We went as a family during the coldest night in Florida in years and my father in law was told to remove his hat while seated. This place is far from a fine diningrestaurant and we have gone to many and never experienced anything like it. Perhaps the chef prepares everything low in salt andgrease but everything we ordered was tasteless. The risotto was the worst ever and had no cheese. The oldest person thatwelcomes you had a very bad attitude and kept interrupting us while eating and it felt as if they were watching everything wewere doing. The prices are high for what they offer and the quality of food is very poor. To resume, if you are used to godining to high end places, don’t waste your time and money there, I’m sure there are many other options and even fast foodplaces would be a better choice.

My first time there, and I love Italian, and what a great disappointment!..I ordered the Special, Grouper w/ scalloped potatoes, Veg. $42.00, and I was shocked ! I'll spare the details, I told the waiter how terrible it was..They werekind enough to take it off our bill..No, I wont ever be back there again..

The owner greeted our table and it was a delight to talk with him about his passion for Italian cuisine,the different regions in Italy, and his love for the community here in Estero. We will definitely be back again. I highlyrecommend Ristorante Farfalla for the delicious Italian food and the charming dining experience!

E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y overcrowded dining area with tables no more than inches apart. So crowded and so loud my wife and I could not have a conversation. Then our server,Michael, was very late coming to greet us, never told us about specials (but he did later for other tables around us), deliveredour appetizer 30 minutes after we ordered it and then rushed our entrees soon thereafter. My wife ordered the salmon well doneand it came nearly raw and needed to be sent back. My pasta was very much under-cooked as well! Obviously the kitchen doesn 'tknow how to cook properly. Then the prices were high but surprisingly the food had decent flavor. But with everything elsethey ruined on our first impression, there won 't be a second chance. I think you can do better at another fine dining ItalianRestaurant.
