Had my first wedding dress fitting nextdoor and we couldn't wait to have lunch here! Loved the lunch special of the 2 or 3 course special. I had the 3 course special. With the French onion soup, shrimp as my entree and they count the wine as the 3rd course, yes please you can had dessert for $4. My mom and split the wonderful crème brûlée! My parents enjoyed their lunch. And of course we had to start with the escargot ... so well deserved for standing still while they pinned my dress :-) Can't wait to come back in August! I'll get the champagne to toast for the final fitting! Service was good. My mom booked lunch reservations. But we didn't need them as we were informed when we walked in.

Filet de Boeuf Sauce au Poivre was tender and delicious.

Wow. What a great French cuisine experience! We had a party of 5 and had heard good things about Café Normandie. We made a reservation by calling the restaurant and we're seated quickly after arrival. A couple of different servers took care of us and they were awesome and super attentive. They have a great wine list that includes many French selections at very reasonable prices. The menu consists of a lot of French favorites. We ordered an appetizer and also an order of the Crevettes so that we could all share it. The Crevettes are spectacular - I highly recommend as a meal. My son was really hoping to have Dover Sole, and it was there. That dish is absolutely fantastic and prepared table-side. Everything we ordered, from the French onion soup, to the fillet, to the fish dishes were all delicious. There are many French food options in Naples but Cafe Normandie stands out. It is a small restaurant but definitely worth a visit.

We had a phenomenal dining experience here. From the professionalism and hospitality of the servers, to the authenticity, flavor, and preparation of our meal, it was really enjoyable. This was actually the first time we had a French meal together, my last was in Paris! And Bo's first time. We started with their homemade soups, I had the Cream of Leek, such great flavor and consistency. Bo enjoyed the French Onion with pungent cheese and well prepared broth. We LOVED their unique artichoke salad, with fresh goat cheese, arugula, olives, and pesto. Fantastic. I went with the classic duck al orange and so happy I went old school, perfectly cooked duck and incredibly flavorful sauce. The veggies and potatoes au gratin were melt in your mouth. We loved the mousse de chocolat but would skip the crème brûlée next time. The espresso was a great way to cap off the evening. We'll be back!!!

I went here for my birthday with my dad. It was amazing! The service was phenomenal and the servers were very personable. We both had the duck and I ordered the escargot. It was a great experience and reminded me of actually being in a French bistro

I've been in Florida for months now, and sometimes I just really miss New York. I find that I miss New York the most around, well, meal times. The food in Naples is OK. There are a few restaurants that I think make quality food, but 90% of these places wouldn't hack it a week in the Big Apple. And that is the crux of the issue, right? Naples is expensive and you aren't usually getting your money's worth at dinner. Also, you want to "vote with your dollar", to let the truly great places stay open. So, with that said, onto the review: We booked a reservation at Cafe Normandie on a whim and didn't know what to expect. The first thing we noticed is how impeccably clean this place is? No, seriously. It is very well-kept, which is a sign that the staff cares. Our server was very helpful and thoughtful with her recommendations; she helped us select a bottle of wine that we really enjoyed. We ordered escargot and French onion soup as appetizers and the beef bourguignon and the crevettes & st-jacques gratin as entrees. As our plates were being taken away, my partner asked if we finally found a place that rivals the restaurants in New York?! The first place this reminded me of was not New York. In fact, it most reminded me of one of my favorite places in Paris. Yes - it's that good. A further non-food note, but over time, I have realized the importance of patronizing places that have (most importantly) amazing food, but ALSO fantastic staffs. Do I really want to give nasty people my money? No, I don't. I can attest to the fact that the staff here really cares. At the end of the night (around closing) I had a question about a French cookie that I've been trying to bake, and the chef himself came out to talk to me about it. If you aren't convinced, I don't know what to tell you. Please stop going to the overpriced places (you know the ones) with mediocre food and indifferent staff. Get yourself a nice meal for half the price and double the quality here. Thank me later.

We started with a slice of homemade country pate which transported us to a French country inn. Next came the appetizer course. Among the three of us, we had an escargot, a special artichoke salad avec pesto and prosciutto and a salad lyonnaise. My artichoke salad was a bit sloppy but tasty. Too many elements in one plate--olives, warm artichoke leaves, goat cheese, onions,etc. Decent escargot. On to the mains: delicious! Special venison cooked perfectly. Sides for all main were a potatoes au gratin and mixed melange of veggies with garlic. Delicious chicken with perfect crispy skin. All in all a delicious, nicely served French meal.

It was our first time at Cafe Normandie, what a memorable experience. First we were greeted bye the owner herself and that started an amazing evening. Our appetizers, French onion soup and the Normandie Pate. Both incredibly delicious. The soup was fresh, gooey and very tasty. The pate was just delectable with the mustard, greens and accompaniments. Our mains, the Red Snapper Normandie as well as the Scallops were both delicious and plentiful. The snapper, skin nice and crisp, the accompaniments were plentiful and flavorful. The scallops were seared to perfection and layered with an amazing sauce. To finalize the experience we had the mousse de chocolate and a hazelnut dessert both were the perfect end to a great meal. We will definitely return as the food was epic and the experience even better. The chef, owner and staff were all very attentive and friendly.

