- SStevenVIPSouthwest Florida •24 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoYet another wonderful dinner and evening at San Matteo! Our table started with the Fiori di Zucca (fried Zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella) and a Caprese salad. Both were delicious. My usual Rosso di Montalcino wine was out of stock however the bar suggested an alternative which the table loved! My friend had the Pappardelle Bolognese (beef and veal Ragu), I had the Paccheri alla Genovese (Veal and Onion Braised Ragu, Parmigiano, basil), and my wife had her usual Neapolitan-style Margherita pizza. Other than bringing home half the pizza, our plates were clean!!! I forget what the other couple had for dessert but my wife and I enjoyed the Torta Panarea (pistachio biscuit stuffed with cream of ricotta and vanilla and creamy pistachio). As the evening drew to a close, Executive Chef and co-owner Giuseppe Manco stopped by our table. We praised the authentic Italian dishes that we enjoyed and finished off the evening with a Crema di Limoncello. Having visited Italy on numerous occasions and most recently Napoli and the Amalfi Coast, San Matteo is the real deal.More infoSan Matteo Italian Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Miromar Lakes•4.6
