    Another excellent meal for our party of six. Hostess gave our anniversary couple a card good for a free appetizer the next time they visit. A nice touch. Would recommend for a very good Italian meal.

    I am always blown away by the great food that we experience at Angelina’s. What a gem in the SW Florida area. The halibut was outstanding and the meatballs as an app was exceptional. Our server was super knowledgeable on the wine selection and provided us with individual recommendations based on our description of what we were looking for.

    We haven’t been to Farfalla in a year or so, and this visit encourages us to dine there more frequently. Everything was wonderful! A very comfortable setting, and decent prices, including a huge wine selection. My wife had the special spinach salad to start, and I enjoyed the Stratchiatella (spinach soup.) The entrees were numerous! We both opted for veal (vitello,) hers a bone in chop, and mine a scallopini in Barolo sauce. Both were generous portions and simply delicious. Accompanying vegetables were also great, especially the scalloped potatoes. Truly a great dinner! Our server, Doug, was equally terrific: friendly, efficient, helpful, and great to talk to. He hails from my home state of New Jersey, as does the chef, and we shared old timey memories! We loved Farfalla, and will be back soon!
