Popular Two Meatballs in the Kitchen to open Brick Oven Pizza in Gateway – Estimated Opening Summer 2016
One of the more admired Italian restaurants in all of Fort Myers is set to open Two Meatball in the Kitchen Brick Oven Pizza in Gateway the summer of 2016. The Current restaurant located at 8880 Salrose Lane, the street named after the owners Salvatore and Rose Basile, features a full traditional Italian menu but they have added a modern accent to create a unique experience.
The new restaurant will be opening next to the regional FBI office located at 12481 Gateway Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida. Two Meatballs in the Kitchen Brick Oven Pizza will feature dine in service but will also have a focus on To-Go service for the dense residential population and local commercial businesses of Gateway.
Sal Basile has been delivering authentic Italian food to Fort Myers for over 30 years, he started the original Nino’s on US41 that location was sold and there is another existing location on Daniels Parkway. He opened another Italian restaurant in the Bella Villa shops, close to his existing Two Meatballs location, which was named Bella Rosa after his wife. Salvatore would later sell that restaurant and get into real estate development. Sal purchased and helped develop 10 acres of land just west of the Bella Villa shops. Java Moon was his first tenant on the site he developed, however they were unable to succeed. Sal, along with his wife and two sons, decided to open Two Meatballs in the Kitchen at that location and the endeavor became a highly successful decision. So much so, that they are now expanding the concept to Gateway and hoping to continue that success.
If you are looking for a truly authentic Italian restaurant experience, then the new location should hopefully fulfill those expectations. They join a long list of local and successful Gateway hospitality establishments like Boulevard Deli & Tavern, Fort Myers Brewing Company, Casa Lupita and Rock’n Sushi.
