A word from Barbatella
Barbatella a new kind of restaurant that will grow on you in the same way that the leaves & branches of a grape vine develop out of a shoot: a "barbatella" Barbatella offers an extensive menu that incorporates fresh interpretations of authentic dishes. You will enjoy pasta with typical… ingredients from Emilia-Romagna, the Veneto, Tuscany, Puglia & the Adriatic shores. Meat & fish on the rotisserie & the grill or in the deep-fryer & the smoker: whole roast duck, smoked pork baby back ribs, Venetian style meatballs, & much more. In our wood-burning oven we will make signature pizzas with cheeses & garnishes that emphasize a fresh Italian take on a favorite. Another exciting prospect at Barbatella is the production of home-made Italian ices, gelatos & sorbets– available as individual portions to enjoy as you wander around Old Naples. Barbatella has beautiful courtyard setting with views along Third Street. There is a sixteen-seat bar which features 100 wines available by the glass.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Dinner with good friends. Outdoor dining protected from moderate winds. Pasta was very good. Service was at appropriate level. Will return."
    Dined on 3/3/2014
  • "Food, wine, and ambience among the best in Naples."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Appetizer was excellent, pizza was not. Bar staff was slammed, but pleasant and knowledgeable. Martinis were strong. Will try again when season is over, but won't have pizza!"
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "On an otherwise beatiful evening, just after we had ordered wine, a rain shower arrived. We were seated outside to best enjoy the jazz and the weather. The staff did a superb job. They reseated us and managed to keep everything going smoothly in what could have easily become a chaotic situation."

  • "Been here many times. Our waiter was really friendly and knowledgeable. Sat outside beautiful night. Love the bartender George and Mauro is a gem'"

  • "We had a wonderful meal, food was as good as many restaurants three times the price."
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "We were seated inside which felt like we were eating in an icecream parlor. The menu selections were limited, particularly for someone on a gluten-free diet. We ordered an appetizer to share and I ordered an appetizer and a vegetable side dish for dinner. My husband ordered a pizza and along with 2 glasses of wine, the check came to $73! Although the manager visited several tables in the dining room, these seemed to be tables of regulars and he never stopped by our table to see how our dining experience was. While the food was decent and the service good, the cost was just not justified."
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "Let me start by stating that we love Barbatella - one of favorite Naples restaurants. We have been here many times and the food and service are sublime. While the main dining area dn outdoor seating is beautiful, the restaurant has a side room/annex which appears to used to seat families with small children and spillover. It is not the same experience - noisy, crowded with large tables with young children, and lacks any level of ambience the regular restaurant areas possess....more like being seated at the "kids table" during Thanksgiving dinner. Would ensure you confirm where you'll be seated when booking table to avoid disappointment."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Excellent - always a great evening. Our go to spot for our times in Naples. I would recommend this great place. I always enjoy the rice balls. Our waiter Angle is the best! The outdoor seating is wonderful."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Love the atmosphere and the ambiance. Food is solid and price is reasonable for Naples."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Wine, pizza and gelato along with great service who could ask for more."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "We will not return to Barbatella. They are located in our neighborhood,and they have a beautiful outdoor setting. Although an Italian restaurant a loud Spanish theme band played all through dinner. It was impossible for most of the 10 tables nearby to have any dinner conversation. We mentioned this to the waitress and she confirmed that there are numerous complaints each evening. We never had dessert or coffee as we just wanted the evening to end and leave our table."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "I've now been to Barbatella several times for lunch. The service has always been terrific, and the meals outstanding. This is certainly one of my favorite spots to take friends and clients. It's not quite as crowded as some of the other restaurants on 3rd Street, which makes it a wonderful place to actually have a conversation with your dining companions. Try it - you won't be disappointed!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Love the energy, food, location and friendly atmosphere. One of our favorite spots in Naples"
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "Everyone in our party loved the food, service and ambiance"
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "We made a reservation on Open Table. Our request for outdoor seating was not met. This is not the fault of the restaurant. Next time, we will use OT to verify availability but reserve directly by phone for greater assurance. The terrace looked spectacular. Indoors, the noise was unbearable and the decor dark and heavy. Overall, a disappointing experience but we would gladly try dining on the terrace."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "We were seated next to the kitchen. I asked to be moved. There would only be a table almost next to mine available. The waitress couldn't hear us nor could we hear her. It was so noisy next to the kitchen and made the long wait for food even worse. I saw the manager go the kitchen several times to see what was going on. I am seeing that a lot of restaurants are not equipped to handle the peak season crowds. I would be willing to try it again off season."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "Was told they ran out of wine glasses, but didn't see the staff moving toward solving the problem. It took 20+ minutes before we got our first glass of wine. And I told the hostess that I wasn't happy and that she should tell the manager, but never heard more. Not the experience I'd had before and not what I wanted my out of town guests to experience."
    Dined on 7/25/2013
  • "Everything was great! A bit over priced but it is downtown Naples! Would definitely go back."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "As residents of the area, regret that we waited so long to try the restaurant. Great good and service at fair prices."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I have been To Barbatella a few times and look forward to many future visits. We received prompt, friendly service and the food was delicious. The braised beef melted in your mouth. We ordered a bottle of the Malbec which was very reasonable. The overall atmosphere made for a perfect ending to a beautiful day in Naples."

