Description: In creating our Cafe, we wanted to bring a piece of Italy to Naples, Florida. As in Italy you'll find a small, family run restaurant, where the owners are the chefs. Our menu is not large, but what we offer is undoubtedly of the finest quality available, made with passion and love! There are no trans fats, no preservatives, no pre-made sauces or artificial flavorings. The recipes and ingredients are as they were 100 years ago. As one of our guests said, "Dining at Caffe dell'Amore is like a trip to Italy, without the passport". Our Chef/Owners passionately dedicate themselves to seeking out the very best ingredients, hand selecting locally grown, organic produce for ripeness and flavor and they use only organic meats and wild catch seafood. Fragrant Italian meats and luscious cheeses are flown in daily. Scrumptious bread and deserts are lovingly baked every morning. All served in our award winning, romantic, well appointed dining room, that was hand painted by an Italian artist

On our finally evening in Naples we chose to try a simple stylish restaurant away from the main strip. We were not disappointed Dominic was very welcoming and interested to know where we were from and how we had found his restaurant. We said we had researched on the internet for something a little bit special as we were heading... More

We had a wonderful authentic Italian dining experience at Caffe dell'amore this evening. Dominic,who is also one of the owners, greeted us at the door and for the entire evening provided us with impeccable service and assistance. Starting with the wonderful mussels appetizers with the most tasty breadsticks our meal continued to the most fitting Italian end of tiramisu(which was... More

We took good friends to "our" restaurant last evening. Dominic's warm welcome was only the beginning of another remarkable and romantic evening. Special entree sausage and peppers, sustainably grown and prepared, was fabulously paired with a pasta shaped like calamari, and perfectly al dente. Our friends were switching from white to red wine, so Dominic's recommendation was spot on: a... More

Using the recommendations from Trip Advisor, we tried Caffe Dell’Amore and we very pleased with the food and the service. It is a quiet, refined setting with cloth table settings. I started with a Speck and Parmigiano Salad – which topped organic mixed greens with Speck (smocked prosciutto) finished with shaved parmigiano reggiano cheese. It was flavorful and tangy. Others...

Thank you for a really detailed review. I am so pleased you seemed to be impressed with your experience with us. I am sorry for the gratuity situation, however it is clearly printed on the bottom of the first page of the menu, that the house policy is to add a 20% gratuity to parties of six or more, discounted...

Very small, intimate restaurant on gulf shore rd. that is difficult to find. I had the lasagna and it was outstanding, my wife had the lobster ravioli that she thought was outstanding. We had a nice bottle of an italian blend for $40. Domenic the owner is very outgoing. A very nice dining experience but has a somewhat limited menu.... More

We decided to go back to Caffe dell'Amore after an amazing first experience. This time my mom from Argentina was in town and she wanted to take us to a nice place to celebrate our second anniversary.

Little restaurant in a commercial building of mixed use. One of the owners, Dominic welcomed and seated us. He was very nice and warm. Menu has a small variety but all the items were very interesting. Our food was quickly delivered, and was very good. Service was spot on as well. Very nice place. Highly recommended.

This restaurant, located in a mixed-use building in a residential area, is slightly difficult to find, but worth the trouble. Decor is 'strip mall improved,' but unobjectionable. If you were contemplating a romantic evening overlooking the water, you may wish to consider different venues. The menu is not extensive but the food is thoughtfully conceived and well executed. Service is... More
