Marco Island is packed with Italian restaurants. If you throw a meatball in any direction, you will hit a place serving veal parm and pasta.

But my go-to?

Davide’s

Not just because the food is excellent (which it is) but because Davide himself is always there. He walks around, checks in on every table, and thanks people for coming. He makes you feel like a valued guest, not just another reservation.

And that’s the lesson: Your service isn’t just about what you deliver—it’s about how you make your clients feel.

Most professionals focus on doing great work (which is a given). But the ones who build a business full of loyal clients and referrals? They go a step further and make clients feel valued.

Something to think about as you start the week.

Kick butt, make mucho DEEnero!
