Barbatella

The service was fast and kind. The bread and oil before the dinner was spot on. We had kids pizzas which they loved. Came out hot and really filled up the kids. The adults had short rib ravioli. All I can say is amazing. I would definitely have this again. We also had the daily special fettuccini with black truffles. Also, really good with a nice sauce. Highly recommended and would eat here again.

We stopped here on our stroll of historic Naples to enjoy a gelato. Barbatella was a very pleasant surprise. We were allowed to sample the flavors. And the portions for the price were very generous. The gelateria area is separate from the restaurant seating so you can quickly get in and out. There was wonderful outdoor seating as well. The staff were very friendly and accommodating (We had an infant in tow!).

I adore the ambiance of this place the birdcage chandeliers make the interior unforgettable. However I can’t say as much for my food or drinks. I felt as if some of the portions were a bit small. The sauce on the pizza was thin/watery with too much cheese. My mothers pasta had the same sauce & it just didn’t do anything for me nor did the other entrees on the table. I refuse to completely bash restaurants in my reviews. They might have just had a off day. I do have to say i had the grouper for my main course and that was delicious and cooked/deboned to perfection! It was the one dish I didn’t photograph because I attacked it!

Dined at Barbatella today for my 5th or 6th visit for cocktails and an unexpected pizza experience thanks to 1/2 off Monday night pizza offer. Friend and I tried the Barbatella (good flavor profile but impossible to eat as lack of binding agent led toppings to topple before reaching my mouth) and Capricciosa (better overall taste and much easier to eat). Fun chance to try something new - will return to regular menu on next visit.

Barbatella is a gem in Naples downtown. The food is delicious. You can taste a real Italian pizza, choose between a variety of fresh and tasty antipasti and delicious main courses. The atmosphere is enchanting, and the staff attentive and well trained. I highly recommend Barbatella Italian restaurant.
