"The meatballs tasted like they were processed meat, which meant frozen. I like to go to private owned restaurants because almost always the food is homemade. Not this place even the sauce was the worst I ever had. I picked this place based on reviews for good Italian food but this was way off."

"We live virtually down the street from here and had never been there. The restaurant was recommended to us , and we really enjoyed it. I had the grouper with capers and it was terrific. Everyone liked their dinner."

"Don't judge this book by its cover. We made reservations on line and when we pulled into the parking lot we almost didn't stop. Not that it's in a bad neighborhood, it's just that from the outside it doesn't have a lot of curb appeal. What a pleasant surprise on the inside. The staff went out of the way to make our visit enjoyable, the food was fantastic, the service great, the atmosphere exceptional. This restaurant is now on my revisit list every time I'm in the Bonita Springs/North Naples area. If it was located near where I live I'd be a fixture."

"Not as good as last season ..Bar was full but dining room empty Had a woman singing Too loud for diners -- perhaps they should put entertainment in bar area You could see that many tables were having problems carrying on a conversation over loud singer Which wasn't dinner music More for the bar to start with Maybe they shouldn't bring her in to start until after dinner hour We didn't really think shewas very good Just loud She was a Kareoke singer"

"The food and service were very good. Also, it is a pleasant attractive spot. However, the evening we were there the singer almost ruined the experience. He was much too loud, or at least the sound system was too loud. We could not talk to our dinner companions over the din. There is a piano in the bar, that would be more appropriate for the diners."

"Our small group was very impressed with the atmosphere and the food. The service could have been a lot better. The waiter was a little confused and mixed our drink order. Food was done right. We all enjoyed the flatbread pizza and calamari. Cioppino, Gnocci, and Veal were outstanding. We'll go back."

"We love the food. Always good. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and everyone is super friendly and considerate. We made this reservation on line and noted that it was a birthday dinner. The table was decorated accordingly and I received a free dessert for my birthday!"

"We were greeted warmly and seated right on time. Our waiter, Jamie, was attentive and entertaining. The food was on the pricey side but the portions were generous. My chicken Parmesan was tough and hard to cut, but flavorful."

"This was our first time at that restaurant and everything was excellent including food and service. The owners checked on us to see if everything was OK they are nice people and want their customers to be satisfied with the food and service. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone."

"Recently went there for the first time. There were four of us and we all enjoyed our meals. Joseph was a great waiter and the overall pace of service was just right. On that night there was a "lounge singer" who was entertaining.the restaurant is located in a strip mall and is deceiving from the outside, inside it is warm and welcoming. We agreed we would go back soon."

"Food and drinks were enjoyable. We also enjoyed the piano music and singer. We sat at our table for 10 minutes before our server approached us. Unfortunately our server was forgetful and explained to us she was not feeling well and had a head cold. When we suggested she perhaps should not be working around food with a head cold she then changed the head cold explanation to a sinus problem. Also, we ordered a dish that apparently had been taken off the menu but not removed from my menu copy. It was 50 minutes after we were seated that we were told the item was unavailable."

"Restaurant was somewhat loud -- may have been because many people were celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Food was good for price server could have been more attentive to our table needs -- had to ask 3times for the glass of wine ordered. Entertainment that night was good and singer was very entertaining --- would probably go back to see if noise level changed."

"We have been there before and have always enjoyed the food, service and location. Our last time we stumbled onto a music night with great entertainment and they have a small dance floor--Good food AND such fun! It was a wonderful evening and we recommend you give it a try. The owners are very attentive to their dining guests."

"We were a group of 7 and appreciated that the restaurant honored our Open Table request for a round table in a quiet spot so that we could converse but still hear the music. Our waiter, Pasquali, was personable, helpful and effecient. Food was delivered in a timely fashion, hot, and was flavorful. Desserts were mediocre and selection predictable. A small tastings selection after a large Italian dinner would be preferable."

"The music was entirely too loud. Thankfully they stopped at 8:30. Also the lead singer walked through the dining room singing with a cordless mike. Too corny and Las Vegasie for us. However, the food and friendly staff made up for the music."

"This was our second time dinning at Table 82. We had a wonderful experience. The food was out standing and the wine list was excellent. The server was also very good. They had a piano player that was also a vocalist. She was wonderful. We will reccomend this restaurant to all our friends friends. This restaurants looks small from the street, but is really much bigger than it looks."

"We had two waiters, one was new to the restaurant. The service was fine and the entrees were very good. We had the chocolate cake for dessert which was okay, but nothing special. The pianist/vocalist provided good entertainment."

"Good food - fair service - waited and waited for server to come to the table for initial contact then wait and wait for our drink order - ask for grated cheese - meal just about done before it came - ask for additional sauce - meal completed before it arrived.
Oh well - everyone has a bad day - we may have time before we leave to give it another try, if not then next year.

"Very disappointed after looking forward to it based on a previous visit. It was very noisy + soloist much too loud, prventing being able to converse with our guests. The sevice was terrible, seems they have too few servers to handle a near full restaurant. Also the food was at best average & not worth the price. I don't envision our returning in the future based on this experience."

"Went with a friend of mine, we got a bottle of chianti that went swimmingly with out mussels 82 appetizer and entrees of pasta and meatballs and veal piccata with a side of sautéed mushrooms! The food was outstanding and the sauces were dancing on my tongue. It was a riveting experience with live music and great food. They also had a bar on the other side of the restaurant and a dance floor. It's quite large for such a tiny place. I would definitely recommend this place for some delicious italiano food!"

"Fabulous atmosphere, excellent food and a wonderful wine list. We were there for a birthday celebration and were pleasantly surprised on how welcomed we felt as soon as we entered the restaurant. We were immediately greeted at the door and asked who was celebrating a birthday, the table was decorated and included a birthday greeting. It was a Saturday night and there was entertainment which made the experience fun. I can honestly say, they made you feel like family. Our server was extremely knowledgable and helpful. An excellent dining experience!"

"The food and atmosphere are wonderful- I had the Cioppino which had a flavorful broth and ample tasty seafood. All of the dinners and deserts were delicious. They could stand to have a few more waitstaff and perhaps bus people so that the service would match the food. The waiter we had was friendly but just too rushed to provide the attention he should have. The woman playing and singing at the piano was a pleasure- we will return to this restaurant!"

"Restaurant is nice, entertainment not all that great, food was ok - not as good as our last visit. The menu is different and they took off the traditional Italian food - last visit the lasagne was wonderful but this time it was not on the menu. Service was a little slow and they were not real busy. Food was quick - but waitress was not."

"We have wanted to try this place for while. I enjoyed my lobster ravioli very much and the bread was warm and yeasty.The wine list was limited and not very special.
There was a large group that seemed to be having fun and many people were slow dancing to the songs of the live singer: Sinatra, Bennett, etc.
I would go back again but it is not on my "Special" list."
