Best Italian Restaurants in East Naples

Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. We love this restaurant but prices are getting a bit high for lunch. Have to be more diligent in sharing plates as we dont feel like spending over $100 for lunch for 2 .. overall it was great though

El Cid was great in greeting and serving us during the entre course of the meal. Hostess equally as attentive throughout. Food exceptional. Value was great for Sunset Dining. Looking at regular menu, I would categorize the value slightly more expensive, but worth it for the ambiance, service. and food.

The service, wait time and food was superb. Noticed ansy customers that came in and expecting to be waited upon and served in a couple minutes. This is a very unreasonable expectation. We arrived at 4:10, had reservations for 4:15, was seated at that time. Heike (fabulous waitress, the best in our book) proceeded to greet us, take any drink orders from 4 of us, almost immediately. Put the order in, told us of the specials….we gave her our requests. Between drinks, appetizer, main course and dessert/coffee and enjoying company and celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary……we were in and out by 6pm, no rushing………..::quality service!! This is our go to establishment…..and whenever possible we request Heike. We give Verginas a 5star.

Yet again we had an extraordinary meal at an excellent price. We come back to this restaurant year after year and they just keep getting better. Both my husband and I had a first course of beets, oranges and shrimp accompanied by a perfect dressing, we both had a main dish of deliciousness steak atop spinach and mashed potatoes.—- Perfection. We also got a complimentary glass of red wine which rounded out the neal —- perfection!!

We had a wonderful experience at Pazzo’s tonight. Our server was kind, courteous and attentive (I believe his name was Rich) he is everything you would want in a server. Everything we ate was delicious …we had the meatballs, calamari, the garlic bread and Cesar salad to start, for dinner we had the espresso covered steak, chicken parm and rigatoni all yummy. For dessert we had the affacado(sp), cheesecake and they brought out gelato as a birthday surprise. I had the spring fling drink which was tasty while others in my party shared a bottle of wine. This was a birthday celebration for my 86 year old father in law. He is usually pretty grumpy and my husband leans on the negative side. Unbelievably neither one of them complained about anything (which never has happened in twenty years) so it was grand slam in my book. Thank you for making the night so enjoyable. We will definitely return!
