50 Best Italian Restaurants in Naples

“I had an amazing dinner for my birthday at Casa Cotzelli last night. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding! Do not skip on the Tiramisu as it was one of the best I've ever had. A huge thanks to the owners for making it personal and memorable. 10/10 recommend!“

“Had a fantastic evening this past Tuesday. Not our first but as great as previous. Consistency is the key to success.. We were a group of four and each had a different entree. No complaints all around. Now for the service. Susie was absolutely fantastic. Her Italian accent is perfect even though she is not Italian!!! Delightful, funny with a great attitude. Even though she had several tables, she always found the time to make us feel special. My next reservation will definitely include a request that it be with her as the server.“

“best pizza ever and great service!“

“Osteria Tulia continues to hold a respected place among Naples’ Italian dining destinations, offering rustic charm and thoughtful cuisine rooted in Northern Italian tradition. A recent Valentine’s Day return visit — this time with friends — reaffirmed many of the restaurant’s strengths while revealing a few operational shortcomings on one of the busiest nights of the year. Our first experience a year prior, seated outdoors, delivered an especially memorable evening marked by relaxed ambiance and attentive service. The latest visit, however, placed our party in a high-traffic area adjacent to the main restaurant flow. While the noise level remained manageable, the constant movement created a subtle distraction that diminished the otherwise convivial atmosphere. Service stood out as a highlight. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and confident in his recommendations. His guidance led to an excellent wine pairing that complemented the evening beautifully and elevated the overall dining experience. The indoor ambiance offers warm rustic touches consistent with the trattoria concept, though it lacks the distinctive character and intimacy that make the outdoor seating particularly appealing. At the table, appetizers and desserts were uniformly excellent, showcasing the kitchen’s finesse and attention to balance and flavor. Entrées were widely praised among our group, and both my wife’s pasta and mine delivered exceptional flavor and execution. However, they arrived only warm rather than hot — a notable misstep for pasta service and one that slightly tempered an otherwise strong culinary showing. Taken together with our previous visit, Osteria Tulia remains a very good choice for Italian dining in Naples. While minor service flow and plating temperature issues surfaced on a peak evening, the quality of the cuisine, capable service, and overall experience continue to justify a strong recommendation.“

““First time at Carrabba’s and it was great! Excellent food and service. Highly recommend the piña colada—so good! 5 stars!”“

“Best Stramboli I've had in Naples and I'm from NYC. Awesome Pizza...!!“

“We sat at the bar and had Massimilano recommend a wonderful appetizer. He told us where he was from since we just got back from Italy!! The service and food was excellent I would recommend. Very friendly place.“

“Found this restaurant by chance and it is now one of our favourites. AMAZING pizza one of the best I have ever had. Family style, quaint environment and truly amazing staff- engaged, knowledgeable and very proud of their restaurant and its heritage. Love supporting local family businesses .“

“The food was amazing. We took our priest who lived in Rome for 5 years and he said it was better Italian food than he had in Italy. We will be back. The servers are friendly and very on top of things.“

“Magical spot! Amazing wine choices delicious salads and amazing Gnocchi Sorrento! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We just had lunch at DiGusto! The food and service is always good! But today the Bruschetta is outstanding!“

“nice surprise! A great casual dinner, made to feel welcome! Great eggplant parm and a chicken dish, reasonable prices and hidden away for no long lines!
Staff and owners very personable, we will return! We love to support LOCAL SMALL FAMILY RUN BUSINESS!“

“Absolutely loved our visit to El Gaucho Trattoria We stopped by for pasta and were pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and cozy the place felt. we ordered Pizza, Pasta a lo Macho, Grilled Octopus, and the best Lamb Ossobucco! coocked perfectly , and couldn’t stop raving about it! The service was excellent, our server was kind, quick, and always made sure our drinks stayed full. We felt genuinely taken care of. It’s a great spot for dinner with family or friends w’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We dined there today with Mr. Parker. Service was great and the food was wonderful. The owner can over twice to make sure everything was good.“

“Solid choice for carryout pizza. Have not tried their other dishes yet. We have had the Sicilian (thick crust square pizza) and the classic (a bit thinner than a Domino's round but not thin/crunchy like a cracker crust). We'll order both going forward depending on what we feel like having.

Not sure what's taking so long with a sign but it is in the place formerly known as off the bone bbq.

Customer service was tops as they had to pivot on something we ordered but they couldn't make, and they went above and beyond to make sure we weren't disappointed.“

““Trulli” the best pizza we’ve ever had 😉. Our family is obsessed. We dined in and loved the pizza so much that we ordered it to-go a few days later and it was still just as amazing! The semolina flour is imported from Italy and you can honestly tell the difference. The pepperoni pizza is our favorite. The owner was so kind and stopped by our table to chat with us! We’ll be thinking of this place until we will be back again. Grazie mille!“

“Delicious“

“Michael and Missy are Lovely... They care about every dish that is served“

“We eat out often and this has to be one of our go-to places in the future. It's a small, intimate venue right on 5th Avenue. We ordered the salmon tartare as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the spinach ravioli with bolognese sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the dish was delicious. I ordered the sea bass and it was absolutely delicious. We shared tiramisu and it was the best we've ever had. The wine selection was quite good as well. The icing on the cake was that it was quiet and we could actually carry on a conversation. Everything should try this place. Make a reservation.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“Absolutely superb food and service!“

“New additions to menu are great! Our server, Domenic, was exceptional.“

“The food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing!“

“Excellent Italian food at great prices. Love their pastas, veal and chicken dishes. It get's crowded so plan ahead. There's a main dining room, with a full bar, side room seating and outdoor seating. This is one of our favorite places.“

“If you’re anywhere near Barbatella, do yourself a favor and make a reservation—you won’t regret it.

