  • "Delicious tapas and the server[s] were exceptionally helpful in their recommendations. Unfortunately, my wife and I thought most items were a bit pricey. There are just too many alternatives in Naples."

  • "We rate this as one of the three best places to dine in Naples FL> The co-owners are true chefs, presentation, selection are first class.The wine list is unique and carefully thought out. Highly recommended!"

  • "Have dined at IM Tapas 3 times so far. Everything is just so good. Isabella (chef) is wonderful. She's right on with the paella and that huge lobster tail in the middle. Had empanadas there for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed them. Wish I had ordered more. If you're looking for a great spanish restaurant you must try IM Tapas. Muchas gracias."

  • "This is only the second time that I've posted comments on Open Table. That's how good I.M. Tapas is! Don't let the simplicity of how the dishes sound fool you - Olive Mix, Lentil Salad, or Croquettes for example. The complexity of the flavors and the absolute perfection on how the dishes were prepared (it's apparent that the Chef takes great pride in their craft) is just incredible. The service was also outstanding. Our waiter was so enthusiastic when he described the menu items that I thought he was one of the owners (he said he was not). Don't miss this one. For the food and service it's the best I've had in Naples!"

  • "IM Tapas is an interesting place. Food was good, service attentive and quick. Prices were a bit steep. Would go back but be more careful in ordering. The beef, chicken and artichokes were delicious. The $19 cheese pieces We're okay but not worth the high price."

  • "The food at IM Tapas was delicious, as always. It's just a shame that the restaurant isn't busier. We had venison carpaccio and spinach to start and then shared a very ample seafood paella. The rice in the paella was particularly tasty. "

  • "This place is really good. The food created here is inventive and masterfully done. If you enjoy and appreciate fine cuisine, hurry to I M Tapas!"

  • "Nothing negative here, but with all of the good places in town it doesn't make sense to go off beaten path to go here. Nice people, nice little place, average food"
    Dined on 4/22/2014
  • "We moved here from Chicago and have been looking extremely hard for restaurants that come even close to the culinary heaven that is Chicago. I M Tapas is one. The food was excellent. The Paella is cooked to order which is key. The wait staff are willing to listen and work with you. If you need to eat fast, they'll bring the food out fast. If you want to linger, which the restaurant suggests, promotes, and prefers, they will bring your dishes to you slowly. We prefer this style as we enjoy long dinner conversations, good food, good wine, and each others' company. We finally found a restaurant that allows us to do what we enjoy. View is non-existent and parking is tough. Come a bit early and sit inside."
    Dined on 4/19/2014
  • "If you know what tapas are, you should go somewhere else. The taste of the food was poor at best. You get the impression that someone who has no familiarity is cooking in the back. We tried seven dishes, some of them - like the Moroccan crusted pork skewer (is this really a tapa) were so overly spiced as to be inedible. We saw a car park, come on, look around and leave abruptly. By the end of the meal I wished that I had seen as smart as that car."

