The service and ambiance was some of the best I've ever experienced! Not to mention the food... I've been to Italy several times and this food was just as good, if not better. From the meat to the sauces, and the pizza was some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend! Lastly... DO NOT miss out on the Nutella Pizza. Best desert ever!! read more

Atmosphere - this depends on where you are seated. The inside is fairly small and extremely noisy. Fortunately, we were seated out near the sidewalk, was very pleasant. Service - very good. We were not rushed and our server did check on us sufficiently. Food - Very Good. I had Caprese and the Chicken Francese. The caprese large and was good. The Chicken Francese was served hot and was very good. The chicken tenderized and lightly breaded. It was very tender and the sauce was very good. Overall - the prices are very good and the portions ample. I would definitely return but avoid weekends. read more

We arrived early for our reservation to have a drink at the bar, but found it packed. We managed to squeeze in a corner where I ordered a lemon drop martini. I must have made a face when I took my first sip as the bartender asked me if I liked it. Actually I didn't, It might be the worst I have ever drank, and I order them all the time. He asked what he could do to make it better, and I didn't really know what was wrong with it. Maybe there wasn't any simple syrup? We were fortunately seated outside, as it was very noisy inside. We had a great table and our server came with our menu and the wine list as well as some crusty bread. There are numerous salads, appetizers, entrees, and even pizza on the menu. I started with a Caesar salad, which I thought was super pricey, but was very good. I was able to enjoy it before I ordered my entree. I chose the gnocchi and a glass of wine. The gnocchi came out in minutes and was some of the lightest, fluffiest gnocchi I have had since New York City ages ago. Good choice. The server wasn't rushing us, but let us enjoy our meal at our pace, which was refreshing. Overall, nice experience. read more

If you want the true Italian experience on 5th Ave in Naples, Molto absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, the energy is incredible, the bar scene is lively and packed (even at 5 pm on a Sunday!). It honestly felt like the place to be. We started with espresso martinis, and I loved that you can customize them: creamy with Baileys or without, and even regular or decaf, which is such a nice touch if you're out for the evening but don't want to be wired all night. Of course we did finish our night with these as well. Food-wise, there were some real standouts. The Caesar salad was to die for, so fresh and flavorful. The Tagliolini Pescatora in a light red sauce with homemade pasta was absolutely incredible and easily one of the best dishes of the night. The veal parmesan special was massive (as you can see) and perfect for sharing. The only small note was the gnocchi, which were a bit softer than we prefer, we tend to like them a little more al dente. There were huge chunks of mozzarella within it as well! Still tasty, just a texture preference. As usual for Naples, restaurant was buzzing early, but by around 8 pm it started clearing out (aka "Naples midnight"). Pro tip: make a reservation and head downtown to Molto. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and some truly memorable dishes. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place has a real Italian vibe just like the motherland. The ambience is great and the staff are all amazing!! We started with mussels which were amazing with bread to swap up the delicious sauce. I had the veal Milanese. It was the bomb. The salad on top was perfectly dressed so it didn't take the crunch from the veal. My wife had the lobster ravs with half a lobster. Amazing!!!! Definitely will be back. read more

I really wanted to love Molto, and there were a lot of things to like. The vibes felt very authentic, which I appreciated, and the service was amazing--really attentive and thoughtful. We tried three different pizzas, the mushroom truffle pasta, lobster pasta, Greek salad (my personal favorite), calamari with shrimp, and the eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant Parmesan was definitely a standout--really delicious. That said, for some reason, it just didn't fully click for me. Everything was good, but I guess I was expecting something a bit more memorable. Still, it's a solid spot with great food and great service. read more

We went here for lunch a few days before Christmas. We sat outside which was nice. We had ordered a pizza and salad to start, pizza was good but a little soggy in the center. Everyone enjoyed their main courses. The bread was delish and we couldn't get enough of it! The service was good but could've been a touch better as far as attentiveness. Overall I would go back! read more

