Bratta's Ristorante

A very nice place with good food and drinks.  Best of all, an actual dance floor and live music.  We go here everytime we are in Ft Myers (2 - 3 times a year) for the music and dancing.

Service is terrible.  Waiter took our order, brought our drinks & bread, someone else brought our food & someone else cleared table (quite a bit of food still on plate).  Kept looking for our waiter to 1st get another drink & finally to get our bill.  About 10 mins after we had finished eating he showed up & said your food will be right out.  We had to tell him we had already eaten, we just needed our bill, he said OK, no apology.  Coffee & dessert would have been nice, but he was never around to offer either or check on us.  Won't recommend or be back.  Oh we are full time residents, not seasonal!!!!!!!

My mother came into town late one night, so I called ahead to see if we could still get dinner although it was very late and they were about to close. The owner said he would hold the chef for us. We showed up and was waited on by a wonderful server who attended our every need. We had salmon salad and scallops. The food was wonderful, tasted very fresh and not late night food, you know like at the end of the night when everyone is tired and wants to go home. We returned another night so my mom could hear the jazz music. She was very impressed and loved every moment. Once again the food was amazing. I love the bread and fresh garlic cloves with olive oil and spices, very mild..this could become addicting. O! I should note that on the first visit which was in November for dessert they had featuring a pumpkin chessecake which was made from scratch. You could taste the pumpkin, it was too die for. Once again something that could be addicting. However, that is a seasonal dessert is not on the menu. The staff is very good at upselling, so enjoy the experience, the music and meet the owners. You wont be disappointed.
