    Lunch today was flawless. Now that "season" is over there was no wait and service prompt and cheerful. Beautiful day overlooking the water. I had the lunch special, panko crusted tilapia, my wife the eggplant parmigiana entrée. Both piping hot and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended.

    We live here in the Naples area, and lived in Italy for six years. This was our first visit as well as our last. We did get seated very quickly. Our server was very nice and in general very good. The food however, is far removed from real Italian food. It tastes like it is right from Sysco, not Sicilia. They must have gotten the two confused. Bland would be an understatement. Ordered grilled calamari which needed a hot sear and a bit of hot pepper slices, not wilted lettuce and tomato. The eggplant rollotini- tasteless. It is the first time in my life I have sent a dish back and said it was terrible. Husband ordered a pepperoni pizza-C at best. Waiter did remove eggplant from bill. Very profesional. Very overpriced for food that is less than mediocre.

    Sat 10 minutes at bar and literally not a single person acknowledged my wife and I. Acted as though we were in the way of the bartender.

    The owner was kind enough to call and suggest that we give it one more try. We did that tonight and it was Mira Mare as the fine restaurant we had grown to know.

    This is a place I will come to any time I find myself in the Naples area. Fine Italian cuisine for sure, but also willing to accommodate the red sauce crowd. The food is as good as any you'd find in Naples Italy and the setting is magnificent. Be sure to reserve an outside table. Nice wine list with some bargains if you have a good eye. Try also to say hello to the owner Sal. He has had many years experience in the restaurant worlds of New York City and Florida and is a joy to shoot the breeze with. As for the people who say the place is pricey, hey, you get what you pay for. I have always found Mira Mare to be a good value.

    I wouldn't even give this place one star! Horrible food! A microwave could cook better! And for the price! Will not return!

    This is a lovely waterfront gem that I'd come to again and again. Service is stellar. Food is over the top OMG good. Pricy but worth it. Only negative is the live karaoke singer. What's up with that? An Italian singer would be so fitting.

    Dinners were shrimp with wild rice and brandy sauce. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Chicken stuffed w sausage and mushroom cream sauce was a generous plate and delicious. Our server was outstanding. He was from Albania - definitely a professional! Gave us the perfect wine choice and dining suggestions. Carpaccio salad was also delicious. Will return. Amazing outside seating on the water. Very relaxing.

    Had a lovely family dinner outside on the water here with my family during our winter vacation/escape from the northeast. Service was attentive and friendly, the food was really good. We shared grilled calamari which was cooked perfectly. The angel hair with shrimp and crabmeat was light and flavorful. My husband had the lamb chops which he liked a lot. We came with our tween boys who appreciated the ambience and great food. Will definitely come back!

    We had a group of 10 on a saturday night, made the reservation a month in advance. We were seated outside as requested at our reservation time. The setting is fantastic , 2 stars just for that! We had 1 waitress and she was very efficient. We do not have 1 complaint about the service. There were a number of different entrees ordered. The veal milanese was excellent, lasagna, outstanding, pasta bolognese outstanding, eggplant rollatini very good. The only entree that wasn't completely devoured was the pasta with clam sauce. Spinach salad was ok. We would definitely return, our experience at the height of busy season was great.

    The only good thing about this place is the location and the water views. The food was mediocre at best! My Portofoglie Valdostano (veal scallopine)was literally raw inside. The broccoli d'rape was tough as nails and very chewy. The fried Calamari was also very chewy. on top of that, they refused to honor a Restaurant.com coupon because 2 of out 4 had pasta dishes. However, 2 of us alone, spent well over the $100.00 needed to use the coupon and ate from the main menu. Restaurant.com coupons are not free, they must be purchased at a discount rate. First and last time for this restaurant.

    This is a great place for Italian food. Try their fresh pasta. It was fantastic. Wine list is good, not over priced. The view and setting are as good as you will find in Naples. I am from California and come here once a year for a conference and this place is a must do.

