Molino's - Bonita Springs

Wonderful Italian food, home cooking style. hearty portions also. love our waitress, essi, just a joy!

We celebrated a special night with friends. the food was wonderful and the service exceptional. the outside heating loved the evening cool. will definitely return.

Good food, great wine selection, good service and never rushed.

Eating here is delicious and well presented. we were a table of four and each of us loved our dishes. beautiful also to see tablecloths! would definitely come back!

We were pleasantly surprised and delighted that our favorite table was available, so we anticipated a pleasant dining experience. NOT! We each ordered the tri colore salad, while my wife ordered the sea bass and I ordered the branzino. I also ordered a bottle of white wine and emphasized to our server that we like our white very cold. The salads came, overly drenched in dressing. My wife 's sea bass was prepared correctly, but the winter vegetables were swimming in sauce and overpowered the fish. My branzino was also prepared correctly, but it was NOT served in a broth as noted on the menu. The branzino sauce was so thick that it would have been an excellent sauce, had I ordered pasta. Now to the wine.. it was presented chilled, but our server left the bottle on the table instead of putting it into a wine cooler or ice bucket. She also failed to pour additional wine into our glasses. Perhaps she was not properly trained on serving white wines. To try to salvage the evening, we ordered cheesecake and coffee. The cheesecake, nowhere near the quality of Junior 's in Brooklyn, was frozen, so we had cheesecake ice cream . This was the most underwhelming dining experience that we have ever had at Molino 's or any other area restaurant. With so many excellent restaurants in the area, it is highly unlikely that we will return.