Molto Trattoria - Pizza - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

3/7/25: Molto Trattoria is very charming from the outside. We did make reservations since it was a party of five. However, I would skip this place in the future. We had the option of indoor or outdoor dining. We opted for the outdoor dining. Since we were a party of five, they put two tables together. A female server took our order right away. It took a long time for the drinks and food to come out. My bf and I shared a Margherita Pizza. It took a long time just to find a server to request some oregano. You would think in a casual Italian restaurant they would have it on the table? Even with the oregano, I thought the pizza tasted like cardboard. There were other issues. I think one person out of the five of us, enjoyed their meal. When we were finished eating, it took forever for someone to come to clear the table. Again, we waited a long time for someone to come with the checks. The initial server came back with the checks. Unfortunately, she had an attitude. Maybe there was an issue getting enough help? On a Friday afternoon, a business better have enough help. Parking is a whole another issue in that area. read more

My experience began with a very warm greeting from the staff. We were able to sit anywhere since we went mid-afternoon. The dining room is absolutely adorable! The bar is very enticing as well and I'll be back, when possible, to sit at the bar and enjoy happy hour! Given the time of day, only ordered a cocktail and "snack" -- pizza. The cocktail was delicious. I was pleased they were able to accommodate me by changing rum instead of vodka due to an allergy. Wish I could recall the cocktail's name. There were SO many that sounded delicious! I ordered the pizza that has 1/3 margarita, 1/3 with Buffala cheese & 1/3 with arugula and prosciutto. The pizza was absolutely delicious and definitely reminded me of the pizza I had in Napoli, Italy. The crust was very thin and also very tasty. The ingredients used tasted top notch! Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes and cocktails. Parking is very limited. As far as I could tell there was only street parking. There are 2 handicap spaces at the bank of the building, through a very cutesy alleyway-ish. Restrooms are for 1. Give it a go!! I'll certainly be back! read more

This is my second time here and I think I've had the same experience both times. I came her with a group of 5 last night. The restaurant is always full. Very authentic Italian vibes. The same woman took our orders but every once in a while, a male would come over to ask if we need anything but anything we asked him for did not come. Here's what we ordered and what I thought: Apps: - Molto Pizza -- very good! Parma was my favorite (most flavorful). - Calamari -- very good, came with shrimp. Should have added lemon. - Caesar Salad -- added anchovies for $3 and the server didn't tell me that first. Mains: - Tagliolini con Polpette e Ricotta -- good but pasta lacked flavor and so did the meatballs. - Tagliolini with Truffle and Mushrooms -- also good, but again lacked salt. - Spaghetti Carbonara -- super salty!! - Pappardelle Pesto and Shrimp -- my favorite of the night!! Very good! - Gnocchi alla Sorrentina -- my least favorite of the night. *they also give complimentary bread and it's the smallest loaf and they only bring one?? It was so weird. read more

I went to a birthday brunch to celebrate Ukrainian Regina in early November. There was pizza which was very good, chicken i believe, some salad, and lots of prosecco! the pasta dish that they brought out later was a little extraneous and subpar. It was good company and food celebrating her birthday! Regina played her keyboard and other people spoke commemorating her! A nice ambiance and gathering for sure! :) read more

Molto had a trendy vibe and all of the staff were friendly and attentive. They tend to be busy so make sure to get a reservation in advance. The bruschetta appetizer was phenomenal on warm toasted bread. Caprese was simple and delicious. For dinner we had the chicken parm and pasta with meatballs. They weren't bad but I wish we had chosen different dishes. The chicken parm was too breading heavy for my liking and wasn't like a traditional bread crumbed cutlet. I also like my cutlets very thin. The meatballs lacked flavor to me and the sauce wasn't anything amazing. I think it would've been better to go with some specialities on the menu and things that are less American. The almond cake and gelato were good and a nice way to finish the meal. Would go back but would order different meals for sure! read more