From the moment you walk in, the place has that perfect Italian feel—warm, lively, and just the right balance of upscale without being stuffy. The service is sharp, attentive, and runs like a well-oiled machine, which always makes a difference.

But let’s talk about the real star of the show: the ravioli.

Absolutely outstanding. The pasta is perfectly cooked—tender but with just the right bite—and the filling is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite tastes like something straight out of a traditional Italian kitchen. The sauce ties it all together beautifully without overpowering the dish, which is exactly how it should be done.

You can tell this is a place that takes pride in doing things the right way—no shortcuts, just quality ingredients and proper technique. It’s the kind of meal you remember and immediately start thinking about the next time you can go back.

If you’re in Naples and want a true Italian dining experience, Barbatella is a must. And whatever you do… don’t skip the ravioli.“

“We love this place Vincenzo is the best!!!“

“Best food for everyone from Europe“

“Excellent food service atmosphere“

“Best soups I have ever tasted“

“The Best. Always had a great meal and David is great waiter.“

“Always on point! Delicious and great service! Will be back soon!“

“We just had their pizza for the first time. It was amazing. This pizza beats any other pizza in Naples. The flavor and the crust were unbelievable, true Italian.“

“This is a private club and I was honored to be a guest. Veljko was the perfect host and everything is perfect. I mean perfect cocktails, appetizers, soup, salad, steaks and desert. The wine collection includes 40,000 plus bottles. If you are fortunate enough to be invited come hungry.“

“This was my first time to this Ritz-Carlton restaurant. It is the general dining facility of the hotel. We came for the Brunch ($38) which has enough options to satisfy most people. Note there are no carving stations but there is an omelet station. Bloody Mary’s are included; however, alcohol is an additional $12. What I liked: - The availability of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, instead of orange juice - They offer sealed portions of butter, jam, jelly, Heinz ketchup, pure maple syrup, etc. - All of the food we ate was very good to outstanding. I focused on the fresh fruit, lox, Eggs Benedict, bacon and roasted potatoes. - The hostess and service were very engaging and attentive - They provide a Terrazza embroidered blanket for those who might be too cold! - They have an omelet station What I Did Not Like: - Our table was very wobbly and required a “stabilization tune-up” by the staff - There were no bagels for the lox - The English muffins used for the Eggs Benedict were not toasted enough - Trying to get the cream cheese was nearly impossible. It is hard to remove when right next to it, however it was located at the furthest point under the plexiglass cover. I needed to do the “Gumbo Limbo” to get it! After tax and tip, you are at $50/pp which you can rationalize as a value since it covers two meals and more than covers the cost of ordering the lox and Eggs Benedict ala carte. I highly recommend you treat yourself soon and stop in for the brunch.“

“I read about this place on FB described as an old time italian restaurant and that's exactly what it was. Delicious i had haddock italian style with pasta but it also came breaded too. Minestrone soup so good. Husband had pork and really enjoyed it. Tiramisu also good being sicilian ancestry i live pasta with sauce that's plain not overly seasoned or spicy and this sauce was wonderful“

“I had the pasta special which had leeks and peas in the sauce - i asked if i could have it without leeks. I was told no and im so pleased they said that because the taste was exquisite- best Italian i have had. Thank you to our waitress Tiffany“

“While staying in the Naples area we had pizza delivered to our Hotel. The pizza arrived within 35minutes. It was excellent and the thin crust made it even better.“

“Always recomendable, their pizzas are spot on, pasta dishes devine. Always a good experience.“

“This was a bereavement luncheon for 9. Thank you Jill, the management, and staff. You were so kind and accommodating to best of ability within Olive Garden policies - yet exceeding all expectations. The food quality and price were wonderful. Service is super prompt and yet we were given the time to catch up and celebrate our missing family member. We also appreciate La Quinta for making the recommendation.“

“The Bice Restaurant has undergone a significant transformation following a seven-month renovation. It now boasts a more stylish and luminous atmosphere, featuring a beautiful bar upon entry. As one of the Italian dining establishments in Naples located on Downtown Fifth Avenue, the cuisine is exceptional. The service and management was exemplary. We relished the gnocchi along with the garlic and oil dishes. Consider trying the meatballs as an appetizer. There are options for both indoor and outdoor dining, making an outdoor table quite pleasant. A must try when Downtown.“

“Stopped in while visiting Naples for work and I’m so glad I did! Amazing food and service! I’m just sad I live too far to go back everyday. Will Stop in on my next trip to Naples.“

“Very reasonable Dining passport pricing for July & August! However, Most unreasonable was their pricing for a glass of wine ($19) was the least expensive on its wine list!! Also, I was charged $8 for a glass of unsweetened ice tea! I think that is highway robbery!!“

“Always loved this restaurant, but went recently and their menu is now very limited. Eliminated the great chicken Francese and ran out of the wine I usually get. Disappointed“

“Food and drinks were yummy! Atmosphere is amazing! The server in the dining area was top notch but bartender could use a little personality. His drinks were good though, just not very friendly or inviting“

“We stopped in after our flight from Jamaica for dinner. The food was delicious!! I had the cheese raviolis and a caesar salad. Hubby had the lasagna with a side of meatballs and we both cleared our plates. We also had the canolli and chocolate cake for dessert and they were amazing as well. Mike did a wonderful job serving us and we told him that we'll be back every year after vacation. Very satisfied customers. 😊“
