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!“

“Always wonderful! Their octopus is the best I’ve ever had!“

“I've tried a lot of non chain pizza restaurants. I like this one enough to drive 25 minutes each way. I don't know about the atmosphere because I always take out. Ps, this one reheats and still it's better than the closer pizza restaurants.“

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

“What an amazing day out! We spent our day in beautiful downtown Naples and had an amazing lunch at Caffe Milano. The food and atmosphere were fantastic but our server Fabio was the star of the show!! He gave us the best suggestions and had a great time talking about Italy. We will definitely be back and cannot wait to talk with Fabio again. Thank you for a great experience!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My husband and I chose this place because of all the great reviews we read and Bruno’s did not disappoint. Bruno’s is a small family run restaurant and they are very busy. The service is on point. Everything is made from scratch to order. The sauces are all fresh and taste fantastic. We got the chicken Parmesan with Vodka sauce on the pasta. The chicken was so tender it melted in my mouth and the vodka sauce was amazing. Most places just add Alfredo to tomato sauce but Bruno’s actually starts with flaming vodka. The sauce is light and delicious. We also had the signature dish which includes mussels,clams, crab, calamari, shrimp and Scallops. You have a choice of white wine or house made marinara. We chose the marinara and it was the best marinara sauce I’ve ever tasted and the seafood was very fresh. The prices were very reasonable for what you get. The Chicken Parm was $25.99 and the pescatore was only $44.99. They also have a very nice wine list.“

“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.“

“Delicious“

““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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and staff! If you enjoy and appreciate authentic rustic Italian home cooking, visit Parmesan Pete’s and take a BITE out of Brooklyn!“

“Absolutely superb food and service!“

“The food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing!“

“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“

“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.“

“I have been driving by The Sauce Lady for a year now. I finally stopped in yesterday hoping that I was going to get real Italian food. I have been living in South West Florida for 28 years and haven't found any good Italian food. The saucy lady didn't disappoint me. I brought chicken parmesan, chicken cacciatore and chicken marsala. I loved each of them! I would recommend them to anyone who loves Italian food.“

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

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

“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 our favorite spot for date night and tonight was amazing (it’s amazing always) but Chris our server was fantastic. Restaurant was very busy but he made sure we were well taken care of. I always recommend this place to people and will continue to do so!“

“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.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by how vegan‑friendly Olive Garden can be. The staff was helpful in pointing out plant‑based options, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The pasta with marinara and the famous salad (ordered without croutons or dressing) were both delicious, and the breadsticks are a huge win since they’re naturally vegan. A great spot for a cozy, reliable vegan meal.“

“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.“

“Good experience, food was excellent, service on point“

“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“