    This was a pleasant dining experience. Food was very good. I've rarely had liver in an Italian restaurant and it was excellent. My wife loved her pasta. The big difference was our server. His name was Gonzalez. He was extremely attentive and professional. I would ask for him every time.

    Dinner was excellent, The food and service was great. The only thing I would change is the fact that the bread is cold. Its the only thing I would have changed. The Grouper was excellent as was my pasta with Seafood.

    Great authentic Sicilian cooking with fresh ingredients. Best cappuccino I've had in a long time. Huge portions. Get there before 6 to take advantage of the 3 course meal for $20. Ambience- we were crooned by a Sinatra soundalike with candlelight. What an awesome experience!

    We decided to try this restaurant, and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, that was the only promptness all evening. Our waiter was very disinterested in providing service, although the busser was okay. We had the early dining dinners, which were okay. The tilapia was tasty, but the gnocchi was wonderful! Overall, I would only return for the view and the early dining---the regular menu is overpriced for the quality of food.

    I really shouldn't be rating this restaurant, but what the heck. My family and friends were have dinner for New Years at a restaurant a couple of doors down, because we knew we weren't going to make it to our next stop by 12 we decided to ring in the new year at Ristorante. Walking in was a show all on it's own; image 25 Cubans walking into a very quiet quiet quiet restaurant on the 31st of December. Let's just say I was asking the DJ for music "we can actually dance to" as soon as we walked in. After continually asking the DJ, the manager finally told him to change what he was playing. One of my friends ended up having to plug in his iphone to the DJ's equipment and play Pandora over his speakers, because the DJ only had oldies. :/ After two hours or so of dancing with the waiters and random costumers, we left due to noise complaints. In the end my friend left with the DJ's business card and we left with sore feet. :D I really can't say much for the service or the food but the view was beautiful; hopefully I'll be able to upload a more helpful review on my next visit.

    We were in from out of town and I relied on yelp to find a restaurant for Valentine's Day - big mistake. The view is lovely but they tried to sandwich us at a table that was less than arm's length from the two beside it - the opposite of romantic. We asked to wait for another table that was fine, and the waiter was nice, but the food was terrible. Firstly the bread was stale and the wine list limited. The beef carpaccio app was good, but not great. I was disappointed to note they only make a select few pastas - the majority come from a box, as noted on the menu. I nonetheless tried the fruitte de mer and it was the worst I've had. The pasta was chewy and sauce almost non-existent. Some of the seafood was fried which I have never seen. My husband ordered the grouper which was almost inedible. Everything was terribly overcooked, and he only managed a few bites. Unfortunately the waiter never came back to check on us, so we didn't tell anyone until the busser cleared our table. They did take the grouper off the bill, but it was still a very disappointing experience.

    Quite a beautiful experience in the Gulf bay. We dined outdoors and the service was wonderful. The view is spectacular! The food was also delicious. For my meal, I had shrimp with garlic, oil & cappellini and the shrimp was HUGE, the portions were large and the other members in my family loved their seafood as well. The wine was great and this has become a favorite family spot in Naples. My dad was there with his girlfriend for New Years Eve and they held on to a 10% certificate they received that evening & were able to apply it just last weekend. No expiration date - that's good business! The owner came by and said hello, he seemed happy to have returning diners (he saw the 10% off card), and was a talkative friendly guy. He mentioned he hired new chefs this year and asked if the food had improved...and assured us it had. My dad thought it was great all along!

    Traveling from Miami, we got off of I-75 to have some good food by the water en route to Sanibel. I Yelped this restaurant, read the reviews and said this was the place to go. Boy was I right. The food was excellent. The service was friendly. And the view was awesome. Our late lunch was so good that I took one of their pizzas to go. Thanks to the Yelp community for nailing this one. Miramare was fantastic!