Leaving with a smile. Exactly. When my wife and me left we were smiling from ear to ear because of the wonderful night we just had. Money and time well spent. From arriving on time for our reservation and being seated promptly at an outside table on a beautiful night we felt we were in for a treat. No disappoints at all. The wine / drinks tasty. Our food selections meatballs, baccala dish, lasagna, soufle and capuchino were all DELICIOUS! Our server Pietro was on point. Great night, thanks Molto Trattoria! read more

There are so many Italian restaurants in Naples to choose from, and we finally made it to Molto. The service was excellent, but for the price, the food was just OK. There are so many other places with similar menus, better food, and better pricing. The food was good, but not great; we won't return. read more

You cannot beat the service at Molto Trattoria, their staff is on top of every detail! We ordered up the Homemade Meatballs and the Margherita Pizza...both were outstanding and the ingredients seemingly fresh from Italy! A very busy place on a Wednesday night so make sure and make reservations! Very classic Italian feel to the place and you can see the big oven from the front door. This was our 131st Diners Drive-Ins and Dives stop and a very good one at that. read more

My Lord Molto was an intimidating experience... at first! Rolling up on a Friday night on a very busy 5th Ave sidewalk I wasn't sure what to expect. I appreciate that while you wait outside the bar is happy to make a cocktail for you to take outside and supplement your people watching (and what a watch it is). We didn't wait too long past our res time despite how busy it was (good sign). After we settled in I was hesitant to order an espresso martini until I tried my husbands and you can tell the coffee quality was just the pick me up I needed. (Great sign). Fast forward to the main event - food and service and neither disappointed. Again I get a little anxious if I have to compete for my servers attn and he was on top of it; he was funny and he was impressed with my husbands ability to filet an entire branzino down to its mere vertebra. I had spinach ricotta ravioli and they were freshly made and pasta nice and thin .. melt in your mouth phenomenal. I can tell it was of quality bc most pasta is too glutinous and this was light and digestible. We topped it off with some cheesecake and homemade pistachio panna cotta.. just wow! I see what the hype is about and appreciate the operational rigor! read more

Molto Trattoria - Delish! - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

We returned to Malto last evening for dinner with our friends. Another outstanding meal. Our server Angela was fantastic as always, and it gave great recommendations on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Out of the countless Italian restaurants in downtown Naples, Molto seems to have the most hype--they've got a line out the door on a weekday evening, reservations are a bit hard to come by, and they've got their endorsement from Guy Fieri on prominent display. I usually shy away from hype, both because I hate waiting, and because hype can be manufactured from things that are completely irrelevant to the quality of the food. I'm happy to report that Molto's hype is entirely deserved and I would actually wait in line to eat here. I came with my husband and in-laws for dinner on a Monday night, and as soon as we walked up and saw how many people were waiting, we were so glad to have a reservation. We were seated pretty much right at our reservation time and ushered to a cozy table indoors right by the wine room. The atmosphere inside is warm and bustling. It's lively enough that you don't feel like you're in an art museum, and you can have a private conversation with your table, but not so loud that you have to shout. Tables are close together and you do need to be mindful of throughways but it doesn't feel cramped. They have a menu that will please pretty much anyone's taste, and a long roster of specials that outstripped even what was written on the specials board. Our server for the night, "J", was incredible knowledgeable about all the food and wine and was able to give great recommendations for everyone. We had the focaccia stella and the burrata to start, and I had one of the specials, a squid ink pasta with seafood. All their pasta is handmade, and they take a particular pride in their marinara sauce. Their focaccia is thin and crunchy (not thick and bouncy) and cut into wedges, topped with basically an arugula salad with tomatoes and olives. It was not what we expected but it was incredibly delicious. That thinner crispier focaccia is perfect for an appetizer. The burrata is fresh and creamy, as you'd expect. Their squid ink pasta is probably the best squid ink pasta I've ever had. The pasta itself is toothsome and textured so as to pick up every bit of sauce. The squid and shrimp on my dish were cooked perfectly and clearly fresh. My dinner buddies, who had the veal ravioli, the soup of the day (a white bean soup), tagliatelle bolognese, spaghetti with marinara sauce, and margherita pizza were all really happy with their dinners and there were clean plates all over the table. Despite all that, we had to have some tiramisu for dessert. I figure if a place takes such pride in their pasta, their tiramisu can't be bad. I wasn't wrong. Best tiramisu I've had in a while. I even chanced ruining my sleep with the nighttime espresso and I have no regrets. No regrets at all for anything that evening. read more

