Not a bad white pizza, BUT, very noisy. Ask for Renegreat waitperson. Tuesdays are half price pizzas.

Good food good service. Music can be a little loud some nites.
Great little local restaurant & bar. They have 2 for 1 drink specials, sports on TV's, great Italian food, pizza, amazing Caesar salad, garlic knots, and a full bar. Live music, karaoke, also.
I came here out of sheer curiosity on a Monday after a workshop at the nearby Southwest Florida Community Foundation. I was definitely in for a pleasant experience.
The atmosphere is warm and give off the vibe of a restaurant well-established in the community. Rich wood and gentle light grace the interior. It's not fancy, but it feels more elegant than most more modern restaurants and pubs, and that's what you've got. A really great Italian restaurant and pub.
I was treated to great service. The food was wonderful from start to finish. I ate some amazing Italian wedding soup and given a sample of their pasta fazool. Main course was perfectly prepared chicken fettuccini alfredo with a couple of golden brown garlic rolls only just brushed with garlic butter and herbs. The flavor was spot on, but I added a bit of red pepper and salt due to my own preferences. I was given a sample of their lemon Italian ice to cap it all off and enjoyed conversation at the bar.
If you're looking for authentic Italian in the College Parkway area of Fort Myers, then I can't recommend enough, dump the corporate stuff nearby, and give this restaurant a try.
Good food, good drinks, live band on a Saturday night!
I noticed a couple of negative reviews at the top and I honestly would disregard. That's unfortunate that they had such negative experiences because I always have a great experience when I am here. The pizza never disappoints and the servers and bartenders are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is fun and laid back. Hands down best karaoke in town! The host is always accomodating and it seems like every other singer is professional level! There is a reason this place has been around for so long and does such good business! Good food, good atmosphere, good people..what more can you ask for? Highly recommend!
It's hard for me to rate any place low, because I used to work in the service industry, and I know disgruntled customers write in more frequently than a happy customer. We were pleasant the entire time, acted nicely towards our waitress, and overall did not voice our displeasures.
That being said, here's the deal: my girlfriend and I came in on Sunday to eat dinner and she was also trying out as a backup singer for a band by singing some karaoke, which is supposed to start at 9. We arrived at 830.
We ordered drinks and the mozz cheese stick appetizers. It didn't take long for the drinks to come out, but my girlfriends mixed drink was the incorrect drink. She was nervous for her audition and drank it anyways.
As we were sitting there talking, a different waitress came up with our entrees and the appetizer at the same time, and noticed we hadn't been plated silverware (we didn't notice. Not a big deal.) They apologized for everything coming out at the same time.
The Mozz Cheese Sticks tasted like old oil was used. The $16 Fettuccini Alfredo tasted just like the frozen re-heated Alfredo that the restaurant I used to work at used. My girlfriend's dish was fine.
Then came karaoke. The DJ had a new PC, and it wasn't working with the system, so he had to leave to get his old PC. Karaoke didn't start until 1040 and the song selection was limited because it was running on an old system.
My girlfriend asked if she could be somewhere near the top, because the bandmembers she was trying out for had to leave. Had to be up early. The DJ said he'd try to help out. He let three people go, a family of four go, took a 15 minute break, and then let another person go, before letting her up. The bandmembers left before the family of four went up, and she sang and I recorded her.
I realize not all experiences are going to be like this, but so many wrongs. Holy cow!
One really couldn't ask for a better mom and pop pizza place. Everything made from scratch, friendly staff.
I went to check out the new Mona Lisa with the old new owners. I go in and there was a party in the dining room with kids going bananas. Found out later that it was the owners family. Couldn't talk to my son across the table. I ordered eggplant parmesan app. and 2 pizzas. The eggplant parmesan was delicious! The pizzas however, were very undercooked and I told the waitress. She told me I should have asked for it to be put back in. The bottom of the crust had no browning on it whatsoever and was as elastic as the cheese. We were the only other table, and feel like if it was that bad it should have never made it to my table. It was a real letdown after the delicious parmesan.

Friendly staff. Nice cheap pizza by the slice. Nice red wines
Lively weekend crowds show up for the karaoke. Worthwhile as well for the drink specials and great food. Staff is prompt and does a good job juggling the college-aged rushes.
Out of towners here, ready liked this place!
Terrific food and service, karaoke on Tuesday night was great! Pizza awesome, sink specials, half price pizza, just a wonderful perfect place to find on our trip!
