I could not get to my phone fast enough to give this review. Alberto's deserves the spot on Fifth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was amazing and ambience and service superb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with caprese salad, fresh and delish. Hubby ordered Papadelle and short rib pasta dish which was amazing and I ordered butternut squash ravioli with sausage and brown savory sauce-out of this world. We ending with chocolate mouse and salted Carmel gelato. To say I will be back is an understatement. I will visit Naples Fl soon!!! read more

My wife & very dear friends were visiting in Naples, Alberto's came highly recommended however [[HIGHLIGHT]]there was a very loud group of patrons at the bar which disturbed the entire restaurant causing patrons to move their tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I spoke with the manager during & after our dinner with no real response except I'm sorry. We all decided to leave as well. The food presentation was excellent along with the quality of the food. Managenent needs an education, & how to try to keep a customer to return. Very sad!!

Seeking Seafood in Naples, Florida. Many restaurants closed first two weeks in September. Thank goodness for Alberto's and server Fernando, who let me in just as they were closing! Healthy, fresh organic options to ponder. Fernando gave excellent advice, the Lobster and Shrimp Salad was scrumptious and I left happy. read more

This was our first time here. Service was good, but not great. I think at this price point having a waiter stop and really speak with you about the menu would be nice. Ours was distracted, went over specials while filling our water. Zero personality and felt a bit like we were bothering him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is pretty bright -yellow lighting and crowded, lots of tables in a small space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The waiter at the table next to us kept bumping into my chair and he kept looking at me like I wasn't in the right place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The appetizers were all amazing! So we were off to a good start! Caprese had a nice basil drizzle, the prosciutto was fresh. We had a long wait between apps and ordering. Once we ordered food came in a timely manner. The main meals were mixed. Tuna and chicken I would advise against. Seared ahi doesn't really pair with potatoes and Brussels. Just a weird combination of flavors and the fish had zero seasoning. Just plain fish. The chicken wasn't very flavorful either, bland. The lamb and steak were excellent and cooked really well, seasoned well too. The lamb came with a mushroom sauce on the side and that was brought when I was half way done so that was a miss. We had another long wait between getting the dessert menus and ordering so we needed up skipping dessert. Was really looking forward to eating here, it felt like it was supposed to be a quintessential Naples experience. Felt more like they just move tourists through. read more

This continues to be my favorite restaurant ever in Naples. Not sure I want to rave about it since you can still get reservations during season. The red beet salad is so fresh and flavorful. The veal melts in your mouth. You must ask for Emily and/or Claire to wait on you. They anticipate what you want before you even know it. Alberto's is unsung in Naples! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed sitting outside right along 5th Ave![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Slave was very attentive and helped me narrow down my decision. And he made an excellent recommendation! read more

I have always enjoyed my meals at Alberto's, I went there Friday evening, I made my reservation on Open Table for 3 inside and it was confirmed. I was told it was confirmed for two, the woman at the hostess stand asked to see my phone, while I was getting it she helped the next person, I showed her my confirmation for 3 inside, she accused me of changing the reservation. I told her I didn't she continued to argue, I said are you accusing me of lying she said Well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had to take a table outside. It was a cold night and since I thought we were sitting inside didn't bring a jacket. They had heaters but they didn't work well, there were others sitting outside complaining of slime issues[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], I didn't get her name but she was young with long dark hair. The food has always been excellent and Friday's dinner was great just too cold to be eating outside when you were confirmed for inside. read more