LASAGNA WAS COLD. Clearly microwaved. Makes DDD look bad. They took it back , no apology no explanation nothing. and mushed it all up and then refused to accommodate telling me I ate it all and complained. You see the pics for yourself lol. and threatened to call authorities if I didn't pay for a meal that they literally mushed around in the kitchen and tried to say we'll heat it up or wrap it up. I'm not gonna eat that even if it was heated. Microwave stouffers trash. Disappointed in guy fieri for advertising this trash place. Over priced. Over hyped. Self important. Service was extremely slow. And useless. Clearly the manager is a dictator who has them all scared read more

Tried to like this place but have the same experience each time. 5 staff members at front and not one person looked up for about 10 minute until one woman acknowledged me. It feels unorganized and chaotic with tables on top of each other. Food was not good, chicken parm was the worst I've ever had, a sopping wet mess with barely a sliver of unmelted mozzarella on top. Sauce was bland and chicken itself tasted barely cooked with no seasoning. Will not return again. read more

I have dined at Molto Trattoria twice now and each time the food was wonderful. I somehow ordered the same exact dish I had last time (squid ink pasta with seafood) and it was just as good as my first visit. The pasta was tender and the calamari and shrimp were cooked flawlessly. Overall, a great meal all around and a phenomenal place to grab some authentic Italian food in Naples. read more

9:45 reservation. Show at theater was late getting out. We were there by 10. OpenTable said 15 minute grace period. "Kitchen is closed." We stood by outdoor tables ordering their entrees while waiting for our car. Two nights earlier, we had to eat at the bar because it was raining and they never had a table to honor our 8:30 reservation. We're not seated or served until after 9:30, dessert made by the kitchen long after 10pm. We were fine accommodating their lateness but they did not return the favor. Great food. Hospitality could use some work read more

A very popular restaurant and for good reason. It's like being in Italy, especially sitting outside on 5th Avenue. Efficient service and a well-rounded menu with many homemade pastas. Only deficits are the waits, even with a reservation and then dealing with an exasperated hostess. Plus the inside seating is crowded, noisy and without the charm. Still, it's as close to Italy as you'll get without flying there. read more

If you've ever been to Rome or Napoli you know the food here is spot on. The lasagna does not use ricotta cheese, the pizza has a soft thin crust that flops (go to pizzeria deli Matteo or L'Antica pizzaria de michele in Naples Italy) and the carbonara is just a few simple ingredients put together to create a silky sauce. To those giving bad reviews because of what they believe pizza crust should be, please google it to understand and go back knowing the correct way pizza in Napoli is made. read more

The food service was amazing, the waiter was very attentive to our needs.I had the Bella Donna drink, it was very refreshing and delicious! We didn't get our waitress name but she's was very Italian, sweet and made the recommendations on the bolognese and homemade pasta with shrimp and pesto. We sat outside during dinner service and it was hot and humid as we're in June in Florida but the ambiance was nice. If you do happen to sit outside, spray a good amount of unscented bug spray, I started getting bit quite a bit by mosquitoes as soon as our very hot dinner plates came out. read more

I got the pesto pasta and I split one of the pizzas with my friend. The pasta was ok, nothing to write home about though. It didn't have a ton of pesto flavor and was undersalted and a small portion.

