well. Although I really enjoyed my meal, I want to call out that my service was what really took the cake for me. Our waitress, Nell, was one of the best I've ever experienced - she was so welcoming, out of this world kind, and willing to do whatever she could to give us a good experience. Several time throughout our meal when we asked about modifications, she said "absolutely - anything for you" which wasn't at all necessary but absolutely appreciated. Nell took our meal from great to exceptional and I truly can't say enough good things. Thank you for an awesome first experience and we cannot wait to come back! Special thanks to Nell!

    Wonderful servers! Excellent frutti di mare. The servers kept my 1 year old entertained and Nelly even made him a paper boat.

    Pasta e Fagioli

    Great night at the Boulevard where we had a lovely Italian dinner while on vacation on Marco Island. Our amazing waitress, Gina thoroughly entertained us with her knowledge of the food and area since she lived around the corner and had been working here for the past 8 years. She advised us on the best entrees to order on the menu. To start, a warmed crusty bread basket was brought to the table gratis and we had the calamari appetizer. All the entrées did come with a salad or soup. I enjoyed the pasta e fagioli and the sausage and peppers entree with enough leftover for another meal. Paul had the lamb chops and our friends had the barramundi entrees. We did indulge in the NY style cheesecake and decaf cappuccino. Everything was delicious and fairly priced. This is a traditional white tablecloth venue - just lovely and classic. We were there at 7:30 and it was very quiet. It was surprising but the seasonal crowd is expected to arrive within the next month or so. I am sure this place will be hopping then. We are so happy we chose The Boulevard for one of dinners. We will be sure to return on our next vacay here.

    This is one of the better restaurants on Marco Island. Located in a strip mall on Collier Blvd it is easy to overlook. The dining room is pleasant with a good number of outdoor tables as well (adjacent to the parking lot however). We had a very enjoyable meal with great food and service. The menu is diverse and we were further surprised with how many additional appetizer and entree specials offered in addition to the menu. We thought the portions were large and fairly priced, especially when compared to some other venues on the island. The menu leans strongly Italian with some classic dishes as well as a few with a twist. We completely enjoyed an old school veal parmesan over pasta, but there are modern creative dishes as well. The only negatives here for us is that they don't have a full liquor license and only serve beer and wine. Additionally, the parking lot is not big enough for the restaurant. It is tight, with many "compact" only spots and there are cars everywhere trying to figure out where to park and trying to back up etc... Do yourself a favor and park somewhere else, anywhere else and walk over. Don't use their parking lot! Plenty of talent in the kitchen and a very hard working and friendly staff. Give this restaurant a shot!

    Is it a Byob?

    The Boulevard has an extensive wine selection and craft beer.

    What is the attire?

    It's a resort town so anything from nice shorts and camp shirts to dresses and sport coats is fine. It's a medium high end place so you don't want to go down the line too far like beachwear but they also want attract tourists.…

The staff was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was vibrant yet upscale. We started off with complementary bread with an oil (& something paste - I didn't catch the name) which was excellent.

All entrées come with a house salad or you can do an upgrade to a Caesar. I chose the house salad that comes with balsamic vinaigrette. Very well put together, light and refreshing. The Cernia Alla Pescatore was very flavorful and everything was cook to perfection.

After my experience on Thursday, February 12th, that's over. At 6:05 PM, I placed a small online order (mozzarella sticks, a calzone, and a sandwich) through their website, as I always do. Estimated pickup: 29 to 34 minutes. I arrived at 6:41 with my wife and kids in the car. Food wasn't ready, but "five more minutes." Fine. Five turned into twenty. Twenty turned into forty. During that time, I watched the staff take phone orders and quote every customer "20 to 25 minutes," no matter the order size. When I asked what the holdup was, the staff, who were genuinely doing their best, explained that new kitchen staff were struggling. My son was starving, so I left to grab him food elsewhere and came back about 30 minutes later, confident my order would be waiting. It wasn't. At 7:35 PM, ninety minutes after placing a three-item order, nothing was ready. I asked the staff why they were still quoting 20-minute turnarounds when the reality was 90+ minutes. I suggested they pause online ordering to let the kitchen recover. They told me the owner, Jared Grifoni, has instructed them to keep online orders on and to continue telling customers 20 minutes, despite knowing the kitchen is nowhere close to meeting that timeline. That's not a bad night. That's a policy decision to mislead customers for the sake of revenue. I requested a refund. As it was being processed, two of my three items finally came out. When the staff asked the kitchen about the last item, the answer was: "I have no idea when we'll get to that." I left at 7:46 PM, one hour and forty-one minutes after ordering. To be clear: the staff on the floor that night are not to blame. They were put in a no-win situation and handled it as well as anyone could. The issue is ownership making a conscious choice to overload the kitchen, deceive customers about wait times, and let the staff absorb the fallout. When I arrived, the restaurant was nearly full. When I left, it was almost empty. I won't be adding myself to either count again.

Wish we ordered another one as it wasn't enough for us (4 people). As this was a take out order, there was a big issue. The app gave options to add for an order. I ordered a spaghetti marina and thought I "added" garlic and oil. But when we received the order, it was just pasta, garlic and oil. Wtf?! Why the heck would anyone order a spaghetti and only want garlic and oil? The option was NOT clear. I thought it was in ADDITION to. So for $20 I got pasta and garlic and oil. No marinara. It's NOT spaghetti! This was a take out order so the experience might not be the same if you eat at the restaurant. UPDATE: The owner, Sami, called me the next day to apologize for the mixup and offered to replacement. Within 30 min I received a still hot spaghetti the way it's supposed to be. Not only that, he added some dessert. As a business person myself, I understand mistakes happen. But when the issue is rectified, it's a testament to the values of the restaurant. The spaghetti was delicious! Not only the food is delicious, but awesome customer service. I can imagine how good the service would be if we ate at the restaurant. Highly recommend.
