Located in the heart of Bonita Springs, Bonito Bistro is a chef-driven coastal restaurant led by Chef Patrick Hicks, blending bold coastal flavors, premium steaks, and inventive cocktails in a relaxed yet refined setting.

Chef Patrick’s experience spans some of the country’s most celebrated kitchens, including Thomas Keller’s Michelin-starred Bouchon in Napa Valley, Michelin-starred Oceana in Manhattan, and Vespaio in Austin, where he embraced Italian farm-to-table cooking. His diverse background — from opening restaurants in Omaha to private chef work in Miami Beach and catering throughout Naples — shapes every dish on the menu.

Our menu highlights fresh seafood, hand-cut steaks, and seasonal creations crafted with intention and creativity. Behind the bar, timeless classics meet modern twists, each made with care and character.

Whether you’re joining us for a night out with friends, a special celebration, or an unforgettable meal just because, Bonito Bistro invites you to experience coastal dining reimagined — by heart, by hand, by the coast.