Alberto's on 5th in Naples makes quite the case for dining out on a budget that doesn't feel like a budget. Their Early Bird-Late Night special--two courses and a glass of wine for $39--sets the stage for an evening that manages to feel indulgent without breaking the bank. Appetizers opened strong for my dinner companion, who ordered mussels and made short work of them with visible delight, later mentioning the broth could have used some oomph. I chose the burrata, which was perfectly fine but underwhelming--lacking the acid and seasoning that would have lifted it from "cheese and ham" to something memorable. Of course, it was still cheese and ham, so I wasn't exactly suffering. For mains, my New York strip was delicious in flavor but once again could have used more seasoning. The potatoes underneath it were dense, almost stiff, and not the most inspired pairing. Meanwhile, the tagliatelle with pesto and U10 scallops was a table triumph. The pasta was silky and spot-on, and although I didn't try the scallops, their size, color, and my companion's near-rapturous praise told me all I needed to know. Wine-wise, I went for the house Pinot Noir and was pleasantly surprised--it was smooth, easy to drink, and frankly too good for a "house" pour. My dinner companion doubled down on the Merlot, which she enjoyed enough to order a second glass. I'll take her word for it. Merlot and I have never been on speaking terms. Service was a highlight. Our server was warm, attentive, and seemed to genuinely enjoy his work--so much so that he doubled as a photographer for another table, gamely snapping a dozen shots without missing a beat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms, too, were spotless and thoughtfully maintained, which never goes unnoticed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All told, Alberto's isn't perfect--seasoning seems to be their shyest kitchen hand--but the value, service, and charm are undeniable. At $39 a head, you leave satisfied, a little spoiled, and wondering how they pull it off. read more

Looking for a fantastic local, owner operated spot in the busy tourist area of Naples? Look no further than Alberto's on Fifth. We happened upon this place while meandering up and down 5th looking at all the menus and ambiences of many places. The menu and warm atmosphere drew us in. After bing greeted by a very friendly young lady, we sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Sophie who took care of us the entire evening. She poured us beautiful martinis and explained the menu and this history of Alberto's and his northern Italian roots and cuisine. Homemade pasta made our choice easy and we ordered fettuccine with seafood in a red sauce and pappardelle with short rib and shaved ricotta. Yes, they were as decadent as they sound and priced very reasonably! We agreed that with the atmosphere, service and food all being outstanding we gave it a 10. read more

The food at Alberto's on fifth is absolutely delicious! Service is outstanding! Early dining two course meal including a glass of wine for $44 is an unbelievable value for Naples Florida. Thank you Alberto for bringing your delicious meals to fifth Avenue! read more

The food was very good though a bit on the pricey side. Drinks were good & bread was delicious. For such an upscale restaurant, we were very surprised at how cold & distant our server was. He never smiled, didn't engage us at all & seemed annoyed to be there. We are usually generous with tips, but not for him..... read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location and good restaurant and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are high. Delicious bread brought to the table with soft butter. Ordered the Agnolotti $28 and husband enjoyed it. I ordered the Taglierini Pesto Crab $41 and it was beautiful with plenty of crab. Just not a fan of pesto and wish I would have asked the server if the pesto sauce could have been substituted. Overall a very pleasant delicious experience ! read more

We visited Alberto's the week of Christmas - it was warmly decorated and the service staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and well versed in fine dining. We enjoyed a bottle of Chianti, perfectly seared jumbo roasted sea scallops with onion confit & velvety lobster sauce, Pillowy homemade ravioli stuffed with veal and smothered in truffle oil & porcini mushrooms and their homemade tiramisu. It was truly a fantastic four course meal and a classic Italian way to ring in the holiday We've dined at several Naples & SWFL Italian eateries and Alberto's was very, very delicious! We'll be back! read more

The bartender who works most evenings is the most unfriendly and rudest bartender I have ever had in Naples. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the ambiance of Alberto's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and they used to have a good happy hour, but lately they have really cut back on the quality and the quantity of the entrees they serve. I ordered a chicken marsala and my friend ordered pasta. My entree came out stone cold and the marsala sauce was so heavy it was like brown chicken soup. I let the bartender know and she could not have been ruder. She sent it back to the kitchen and it came out even worse. I called the day after to express my concerns as I thought the Manager would want to know given I have gone to Alberto's several times over the season, and that is when I learned the Manager is the bartender. She lived up to her rude and abrasive behavior. They lost a good customer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope the owner reads reviews and figures out the reason the bar is always empty every time I've been there is most likely because they have such a horrible bartender and Manager.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice decor and attentive staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is well prepared though expensive. Had the pasta with mushroom and sausage along with the spinach salad. The former was tasty though basic but the spinach salad with figs? Outstanding! read more

