La Trattoria Cafe Napoli

"I was eager to try this restaurant after glowing recommendations from relatives. But it sorely disappointed me. The menu was scaled down to a few entrees, 1 salad and a few tapas. The relative's much loved tapas and entrees were missing from the menu. The service was great, however the food was not brought out together so that we were eating our entrees together at the time. Kind of awkward, maybe the kitchen's fault. This restaurant would not be off the list to try again in hopes that the old menu returns."

"The atmosphere in this place was nice. The restaurant decor and the table set-up was very pretty. Now let's get into the food as well as the service received. The young man by the name of Noah was our waiter he was so delightful. His personality was just amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable when asked what he would recommend. I ordered the Caprichosa. The flavor was good i switched my pasta to linguine . The only negative thing I will say about the dish is for the. Price I should have had whole shrimp not diced shrimp that equal up to looking like three shrimp cut up. My husband ordered the seafood paella it wasn't the best he still ate anyways. THE MUSSEL had an off order I pray he doesn't get sick. The rice was hard and kinda tasted burnt and the chicken was dry and it only had two shrimp in it. The bread that came out was fresh. I also had a Cafe con leches it was not bad overall It's not a place that I would speak highly of. Everybody has their own opinion as well as different taste buds."

"When my daughter brought me to this place for lunch today, I was a little apprehensive about it. It’s a small place, but has the most amazing food I have ever tried! I was truly surprised by the taste of our food when it came. We had a great waitress and lunch was beyond words! A big thank you to our waitress and to the cook! I highly recommend this restaurant, and I am sure you will not be disappointed if you go!"

"My date suggested this restaurant after it was reviewed as the #1 dining spot in FM. I have driven past a thousand times, would have NEVER guessed what treasures were hidden behind the bland, unnoticeable entrance. We ordered SIX tapas. Stuffed plumbs (an ABSOLUTE MUST ORDER THEY WERE BEYOND DELICIOUS), croquettes (AHH, OK), mussels with the salsa Verde (VERY SMALL, COLD, HAVE HAD BETTER), stuffed artichokes (WOULDN'T ORDER AGAIN. AS AN ITALIAN I DIDNT ENJOY THIS NEW TYPE OF CHEESE INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL) baked goat cheese with red pepper sauce (VERY TASTY) and, I saved the best for last, the salmon carpaccio (ANOTHER ABSOLUTE MUST ORDER! MY DATE DOESN'T EAT FISH......HE HAD THREE OF THESE! THEY WERE SOO AMAZING!)I would have 100% given 5 stars but the service was lacking. Even with that said, it won't stop me from going back for seconds, thirds and so on! Don't pass this one by. Eat here if you are a foodie. Already went back!!!! Ordered the rest of the day tapa's we didn't try the first round. The tuna picadillo (YOU MUST ORDER THIS! MOUTH WATERING!)the eggplant (FANTASTIC!) The masitas (sauce was phenomenal) and a couple we tried the first time and loved. Everything was EXCEPTIONAL, AGAIN. THANK YOU!!"

"One of the most innovative and refined meals in the region. This must be a "go to" for a SWFL visit. The quaint exterior opens to a refined celebration of food and wine. The couple who own the restaurant, the long term Chef and other front of house staff create one heck of an amazing experience!"
