    If you're planning on coming here: MAKE RESERVATIONS 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE! We came here on a Sunday evening for dinner, with no reservations, and we ended up waiting over 90 minutes for an outside table (we had pets with us-pet friendly on the patio), but the inside was pretty packed that night also. They had live music outside on the patio (which was right on the water, so made for good views, and people-watching, especially on the dance floor) so the atmosphere was raucous (not the place for a quiet, Italian meal on the water) but good energy. I liked that the bar was separate from the dining experience outside (you can get drinks, without having a table first)-this was a must especially if you have a long wait for a table. The food: my wife had the Macadamia Nut Crusted Grouper, which she said was just okay. I had the Ravioli Squares appetizer (which are always a good find) and the Blackened Grouper, which I really enjoyed. The spices, flakiness and freshness of the fish really stood out. We both had the crispy potatoes medley as our side, and those were very tasty. I think, as long as you know what you're getting into going here (with the atmosphere, wait time, and (very) small parking lot), you can have a fun day or night out here.

    Dad wanted to go to Miceli’s for his 80th birthday to celebrate with the family. We wanted to make it special for him and Jamie, our server, did just that! She was so much fun and we had lots of laughs and she really made our experience enjoyable! The food was great but our service was fantastic and if you spend any time in restaurants you know that this is hard to find in today’s world. Thank you, Jamie! We truly appreciated you!

    If i want a calzone i will come back here for it...my whole group was happy with their grinder sandwiches and calzones....the clam chowder had good flavor but was watery and not chowder thick n creamy texture...staff friendly and it has a very nice tiki patio overlooking a water way...can drive your boat up to their docks for a bite to eat...but watch out! The menu is way overwhelming and very large!

    We stopped in for lunch. Let me start with, as you walk in the door, the staff is pleasant and acknowledge you right away. My wife and I both ordered the New England Clam Chowder and it was absolutely delicious. A touch of garlic makes everything better. Next, we ordered appetizers and entrees that we enjoyed very much. See photos in post. I'm a past restaurant owner and I appreciate good food and good service. Great staff comes from great owners. This place bleeds happy staff. Great job Miceli's

    This place is a waterfront restaurant in Pine Island with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor dining has a full bar with 5 tv's, and outdoor has a tiki bar with live entertainment. We had fried provolone wedges and hot wings. The breading on the cheese was nice and crisp, and the wings were very large and cooked perfectly. They also have raw oysters... $16 for 12! The front parking lot is ample and has handicap parking and a separate area for motorcycles only. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Great place, great food, and great atmosphere. Although it is classified as an Italian restaurant, they have other items not typically found at Italian restaurants such as wings that looked amazing. And the New England style clam chowder was the absolute best I've had, with tons of clams. The picture here is of Pasta ala Miceli - fra diablo style (spicy), very good & a lot of different seafood in it. The ahi tuna appetizer and shrimp scampi pasta were also fabulous. And happy hour until 7.

    Always a pleasure. We've been coming here for years and every single time....it's been perfect. A-z service, drinks, appetizers, entrees. Food fantastic all the way around. This is how a server gets a 30% tip.

    Great food. We pulled up on our boat, docked and had a great time. Live music, so much fun. The seafood was excellent, but you have to have a Miami Vice.

    Awesome restaurant, awesome food, great atmosphere, fantastic friendly wait staff, reasonable prices. What more needs to be said? They have some daily specials that are fabulous and reasonable such as two Taco plates on Tuesdays for $30. Three shrimp tacos tons of crispy and sweet quality onion rings instead of rice no extra charge. This will become a regular, especially since our house is only 10 minutes away by boat!! Please note I ate half the onion rings in the picture!

    This place is an amazing option if you are looking for good food, live music, and solid service! Our servers name was Steve (I think) and he was so great! Very quick, attentive, humorous! We had a side of onion rings - coconut shrimp - and a meatball stromboli - a couple of drinks from the bar. I would recommend all of these options. We are very impressed and will be coming back for sure!

    We enjoyed, beautiful waterside outdoor seating with great music by David Rojas. Great food with large serving sizes.

