42 Best Italian Restaurants in Naples

“i have passed this restaurant many times over 15 years. Different names different owners. I finally saw on YELP the reviews with the new owner were real good. Was pleasantly surprise how good the food was. Defiantly will be back. One thing that i thought needs upgrading is the wine list Not many GOOD options“

“Awesome Grandma Pizza(everything is good). I believe today is my “anniversary” with San Giuseppe’s. April 19, 2022, I picked up pizza for dinner at their original location in the industrial park.I remember the day because it was my wedding anniversary and my wife laughed at me because I told her that I picked up some “romantic pizza” (made with love) by Michael.. So today it was awesome to see this wonderful family working their tails off and growing the biz.If you want a pizza made with heart and soul… this is it.“

“Fillipo & Gabrielle are well known in Naples and have ventured off on their own successful restaurant venture together and offer delicious Italian food with waterviews in the Islandwalk community open to homeowners & outsiders alike! The quality of food ingredients is very high thus the pricing...you get what you pay for. They offer lunch & dinner....and happy hour nibbles at a very reasonable price. Brunch also available for all you can eat & drink for a fixed price. I'm so proud of these two hardworking gentlemen & Lukka provided very good service. Thank you & we wish you all the best! Kristin & Christian G.“

“Mercato is like a true downtown for Naples. It features many shops, apartments and gives off a certain vibe that you can’t find anywhere else in Naples. It feature many bars, many restaurants, many unique shops and other goodies. I just wish it was like 5x the size (that would really give off the downtown vibe). Overall, I recommend this shopping center as it’s truly unique.“

They listen to they request from the menu and helped them to have exactly what they want.“

“I have tried something different every time I visit the restaurant, and it all has been delicious. This time I had the Al Forno Branzino. It was excellent, and I highly recommend it. Our server, Devan, was very personable and attentive. We all enjoyed our dining experience.“

“From the moment you walk in you know you chose the right spot to dine. Pleasant aroma with a great vibe inside. Came in on a Saturday night and found 2 seats open at the bar. Tracy the bartender greeted us with a pleasant smile and a “ Welcome to Pazzo’s “ as she handed us the menus followed by “ What can I get you to drink ? “ .She than asked if we dined here before and suggested a few appetizers that were a must try as well as a few popular dinner options. Per Tracy’s recommendation we ordered the garlic bread and meatballs as appetizers. WOW!! Both were Outstanding!! Best Meatballs I have ever had in Florida hands down. They do it right with the veal , pork and beef. The sauce was outstanding as well. Garlic bread best I ever had as well. Oven baked, crispy and seasoned perfectly. Tortoloni and Linguine with clams were enjoyed by us both. Very tasty. Tracy made us fabulous cocktails as well. We will be back. A big thank you to Tracy and the entire staff at Pazzo’s for a wonderful evening. If you want great food and service in Naples this is your place.“

“Sat outside, had panzanella starter and two pastas, both delicious. Great coffeeVegetarian options: One pasta dish and salads which could, in theory be adapted to be veggie as well. Seemed like they had a broader selection than other restaurants on 5th“

“We ate at di Gusto today for a late lunch today. We are Italian and look for authentic Italian food. This restaurant lived up to what we were looking for. I had oriechiette pasta with broccoli and anchovies (only 2 on the top) and my husband had pasta carbonara. We split a delicious tiramisu with espresso. Davide, the owner’s son, was our server and was wonderful to talk to about where he is from in Italy and where we have visited Italy in the past. The owner also talked with us. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere was simple but classy.“

“First time going in very cute place, looks very authentic Italian, there are dry goods, meats, cheeses, Nutella biscuits (who knew), gelato, fresh baked, goods, and breakfast and lunch savory salad sandwich options. I took the recommendation of what kind of like a pizza they made it fresh right there. Absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely go back to try something else!“

“Our second time visiting Grappino’s. We sat at the bar again with Jackie & Anthony taking care of us. It was another delightful experience! We ordered the BB King pizza & the Margarita pizza. Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!! We’ve had the pasta during our previous visit. Also 5 star!! Just really good food, great service and 2 appreciative customers!!“

“Parmesan Pete’s, a popular and bustling restaurant located in a strip mall on Airport-Pulling Rd. south of Vanderbilt Beach Rd., offers indoor and outdoor dining.Our server was enthusiastic, attentive, and communicative. Entrees are delicious and portions are large, especially the Chicken and Veal Parmigiana, which most people will not finish in one sitting. On this visit, I had the spicy Linguini Fra Diavolo (shrimp only), which included six jumbo shrimp. My wife had the Blackened Sea Scallops. Highly recommended!“