    We have a place in the neighborhood we visit seasonally. I have repeatedly taken friends and family here, probably about 15 times over the years. Tonight I arrived with dinner reservations for a party of four women. We were given an undesirable table inside where it was uncomfortably warm. I asked for a better table when I saw an open one nearby and the host said he was holding open tables for patrons at the bar. I mentioned one of my guests was pregnant and could not tolerate the heat inside and the host suggested we come back in 30 minutes for a different table. All this while tables in a better area sat open. We left, went to the new steakhouse in the same mall and had an excellent dinner with solicitous service. When I called Mira Mare to say we would not be returning in 30 minutes they seemed not to have any idea of who we were, what had occurred or to care at all. I will take my dining dollars to establishments that treat their patrons as welcome guests.

    Go for the setting. We had a nice lunch here on the sunny warm deck overlooking the bay. Dolphins were popping in and out of the water throughout the time we were there, quite lovely. It was very relaxing and made me almost feel like I was in Europe. Food was....eh, ok. We got shrimp cocktail, nothing special there. We got a caesar, nothing at all special there, that could use work. We got a pizza, it was pretty decent. Tiramisu for dessert was pretty good, not the best I've had. So I took some stars off for mediocre food in a great setting. Our waiter was average, just fine really. Here's my bizarro complaint for the this place: the whole time we are there, this older lady is walking around advertising for some Aegean shop nearby. Like she walks around with a shopping bag for the store and i guess wearing clothes from her shop and handing out her business card to various people at various tables. On the way out I see her talking to the hostess, I guess they are buddies. I found the whole situation weird and distracting. This setting is really lovely. Please do not interject random sales people into your restaurant. I'm trying to have a relaxing lunch on my vacation with my husband, I don't want your friend peddling her middle-aged clothes to me. That needs to be stopped yesterday.

    Amazing! Pricey, but food is always well above average. I've never left unsatisfied. Always nice music and beautiful outdoor seating right on the water. I had veal for the first time, it was very delicious, tender and perfectly cooked, and the sauce on it was to die for. I'm not a seafood girl, but others have told me their seafood dishes are wonderful. Had very attentive and polite service. For such a nice, pricey place, it's a very comfortable atmosphere. Not stuffy like other expensive and delicious Italian restaurants. Not a place to be missed!

    We had an 8pm reservation. At 9pm we were still waiting for our table. You think for a washed up Italian joint with a three week season, you'd at least be able to handle your reservations. Sad.

    Consistency is king in the restaurant biz. I ate here and had a nice experience. Then my wife and I took some out of town guests. It was awful. Waiter JP was dressed in street clothes, which confused us. He offended everyone at the table, had a ringing cell phone in pocket while talking to us and was generally boorish in every way. After sitting for 30 minutes with no sign of the waiter or anyone, I got up and asked another member of the staff for our bill. We left and had a great dinner next door at Bayside Seafood Grill. The credit card charge showed up for higher than the slip I signed. What? I called and left a message for Luca the manager and wrote a letter to Salvatore the owner and rec'd no response.

    Very nice setting, at the Village at Venetian Bay, right on the water. Great outdoor seating, some of the best in Naples. The food itself is institutional Italian. Nothing truly outstanding or different that you can get anywhere else here.

    The only good thing I can say about our recent visit to this place is that it had a pleasant location! The food was mediocre and our desert had A large hair in it! I called the manager and never heard back. So I won't be going back either!

    Lovely setting, fun musician (if you love Sinatra!), good service. Food was okay. I had the lobster ravioli. Way too rich. Gave me indigestion. I will probably go back again because it's convenient. Not a spectacular gastronomical experience.

  • Kristen F.

    The ambiance overlooking the water is great- however, they cram in as many people as possible that you can barely move. As for the bar- there are maybe 5 seats so if your table isn't ready- good luck. I was very excited when the special was Branzino- it's my favorite. However, when it came out, it was smothered in a lemon butter sauce that was already congealed...I was scraping it off to try and eat the fish. Seems like they were trying to hide something. My husband got the Veal Parm- it was HUGE! They kept the bone in and it was delicious! I ate some of his since I was still hungry. I probably wouldn't go back unless it's during the week or off season.

