The story
Just minutes from the Barbara B. Mann theater, Mastello Ristorante & Steakhouse has undergone a full refresh, with newly revamped interior and exterior dining spaces. The result is a setting that balances modern comfort with the warmth of traditional Italian hospitality—a place where you can settle in for a leisurely evening of fine food and drink.
The restaurant’s wine program earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024, a testament to its curated selection of over 100 wines. For those who prefer something stirred or shaken, the stylish cocktail bar specializes in a wide variety of Old Fashioneds and Espresso Martinis, and the after-dinner list is stocked with sipping Bourbons and trending Tequilas.
Mastello’s kitchen brings together two traditions: the precision of a classic Italian ristorante and the boldness of a modern steakhouse. Expect prime cuts, American Wagyu, and fine-aged meats, alongside seafood offerings that range from raw bar items to a well-executed Risotto di Mare. Standout dishes like Rigatoni Burrata and a cold seafood tower give a sense of the kitchen’s range. Whether you come for the steak or the pasta, the focus is on clean, confident cooking that lets the ingredients speak.
Open nightly from 4 to 10 PM, Mastello is a relaxed yet refined destination for Italian and steakhouse dining in Fort Myers.
