This restaurant is one of our favorites . We love their Margarita pizza . We always sit at the bar due to its much quieter and quainter . The bartender Natalia is wonderful with a great personality and attitude. She had a full bar as well as taking care of the servers drinks. She never missed a beat. When a male bartender eventually joined her , he was not even close to the welcoming personality as Natalia . He seemed to be simply in the way . We have had other food there , which was also delicious. Yet we usually stay with our Margarita pizza . I would recommend this restaurant and I have several times to family and friends. read more

Great lunch special!! $16.95 for your entree and a glass of wine!! I had the Parma sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. It was prosciutto arugula, and fresh Parmesan. The bread was toasted to perfection!! the service was quick and absolutely loved the vibes here on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Had a most pleasant dinner here. The location is very nice. A very nice restaurant just behind this - market - was closed and we originally wanted to go there. Again, the food was good but just expensive. We did not make it for happy hours, so it was just expensive. I have the pizza which was good, we also had two other dished and some wine. The wine was over priced and just ok- overall if the price was 30% less, wine 40% less, it would be a good place. Seems the restaurateurs in Naples are trying pay for their multi-million dollar houses by over charging. read more

Ok here's one of my best kept secrets so Shhhhh ! I love, love, love Happy Hour especially at Barbatello's on 3rd in Naples! Honestly again, one of the best kept secrets in Naples! I set up on the beach walk over to Happy Hour from 3pm-6pm daily and then walk back for the amazing sunset over the water! $4 Peroni's on tap?!?? Honestly, it doesn't get better! You're welcome and save me a seat please read more

Not worthy of a visit. At a table of 6, we would rate 5 of the meals as average, and one as unacceptable. The half lobster on the $52 seafood platter was inedible due to overcooking. It also had one unopened mussel, and a rotten clam. This platter should never have made it out of the kitchen. However, the worst part was the manager's response to our complaint. Although the meal was comped, the manager's response to the complaint was to say that no one has ever complained about the seafood platter. Some positives; the cocktails and the appetizers were good. But this restaurant is not worthy of it's location in downtown Naples. read more

Delighted to find a great place to dine with 3 young grandchildren! Wonderful choices in food and they loved it all!!! Right there you can tell Barbatella knows how to prepare fabulous meals, plus in a lovely setting in gorgeous old Naples, FL! read more

The women with an accent answered phone and was very curt with my sister. Informed her that there was an event and there was no outside seating. Our waiter Michael was pleasant enough but when I informed him that the lasagna had ricotta cheese in it not the bechemel that it specifically states in the menu and which I may add they say is one of their specialties he couldn't have cared less. Not only did he not apologize he actually tried to argue about it. I have traveled and eaten all over the world and have never been spoken to with such irrelevance. The artichoke Caesar salad was small, dry and not many artichoke hearts. when we asked for bread it came with no butter or oil. There was no ambiance we were at a high top table in the middle of the bar. It was loud , uncomfortable and very over priced for less than average food. We won't be back and definitely will not recommend and we are not snow birds. Good luck Elizabeth Auer read more

This deserves no more than 3 stars for a few very specific reasons. Although the chicken parm and the eggplant app (tiny but tasty) was very good, the menu for the lasagna clearly lists "bechamel" but it's just cheap ricotta instead. It was an obvious difference, the reason 2 in our party ordered it, and when we asked the waiter he admitted it, brushed it off and said that's just what most places do. Inside is also very small and loud. I would have given 4 stars since most was very good, but this lasagna issue was ridiculous and unfortunately, typical these days. read more

The food was pretty good and the service was well. The pizza was a little bit undercooked and the cheese fell off. It was the classic Italian American restaurant. read more

I ordered the bolognese. It was pasta, watery marinara and almost no meat -- approximatelu 1 tsp of cooked meat in the dish. Oviously they are cheapening their dishes to accommodate whatever financial constraints they are having. We used to go to Barbatella frequently. it's not our first disappointing meal this season. No butter or oil was served with the bread, which unfortunately I had to eat because there was no protein in my dish. read more

What's better than 100 layer lasagna this special that they have on occasion is a must have. it is so light and flavorful perfectly crafted. We enjoyed last night with several friends that have not experienced it and we all agreed it was the best lasagna experience at a restaurant. Great setting outside perfect service from our waitress. Great drinks delicious wine all in all an awesome night in Naples read more

Great outdoor dinning place with a friendly wait staff and several (improvised) vegetarian options. Good selection of reasonably priced cocktails. Solid B+ for the Mario's Negroni. Vegetarian pizza's toppings were fresh and delicious. All vegetarian options were suggested by our very friendly waiter who just made the dinner more special by anticipating our asks. read more

