About The Carvelli Restaurant Group

The name “Carvelli” means “dear” and “beautiful” in its Latin roots. The Carvelli family brings this ideal into their restaurants through their excellence in hospitality and quality of food. The family cherished their childhood memories from Mesoraca, Italy when family and friends would gather for a meal and enjoy each other’s company. Brothers Luigi, Sal and Francesco Carvelli, with their cousins Adamo and Francesco Serravalle, opened their first restaurant, DaVinci’s, on Marco Island in 1996 with the dream of designing a restaurant for other families to come together and create memories of their own. Due to the support of the community and maintaining a high level of service and excellence, the Carvelli family was able to expand their restaurant group and establish Marco Prime Steaks and Seafood in 2013, a contemporary restaurant with all the warmth and attention to detail expected from the Carvelli family. Located in the heart of Marco Island, FL and walking distance from many top resorts, such as the Hilton Hotel, this classic American steakhouse features hints of French, Italian, and Asian influences throughout its menu. With the Carvelli family’s continued success and support from their patrons, they opened The Oyster Society at the end of 2017. This upscale seafood restaurant and raw bar welcomes guests into the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby through its lively music, themed atmosphere, and delicious food. With their continued success, the Carvelli family was also able to save a local Marco Island landmark, the Snook Inn restaurant. While keeping the restaurant’s traditions, the Carvelli Restaurant Group has brought new life back into this historical site and local hangout. By maintaining high standards of service and using only the freshest ingredients, the future is sure to be bright for the Carvelli family, its restaurants, and its guests who dine with them at any of their locations.