Alas, we only get to eat here once a year or so now, since we no longer live on Naples.

Have eaten here often. Always enjoyed wonderful food. Service is good, however they do not pay attention to your requests. This has been an issue on several occasions due to food allergy. This evening, a bit of a surprise when perusing our bill at home, we noticed they had added an 18% gratuity even though we were a party of four. We had actually added a 20% cash gratuity based on the actual cost prior to promotional special. We felt a bit insulted they felt we did not know the protocol for gratuities. read more

A typical French bistro; excellent food, shaky service. The bread is worth a visit by itself, none better in Naples. Outside appearance belies what is inside. Forget everything else and concentrate on the menu. For lunch the sandwiches are 5 star. Only negative is the need to tackle the waiter as she/he goes flying by. There is always a large lunch crowd,no matter the season,but the wait staff is not at full strength putting a strain on the diners needing to get back to work......yes, some people do work in Naples. read more

Were I to go to the chair tomorrow, I would want this place to be my last lunch. The smoked salmon sandwich is culinary perfection. I would not normally write a review about a sandwich but something so simple being this good is a marvel. I have been going to this place to years, any time I am in Naples it is the first place I want to go. It is the only place in the states I have found that truly feels like France.

We made reservations at CN on our last night in Naples. The restaurant is small and intimate, and the serves were attentive and knowlegable. The food was to die for. We started with the pear and chevre salad, which was prepared in an exquisite fashion and was delightful. We followed that with the Seared Tuna with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach (the special for the evening). We hated to finish this course, so good was it. We then had traditional Crepe Suzettes for dessert and they were a perfect ending to a marvelous meal. This was by far the best eating experience we had in Naples and we expect to be regulars when we travel there. We highly recommend this restaurant. It is truely deserving of 5 stars. read more

We went to Cafe Normandie on our last night in Naples and I have to say the food was very good. My husband thought the menu was a little small but as long as we both found something we wanted to try, I was willing to take a chance and go there for dinner. The owner came to our table, introduced himself and was very friendly. I liked that. We started off with the escargots and mussels which were both very good. For our main course I had the shrimp and sea scallops au gratin and my husband had the poulet a la sauce moutarte. I guess he enjoyed his food because he didn't even offer me a bite and cleaned his plate. The only disappointment I had was that the salad was a little wilted and soggy, not impressed, and the crepe pomme was a little dry. No problem, next time I'll have to try something else for dessert. But overall the meal was very enjoyable. read more

I was in a group of 7 last evening (Christmas Eve) and we all very much enjoyed our evening. The food, the service, the desserts and the drinks were all great. The waiter/owner allowed us to sit and enjoy our meal and didn't hurry us along at all. I had the shrimp and scallops and really enjoyed them. I also had the escargot as an appetizer and the best ever. Give them a chance to prove themselves because you won't regret it. read more

How would you feel being serenated by Nat King Cole's "When I Fall In Love" while devouring your Boeuf Bourguignon with a glass of red wine from C'ote Du Rhone? The venue is quaint with Provence charm. The food is more on the side of comfort as prepared by a friend than an urban upscale joint with Top Chef Master. I did finished everything on my plate with satisfaction. The service leaves no room for complaint; attentive and genuine. Background exchanges and conversations in French among the owner, the server, the chef; the singer and even some of the patrons, enhanced the total experience even more, temporarily taking you to a small village somewhere in South of France. Again, you have to appreciate the place for what it is instead of comparing it to something that it's not even trying to be. I'm only here on business but if I'm in Naples again; I would return. p.s.: Live solo guitarist/singer on Tue & Wed evenings. read more

I just had to update my review. The first review I wrote was about our experience having dinner here now I am writing another review in regards to our lunch we just had this weekend. All I can say is WOW! the crepes were delicious and our friend had the quiche Lorraine and it was superb! I cannot say enough about this restaurant if you read the other reviews please don't take them to heart if I did I would not have tried this restaurant and what a loss that would have been. The food either at lunch or dinner is outstanding and the service matches the food. I can say for sure I will make this one of my favorite places in Naples to eat and that says a lot since I have so many restaurants to choose from.

A little bit of France, just like a little cafe in any town in France where the locals eat. Lunch and Dinner. The owner is French from Normandie so the cooking reflects that regions style. Real butter and cream are used in the cooking so the taste buds are quickly turned on. For Lunch to die for is the Tomato Tarte. The quiches and sandwiches are great. Dinner the petite 4's are scrumptious and the roast Duck and the Beef Bourguignon are just like you would get in France. Dessert you have to try the Tartre Tatin (Apple Tarte), I have had many in France and this is as good as it gets. The wines are well priced and great representations of French culture. read more

The Atmosphere: The restaurant itself looks really nice and has a good setup. However, I would definitely avoid sitting outside in the back area because the flies and little bugs will attack your food while you are trying to eat. The Experience: The service was good overall. They were training a new employee and he actually did a really good job. The staff stayed friendly and attentive throughout the visit. Overall Score: 2 Stars

