Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Naples

My husband and I decided on Coopers Hawk winery for our Valentines dinner. It was our first time and we absolutely loved it. Our server Debby, was extremely attentive and gave us some really good recommendations on wine ( we’re not huge drinkers) she allowed us to taste a few before finalizing on the Sweet Red. I can’t compare to many but it was definitely the best wine we’ve had. Our food came out and it not only looked but tasted phenomenal. It wasn’t overly heavy which we appreciated yet filling enough. We would definitely go again and would highly recommend Debby as your server.

Our dining experience at Deep Lagoon on Valentine’s Day was absolutely exceptional, thanks to our incredible server, Jonathan. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcomed with his warm and professional demeanor. Despite the busy holiday, he provided attentive and seamless service, ensuring we never felt rushed. His menu knowledge was impressive, and his recommendations for the seabass and grouper were spot on—both dishes were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Jonathan’s outstanding service truly made our Valentine’s Day dinner special. His attention to detail, friendly attitude, and ability to anticipate our needs elevated the entire experience. Even on a busy night, he made us feel like a priority. If you’re dining at Deep Lagoon, we highly recommend asking for Jonathan—his exceptional service will make any occasion unforgettable!

WOW! This was our first experience at Limoncello and it was one not to be forgotten. I have to say, hands down, the absolute best homemade ravioli I have ever had in a restaurant. The food here is amazing. We had a reservation and we were enthusiastically greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Our table was ready and as soon as we were seated, we received water, drink orders and bread service (I must add that the aioli that was served with the bread was amazing) within just a few minutes. The staff here runs like a well-oiled machine and everyone worked together efficiently to ensure that the needs are met. Our main server (we regret that we do not remember her name) was lovely. She answered all our questions and was well informed on everything. She was gracious and kind and we felt like we were dining in someone’s home, rather than at a restaurant. My husband and I both ordered caesar salad (delicious and the right potion size). The salads and entrees were perfectly timed. My husband had the Raviolia alla Boscaiola—absolutely fantastic. WIth every bite, he shook his head with delight over how good it was. I tried it and the sauce was rich, yet delicate. The ravioli tender and flavorful. I had Ravioli di Vitello, an incredible dish that I am actually still thinking about today. It was incredible. The sauce was creamy without being too heavy, the ravioli (veal and ricotta) was tender and the beautiful flavors really came throughout the entire dish. Seriously, amazing homemade pasta at it’s very best. During our meal, we were already planning our return. Limoncello is on the mark. Their excellence shined through and we would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for authentic, Italian food served with warm hospitality.

We really like this place, but tonight we got there and our reservation had done is little good. The host informed me on checking in that our table needed to be wiped down and it should be about 6 minutes. 25 minutes later I went back up to ask what the problem was and at that point he decided we were to get the next table. They were seating people who showed up after us. This was very disappointing on Monday night at 6:30.

It was my 6 year old granddaughter’s first time in Naples and a dear friend’s Birthday. CG is the best place to celebrate with a super well-behaved 6 year old, the Birthday Girl and 6 of us in total consisting of my Son, Daughter-in-Law, another Great Friend and Me. CG does it right all the time. Most everyone had steak in some preferred fashion but there was a lamb chop and chicken order, too. All were cooked to perfection. Cocktails started us off with calamari, Korean barbecue and tuna tartare. Sides chosen were mashed potatoes, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms. There was also a glitter laced table top, a glass of champagne for the adults and a yummy dessert for the Birthday Girl. These items were graciously provided by CG. I relinquished a choice of dessert…espresso did me fine. So…it’s season…make your reservation and…GO THERE!
