Diner Reviews
  • "We enjoyed IM Tapas. Spanish food isn't the most common in the US and they did a very good job here. The beat salad with goat cheese was small but excellent. The sliced beef was fairly generous, with delicious spices and cooked perfectly. The potatoes and spinach that we had with it were nicely prepared. The staff was the friendliest, most helpful that we've had in a while. There were so many different options on the menu from piella to chorizo, that we're looking forward to a return visit."

  • "This restaurant is in an odd location but behind the black windows and door is great food, and lovely service. The atmosphere was wonderfully quiet which is unusual for a Naples restaurant. The décor and lighting was restful and tasteful. The food is unusual and beautifully prepared. The wait staff was very well informed about both the food and the wine list. It was a great experience."

  • "The small plates were very different, but very pricey for what you get. The food was good , but in our opinion, not worth the price. The sangria was very tasty, but the dessert, rice pudding was warm and gloppy!! For a spanish restaurant, it should be awesome. It was like something you would get in a diner. I wasn't impressed at all. I don't think that we would return. But the menu is different and unique from most restaurants in Naples."

  • "We have been meaning to try this restaurant; we found it was well worth it. We went on the Sunday after Valentine's Day, so the restaurant was pretty quiet. We had seen a prior positive write-up about the sangria, so we ordered a carafe. There were at least 4 glasses of Sangria in the carafe, perfect for two of us. We split the calamari, duck and potatos, all of them were excellent. Had a chocolate "something" for dessert, which was also very good. Overall, a wonderful experience! Paul & Judi Cape Cod, MA"

  • "The food is both inventive and authentic....you could be in San Sebastian or Madrid. Wonderful croguetas, sausages, salads, octopus. The service is expert and informed, and the by-the-glass list ranges wide and deep---3 different albarinos. The 2 owner=chefs will likely come out to see how you liked the food. Slightly out of the way for visitors, but so worth looking for---it's the kind of neighborhood restaurant everyone wishes they had in their neighborhood!"

  • "I'm a frequent visitor to Barcelona, and have probably been to every little Tapas restaurant in the Born district. IM Tapas was as good, if not better than the best I've been to. I'd highly recommend it for an authentic experience."

  • "Our favorite waiter left IM Tapas recently, so we were slightly apprehensive, but without merit, because nothing really changed. It is hard to say which restaurant in Naples has the best menu and food, but certainly IM Tapas is in the top 5, and no other has a menu as varied and fresh."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "The menu offers a variety of superb dishes. Very good, but this place only offers wine. Please keep that in mind. Quiet, with a nice feel. The only server was overwhelmed."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "Great food on a consistent basis. A surprise find in a non-descript location. Superb Serrano ham and awesome cheese plate, delicious spinach and zucchini blossoms. The best lamb chops and grass fed beef. It's Naples best kept secret. The flower less chocolate cake is superb. Skip the ice cream."

  • "Great tapas restaurant. Expensive but oh so worth it."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "Although the food is outstanding, the evening was ruined by abysmal service. In the past we have had good service from a waiter who was engaged and invested in our dining experience. At our last visit we had a waitress who provided poor service and was unapologetic when we asked for our check after having been seated for over an hour without even a salad being served."

  • "The Venison dis was outstanding. All of the other tapas plates were very good."

  • "Very good choice of tapas to taylor everyone's taste. Good service and pleasant spanish style decor. We could not really judge the ambience as it was not busy on super bowl night. We will return when we want to treat several friends or family members"

  • "The food was excellent at IM Tapas. We enjoyed every dish that we ordered. Be aware that the when they say small plates, they really mean small plates. So, you might want to order a dish or two more than you would at other tapas retaurants. It appeared that the restaurant might have been slighly understaffed since the service was slow, and we did not appear to have the full attention of our waiter. Also, the restaurant does not service liquor, but the wines available were adequate for our needs."

  • "We ended up liking IM Tapas very much but it had a rocky start. It's a small restaurant and there is no hostess stand. When you walk in, you are awkwardly right in the dining area. We stood around for at least 5 or 6 minutes until someone acknowledged us and sat us at at table. But, once settled, the server was delightful and very helpful. The tapas menu has a good variety of dishes and all that we tasted were very good. We asked for a wine suggestion and were able to taste 2 different ones. This restaurant is a little off the beaten path but the food was fresh and tasty and the service very good."

