Love the food here and the service is always great. Go for happy hour so you can save a lot

Came for a 5pm reservation on a warm Saturday after doing an afternoon boat cruise out of Tin City. Vergina's was pretty busy, but we were seated promptly on the front patio. Pleasant ambiance although the tables are pretty tight. Our server came and I inquired about the happy hour deal which was advertised as going until 5pm, and was told you must be seated by 4:45pm. Disappointing. She then made a big production of running through the specials by loudly clicking her fingernails on an iPad all without mentioning prices, and now after seeing some other reviews, they are overpriced and a money grab. No attempt at any hint of friendliness or even personality. Anyways we put in our order. We got our drinks fairly quickly and our app, the charred octopus dish, which was great. It had fingerling potato's, artichoke, olives, red sauce. Very nice. Some bread then came out and it was also nice. It took awhile for our entrees to come out. I had Nona's spaghetti and it was delish. The lady had a gnocchi with white truffle sauce and it was very tasty although only luke warm at best. We were full so we didn't have dessert. Our waitress never came around to check on us after taking our order. It took forever to flag her down to get our check. So I'd give Vergina props for the tasty food and nice ambiance. Demerits for indifferent and inattentive service, serving entrees that aren't hot, pushing expensive specials without giving prices and unclear happy hour policy. read more

First time at 5th ave in Naples and decided to check out Vergina . Super great vibes and live music I loved the ambiance so it did catch my attention. The service was good just didn't understand why my id has to be taken to be scanned so I can have a drink. Like scanning the id was odd .. I don't like my personal info being taken somewhere I'm not watching while the scanned or did whatever they wanted with it. So I had did have to comment about that. The food was delicious so I gave this place 4 stars. read more

The food is good. The reason for a "4" after being seated we waited 15 minutes to be waited on, plus even though the food here is good, it doesn't hold a candle to the North End of Boston. The atmosphere was great, sitting outside watching all the tourists walk by. read more

This is one of my favorite 5th Ave restaurants for many reasons. Not only is the ambience impeccable and the food excellent, the special dessert set this restaurant apart. The cotton candy head and the macaroon wheel are an absolute must!! I recommend this restaurant for your next celebration or to WOW your out of town guests! read more

Mid to the max. Overpriced for mid food that did not blow me out of the water. Honestly Bolognese was very overcooked and has no flavor despite its extremely detailed menu details. I liked the vibes but it was SO LOUD on a Saturday night cause they had live music which was very nice, but holy damn I could not even hear my own thoughts. Server was fine but I did feel extremely rushed and for some reason they gave someone in my party and iPad with pictures of their extravagant dishes with exposure on high. This makes me not want your tomahawk steak even more. Place was a mess aesthetic wise, and it was modern in some place (bathroom, iPad) and the regularly smegular in the decor. The most non cohesive place ever. Plates were being run around everywhere and forks were probably being thrown over my head. I wish the menu had more and less basic stuff, can a girl just get some pesto? THEY HAD GLUTEN FREE PASTA WHY NOT ON MENU? read more

We visited Vergina for drinks and had a wonderful time. They have a huge variation of cocktails, which we absolutely loved--there is something for everyone! Even on a Tuesday before Christmas, the restaurant was very busy, but it only added to the great atmosphere. It's a lively, festive spot that's perfect for a night out. read more

It was our first time in Naples. Our plan was to go somewhere else for dinner but we stumbled upon this. The hostess told us almost everything was half off before 5:00 so we took advantage. The food was very good, and the price was unbelievable for what we ordered. Take advantage of the happy hour deal because it truly is a bargain for such a pretty setting. read more

Dined on the patio during happy hour, enjoying the half priced menu. I ordered the lasagna for my entree and also tried the bread and the calamari appetizer. The food tasted pretty good and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was okay but a little slow. read more

My friend and I made reservations for dinner at 6:30pm on a Saturday night. We got seated out front at a 2 person table but just a warning the tables are pretty close to other tables so def not getting much privacy lol. We felt kinda rushed in the beginning with getting our drinks and food order so we were concerned the waiter was going to rush us with the check. Thankfully that didn't happen. For drinks, I did the Barbie special drink and my friend did a cucumber mojito mocktail. They were both delicious! For entrees, I did the Nonni's spaghetti & meatballs and my friend did the chicken parmesan. Both were delicious as well, but my friend said her chicken parmesan was lukewarm like it had been sitting out maybe for a bit. My pasta was the opposite, very hot had to wait for it to cool down. The table bread and olive oil was also so good, the bread tasted fresh and was warm. It was about $40 per person with food & drinks combined. It was hot but thankfully they have fans outside to keep you cool. Apparently at night they turn into a bar/dancing club which seems cool. read more