A hidden gem! We missed the happy hour, but were so glad we came. The exterior is beautiful with lots of outdoor seating and a fountain. The interior is just gorgeous with green walls and beautiful light fixtures and a large bar. We ordered wine and the chef's 3 course prefixe menu. The service was nothing to write home about, but it was not bad. The eggplant Parmesan and meatballs were both excellent starters. The swordfish had out of this world flavors with the whipped buratta potatoes and pine nuts. It was the best swordfish I've ever had! My husband enjoyed the pasta primavera. The sundae for dessert really blew me away, so many wonderful flavors and a huge portion size. The doughnuts were a miss. Overall, I would definitely come back to enjoy the prefixe menu- a great price at $39. read more

Is this for real. 1 star only because the bartender is amazing. How do u charge what u do for food when it looks like this. Taste is average. But wow. I bought food for my family. Paid $100 for 3 dishes. Don't care about spending money for food. For FOOD... all i can say is won't be back. Embarrassing really. And this was early. Not busy. And dont say it's because it's in a togo box. Look at the measurements. Ur welcome. Plated no different. And if so even more embarrassing. read more

Barbatella - Ambiance - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

We went to Naples yesterday and had lunch and dinner, and dinner was at this establishment. The outside patio ambiance was beautiful. The inside restaurant was nice and interesting but a little small. Our waiter was a great guy, smile, welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The food came out fast without any kind of delays. The wine we had was fantastic. Now the Italian food . We had lasagna, eggplant appetizer, and pasta alla Norma. If I was a guessing man, there is not an Italian chef in that kitchen. If you all don't mind I would like to keep this food portion simple for this review because the only negative is the food and maybe some people care more about service and ambiance and might not be as picky with the authenticity of Italian dishes. So back to the dishes themselves simply the sauce was chunks of tomato not cooked and everything needed salt and more love, let's just stop there. I think the patio and service was nice, but I cannot return because of the lack of authenticity in their Italian dishes. Food 5.5 on the Italian dishes Ambiance 9.0 outside Service 9.0 read more

This restaurant is gorgeous. Lovely outdoor patio, stellar service by Vanessa as well as our busser. Food was amazing, my salmon was cooked to perfection. Best Ceasar salad I have ever eaten. The other great thing was that they were willing to alter the entree and salad to accommodate my picky husband. Negatives , it's crazy loud inside . As the restaurant got busier, the noise escalated. Acoustics inside are not great so carrying on a conversation is a big no. Then there was the line to the bathroom that stood by our table which made me believe there was one stall in the men's room. Still, the food and the service and the gorgeous ambiance made it a place I would definitely drive from Ft Myers to dine at again. Next time dining outside.... read more

Over all I'm giving this place a 3 because the pizza in their online photo looked nothing like and tastes nothing like a traditional Neopolitan pizza, which is what I googled and expected. The main reason we went there was because our favorite pizza place, La Trattoria was closed. The restaurant interior is adorable, with a huge bar and outdoor dining. We were the only ones there inside, except there were two families outside when we first artived. Lastly, the service was good and the waitress was very polite. If they want to know how Neopolitan pizza is done, they need to get training from the staff at La Trattoria. read more

Very solid Italian spot on 3rd. A bit more relaxed and cheaper than Campiello's, it has a gelato take out to boot. We tried the dried cherry radicchio and arugula salad and a classic pasta rigatoni and were very satisfied with the nice bits of guanciale and al dente pasta. Pleasant bartenders with half off wine bottles under $100 on Wednesday night! read more

Barbells in Naples! Great place with great food! Fantastic service! Fresh! Outside but covered. Great fun place. Just be ready for a bit of sticker shock when you get the bill, the only negative and I was the only one not drinking alcohol at the table because I was driving. Great experience just plan for the extra money! read more

Consistently one of the best for food, service and setting! We brought a coworker who was in town here. The Octopus appetizer was so good. He loved that and the Pizza. We also had the Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Pasta always my favorite. Thanks for another great meal. Highly Recommend. read more

We ordered carry out, as we had just arrived in old Naples. The online ordering was non descriptive for the pizzas. Needs work on that aspect. We had wonderful drinks at the bar while waiting for our order. The pizzas were good. In St. Louis, it is hard to beat our pizza style. We needed more spice, garlic and sauce. Just a different foody vibe. The beauty of this place in the Italians style, was impeccable. Worth another visit. read more

excellent food, superior service, very loud acoustics. Mario went out of his way to accommodate us.

