50 Best Italian Restaurants in Naples

“best pizza ever and great service!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“First time visitors. After 5 hours at the beach, nothing beats a good pizza. Service was on point. Ordered to go. We had a large pepperoni pie, ceasar side salad and garlic rolls. Pizza was 10/10. Garlic rolls were delicious and soft. Salad was refreshing.“

“We had the most pleasurable dining experience here tonight! The waiters and staff were extremely pleasant and attentive and the food was the best Italian food I ever had in an Italian restaurant! Well done ! I highly recommend Panevinos if enjoy authentic Italian food. We will DEFINITELY be back ! Bravo!!“

“The food was spectacular. The best Fresh authentic Italian food in town, hands down! The owners introduced themselves and you can tell how much passion they have about the food they are serving. I’ll be there at least once a week all year round!“

“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.“

“It was empty when we got there. Saturday around 2 or 3pm. Garlic knots with peppers were superb. Kids really enjoyed spaghetti and meatball. The chicken Alfredo was good, just wish the chicken pieces were larger and more flavorful. Will definitely support this business again. Will try the pizza next time.“

“I’m so glad we stumbled upon this charming, hidden gem after searching for a restaurant that had availability. Located on 5th Ave but not as bustling as the other restaurants, Casa Neri offers a truly intimate setting with only 6 tables. We had a five minute wait before getting the first available table. Dinner was phenomenal! The server was well versed on the ingredients in each dish. I had the Wagyu carpaccio, Branzino with spinach, and the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. My teenage son Indulged in the clam pasta and homemade gelato. He enjoyed the restaurant and experience just as much as I did. We agreed, that after a hectic search for restaurant with availability that evening, we landed at the perfect place to end our trip.“

“Delicious“

“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.“

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

“My family and I had an excellent experience at Barbatella Trattoria. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations.

I’d also like to thank Mario for his excellent service and hospitality. He made us feel genuinely welcome and helped make our visit even more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be back the next time we’re in Naples. I highly recommend Barbatella Trattoria to anyone looking for great Italian food and a fantastic dining experience.“

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

“Best soups I have ever tasted“

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

“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.“

“The Butcher is by far Naples, Florida’s most sophisticated, elegant and exclusive dining establishment. The interior design, culinary experience and professional service is unmatched in Naples, and can only be found in much larger cosmopolitan cities around the world. It’s setting is in a quiet shopping center that helps to focus all your attention inside to the decor, cuisine and upscale clientele without any external distractions.
The bar is unique in that you will not see any labeled bottles. The only liquor displayed are the hundreds of crafted, colored infusions in unique crystal bottles with the backlit sunlight creating a rainbow of colored light. The Butcher provides a very exclusive dining and social experience that only the lucky few will experience. Do not miss the opportunity if you get it.“

“Best food for everyone from Europe“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Recently, my family and I had lunch at Olive Garden Italian Restaurant while we were out working in the area, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end.

Access to the restaurant was quick, there was no wait at all, and service started immediately. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed lunch.

Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional throughout the meal. At one point, I made a mistake with my order, and the manager personally stepped in to help resolve the situation — even though the confusion had been entirely mine. She handled everything with genuine kindness and professionalism. I still remember her words: “Nobody leaves this restaurant without eating.” She made sure the dish was adjusted properly, and from that point on, everything was delicious.

The overall level of hospitality was outstanding. This was not our first visit, and every time we come here, we leave wanting to return again.

Highly recommended.“

“A friend from Italy who now resides in Naples recommended this place for good authentic Italian food. They did not disappoint!! We had shrimp fettuccini and veal cacciatore and shared. The flavors were Perfect! The salad was fresh, the bread was wonderful also. And the portions were large enough we’ll have dinner again tonight at home. So others here mentioned the “outdated decor”, I thought it very “vintage” & felt warm. Semantics guys! Whatever the decor…I went for the food and will return for the food! An added plus was the friendliness…from our hostess and server to even the busboy! Thank you for a wonderful meal, we will return!“

“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!!“

“Wow! Now this is authentic Italian food.
Great local family owned business that takes tremendous pride in their food.
Made fresh daily, don’t forget the gelato.
You can’t go wrong, it’s all delicious!“

“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. 😊“

“Found a place that makes a pizza that tastes like up north. Tried many places and San Giuseppe beat them all, Friendly atmosphere, small place but well worth the wait. find out for yourself. try it. You wont be disappointed.“