I went here and sat at the bar which was almost full at approx 4:30. I was fortunate to get a seat, and even more so when Jessica took care of me. What a pleasant soul after a rough day! My entree was Branzino with spinach which was perfectly cooked and VERY delicious! When I was given my bill, I saw that it was priced 50% due to me ordering during Happy Hour (3:30-5:00) Ambience was nice around the bar, but I did notice the tables appeared to be substandard in relation to the rest of the restaurant's ambiance.... almost look like fold up card tables? read more

This was one of the worst across the board dining experiences I've had in Naples Florida. The waiter (Antakar it Akatar...not sure spelling) was arrogant and deceptive as to cost of specials when directly ask. Food was sub par and dated and waiter was on top of us the whole time we had menus but neglected us after. Ambiance was tired. Giving us no opportunity to order additional wine or drinks after our food came. We asked for a desert menu which took 15 minutes to get and by the time waiter came back we had no time left to order desert. A restaurant riding the coat tails of its prior glory. Time for a new restaurant. read more

Review for Rocco My friends and I had a terrible experience here. The service was non-existent . No server came to our table, we eventually flagged one down and had to ask for our order to be taken. I ordered a chopped salad and the pork chop. The pork chop was completely raw, I couldn't get my fork in it. This is something a trained chef would never send out. I sent it back, but my appetite was ruined and I didn't feel comfortable eating anything else here. My friends ordered chicken parmigiana, they thought it was acceptable. Unfortunately the bad experience didn't end when we left. I was sick all night. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

ZERO STARS Edit: DO NOT GO HERE. The original review was made before they screwed us. If you are not familiar with this restaurant there is a thing called happy hour. On the website the hours are 3-5. We were charged full price and when asked about it the waiter got extremely defensive. We were extremely disappointed with the reaction they made. They refused to give us half price when it says on their website the times. DO NOT go to this place. The food is overpriced and the service doesn't care about you. The food was great and if you come at the right time it is half off. Because of this the food is more than worth the price. If it would've been full price the rating would have been lower. The place has a great ambiance overall very expensive but a nice place. read more

We had the half price dinner from 3 to 5:00pm the food and service were excellent I had the pear gnocchi and my sister had the bolognese Ended our meal with the pistachio gelato will be back read more

Food was all very good, but nothing exceptional. Their happy hour includes the entire menu- no limitations- but designates "where" you can eat. A very good deal if you're comfortable in the bar or outside on the patio. They make no accommodations for people with disabilities, which is sad and would make me not return. The bar is quite loud and rowdy- which I know just from passing thru- and it's more like a night club with pounding music. Our server was artificially sweet, but attentive none the less. The 4 star rating is for the food- to be fair- but for the whole package of a dining experience, I would have rated it much lower. I was sadly disappointed. read more

I went here expecting great things but was disappointed. We sat inside and it was so loud we couldn't hear each other across the table. The food was ok to good. The burrata and prosciutto appetizer was very good. I had carbonara which was quite good, my friend had bolognese which was ok and my other friend had spaghetti, which was average. The service was terrible. Our server, Milos, took a long time to come to the table, didn't come back to check on things, had to be flagged down for refills and didn't ask if any one else wanted a refill before running off with one person's glass. Very disappointing. On a better note, the table across from us had a birthday and they brought out a mannequin head with a cotton candy turban and a sparkler - looked like fun. read more

In town for my birthday. Went for dinner tonight for first time. 1) My recommendation; Do NOT let them seat you with server Tasha H! She was pushing everything she could to up-charge you. Her attitude was sour when you declined. But offer you complimentary bread, she never bothered to do that! I had to ask a runner. I've never paid for bottled water in a restaurant. Yet after I ordered plain water, she brought a huge bottle of Panna! When I said I would not pay for it at $9.50 and did not drink a sip of it. She argued and argued with me. It was so unprofessional! She should not have interactions with customers. I continued to ask for a Manager over her arguing. She came back and had removed the charge. When I gave her no tip, she said how dare you treat a server that way! Clearly does not understand "tips" are earned for good service! I said I was a server, you do not treat customers the way you have! She then told me to "Leave"! Management you have a problem! 3) I ordered Radiatore Bolognese. It was delicious! I would eat it again. 4) The bread was really fresh and good. Nice crunchy crust. read more

Last night we made a 7:00pm reservation at VERGINA and was greeted at our table by what started as a very nice server. I explained that my cousins were visiting and that we wanted to chat and settle a bit as they just got in town, and she said she'd come back after we settled. After about 20 min I asked someone to find her to take a drink and app order, and she finally came to take it. She never returned until I finally went to the hostess at 8:15ish and said I had enough of being ignored and this and they got her. She immediately made excuses about helping some guests from Spain who didn't speak English and personally at this point I didn't care...I was embarrassed for my family and had planned to have a great night. She took 3 of the 4 orders and when she came to me, I asked are there any specials???? That was the first time we heard them after almost everyone ordered. Dinner was ok, the sound level was extremely loud for a meaningful conversation, and the service was poor and while I don't usually write reviews i felt compelled to do so. It appeared that there were lots of servers, so I don't think it was a lack of staff causing the lack of service, but who knows. There are too many great restaurants on 5th Avenue and in Naples but for me this was a huge disappointment and I'll never be back. I have lived in Naples for a dozen years and this is the first time i can honestly say that this was my worst dining experience....I guess that's not a terrible record but that was what we experienced.

