Next Door

Absolutely fantastic experience. The food quality and taste is phenomenal, extremely well done. I have to say probably the best food in Cape Coral. I was just at Trulucks in Naples the day prior, and for a fraction of the cost Next Door blows the food out of the water. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

I came here about a month ago for my very first time and wow I have just moved from Miami to Cape Coral last year and have not yet found a restaurant that can top Miami restaurants and until I Visited next door restaurant . The restaurant is very cute, the atmosphere is great, and the service is better. Everyone is really attentive. We decided to get the chef choice and we did not regret it. Everything tasted amazing. We were able to try a lot of options, different wines and great desserts. The chef was Great she went to our table and brought our food and Went over each dish . The food was amazing!!!

The tuna and swordfish were excellent. My other half has to do gluten-free and she said the pasta was to die for. It’s hard to find gluten-free food that is as tasty as this. It seems a little intimidating going in for parking, but there is no charge to go into the Parking garage. They also have half price wine on Wednesday under $85. It is a small restaurant so making reservations is recommended.

This is always a great for a date or a get together! Great atmosphere. I think the menu has had its changes throughout the years, always good. It is pricey but you pay for the uniqueness.

Fantastic food! A real hidden gem in Cape Coral. My wife and I went for date night here and the whole experience was fantastic! I cannot recommend the food any higher! Everything we ate and was amazing! We did starters, main and the food was so good we tried some of their desserts too! Nothing disappointed! The service was great too! The atmosphere was really nice. Very intimate but a little more relaxed than you might expect based on the menu. Really wasn’t an intimidating place to eat that you might assume when you see fancier food on the menu! With a view of the marina and a nice stroll around it after! Seriously take your lady out for a nice meal and give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed!

One of the best meals I’ve had in my life, and I’ve had a lot of good meals. My only regret is not being hungrier so I could order more food. The small restaurant does an incredible job of offering unique dishes that would be hard to find elsewhere. Unlike some Italian restaurants where the food is limited or heavy, Next Door has plenty of variety in selection and is not confined by the word “Italian”. My scallops entree was delicious, tasted fresh and the ingredients really spoke for themselves. No heavy sauces or over seasoning. I don’t have a big sweet tooth and I’m so glad our server suggested the pistachio molten cake. It’s not overly sweet and unlike any dessert I’ve had before. The whipped ganache and gelato really knock it out of the park. I wish I could eat it every day. It’s so refreshing to visit a restaurant with amazing food and service while offering one-of-kind dishes. Reservations are encouraged since seating is limited, and you will not regret stopping in.

You should choose this restaurant if you’d like a meal that you can savor every bite, you can taste the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness of the hands that prepared each dish. This restaurant has a cozy, dim atmosphere that can be very romantic with a partner or perfect to unwind all by yourself. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, you can tell that they are like family, it feels comfortable as soon as you walk in. I could confidently recommend every single dish on their menu, none of them could disappoint. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is they give an amuse-bouche, that often changes but always leaves you wanted more. After dinner they give you a disgestif, which has usually been limoncello made in-house.
