CAFFE TOSCANO – Italian
A small Tuscan room off McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers, open evenings Tuesday through Saturday and closed through the summer season. The cooking is regional and unhurried: ribollita soup, crostini di fegatini with house-made chicken liver pate, pecorino toscano baked with walnuts and Italian honey, carpaccio di filetto dressed with Primolio. Pasta means pappardelle Bolognese, gnocchi al tartufo nero in mascarpone, black-ink spaghetti with octopus, two house-made sausages with fettuccine. Secondi bring spezzatino fiorentino braised in Chianti Classico and lamb shank in Morellino di Scansano. Tuscan wines by the glass. Small, seasonal, and serious about the region it cooks from.