I was a little shocked to see some negative reviews. We had a wonderful experience. We had reservations and were seated right away. Hieki greeted us with a smile and was very attentive during our entire time at Vergina's. The food was outstanding. I asked for my salmon medium rare and it was cooked perfect. The rice and vegetables were great and loved the little amount of basil aïoli. I've seen some negative comments of their prices. It's Naples, you're not going to get a cheap meal. I feel like it was well worth the money for the area. Thanks Hieke for a very pleasant dining experience! read more

The start was very pushy on the specials with an iPAD and about 20 specials. No pricing, you had to ask, many were about $90. Server was just not very engaged. We ordered a bottle of wine but no overpriced specials. I wouldn't go back. Lasagna was the saving grace. read more

The entire staff was on point! Our waiter was so personable--I wish I had written his name down. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday (table of 4), and every one of us left extremely satisfied. I'm not sure why this spot is rated a 3 overall, because in my opinion it deserves much higher. The drinks were great, and the live music added so much to the ambiance.

Hands down, this is one of our favorite restaurants. The Happy Hour is unbeatable. They give 50% off on their dinner menu and on a good number of their drinks. Importantly, you get a full meal, not a smaller portion. My wife and I love the fried calamari. It is served with both a red sauce and a spicy "Asian style" sauce. This appetizer is simply outstanding. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. My wife ordered the cioppino. The chef always cooks the pasta to perfection. Our friends split the lasagna and raved about it. I wish I could critique their desserts, but the truth is we are always too full from the amazing entrees to order dessert. If you get a chance, give this restaurant a try. The ambiance of the alley tables will make you feel you are in Italy. The wait staff is outstanding. Ask for Hieke, she was the best!

So far our Anniversary, Valentines Day, and my birthday have been spent at Vergina just for the Pear Fiocchi! The sweetness of the pear and the truffle oil and parmessan cheese combination is something to die for. We come time and time again, and it never disappoints. Probably the best dish I've ever had! 10/10. read more

Extremely overpriced. I don't recommend dinner there. The dishes are very basic yet they charge a significant premium for them. The grilled salmon was a small portion of salmon with 4 pieces of aspagus for $40. A lobster tail with a few lobster ravioli was $90. Neither were particularly notable -- you can easily make them better at home. Service was rushed. They clearly wanted us to order and eat quickly so they could turn the table over. If you feel the need to go to Vergina, just go to the bar, have an over priced drink, and find somewhere else to go for dinner. read more

Food was good but took too long to be served. Steak and eggs were served cold without bread. Took several times requesting bread to actually get bread it service-20 minute wait! Ambiance was very nice, decor good sitting on terrace we had a nice breeze from street , even though it was 85 degrees. Service was inefficient unfriendly, condescending. Some of the waitress should pick another profession other than customer service. read more

Beautiful restaurant with an outdoor patio that was open for seating. We loved the lighting and location. I ordered the scallop special and it was amazing. The risotto was cooked just right. Our table ordered the burrata as an appetizer and it never came. We had to ask to have it removed from the bill. Overall very good quality food though. read more

My wife and I had dinner at Virgina on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. We had made a reservation in advance, and allowed plenty of time for parking as it's a real challenge in this area. We were seated outdoor promptly as requested, and received a friendly greeting from our waitress. We were in and out in about an hour (we did not order any appetizers or desert) which was the pace we wanted. It's my understanding they have live music starting around 8:30pm but it was not setup before we left around that time. They served some warm bread. Then my wife ordered the chicken marsala and I the chicken parmesan. We both enjoyed our meals, the pace and ambiance. Pricing is around $25 per item which is reasonable for the area. For us, the food was good, the service friendly, and ambiance relaxing and the pace relaxed but not slow. read more

Our gang of 4 enjoyed our return to Vergina on Fifth Avenue South. Dined alfresco on a clear November afternoon. Abundant outdoor seating. We chose Caesar, Greek and Avenue salads. For entrees, chose Iceberg Wedge Salad with Shrimp, Cioppino (Fisherman's Stew), Four-cheese & Pear Fiocchi in a cream sauce, and Chicken Parmesan. While I enjoyed the Cioppino in a tomato and wine broth, I would choose instead Linguine Vongole next visit. Italian bread with olive oil was delightful. Brewskies were Peroni draught. Service was warm and friendly. Open daily, lunch and dinner. Tips: * Bar Happy Hour daily, 3-5 pm * Live entertainment starting 8:30 pm * Reservations essential, mid-Nov thru April. read more