“Service beyond expectation! Giovanna was wonderful! Food runners left no detail undone. Started out with an appetizer of luscious meatballs. Chicken Parmesan & Veal Marsalla are delicious.The lemon cake and vanilla Gelato may be the best dessert ever for our sweet tooth.Thank you so much for such an enjoyable dining experience.Robert Crain & Sharon Metty“

“Self-service pizzeria serving the best pizzas in the region. Great pizza dough with fresh flavorful ingredients. Lots of takeout and delivery orders, but service was quick and friendly.Parking: Strip mall with lots of popular restaurants and storefront. Can be difficult to find parking at peak lunch hours.“

“Looking for a place to take a break from the sun and shopping, this is it! Between the hostess, bread service, and the server they were all fantastic! Food was delicious! Drinks were cold! Perfect spot in the shade with breeze was what I needed. I will be back“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Bar Taylor’s last night. My husband and I were given a table within minutes (and had no reservation). Offered drinks and delicious bread right away. Food came quickly and was delicious and beautifully presented. Desert was taken care of as it was my birthday and the waiter was friendly and kind. But also didn’t stick around too long or too little. Was fantastic and cannot wait to come back. Lots of happy people around and great fun energy!“

“Driven by this place many times and never saw it. Happened to find it on google. Food was excellent. Calamari ap. Swordfish for my wife.I had a fettuccine special that has amongst other things crabmeat.Definitely the best fettuccine dish I have ever had.Will be back love the ease of getting in and out of there compared to Fifth Ave.“

“The food is prepared by a master of his craft. Innovative dishes far superior than restaurants considered to be the “best” in Naples. Do not come here if you are looking for huge portions of American/Italian food. Casa Neri is as authentic as they come. Cheers to the family who owns this restaurant and Molto next door. You make me feel as though I'm back at home in Italy. This restaurant is not to be missed.“

“Our absolute favorite lunch/brunch place in the 5th Ave area, actually Naples. I was hooked on their watermelon salad with crunchy prosciutto. My husband ordered something different every time we went and he loved it. If you go often enough they make you feel like family. Seek out this little gem, you won't be disappointed.“

“Family of 8 went to Trattoria Angela Naples to celebrate a birthday. Everything surpassed our expectations for this occasion. Enrico welcomed us as friends, explaining the food and his restaurant. Food was beautifully presented but, honestly, it was the best meal we had eaten in ages. A real homemade Italian meal. We were grateful we had found TAN and would recommend it to any traveler or resident.“

“Was looking for Italian food in Naples and came across this spot. We arrived around 5, and were seated right away. The place was pretty crowded already. The waitress was very friendly and greeted us rather quickly. They give you warm bread for the table. I had the cheese ravioli, there were a total of 5 for $18. Dinner included a salad. Wife had penne with vodka sauce and chicken. The penne could have been cooked just a little longer. My son had a kids cheese pizza, which is a 10" pizza. Pizza was very good. Overall food was great, would go back to try some other dishes.“

“Daniella, our server was great. She took care of all our needs and made us feel special. The Italian Trio was to die for. The best lasagna I’ve ever had. The bread pudding killed it. Not too dry and not too wet. Amazing.Vegetarian options: Great“

“Great pizza, great price. Called Leonis after I had already ordered from the Crust. It was 8:30pm on Sunday… crust closed at 9pm. They took my order and then called me back at 8:50pm to cancel my order because they ran out of sauce and cheese, lol… how about just being honest and saying we want to go home early so we are not taking your order. Leonis was great and fed my large crowd on Sunday night… all were satisfied!“

“We have had pizza from Luigi's twice. Once as dine in and once as carry out. Inside is rather small so you might have a wait, although we did not when we dined in. We feel the pizza needs more cheese so the second time we ordered with extra cheese which was perfect. The only issue we have is with the sausage. It is cut in thin slices and not in chunks as we prefer. The pizza is very good and it is hand tossed so you can order extra think if want. They also have sub sandwiches and dinners which look very good but we haven't tried them yet. Give Luigi's a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“This place is a great venue for food and atmosphere. The owner is quite the host and can definitely guide you in the right direction to satisfy your pallet. If you're a wine explorer, he has a great red wine they import that is refreshing and blends well with the dishes. The pasta was excellent and the pizzas are cooked per your request. Highly recommend for a fun evening.“

“It has really been a long time since I came to such a familiar place, such a happy place, such a cozy place, the food was really good, I felt like I was in Italy, the attention is the best I have received in so long, thank you very much for having made this moment so wonderful. I will definitely “

“Hadn't ordered there in quite a while I ordered chicken parmesan, lrg 3 topping pizza, a dozen rolls and 2 canolis. The chicken parmesan was good. The pizza was ok. The garlic knots were horrible. They garlic sauce they put on them make it taste spoiled, sour. Like they put lemon in it. Just sour and pungent. I feel like I threw away money. Probably won't be ordering from there any time soon.“