    We ate there tonight, but haven't been there for a couple of years. The setting is spectacular overlooking Naples Bay. We had a 6.45 reservation, we arrived on time and despite 20 people or so waiting we were seated immediately. The restaurant was packed, and we weren't expecting too much, but we were pleasantly surprised. My wife had a caesar salad and rigatoni with eggplant. I had eggplant Rollatinii and veal milanese with chopped salad. Both were excellent and well prepared. In fact my veal was hanging over the edge of the dish and was very tender. The restaurant was crowed until we left. We will definitely be back. Great food and setting.

    Great setting, average food,pompous service, and horrible karaoke style live singer. We will never go back. Naples has far better options than this current restaurant, here's hoping someone else takes over this location. It used to be a gold standard for Venetian Village outdoor dining.

    New Year's Eve is a madhouse in the restaurant business. We were there for the 5 p.m. seating and these people handled it well. Good variety of food on the menu, and we like our choices (I had a rice, shrimp and asparagus dish -- sorry I cannot remember the Italian name). Drinks were good and others at the table like the recommended wine.. Price was reasonable for Naples. The waiter even complimented my Italian accent (which I know is not good -- but he did not have to ask me to repeat in English). Will go again.

    The view - beautiful. The manager - friendly, welcoming. The food - I've had better. In a land, far, far, far away from Naples, Italy we visited this lovely and well appointed ristorante. The weather a clear and warm night of 82 degrees. The people beautiful, loud, happy, jolly, drinking alcoholi....happy were we - Bene! Bene! - that such a place existed so far from Europa. We were welcomed with open arms by a manager (owner) whose smile was warm and sunny. We felt enveloped by his friendliness and happy to enjoy. In the distance - what's that we hear? - someone sang... all types of songs (Italian ones would have been nice). My ears cried as I heard him sing "Landslide" - the Karaoke version - nowhere near Stevie Nick's very fitting and melodic tone. But I digress...this was not about the brave singer (he tried, really!). Our waitress, poor dear, seems to have forgotten that in mixed parties it is best not to offend. Drinks were served for the males in the party (not me, I am a dog, after all!) but females were 'skipped'? How so? When we re-requested the drinks for the ladies indignation was clearly visible, meh - woman, please! Even chihuawees know not to skip the ladies! Bread arrived... ahhhh...good enough to make us forget the forgotten drinks... butter melted on the bread as if taking a bath in it! Caesar salad was more pungent than we're used to - but it works to make us forget once more and was tasty. The dinners arrived with the pasta sauce aroma like those canned sauces one uses prior to cooking. We continued on as we tried to swirl the linguini puddled with water, it just slipped off the fork - like a slimy worm. Why, oh why - further mark our experience? Clearly the linguini was kept in water precooked, overcooked and then served (I've cooked linguini like this - when I was first learning to use my paws to stir the pot. It took me so long to do so that the pasta turned to paste. Then I learned that Chihuahuas aren't really supposed to be cooking anyway - we could burn our wee-wees standing so close to the pot!). And on we went... we ordered dessert. Tiramisu... tear-at-me good! Crème Brulée - right this way. Waitress attempted to make conversation with males in the party. Finally bringing the bill and placing it, you guessed it - in front of the males. No problem - she worked hard on getting their attention. Little did she know the girls were paying tonight. This is an equal opportunity world darlin' - be nice and pay attention to everyone in the party, place the bill in the middle and don't assume who may be paying it. No matter what momma may have told you. I suppose I can recommend this restaurant - because the owner (manager) was oh-so-nice and the view was just beautiful. And --- If you like mushy, over boiled, over cooked linguini, this is the place to go. Or perhaps just stay away from the pasta altogether. The price was not worth the pasta. Y el baño? AY Dios MIO! I forgot to go to the bathroom - I better get back there and leave them a little 'gift.' This place gets 2.5 woofs! WOOF! WOOF! WO

    My grandmother takes me here every time I visit. I had trouble deciding on a dish but was very happy with my final choice of the homemade pappardelle with pink sauce. Everything looked so good that we went back for lunch the next day! They have a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the water and got to try the chicken francese, which was also amazing! My grandmother was also happy with her selections: the sea bass special for dinner, and spaghetti and meatball for lunch. Their lunch specials and early bird dinners are exceptional values. But even if you don't get there early enough for the special, you will enjoy the live nightly entertainment while watching the sunset!

