About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

At Molino's Ristorante, owner and native Italian Kanuccio Purisico captivates diners with a menu of mouthwatering Northern Italian fare. Dishes of calamari fritti, and clams oreganato entice appetites, and burbling waterfalls beckon outdoors as patrons find themselves in sunny Adriatic here in beautiful Bonita Springs. Our culinary team dazzle guests with authentic dishes such as the lambata di vitello alla griglia, a grilled veal chop accessorized with hot cherry peppers and mushrooms, or the rollatine melanzane, ricotta cheese rolled into thinly sliced eggplant and topped with tomato sauce. For those searching for ocean-fresh seafood try our salmone onde e terra, a cut of broiled salmon luxuriously lounging in a rich cognac sauce with a posse of peas, prosciutto, and mushrooms.

Being going there for years and it’s always good service and good food. If you want something different they will make it for you, just tell your friendly waiter and he will try to accommodate you.

I was looking for someplace new to celebrate our anniversary and I’m glad we chose Molino’s. There are SO many restaurants to choose from and online reviews were mixed but wanted to find out for ourselves. I ordered the chicken piccata and I was very pleased with how tasty it was. My husband chose the veal chop which was a nice thick chop but was a little tough however had a lot of flavor and was cooked to his liking. We will definitely return.