Alberto's on 5th Avenue South in Naples. We dine there at least once a month. We enjoy the early dining menu. The early menu is perfect for older people. The choices are an appetizer and main. A complementary glass of wine is included. My wife had the beet and shrimp salad and the salmon, both were delicious. I had the soup and steak. We shared a crème brûlée dessert. I made the reservation and a question was asked, "is this a special occasion?" I answered in the affirmative. As it was my wife's birthday. My request was never acknowledged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We will continue dining at Alberto's it is an almost elegant dining room. Appropriate seasonal decorations are always present and very attractive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had an outside table just perfect for people watching.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My spouse had the swordfish and thought it was fabulous. Perfectly prepared with a Mediterranean type tomato sauce and mashed potatoes and she loved every part of it. I had the veal ravioli with mushroom sauce and it was prepared wonderfully. What I discovered was you got a really love mushrooms if you order this dish. I liked it, and I eat it with relish, but did learn that I have a reasonably high tolerance for mushrooms, which this meal comes right to the edge of. It was absolutely nothing wrong with this meal just my preference. Service was quite good very polite and very attentive. We've been to Alberto's a number of times and always find the food to be terrific. read more

Early bird special with appetizer and entre with a glass of wine was good and reasonable. Enjoyed this restaurant.

Not as good as it used to be, brought many friends over the years. Also, pretty embarrassing that a classy restaurant has to nickel and dime you for a surcharge for using a credit card. Most upscale restaurants do not charge, but this one did. read more

Service was excellent as was the food! One of my favorite restaurants. Cocktails were perfect read more

Large menu, very good pasta dishes, really fresh fish dishes as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside a outside dining, hostess was very accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It's been on our list to try for a while now. Wish we could take back that visit. Service was ok but the food was pure trash. So many better options on 5th, shocked this place is even open. Cocktails pure garbage. We had ordered many different entrees from lamb chops to various pastas and the red snapper. All sounded great on paper but were all bland and flavorless. Side pet peeve of mine if the 3% credit card fee, I'm already wasting $400 for dinner at your establishment, just increase your prices by 3%, for some reason I would rather that then to see a line item for the credit card fee, but maybe that's just me. Sufficed to say we won't ever recommend or revisit this place again. read more

I loved everything we ate. The food and service were excellent. Great for on a budget. Their Early Bird Late Night was only $39.00 per person. read more

Great early bird special! You get an entree, appetizer, and a glass of wine for $39. The only thing is that you need to place your order between 4:30-5:30. I got the mussels and New York strip steak, both of which were very good. I'd definitely get again! The service is great and the decor around the holidays is festive. There's a bunch of street parking and parking garages around as well! read more

Ok, we're baaack. I got over myself from the last visit. LOL. When it comes to great entrees I really can't let an occasional upset ruin it for me. We couldn't stop laughing as we sat down very early on for the Early Dining menu. Our waiter for the third time was once again....you guessed it, Antonio! He was very attentive and we've come to accept him and not let it get in the way. No complaints about that anymore. We had a nice time. The food is exceptional. We have some of our favorites most times. It is soo good. The only entree that my wife decided to try differently, the Chicken with Marsala sauce she wasn't crazy about. Said it looked great but not much of a taste. Didn't finish the entree which is unheard of in our life. But the spinach salad with fig and ricotta her fave and always great. Three others had that salad and will get that the next time. I had the usual Burrata with ham for my third time. A beautiful place, and Antonio, if you're listening, it all went well and we appreciate it. Will bring others there as I've often told people to try this place. Some have and I'll be back sooner. We don't always leave a review. But if new to the area, don't miss this. Very comfortable place as well. Never felt rushed. There for some time. You're going to love it. read more