  • "Part of I M Tapas charm is that it is somewhat invisible from the street. That being said, they could draw more diners with a more appealing storefront. The paella was the best I've ever had; more flavorful than I found in Sevilla Spain. I thought the tapas prices were too high and not remarkable, but we'll be back for the paella and wine, not the tapas."

  • "This was our first visit to IM Tapas and before we left the restaurant all four of us said we would definitely go back. Nice atmosphere, service, and a variety of creative and well prepared dishes presented beautifully. When we arrived at 6:30 for dinner there were tables available but they quickly filled in. The tables were all occupied when we left. We had a very enjoyable evening!"

  • "Very well orchestrated tapas service. Excellent dishes. Nice range of wines."

  • "Outstanding food, great service. And most importantly, consistent. This has become our "go to" restaurant in Naples. We have taken 7 other couples, and all rave about I.M.Tapas"
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "If you haven't been there, don't wait. We waited 3 years, while we lived about 10 blocks away. What a mistake, as IM, as we call it is one of the very best eateries in Naples. It is much more than a tapas place, so the name is deceptive, nevertheless their tapas are the best to be found in the region. The owners, waiter staff and employees are very friendly, and if you're not sure what to order, just let them get you started, you won't regret it."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "It was a quiet Monday Night at this outstanding restaurant. We had made reservation. When we arrived we were seated promptly. Great atmosphere. Food suggestions were right on wonderful, including the wine. Two results - Tapas is definitely a great way to enjoy a meal, and we definitely will seek this restaurant out when next in Naples."

  • "The wide variety of tapas at IM Tapas will keep just about anyone happy. But foodies will be absolutely thrilled by the high quality of the ingredients (duck, lamb, seafood) as well as the subtle flavoring that make each dish distinctive and memorable. If you are trying to impress foodie friends, this is definitely the place to take them. But it is also a wonderful place for a special dinner with a small party of friends, or a romantic evening. The background music of Spanish jazz sets the mood but leaves plenty of room for conversation. We very much appreciated the leisurely pace of the dinner; there was time to enjoy each dish, and the staff was genuinely warm and attentive. We will be back!"

  • "My husband and I love coming to IM Tapas for predictably delicious small plates of yummy perfection! Keep in mind that the portions are not that big and are meant to be shared so you can sample a variety of food. We order at least five plates during each visit which we've discovered is our cutoff for getting just full enough. Geoff, our server, always recommends the best wines to accompany the meal and ensures the best order and timing of our food to be delivered. This is definitely not an inexpensive place to eat, but if you understand the concept of "tapas" and appreciate the quality and execution of the dishes that are prepared for you, then you will surely enjoy it as much as we do."

  • "We've been there many times, and each time is as good or better than than before. What's not to like about a neighborhood gem that always delivers great food and service, with convenience to boot?"
    Dined on 12/22/2013
  • "IM Tapas is special in many ways, but the most special is the food which is peerless is quality and presentation. There is no place like like it in Naples, and we have been back again and again to enjoy the Tapas and many other special dishes. The best thing I can suggest is just make a reservation org drop in for a meal or even drinks. The Spanish beers and wines are very outstanding and many of the dishes cannot be found anywhere in the area. We've been to Spain several times, and the food at IM Tapas is better than some of the best Tapas offerings there. Need I say more?"

  • "we went there on a Thursday evening. Not many people there. Had Chanterel mushrooms, pork with Moroccan spices and Mussels. We thought the pork and mussel dishes were "to die for!" All food was fabulous!! Wine by the glass was also excellent! Waiter perfect! Can't wait to go back again with more friends. A real find!"

  • "Whenever we want to take friends to a special dining spot, this is it. Not only is the food extraordinary, but the seating, noise level and pace of dining is conducive to conversation. On this visit we had the special of the whole branzino - wonderful! Isabel is a genius with imagination and techniques. Going back this weekend with different visiting friends and family."