Molto Trattoria - Pesto pesta and pizza - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

We were a party of six looking forward to a long awaited gathering. Immediately our waitress, who was VERY nice, told us we would get one basket of bread but we would have to pay if we wanted more. We thought this was an odd way to start a meal but whatever. There were six tiny pieces in the basket. Seriously, what would it cost them to bring another basket? We all placed our orders and were looking forward to a great Italian meal but the food was TERRIBLE. My husband's chicken parm had literally NO flavor. Zero. He said it was literally the worst he'd ever had. My brother in law said the same about his and in addition, his pasta was very pasty and the sauce had no flavor. One ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognaise and stated the pasta was far from al dente. Another guest's chicken was severely undercooked BUT BY FAR THE WORSE was the first cut into my eggplant parm produced an extremely long black hair. Eccchh! The dish was quickly removed and later replaced with another however, by that time, everyone else was finished with their meal. A sincere apology came from our waitress, but no visit from the owner/manager, no comped meal. It was an appetizer for $20. You can't comp that if for no other reason than to perhaps gain a repeat visit? Overall, I can not recommend this restaurant and will go out of my way to steer people away. And suffice to say, it's on 5th Avenue, so it wasn't cheap. read more

What a great find on 5th! Came for my husband's birthday on a friend's recommendation. The feel is very authentic- even the staff speak Italian. Greeted with water and bread right away. Definitely ask for the hot oil to dip your bread in. It was amazing! Very spicy! Since it was our first time we couldn't decide between the pizza and the pasta so we got a margarita pizza for appetizer and went with the homemade pasta for dinner. My husband got the pasta with red sauce and meatballs and I went with the special, pesto and shrimp. Absolutely incredible. Every bite was amazing! read more

I live in Naples, molto is one of the few places that stays the same. It is real good authentic Italian food, you can tell. Most of the servers are Italian, too. This means that they have Italian manners, so some Americans don't like the way their service is but to each their own. The real estate on 5th ave is so expensive, restaurants will come in and be gone in a couple months if they don't do well. Molto never changes, you know it's good. I do wish their location was bigger, sometimes it's a little tight. They have a nice patio and some tables down on the street level. Heaters are nice for chilly nights and the bar is good. I always recommend having a reservation but mid week you can probably walk in if it's just 2 people. Such a great location and great food. Won't get tired of it! read more

Recommend this spot. Salmon was excellent - 10/10 perfectly cooked; crispy outside and tender inside with a nice lemon sauce. Scaloppini Veal 10/10. Homemade ravioli (spinach ricotta) 8.75/10. The Tagliolini with truffle and mushrooms left something to be desired....the homemade pasta was a bit harder than al dente texture and flavor was not over the top. Lasagna was good. The gelato was 9.5/10 - vanilla and pistachio flavors were very good. Tiramisu was good until you got to the bottom and it was pure espresso and/or dark chocolate, so surprisingly bitter. Top was good though. Service was great. Our server was from Macedonia. We sat on the upper patio outside and the fans felt nice. Oh my gosh and the bread in the beginning was sooo good - 10/10! read more

What a great experienxe! Molto - Italian for "plenty of" is a Trattoria serving fresh, intimate and truly authentic Italian cuisine. "Simply my mom in the kitchen" is their motto and she shares traditional family recipes! All of their pastas and sauces are homemade and they pride ourselves on using only the very best quality ingredients. they are open for lunch and dinner. we were strolling along trying to decide where to go to dinner- of course when we decided we wanted to go here we were notified that it would be 2 hours and 40 minute wait. Which actually would be fine- because we wanted to go back to the hotel and have a drink. However, 40 minutes later we received a text that said table is ready ! we let it go and came back later on and the same thing happened but this time they at sundown within 10 minutes. Everything was outstanding- the rucola salad - arugula salad, shaved parmigiana, and chopped tomatoes. Deliciois. The pollo parmigana was delectable- served with spaghetti and marinara sauce! The baccala alla livornase -cod filet sautéed with capers, black olives and tomato sauce with gluten free pasta was superb . The mediterranean branzino- mediterranean sea bass served with side of steamed spinach was so fresh and yummy. the wine was yummy as well as the cannoli and cappuccinos ! The waiter took care of us and also showed us where his family was having supper inside- I love that! no wonder they were voted one of the best restaurants in Fl in 2024! If you want excellent food, go here. It is worth a try and you will leave being fully satisfied read more