    What a beautiful experience. This is our 5th trip back and the food is fabulous. Spinach salad was lightly dressed, Pasta is fresh and filet mignon perfectly grilled the atmosphere is pleasant. View of the water with setting sun was stunning. Our waiter was prompt and courteous, always filling out water glasses, never made it 1/2 empty and our drinks refilled 1/4 before empty. 5 star location, live music, we had 4 meals and all plates cooked to perfections. Standing ovation to the chef. One reviewer listed it as a 1 star because her opinion the seating area is a safety issue her remarks are unfounded and should be disregarded.

    2nd edit! I had this place as a four star, but it really deserves a 5 now that I've been here 3 times. On my first and third trip I ordered the spaghetti con frutti de mare. One of my favorite meals on the planet. The seafood is so fresh. Most succulent shrimp I've ever tasted over pasta and the seasoning in the sauce is just spicy enough to allow you to enjoy it without making you sweat. On my second trip I got the spaghetti and meat sauce. It was awesome! Since it was a more traditional and common italian meal however, i wasn't as wowed. The atmosphere is breathtaking. One of my favorite places to eat at simply for the view. Right on the water looking out over a gorgeous part of naples. Very cute little bar you could sit at if you're looking for one of their signature martinis. On the first and third trip, the service was unbeatable. Never had my glass half empty before more water was it. The "my pleasures" and the friendly help pronouncing the menu items really helped make both trips. Second trip, much like the food, was great but nothing jaw dropping. 1st trip =5 2nd trip = 4 3rd trip = 5 Will be back without a doubt, but with a hungry stomach and a huge smile on my face!

    While the atmosphere at Mira Mare is quite nice in the spring evenings, this restaurant was definitely a disappointment. If it weren't for the beautiful scenery, this restaurant would receive one star. We made a reservation but still were told to wait 15 minutes for a table for four. Once we were seated, our service was slow, and we waited 30 minutes for our food. The food fell short of expectations. The salmon was not fresh and was a unappealing beige pallor. Mira Mare offers gluten free pasta for those with gluten unfriendly preferences, but that also was undercooked and hard. The eggplant parmigiana was mediocre and was not accompanied by any side pasta or bread (essentially an underwhelming eggplant lasagna). To conclude, our group will not be dining at Mira Mare in the future.

    The outside patio may be pleasant to some, but the overcrowded space, is a hazard and could very easily become a safety issue. We sat inside, for the night was windy and a tad chilly. The waitress was just there, showing no intentions of going out of her way. She was absent most of the time and only in a passing, were able to complain that (2) fish dinners were cold. She showed some remorse, yet didn't insist on returning the meals. She brought us three small glasses of chocolate wine at no charge, trying to smooth over the disappointing entrees. Expensive for food that is just mediocre, accompany by lazy service.

  • Christine N.

    It's a beautiful setting on the bay, VERY friendly service. The food is ok. Too expensive for quality. As we say, big is not always better. Had the grouper, fish was good but there was so much artichoke and escarole on the plate you had to dig in to find the grouper. The pizza was ok, but nothing special and at $20 way too expensive. The life entertainment is more a nuisance than a pleasure, too loud and too much karaoke.

  • Heather G.

    Very nice outside seating and I was warm because of the heaters which is good. Food took an extra long time but was very good. I asked about the kids menu and they told me pizza or pasta so I said kids pizza. I didn't think they would of brought a 18 dollar medium pizza out. So they should have an option for kids too. There were at least ten kids I saw in there.

    Have a reservation. Not seated 30 mins still waiting. Spoke to the owner to complain, who is an arrogant ass. His reply was " we are never on time, we service old people who are slow. Go to the bar and have a drink. I am in the restaurant business. I WOULD never ever speak to or treat a customer that way. This could be the best restaurant on the planet but with the attitude of the staff they should be out of business. I know this is a seasonal area but I happen to be a local and I will NOT come back.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country.
