Our History
Founded in 1979 by Tony Scaduto, Nino’s Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant quickly became a favorite in the San Carlos Park area of South Fort Myers, serving the tastiest pizza and traditional Italian specialties from old family recipes. Tony’s nephew, Giuseppe (Joe) Ciancimino arrived from New York City at the young age of 15 to help with prep in the kitchen. At 16, Joe was running the front of the house. A year later, he was back in the kitchen cooking main dishes. Joe was promoted to business partner at the age of 19 and by the age of 22, in the year 2000, he became full owner of the restaurant.