  • 5/5 Tobi R. 5 months ago on Google
    First time here and we were not disappointed! The pizza was AMAZING! You can taste that the ingredients on the pizza are fresh and high quality! My new favorite pizza place close to Cape Coral! Harley is simply an amazing server! He is thoughtful and patient with his guests! Harley is hands down the best server we have ever had at a restaurant. You can tell that he actually cares about his guests! We will be back for sure, and probably request his section! Haha!

    Had a great time here. We sat out near the water and watched the boats going by. Live music and good food. Beer was cold.

    We love Miceli’s! We go often. It’s friendly and casual indoors and outside dining. Food is fresh and always a good value. Specials and happy hours drinks! Locals and tourists alike love this place! And it is also boat in, fun to watch all the boats go by. Have also scene manatee! Very exciting!

    Birthday dinner at a place that was nearly wiped out last year in the hurricane, Miceli's in Matlacha (small town nearly destroyed) Dave had the seafood platter that was perfectly breaded and seasoned, I had the Pasta ala Micheli's w/fra diavolo sauce (what a great kick it had! and the fetticcini perfectly al dente). Choc cake was a birthday bonus along with $15 off entree for birthday meal. Our waiter, Steve, was a real pro and was a delight to chat with along with his eye on exceptional service. He works Weds, Thurs, Sat....ask for him, you won't be disappointed. ONE OF THE BEST MEALS EVER! Well, that one time in NYC in 1980....hahaha!

    A great restaurant with great bar and table service. Went here for a beer and cocktails. The mussels were delicious. The live music was enjoyable on the outside patio. The wait was quoted as 30 mins and was more like 10-15.

  • 4/5 Mary A. 1 year ago on Google
    Friend was visiting from Chicago and wanted to hear live music..Thunder Beach is always great and Miceli's also checked the box for dining al fresco. Food is fine, it's bar food..but not the pizza..drinks are good pours and the service is always friendly...highly recommend Miceli's for any celebration or just for dinner out with the hubby or friends.

    Absolutely love this place!! The view is beautiful and there is entertainment everyday. The staff is great and always there to make you happy. I had the Vinny Stromboli and my husband had the chicken parm grinder…. All I can is OMG!! It was amazing!!

    This was a great place to eat! We didnt spend much time inside because my husban was feeling very sick so we left. Our server packed up our food and was very nice. We enjoyed all of it. I did think the coconut fish was a bjt sweet but otherwise great!

  • 4/5 Ryan S. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed the fried calamari appetizer. My grouper sandwich was fine - a lot of bun, though, and the onion rings were lukewarm. She added a crab cake to her salad and it was equally fine but not amazing. Their margaritas were very good, though!

  • 5/5 Ona A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place for food and the island vibe. Indoor or outdoor seating with a boat ride at the pier if you so choose for a fee. I had a cheese burger and my hubby the spaghetti & meatballs. As an appetizer ordered a new item "lobster bites" it was all delicious.

  • 5/5 Rich M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here last Saturday with my cousin who was visiting and a good friend of one of the owners. Don't judge this review on that alone. The place was really busy, tells you that it is popular. The service and food was outstanding. The prices were definitely reasonable for the quality and amount of food. If your in the area or want a different experience please visit., you won't be disappointed.

    Came here on Valentine's Day in the early afternoon. The weather was chilly but we still chose to sit outside. They had all the sides coveted to help block the breeze and turned on the heaters as soon as we sat. The waitress was really nice for that area! I ordered the lobster and scallop Mac and Cheese and it was exquisite. The creamy sauce and the sweetness of the lobster kept me coming back for more. I got way more than I could eat so I shared some with the family and still had leftovers. My husband had the Mahi sandwich and was in heaven. The atmosphere provides that tropical Florida feel. They have what appears to be a giant connect-4 yard game, a lovely dock and water view across from what looks like a preserve and plenty of room for entertainment.

    I always make a point to stop in for the clam chowder. The shrimp tacos are great. Local place. They typically have a live music option outside. There is an option for indoor or outdoor seating. Service is pretty speedy and food is always tasty.