As we sit in the restaurant now, as our second time in three days, the food is extraordinary, however, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the music is to be desired. I feel like I'm in a club in Italy and it's not quite matching the vibe of the exquisiteness of the food and soothing decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And [[HIGHLIGHT]]the music is coming from a kiss FM radio station.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please change it before we return in February March because we would love to come back to the restaurant, but the music needs to match the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you. read more

The food beyond amazing. Fresh pasta that melts in your mouth. The four of us had 4 different sauces, all spectacular. Berkshire pork chop was amazing . The salads were so interesting and different and delicious. You could make a meal of each of them alone. The service (Fernando) waiter the best. Described everything to a tee and recommended perfectly. Run to Albert's on Fifth. You won't be sorry. read more

Alberto's is a favorite of our friends who reside in the area part of the year. The restaurant is elegant with a touch of hip due to it's location. Service was friendly and efficient throughout our meal. We did a mix of the early dinner along with an added entree from the regular menu. Appetizers Roasted​ Red Beet Salad marinated with fresh Florida Orange and Sautéed Shrimp Fresh Burrata Cheese Steamed Mussels in a Light Tomato Sauce Mid Course Lobster risotto- this is an entree of the regular menu which we shared. It was excellent. Entrees Homemade Pillow Shaped Pasta stuffed with Spinach & Ricotta Cheese in a Mascarpone & Parmesan Cream sauce Grilled 5oz Angus New York Steak with sautéed Spinach Grilled Filet of Atlantic Salmon served with asparagus With so many restaurants on Fifth Avenue, Alberto's still manages to stand out. read more

Alberto's On Fifth - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

We went for the early bid special (ends at 5:30). Was such a great experience! We get a glass of house wine, an appetizer and a main meal. I had the beet salad which has oranges and shrimp. It was so refreshing and delicious and a great light app to start my meal. For my main course I had the homemade pillow shaped pasta . The pasta was so delicious and the sauce was so tasty. Save some bread to scoop the sauce up at the end because you do not want to waste it! It was not very crowded at the Tuesday early bird, maybe 4 to 5 tables (including ours) were occupied and the wait staff was so quick and so nice. Would come back here again!! read more

Most delicious food, not overpriced just quality, tasty amazing food. Chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots was incredible. The chicken was so juicy and tender and flavorful as well as the potatoes and carrots. The bolognese was excellent as was the boneless short ribs and salmon dishes. The bread was yummy and warm and the caprese salad was fresh and delicious. You will love the food and ambience and very friendly service. read more

Food is amazing just did not like the added 20% gratuity that was automatically added on for parties of 8. We ended up only being 6 people, so we asked the waiter to adjust our bill. read more

I love this place. We just moved to the area and have dined here twice already and can't wait to go back. A beautiful restaurant with professional servers. The daily early dinner is a great deal so take advantage of it. The food is delicious. We have enjoyed the pasta bolognese and the salmon. The salads are generous and tasty. We tried both the fig salad and the house salad. Wine accompanies the special and you are given a generous glass of your choice of house wine. The servers are friendly and professional. They know the menu and take great care of their guests. We can't wait to go back again soon. You won't be disappointed. read more

Been looking to try this place for a while as they are the only place that makes Vitello Tonnato...If you know what it is you will run there...Service is on point with Fernando and Victor..Food is at another level..i am not a big fan of 5th ave .but this place deserves 10 stars..BATTS loves this place.. read more

I made reservations at Alberto's for my mom's birthday. When we were seated, I mentioned to our waiter, Fernando, that it was her birthday. Immediately, Fernando says, "just to notify you, we don't give free desserts"--how rude!! We didn't ask for anything for free and his comment made things awkward. I ordered a mojito and my mom had red wine. Fernando decided to pour the carafe of red wine two feet above the glass and splashed it all over the table. Totally bizarre. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and the food is excellent. We ordered the spinach & ricotta agnolotti and pesto taglierini. Both dishes were delicious. After the birthday dessert that we happily paid for, another waiter, Antonio, approached our table. He segued from wishing my mom a happy birthday to asking me out with his business card. It was just the cherry on top of a strange dinner. read more
