We ate there one night and went back a couple of nights later. On the first night I ordered the margarita pizza...that was a mistake as they don't prepare it right. What I got was a cheese pizza with pizza sauce and basil leaves. My husband on the other hand was very happy with his steak marsala. On the second... more

I went to Matzaluna on my trip to Sanibel. I had been there once before about 6 years ago and it was pretty good then so I expected as much during this trip. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but I was very disappointed. I had the eggplant parmesan. The eggplant consisted of two thin slices (very thin) between a... more

This was my first time at Matzaluna but it won't be my last! I started off the meal w/ the Mussels Matzaluna, wow! So fresh w/ just the right amount of broth and some bread to sop it up w/! I decided to have the bisque instead of a salad it was a good choice. Almost cheesy in it's creaminess... more

Ate here for salad and pizza. Nothing special - pizza was good but we probably could get better somewhere else. more

We visited Matzaluna for dinner tonight and left SO disappointed as well as $100.00 poorer. There were 5 of us in the party. 3 adults and 2 children. I had ravioli w/ bolognese sauce. The ravioli's were so dry. I couldn't figure out if it was the pasta or the cheese. I came to the conclusion it was definitely the... more

A very ordinary experience. Our service was pleasant, however non-attentive. Looked like her section was too big/busy. Food was disappointing. The Mozzarella sticks were frozen and deep fried, crab bisque was okay but tasted like nacho cheese soup with shrimp pieces. The lobster ravioli was far too salty - killed the delicate flavours of what should be a delicious dish,... more

After a week of fish and shrimp we definitely decided it was time for pasta and we weren't disappointed. A nice family style eatery, with a make your own pasta - pick sauce then pasta. We both had the meat sauce, different kinds of pasta both were wonderful. Not too crazy about the garlic spread they bring with the warm... more

Spent four days on Captiva with Under_Girl and in my pre-trip notes I had scribbled "Matzaluna - good pizza. Per: Granny's friend Pat." So what did I order on my ill-advised trip to Matzaluna? The Crab Bisque followed by a Chicken Parmesan of course. The bisque was an orange, I think garlicy, buttery mixture. It had the consistency of nacho... more

We loved our visit to Matzaluna. Nice selection of food, and all priced well....especially the kid's meals. Bread was excellent, as was the spaghetti/meatballs (kids) and the penne pomodoro pasta meal. Ambiance is great - nicely decorated, very friendly and helpful servers. Great meal! more

We were staying on Captiva and customarily ordered our pizza from the now gone Mama Rosa's. So, upon advice of another vacationer, we ordered from Matzaluna. We ordered a pizza per person and that was the right portion size. They were each excellent and though my favorite pizza had a lot of garlic, the heavy garlic turned off some of... more
