The service was exceptional with personal attention from Sal. The calamari appetizer was such an experience. I was so lost in the flavors that I forgot to ask for more wine. The lobster ravioli was what dreams are made of, and I've never tasted better sea bass. But the absolute best part of the meal was the maid to order Sfogliatella.
The best Italian I've ever had..even better than what I had in Italy! The service at Naples 15 is fantastic and the atmosphere is as authentic Italian as it gets.

Naples never disappoints us! It feels like at home every time we stop by. Family style Italian (Sicilian) food with excellent cocktails and wine selection. I've hosted my company dinners and family dinners here, as well as just stopping in for a dessert ! Boar, noodles, Tiramisu, pizza in the wood oven, yes, please! Say Hi to Sal when you go in and you're family. Salute!
I’ve been to Italy, and I can confidently say that Naples 15 offers an authentic taste of Italy right here! The food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere truly transports you. Meeting the owner, Salvatore, was a wonderful experience—such a kind and passionate person. Highly recommend everyone to visit and enjoy this gem!
Food is amazing. Never been to Italy but it seems truly authentic. It’s a dining experience meant to be enjoyed and not rushed. I recommend a reservation on a Friday or Saturday night unless you get there at 5:30 or before. Pizza is fantastic but the red sauce is *chef’s kiss* so I’d get anything with that. Our server was fantastic. The only negative about the entire meal was that the music was far too loud and also didn’t seem to match the mood of the restaurant? That is definitely personal preference but everyone at our table thought volume needed to be lowered. However, that would not stop me from going back!
This is the best meal experience I have ever had! The attention paid to our party was incredible but the food was phenomenal. Chef Sal spent so much time with us with toast after toast and has made a whole group of new friends. I cannot say enough...
Salvatore was amazing, which made the trip even better. We were in town and he was giving a cooking demo at Festa Italia. We had to try his restaurant. To our surprise he was there, talking to guests and meeting travelers like us (in town from Kansas City). We even bought the 5 Liter olive oil imported from his friends in Italy. The best in the world. The wine? Amazing. The food? Plenty of options for any budget. From cozy to romantic, you can find what you’re looking for at Naples 15.
