Lamotta Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria Reviews | Fort Myers Restaurants & Bars

I ordered a veggie pizza, which I thought was vegetarian, it was not. It was however a pretty good pizza, once I had scraped off the meat. But that was my fault as well, I didn't ask if it was vegetarian. Â

This place is also seriously over priced. It is cute though.

my family and i went here after a day at the beach. i was excited to go because my uncle had been talking up this place throughout the day. well...im sorry to say even the natives (my uncle and aunt) were a bit disappointed. the wedding soup was good. the veal parm was over cooked. the marinara was a bit too salty. there was live music that day and leonardo was a hit. he was hysterical and had a great voice. molto bene, leo!

it was interesting to know that this place has a sister restaurant here in new york city. interesting to know how this one tastes.

until next time fort myers!

Fake tea... Always a bad sign. Â Everything is extremely expensive. Â Ordered the fettuccini Alfredo. Â Large, tasteless portion. Â Italian Wedding soup had been boiling all day and was a tasteless mush. Â Be careful what you order here.

We each had entrees, Bolognese and the Sicilian Trio (Manicotta, Ravioli, and Cannelloni).
Could not eat the Bolognese, tasted burnt or some strange taste. This is a definite one for Restaurant Impossible on the Food Channel! Don't spend the time or money going there.

We just ate here. Â Ordered glasses of house wine. Served in6 oz glass size. charged $6.00 per glass for cheap wine. Â Food was marginal! Very greasy. Â 2 entrees w/ a buy one Â get one free and still ended up with a bill for $63.00!! There are a lot better italian places and much better prices

My wife downloaded an online coupon before heading to Ft Myers for vacation. Â We got a take-out pizza that was still hot by the time we got back to our hotel. Â Crust was very good, and sauce was ok. Â Overall, a pretty good pizza, and with our coupon, a great price. Â Would return to try an entree next time we're in town.

We enjoyed our dinner here. The big draw, as it is for so many places in Fort Myers now, are the coupons (such as buy one, get one free), and we were no exception. This inducement brought us in.

We started with the Italian wedding soup and salad - both were quite nice. For dinner we had the Osso Bucco special and Veal Piccata, both with linguini. They were both decidedly above average and the pasta was al dente. Lovely.

The waitress was clearly Italian, perhaps an owner, and she was very nice. Â

The ambiance is just fine - sort of an upscale pizza parlor style, but with better that normal food.

We went to LaMotta's for the first time today... Despite a couple negatives, we liked this place a lot and will definitely go back soon. There were only two servers for what became a full house on Sunday night. That made it hard to get the server's attention, but she was confident, professional, and funny. Maybe it was the Italian accent... I dunno. =)

I had the Chicken Piccata, which was good but needed a little more zing for my taste. My wife had the Manicotti, which was outstanding! The sauce is a little sweet, just the way I like it. You get to choose soup or salad with your entree. My salad had iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, white onion, and carrots. The creamy Italian dressing had the kick I look for in all my food. Yum! My wife assured me that her Minestrone soup was very good. She remarked that, in addition to the normal stuff, it contained pasta and gnocchi! The bread served with our meals was good stuff! Not sure what to call them because they may or may not have had much garlic in it. I wasn't able to tell if it was just garlic powder or what, but it was tasty! And the texture was good too-- a little hard on the outside and kinda doughy on the inside. Good thing the service wasn't too good or I would have asked for another basket full! We ended the meal with a nice Tiramisu. I'm not a huge fan of the dish normally, but this was very good.

All in all, we really liked it. The restaurant was *definitely* filled with a lot of gray hairs, but that's Fort Myers for you. There were lots of people ordering pizzas, so we will either do that next time or go with another tomato sauce based entree. The sauce is great!

Unlike what it says on Google Maps, this place is open on the weekends. Sunday 3-9pm.
