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!

Farfalla is a beautiful little hidden gem at the end of a strip mall in Estero. We’ve been dining there for years - they never disappoint. Fresh homemade pasta, elegant veal & other meat & seafood dishes are 100% delicious. Service is efficient & friendly.

We ate at Ristorante Farfalla on New Year’s Eve. Restaurant was busy but well staffed. The food was excellent, as always. We even enjoyed dessert this time!

Farfalle is always great Italian fare. We were there on NYE, so they were not serving their full menu. Even so, the lobster ravioli in blush sauce was excellent. Chef Michael always turns in a great performance

Experienced on Christmas day, so cut down menu and very busy. Service team did really well to turn over tables and stay attentive to diners. Food was a little bland (not sure if due to high volume or if it was the 'house style') but still hot, pleasant enough to eat and very welcome on a day when the alternative was 7/11. Would definitely try again on full menu and 'normal' service.

The food was awesome unfortunately the service was terrible. Our server basically ignored us. We had to ask for everything then when the bill came he charged us for large glasses of wine but when he took the order he never asked what size we wanted then argued with us. Terrible staff!

The Christmas menu was extensive with great variety. This is a top notch restaurant and the food rivals any other great restaurant in SWFL. Great value, great food, good service, good ambience.