  • "We try to go several times a month for our Isabel and Mary tapas fix. Addiction to great food!"
    Dined on 4/16/2014
  • "As always, the food at IM Tapas was excellent. We had the white anchovies, the octopus, the duck, ramps, and one other dish that I don't remember."
    Dined on 4/10/2014
  • "First time there. Great Tapsa food and service. Ambiance inside was very nice. Outside not. Take a table well inside the small seating area so you don't need to look outside at various car businesses across the street. We will go back for the food. Very good."
    Dined on 4/7/2014
  • "I.M. Tapas is off the beaten path in Naples but delivers exceptional Spanish food, including imaginative tapas and great paella. Unlike the very good restaurants on the main drags (Fifth Ave South, South Third Street), I.M. Tapas is quiet and soothing, a great break from the hubbub."
    Dined on 4/4/2014
  • "Good. Located in a shopping mall strip facing a car repair store. Tapas were tasty."
    Dined on 4/4/2014
  • "Everything is great as usual. We discovered it last year and have returned many times. Everyone we send there is very happy. We want lots of people to go to make sure it stays there. This place is a gem. You will not be sorry you tried IM Tapas, I promise you."
    Dined on 4/3/2014
  • "Relaxing relief from the often pretentious Naples dining scene. Terrific assortment of small plates to share with friends or family. Cheese plate not to be missed, many good wines to choose from. Wait staff knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a keeper!"
    Dined on 3/31/2014
  • "I have had a lot of tapas in great restaurants in North America, Asia and Europe and was disappointed in IM Tapas. To begin, the menu is very light on quality cold vegetable dishes such as classic asparagos. Main dishes were pricey, even for two. The deep-fried calamari, while not overcooked, had a distinct taste of flour. The chorizo was competent but unattractively presented. We did enjoy the stuffed artichoke hearts and shrimp but found the bread hard unless saturated with oil. Maybe it was an off night, or perhaps expectations in Naples are generally low, but this restaurant did not achieve the ratings given by previous reviewers. Nice place with friendly staff that just needs to up its game."
    Dined on 3/31/2014
  • "WE always have an enjoyable evening at IM Tapas. The food is excellent, and done with such Spanish flair.. We always try some of our favorites that we enjoyed in Spain and add something new from the menu. The stuffed artichokes were so good that we had to get a second plate. We also enjoy the selection of cheeses that are available from Spain. Best to have at least 4 people. It is an anomaly in Naples. The atmosphere is quiet and you can hear yourself talk."
    Dined on 3/25/2014
  • "Second visit, and I took a visiting friend who is an incredible cook and makes cheese as a hobby. This friend has taken us to incredible restaurants over the years, Tiffin Wallah in NYC, Bocuse at CIA in Poughkeepsie, etc. So there we were. We ordered white anchovies, stuffed squash blossoms, cod fritters, octopus with potatoes, and a salad. For dessert , we split the 5 cheese board. We had a lovely white Spanish wine that my friend knew to order. The meal was perfect in every detail."
    Dined on 3/28/2014
  • "A really nice variety from familar items to unusual fare. Love that it is small and long so it stays quiet and sheltered. Wait staff was extremely good- there when you needed them, not a bothering you when you didn't want them around! Chef who explained tyhe cheese did a great job. Enjoyable all around!"
    Dined on 3/28/2014
  • "IM Tapas is a true restaurant-gem in Naples, a city with many, many restaurants. The décor, ambience, food, wine and service are excellent. Located on 4th Avenue North, one-half block east of Tamiami Trail, IM Tapas is unlike the numerous casual and rustic nearby restaurants. Rather, IM Tapas would fit-in with honors on 5th Avenue South or Third Street South. Every tapas dish that my wife and I ordered was beautifully presented and delicious, the artichoke hearts filled with Serrano & Manchego being our favorite. If you want a large dish instead of tapas, IM offers larger plates including paella, duck, lamb, chicken and sea bass. IM Tapas quickly became one of our favorite restaurants."

  • "We had a lovely dinner. Food and service were very good. Atmosphere was pleasant, with a female vocalist who was entertaining but not overpowering. The location is off the beaten path but well worth the trip. We will definitely return."

  • "IM Tapas has great food and had great service. All new wait staff. New staff cannot get orders correct, do not stage tapas correctly, and ignore patrons. So sorry."

  • "If you haven't tried IM's, you're missing a treat. We've been there time and again, and it just doesn't disappoint. Occasionally the service can be spotty, but that's not the norm at this 5 star jewel."

  • "As always this is a go to place....wonderful Variety well prepared and nicely presented.....Good value"
    Dined on 3/24/2014
  • "Wonderful Tapas place just five minutes from Old Naples- easy to park which was nice. The Spanish wines were terrific, and the wine list provided descriptions which were very helpful, The waiter attentive, and the tapas were fabulous. We hope to return when we are visiting Naples again."

  • "Looks like a storefront in an area that wouldn't suggest great food. It was delicious. One owner was there and he was pleasant and welcoming. We 3 pre-teens with us, the only kids in the restaurant that night, and they enjoyed dinner. The kids were treated very well...it helps that they are adventurous eaters. We had a wide variety of small plates and a couple of main courses. All were well made and had great flavors. Portions on the small plates were a better value than the entree sized dishes. Price would be my only knock on IM Tapas. A slightly larger portion or a couple of dollars less per plate and the value would be outstanding. The location isn't 5th Avenue; the food quality is but prices shouldn't be. Go for the food!"

  • "Tapas were good. Atmosphere was nice. Service was good."

  • "The fun of tapas is the opportunity to try a wide variety of tastes and flavors. IM Tapas has an excellent variety of dishes to try, each with a unique touch. Starting with warm olive tray with garlic and almonds, the zucchini blossoms stuffed with goat cheese, the empanadas with beef and pork, artichoke hearts, duck confit - all had wonderful touches! The service was a little uneven but the overall atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. A very pleasant and delicious evening!"

  • "Here's a chance to try many, many different takes on tapas and all of them are really good. Tried to think of which one was best, but they were all in the top tier."

  • "You can not give this place enough kudos - off the charts."
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "If this restaurant were on 41 or 5th avenue it would be packed. They have had some changes in servers recently but the owners make sure it is a special place. We love each and every dish each time...no joke. Loved the artichoke, empanadas, garlic shrimp, blossom tapas, and duck. Really no misses!! Keep up the good work!!"

  • "We come from the Boston area, have visited Barcelona and have not found a tapas restaurant as good as IM Tapas! Great food, great service. Prices on some of the tapa dishes may surprise you but you can easily enjoy an affordable dining experience. YUMMY! Great wine too."

  • "One of the best meals I've had in my life, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Bravo!"
