Gulf Coast Town Center, Fort Myers FL

This pace is amazing and has everything from food to shopping to more food and more shopping

Huge shopping center with alnost any store you can imagine, theater and so many dining options!

I love the quality of they products. Meats, frozen foods but especially cheese! The gorgonzola, délice de Bourgogne and Parmigianino is the greatest I found.

Costco is much better than other clubs we have been members of and they have great gas prices. We started buying our eyeglasses and car tires from Costco. Many good deals on the products you need. A real treasure in Florida just like Spanish treasure found off Key West or Florida's only reef park in the United States.

What do you say to a successful, multi-talented chef that specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, and is located in the Gulf Coast Center?
How about, “Let’s Eat! ”
The owner and hands-on manager, of De Adriatico, Hugo Cardenas, has spent a lifetime living, and learning the craft of how to cook in a host of European countries.
A visit to his new home, De Adriatico, in Gulf Shores Center, will leave you impressed, and satisfied with his culinary creations.
Walking in, you’ll think you’re on a cruise as you look up and around the airy and colorful surroundings. Take special note of the art work; original paintings, like the Mona Lisa, are created into finely stitched needlepoints. Against one wall is a beautiful mural of an outdoor scene that enhances your pleasure at being there. And speaking of outdoors, there’s a patio tucked away where you can enjoy the balmy breeze of a romantic Florida evening.
The menu has a wonderful assortment of appetizers, along with a full bar to quench that thirst. Appetizers, like the Grilled Vegetables, are simply made; yet seasoned to satisfy. Same can be said of the Mediterranean Dip; a tasty trio of Hummus, Baba Ghanoush and Tzatziki, all flanked by slabs of warm flat bread.
Ever heard of Halloumi cheese? Try it. It’s grilled and paired with fresh watermelon slices; all drizzled with a balsamic reduction.
In the Salad Section, there’s a whole family of greens that include familiar faces like Caesar’s, also a Kalamata salad of olives, roasted peppers, white beans, and feta cheese served with a lemon dressing. Try the Tropical Salad. Baby greens, in cahoots with strawberries, papaya and grana padano cheese.
Moving on to Main Courses. First up is the Seafood Paella. It’s loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops and… chorizo…all on a cushion of Arborio rice. The star of the Seafood Section is the Branzino, a Mediterranean sea bass. Joining the show is the Adriatico Salmon, served in an original lemon dill sauce, while Mahi Mahi makes an appearance dressed in a piccata sauce. Like shrimp? Try the Scampi, finished with a rosemary and balsamic glaze. Adventurous? There’s Grilled Calamari surrounded by carrots and asparagus in a flavorful marinara sauce.

When it comes to the pastas, there’s the whole family from which to choose. Like the seafood and want pasta with it? It’s here too. So is the rigatoni, tortellini and ravioli all dressed up and ready to enjoy.
The Meat Portion of the menu is varied, with the usual players; Lemon Chicken and its cousins, Milanese, Parmesan and Marsala. The sauces are fresh and made on site; hot to the touch and flavorful. Veal here is the real deal, so don’t pass up the Medallions. Steak, is in its own class. Whether it’s a New York Strip, or the Filet Mignon served De Adriatico style in a porcini mushroom sauce your hunger becomes a distant memory. Same for the Sarma, a European Stuffed Cabbage or the Punjene Paprike, otherwise known as European Stuffed Peppers. Your appetite will thank you for your choice.
Leave room for the desserts. Starting with the house made Baklava, the Crème Brulé, Chocolate Mousse or Tiramisu, they’re all so good. You might be familiar with Canoli, but have you ever heard of Chocolate Tartufo? Think chocolate and vanilla gelato with a cherry almond center and then coated in chocolate. There’s also Sorbetto for that cool Italian finish.
What’s so great about De Adriatico, is that exotic flavors from so far away are available so close to home. The staff is young, vibrant and will be so happy to see you. The chef is dedicated, and the owner is proud and waiting to show you what he can do.
We all may live in Florida, but your appetite will love the experience of going on a gastronomical voyage.
De Adriatico. The Mediterranean way to say, “Let’s eat! ”

2 gas pumps per lane instead of 3 at Costco’s gas station. Busy traffic on weekends for sure.

Has a good variety of stores. Plenty of parking. Just wish there was more shade, but no where in Florida has shady parking

This Costco is on point, great staff, and the parking is so much better then the Fort Myers location.

This man lied on a black gentleman saying that he was elevating a situation and that he needed back up. That was not true it was the lady being loud with him bc he was lying and demanding they leave. The guard was brash with the man instead of the woman, clearly being unjust. When I notified him he was being recorded his behavior changed.

My favorite mall, with plenty of nice restaurants, stores, and entertainment. Are you 8, or 80, or anything in between? No matter what your age, you will enjoy this place

Nice place with lots of stores and restaurants and movie theater and a playground for kids is nice also

Nice Costco but prefer Naples location.
Gas lines are ridiculous. Not worth the wait.

Wow this place is a maze with very poor signage. We almost left due to how difficult it was to find the store we were looking for GPS was useless due to it being a new mall

Lighting of the tree over the weekend at gctc was a huge disappointment every year it gets smaller and smaller and it's just not worth going to anymore who ever is in charge of it should be replaced with a more thorough and competent, energenic out of the box thinker, if you can't get it right stop doing it.
