The Argentinian
Michelle L.

My husband and I had our first dinner together in Naples and this was the perfect meal. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Everything we ordered was beyond delicious. Started with an appetizer of the cheese fondue with plantains, husband ordered the lemon chicken breast dinner and I ordered the Argentinian. We had a beverage of coconut lemonade. This was one of the best meals we had ever had, and if we come to Naples again, we would most definitely return. Thank you such a superb meal and experience!!

Grilled octopus

Excellent customer service by chef & host! Food was absolutely delicious & amazing!!! Perfect to the tastebuds for me, my mom, and husband. We will definitely come again. It was quiet since it was late & we were lucky that this local gem was open.

Complimentary black bean hummus and plantain chips
Karen L.

This area of North Naples has very few innovative, top end restaurants, so I was very excited when Islas Modern Caribe opened last week. The restauranteur/chef knows his stuff, as he is also the owner of the one and only El Basque in Bonita Springs. Islas Modern Caribe is focused on the flavors of the Caribbean. The owner/chef John stopped by our table to introduce himself, gave us a complementary black bean hummus amuse-bouche, and explained the restaurant's concept. He also explained that he had plans to do some interior renovations to make the atmosphere more special. Our server Rosie was very attentive and explained all the menu items in more detail. We ordered and shared several items: Shrimp Rellenos - this appetizer was very unique, and consisted of 3 "cups" made from crisp plantains and filled with shrimp and a tomato salsa. Jerk Coco - jerk chicken in a delicious, deeply flavored sauce, served with coconut rice and spinach. Crispy Pargo, which was a pan fried red snapper. It was very crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The portion was quite large. It came with cilantro rice. This was a favorite! Ceviche Caribe - it was good but not our favorite. For a newly opened restaurant, the ambiance, service, and food were all flawless and we had a great evening. Highly recommend this awesome new restaurant in North Naples! TIP: It's tucked in a plaza behind a plaza adjacent to Imperial Golf Estates and is a bit difficult to see if you're not familiar with the area. There's plenty of parking in the lot in front of the restaurant.

One of the absolute best fettuccine in Naples! The octopus was perfection. Which is easy to get bad. Try it!

Went to Rumba Cuban Cafe and it's hands down the best Cuban food I've had in Naples. No question…read more It's not my Cuban kitchen, but it's the closest thing I've found out here. The food is flavorful, well seasoned, and done right. Nothing overpowered, nothing sloppy, just solid, authentic cooking that actually hits. You can tell this place is built on real recipes and consistency, not shortcuts. The vibe is simple, casual, and exactly what it should be. No fluff, just good food and people who know what they're doing. If you're in Naples and craving Cuban, this is the spot.

By far, the best Cuban food I have tried! Rumba Cuban Cafe has amazing reviews on Yelp and Google…read morewith good reason! As soon as you enter, staff are quick to take care of you and make you feel at home. Our server Rosi made sure we were well taken care of and treated us like family. We started with their Mojito which was beyond fresh tasting and well balanced in flavor. They had cups prepared on the bar counter as it must be a staple item for them. We also ordered the Cuban Sandwich (full order) and a side of Sweet Plantains. The food was made fresh to order and you could tell from the taste. The Cuban is the best I've experienced with fresh bread, quality meat, and good portions of sauce/cheese. The portion as well was a great size or enjoy when hungry or share. The Sweet Plantains came with about 5-6 pieces. Most guests were also ordering a cuban coffee to enjoy. Overall, this was a great lunch spot! If you want to experience authentic cuban food when in the area, Rumba Cuban Cafe will not disappoint! Tip: Check their hours before going. They are open 10am - 3pm weekdays only.

+ (5+ Stars) - Fernando the Bull…read more This place delivers more than just a meal. It delivers an experience that stays with you. From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell it was made with care, pride, and tradition. Every bite had purpose. I started with the yuca rellena, and it set the tone right away. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was packed with flavor. The filling was rich and well-seasoned, creating the perfect balance of texture and taste. It was not just good, it was memorable. The pork sandwich was outstanding. The pork was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. Each bite had a deep, savory flavor that felt authentic and satisfying. Nothing was rushed or thrown together. You could taste the time and attention behind it. The yellow rice and beans were exactly what they should be. Simple, flavorful, and comforting. This is the kind of side dish that does not try to steal the show, but still stands strong on its own. The fried yuca brought everything together. Golden, crisp, and cooked perfectly, it added that extra layer of texture that made the entire meal complete. What stood out most was the consistency. Every item on the plate was done right. No shortcuts. No weak spots. Just solid, high-quality food across the board. If you are looking for real flavor, real portions, and food made with pride, this is a place you need to visit. I will absolutely be back.

This Cuban restaurant is one of the best I've had . The…read moreservice was spot on as our drinks and appetizers came promptly followed by our meal for four . The black beans and rice combo is amazing. We loved all dishes and was very impressed with the service The inside is family friendly and the have outside seating too w/ music performance. If in the area it's a must try and will truly enjoy .