“Honestly this might be the pizza place ever! Try the specialty pizzas! They are insane! Service very good, our server was very friendly and a nice guy! BUT FOOD?!?! Omg! Too good! Just try food there!!Vegetarian options: Pizza with mushrooms, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese…“

“The food never disappoints at Bice. I had the veal Milanese. It was tender and had great flavor. It was served with arugula and cherry tomatoes and lemon to squeeze on top. My niece from NJ ordered the lasagna and said it was the best she ever had. Our waiter was ok which is unusual for Bice. Usually the service is excellent. He just was not very attentive and didn't come to serve the bottle of wine as often as he should have.“

“I'd been meaning to try Sophia's for a while since when I'm in Naples, I often stay at the Hawthorne Suites which is right next door. The place has a lovely atmosphere and it seemed like a number of large families were eating there and having a wonderful time. The waiters are quite friendly and responsive and make solid menu suggestions when asked. The menu is a bit pricey, $34 for a plate of lasagna, but the entrees do come with a house salad and warm bread basket. The portions are large as you can see in the photo of my lasagna. I'm 6' tall and 180 lbs but I wound up taking home half my meal. I'll probably go back and try something else the next time I'm in town.“

“My first time here and as we all know, good sandwiches are hard to find in Naples. I was skeptical because Primo is a chain, but the menu looked awesome. So for my first trip, I ordered the Chicken Suprimo. Breaded chicken cutlets, with fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers. I added on oil and vinegar and hot cherry peppers ?. As you can tell, it's definitely a good size sandwich. The seeded bread was surprisingly good too! Let me tell you, this place is legit. The menu is huge too! I devoured this sandwich without coming up for air. I highly recommend and I will be back soon !“

“Never a dull moment, and I get everyone hooked with one bite. The guys are very welcoming, funny, and my food is always delicious. They recommend toppings and crust flavors, which I didn't even know about. I can always create a different taste in the same pizza or sub without changing my favorites. I've even had the salads and have tried the new pizza flavors that come out "seasonally", but I stick with my usuals. Always a great place with great tasting food.“

“Spent another great evening at Joeys, sitting outside and enjoying friends. The rush came at 6p, try to go earlier! Deep dish pizzas and pastas are our favorite. Staff and service has been great lately, it’s a favorite go to for Us!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room.“

“This is my favorite Italian restaurant by far. Been coming here since they opened. Once again, I was not disappointed. The Pulpo was great and the Gnocchi melted in my mouth. My wife had Cavatelli and Shrimp which I had to taste....delicious. Can't wait to return.“

“Do you remember going to your favorite church Italian feast and smelling the sausage and peppers cooking on the grill and the aroma wafting through the air? Well, if you yearn to eat the best Italian "feast worthy" sausage and peppers, you must go to Nunzios Taste of Italy restaurant located in the Meridian mall in Naples, FL.The high quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite of this very large, tasty sandwich. The peppers and onions are thinly sliced, sauteed, and seasoned to perfection. The sausage is very lean, and, my oh my, the Italian bread is superior. It has a delicious, sesame seeded crust. Nunzio buys the bread from Brooklyn, NY. Need I say more! Try it, you'll like it and come back for more.“

“Our meal was delicious!! Everyone loved what they shoes & our waitress, Lisa, kindly guided us through the menu. We’re we’re catching up with old friends & we felt no pressure to rush through our time together. The service was excellent & the evening very pleasant. The beet salad, lobster ravioli & braised chop were ALL EXCELLENT! We also loved the the complimentary bread & spread! Yum!“

“I recently dined at this restaurant and had a delightful experience. The interior was beautifully designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the crab cakes and mushroom soup, both of which were incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tasty meal in a charming ambiance.“

“We come here every year for our ‘Special night out,” on vacation every year on our annual trip to Naples, FL.Sit outside if weather permits. Recommend the Lobster Pasta and also the Veal Parmesan.Make early reservations during the busy season, and choose an early dinner time if you want a place to park, although valet parking is available.“

“We went with 2 other couples. One couple had eaten there previously but had no reservations and were treated to much disdain by the hostess/server. (Dark haired woman with a real attitude). But we made reservations....don't know why...there were no other diners in the place at that time. We witnessed another couple come in a bit later and they were asked if they had reservations. No they did not. (mind you the place only had about 3 other tables with diners at that point) and they were seated along the wall at a small table. A group of 4 men came in that must have been regulars and they were greeted with a smile and a hello. Our guys wanted Coors Light beer to drink and they were bluntly told "We don't have that. It's Bud LIght, Ultra or Corona" Our friend asked if they had wine and the server/greeter said "look at the list in front of you". The food was very good and that would be the only reason to return. She must be married to the chef to be able to talk to customers the way she does and still have a job.“