Rachel was our server made some wonderful suggestions and we started with The Grilled California Artichokes, with an aioli. Followed by their version of Deviled Eggs and sugar bacon with the most amazing bacon! I ordered the Shangra La roll and Firecracker Sushi roll. My wife ordered the cederwood planned salmon with a side of crispy Brussels sprouts. So during our service there was a shift change and Anelia became our server. first time I had been to a fine dinning establishment where that occurred, But she came over and introduced her self and it worked out fine and seamless. Our food came with a nice presentation, The Firecracker rolls were very nice a little heavy on the avocado as opposed to the Spicy tuna on top. The second roll was the crazy Tuna, the fish was very fresh and tasty. The Salmon was cooked nicely and the spinach was well cooked to perfection. The Crispy Brussels sprouts were not crispy but tasty. The Filet mignon Cooked medium was perfect for our birthday boy and the crab cake was all lump meat. Nice relaxing fine dining with a busy bar!

Tragic. Food and drinks? Excellent across the board. French dip was on point, burger either an over easy egg snd multiple apps disappeared quickly, baked potato done right, and the espresso martinis were dangerously good. Major shout-out to Ashley behind the bar -- absolute pro -- though honestly the entire bar staff deserves applause. Watching the bartenders run the room is like watching a choreographed ballet. They somehow keep a mental spreadsheet of the waitlist, open seats, timing, and guest flow, seamlessly slotting people in without chaos or drama. It's impressive, calm, and clearly run by people who know exactly what they're doing. Now, to the inevitable dog commentary: yes, restaurants have rules. Yes, health codes exist. And no, a dog in a baby stroller is not a service animal. That stroller should be reserved for, stay with me here, babies. Leave your dog at home for two hours. It will survive. So will you. I will happily return to any restaurant that enforces Collier County health code, serves great food and drinks, and employs a staff that runs the room with confidence and competence. BrickTop's checks every box.

Captain & Krewe Seafood Market and Raw Bar

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

5+ Star Review for Mercato Italiano…read more From the moment you walk into Mercato Italiano, you know you have found something special. This is not just a café. It is an experience that brings authentic Italian flavor and warmth right into the heart of Naples. Let me start with the espresso. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality in every sip. It had that true Italian profile, bold but never bitter, and it set the tone for everything that followed. Now the food. I ordered a croissant sandwich, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The croissant itself was fresh out of the oven, light, flaky, and buttery in all the right ways. Inside, I had two sunny-side-up eggs cooked just right, paired with prosciutto, bacon, and ham. The combination of flavors was incredible. Every bite gave you a perfect mix of savory, rich, and slightly salty notes, all brought together by that warm, delicate croissant. What really stood out was the presentation. This was not just a sandwich thrown on a plate. It was carefully arranged on a platter, clean, inviting, and done with pride. You can tell they care about every detail. The atmosphere completes the experience. The energy inside is welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. It feels like a place where people come not just to eat, but to slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. Whether you are stopping in for a quick espresso or sitting down for a full breakfast, the environment makes you want to stay. The experience was outstanding along with the service that made you feel like Family. If you are anywhere near Naples, this is a must-visit. Mercato Italiano delivers on flavor, presentation, and experience at the highest level. This is easily a 5-plus star spot, and a place I will return to again without hesitation.

If you fancy delicious Mozzarella, tomatoes and fresh basil, go for the Napoli. By the way, I can eat one by myself but they are a nice size and are good enough to share by 2 people. They have a pizza called Alessandro that is pure gourmet, a feast for pizza lovers. Mercato Italiano may be a bit busy at some times but for me the waiting in line is worth it. The owner and chef, Valerio di Falco, was going around the tables checking that everything was good. He was very nice, same with Jiusi and Anna.

Winner 2013 Best Overall Restaurant in Collier County? My husband and I just had to check this place out. Wow! Best Everything we say. We went to Cafe Normandie for dinner the first time a month ago and have been back for lunch and dinner four times already. Our dinner appetizers and dinner were phenomenal every visit and Lunch items are spectacular. The atmosphere created a beautiful ambiance. We truly felt we were transported to a French Bistro. Our reception was very warm and welcoming and the Owner and staff were awesome...attentive, helpful and quite friendly. Although we did see people dressed in all manners at dinner we felt perfectly comfortable in our casual resort clothes. We eat out a lot and can't believe we never found Cafe Normandie before but can assure you we will now dine there frequently. We found out last year Cafe Normandie was named Naples' Best Kept Secret. Well, now the secret's out. It gets our highest recommendation. read more

I feel bad for this hidden French gem in Naples because the original owner passed away and the new owners are doing their best to maintain its well established legacy. They finally fired the server named Mike. The place is small & quaint with a great atmosphere but this rude pompous server named Mike acted like he was working for Nasa. His attitude ruined our last 2 experiences and his service was abysmal. Hopefully by getting rid of him the great food will shine through read more

Best French resurant in Naples for friendly service, excellent food both in quality and quanity and above all consistency. Quality assurance because the owner is likely to be the "Chef on duty". And he will be out to your table to say hello and chat a bit. Favorite place for Saturday lunch. We've been going there for years and never ever had inconsistant service or food. read more
