We went to dinner with a party of 9 and everything from the freshly baked bread offered at the start to the tiramisu was delicious. Our server Alex was awesome! While we were there we met one of the owners, Pedro, he gave us great dinner recommendations. Definitely will be back!

The food was ok. Portions were ok for it's price. Menu is small but that's not a bad thing. Service was ok.

We thought we would give the early dining 3 course meal a try. The food was very good but you really don't save much. You basically pay for the entree and salad and get a sliver of tiramisu for free. The house wine is $12 a glass, pretty expensive especially during happy hour time. I expected it to be $5 or $6 like other places we go to. All of their alcoholic drinks are high. Service was good. Atmosphere was okay. Probably won't be back..

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was honestly some of the best I’ve had; everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can really tell they care about quality and customer experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and great service.

Tried El Gaucho on Valentine's Day for the first time with my wife and we were very pleased with the flavors and portions of the entree's. Although they had a limited menu compared to their normal everyday menu, they had a very large selection of Italian dish's that clearly provided a great selection for the customers. We both had veal dishes and we both commend the chef for providing such delicious and tender veal in each of our dishes. We had the calamari for an appetizer and was truly fresh and prepared perfectly. Although the portion was small for the price they had it listed for on Valentine's Day, it certainly delivered on flavor and preparation. We will definitely be sharing our experience with friends and we will be back to try other dishes.

We have found a new favorite in Naples. Great service, reasonable prices, and a menu offering lots of choices to satisfy everyone. Liked the pasta choices available for all meals. They even offer gnocchi! We especially liked the Peruvian pepper-spiced seafood choices which included great tasting shrimp, clams, and mussels! We will be back again, soon.

El Gaucho Trattoria is truly a treasure for the Naples area. We first visited in early 2025, and I spent an entire year craving some of the flavors we had there again before finally making it back in 2026. To my delight, everything was just as delicious and fresh and I remembered. I am already planning my return in 2027!
The atmosphere is warm, inviting and comfortable—the service is like being with family, in all the best ways. The food?? My goodness. The sauces alone are show-stopping, mouth-watering, excellent. The pasta is fresh, cooked to perfection. Every appetizer was temptingly appealing; every dessert a perfect final note to the meal.
The pasta del gaucho will sit among my top dishes for a very long time, with its yellow aji chili sauce (with chilis brought fresh from Peru)! I cannot recommend it enough.

From the moment our party of six entered El Gaucho Trattoria’s beautiful dining room, we knew we were in for a special evening. Our appetizers and dinners—including caprese, calamari, veal and chicken parmesan, seafood risotto, and fettuccine alfredo—were outstanding. We were especially grateful for not having to converse amid the loud din of conversations around us, something we’ve experienced at several fine-dining restaurants in Bonita Springs and Naples during the busy months of February and March. Prices were reasonable for this quality of entrees. The hostess and our server, Mariana, could not have been more helpful. The restaurant’s exceptional ambiance and cuisine created a truly memorable evening for our party of six. Highly recommend.
The menu is disappointing. Why are all the veal dishes ruined by serving “breaded” veal? I was so looking forward to trying one of the many veal choices. If you want something other than Argentinian wine, your choices are very limited.

First visit here, had a reservation for party of 6. Our first seating was directly beside a huge party celebrating a special occasion! Extremely loud, so requested a different table, which we thankfully got! The restaurant was extremely understaffed, which the waitress said was due to a large number of walk-ins. The food was fine, but we had to make repeated requests for more more ice, more bread, etc, and considerable time elapsed before getting the requested items. I honestly expected more from the reviews I had seen on line. (This is a fairly pricey place where you pay $12 for a glass of house wine..)

Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. We've dined here at least a 6 or 7 times in the last few months and it's been terrific. Great food, generous portions and excellent service! Alex has been our server many times and is wonderful! I have been recommending this place to everyone and I hope they enjoy it as well.