  • "We ate there once before. It was better the first time."

  • "Casual and great outdoor dining for pizza and more. Pasta portion very small otherwise good."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "two pizzas plus a pasta and appetizer. Always really good ingredients for all dishes. Presentation and execution of entrees always have something that makes them a little bit different (and better) than most restaurants in Naples."
    Dined on 2/2/2014
  • "Three of my friends enjoyed a dinner here a few nights ago. The food was great, wine was great, dessert was great (gelato - just do it). We had an excellent waiter and enjoyed wonderful service. Four of us sat around a big round outdoor table and enjoyed our meal tremendously. We were there on a Friday night and a brief trip into the interior of the restaurant made me very glad we'd requested a seat outside; the noise level inside was far beyond what I prefer for a meal and conversation with friends. But outside everything was lovely! Definitely recommend."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "I highly recommended this restaurant and we sat down and ordered a glass of wine. I ordered the large 6 oz glass and received a very small glass of wine. So we had $40 in wine before we added the food on. I had the lasagna the last time I was there and it was the best I ever had and this time it was dry. I was a little disappointed."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "We were seated promptly and our drinks came in a timely manner. When the waitress came to take our order after about 15 minutes, everything we wanted to order they were out of including plain roasted chicken. It was not a crowded nite, so it was inexcusable. We have a friend who could only find salad to eat for dinner since she is kosher. It took a long time to get the food and we had to ask twice what was taking so long. Found out that they dropped one of our entrees, so they had to start over. Portions were small. It is an expensive restaurant, so they should not run out of plain chicken and fish!!! Too many good restaurants in Naples to choose from!"

  • "Good food, great service from nice people. Becoming one of our favorites."
    Dined on 1/23/2014
  • "It was OK. We sat inside because it was chilly -- ambience would have been much better outside. Inside there was no view and nothing going on. Food was good but not off the charts."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "There were 6 of us at a booth that was extremely uncomfortable .... those booths need to be reupholstered, very uncomfortable - felt like you were sitting on a wood frame with no padding! We have been many times and it was by far the worst service we have ever experienced."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "food was good. waitress was good. However, Hostess was very rude and seated us at a very poor table after trying to seat us outside on a cold and windy evening. She had an attitude we did not appreciate."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "Had a very good Caesar Salad,and a wonderful bolognese pasta dish. Half roast chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and very attentive to us throughout the evening. We highly recommend this restaurant."
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "Great place to take out-of-towners/snowbirds. You can sit outside and do some great people watching. The food is delicious and varied so will please everyone. One of our favorite lunch/brunch spots."
    Dined on 12/22/2013
  • "Great food. We opted to eat at the bar because the table we were given was not in a great location. This is the only downside to this restaurant--some less than great seating."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "We happened to be dining here when the temperature dropped to 57 degrees outside!!! The hostess seemed over-whelmed with the cold temps and no one seemed to be in charge. We were told that if we ate outside, we could have the 3 heat lamp! The only problem was that 1/2 way through the meal, one of the heat lamps was taken away from us!! We would never have agreed to dine outside if we knew they would take away one of the heat lamps!! The food was delicious! We had the vegetarian pizza which was to die for, a salad and the lasagna which is made fresh daily and is their signature dish!!!!! I am Italian and I will tell you that you will not be disappointed! The lasagna noodles are homemade and it was simply delicious!!!"
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "Was really excited to try a new spot on 3rd street and took some friends for lunch. Sat on the patio and service was very nice. Ordered the grilled shrimp with spinach and polenta. Extremely dissappointing for $19 lunch entree. It was bland and the spinach was overcooked. The tuna "pizza" sandwich which one my guests ordered was tasty but not memorable. Maybe the kitchen is burned out by the holiday week but I don't plan to return."
    Dined on 1/6/2014
  • "the noise level is extreme....our table was near the gelato counter so extremely busy and distracting...that door was left open and due to the cool temperatures we were cold. there should be a barrier wall or doorway between the restaurant and the gelato counter---very poor design. Soup was not hot, pizza crust was burned, our bread was stale. Waiter was pleasant but disappeared often. Hesitated to dine there this time after first less than satisfactory experience. Will not return."