The chicken parm was the most tasteless, dry meal I ever had- literally no flavor at all! Caesar was good- Lasagna was ok! read more

It's been awhile since I had a meal here. Every once in awhile I'll go to the bar during happy hour and I think I will stick to that. This place is way overpriced for just average food. I had the Linguine Vongole which is basically linguine with clams, cherry tomatoes and basil. Nothing special and not too flavorful. Some of the friends with me ordered pizza, which looked good but I didn't try any. So a small pasta dish and a glass of wine was $60 which included a small tip. I say small because with such inflated food prices (not just here but everywhere in Naples) servers automatically get more in tips, but now 20% is considered minimum. I don't agree. Plus now tips are not being taxed. I think we have to rethink our tipping culture here in the U.S. Sorry, this is not Barbatella's fault so I'll stick to the rating here. Average. However the ambiance is nice being in downtown Naples (thus the nosebleed prices for average food). read more

Really disappointed, been coming here for a long time and had a very rude waiter. I asked about the buy one get one pizza night for Mondays that I had gotten the week before and he snipped and said oh it's in season we don't do that anymore only in the summer time. I told him how I had gotten it the prior week and I believe sometime in March and he said that I was wrong and that wasn't true. He could have been very nice about it as was I but was not. I don't think I will be coming back for a while now. read more

Making our way to the downtown area we stopped and put our name in for a table. 30 min wait was easy, gave us a chance to walk around. This was our third time at Barbatella's and it's has always been wonderful. Seating either inside or outside will give you good views. The service has always been great and quick. Our party of six ordered pizza, salmon and pasta dishes. Great tasting! This night there was live music and it made the dining even better. By the way, the Peroni beer is very cold from the tap. Make sure you stop by and give them a try and enjoy every bite. read more

I want to start by saying this is the first review I have ever written. I have traveled the wold and have never delt with such rude management in my life. From the start the man and woman that greeted us at the hostess stand were absolutely awful. They treated us like we weren't paying patrons and couldn't care less about our business. If our children weren't starving I would have left. After dealing with the awful treatment the food was completely Inedible. The kids Mac n cheese was bland. They chicken fingers were awful and the adult entrees were tasteless. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place with all costs. read more

We recently had dinner at Barbatella and were very disappointed. We have always dined there in the past and was one of our favorite restaurants. We absolute love the bar area and the outdoor patio seating. We requested outdoor seating with our reservation but upon arrival we were told there were no tables available. We were seated indoors which was not to our liking. Unfortunately this was not the case this time. First off and totally unacceptable was the fact that our server suggested a Cabernet wine which was $30 a glass which we only realized when we got our check. The pasta Carbonara was very watery instead of a thick sauce which is the way it should be served. My husband was disappointed in is linguine and clams entree. read more

pizza was very good. waitstaff was accommodating, especially Miss Vittoria. location and interior is very nice.

Told the host we wanted to grab a drink, they asked if we wanted to sit inside at the bar or outside we chose outside. We then proceeded to order drinks and told the server we weren't doing food. The server then sent his manager over to yell at us and tell us if we wanted just to drink we should have sat at the bar. Made us feel totally out of place and like we had done something wrong despite being very clear with the host. Also, it wasn't like the place was overflowing with customers, there were plenty of open tables. Not an ideal way to treat at transparent paying customer. Can't speak to the food but can confirm the drinks come with a side of bitters. read more

I rarely write reviews but I was so disappointed with my experience at Barbatella, I felt the need to share. For starters, our server rushed us to put in our appetizer and entrees at the same time upon arrival. And then she didn't check on us until we got our entrees. The only reason we were able to get a second drink was because the hostess came by and asked. We ordered calamari which consisted of a handful of sad pieces thrown on a plate, best part of the calamari was the fried artichoke. I ordered chicken parmesan which was a large piece of thickly breaded chicken, topped with pasta and chewy mozzarella cheese. Extremely bland. The only redeeming quality in terms of service was that our waitress offered me a different entree - I ordered the salmon. Also very bland. My friend ordered the linguine vongole. She said it was okay but he believes it made him sick since she didn't feel well that night and the next day. Anyway, we expected better food and service from a restaurant on 3rd. Won't be returning. I think we would have had a better experience at carrabbas lol read more

We have been to Barbatella's about five times now and each time has been consistently good, until last night when everything was great except my son's steak which was ordered medium and arrived well done. Good selection of appetizers, mains and desserts. Their Amarena Margarita is tasty but very sweet. read more
