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

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

Great happy hour! Food is always consistent, drinks are good and enjoy dining outside, although the area gets crowded and very busy, but never had any issues. I have frequented this restaurant often. 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

Eric and Mauro made our Xmas dinner for 6 amazing. The service and food exceptions they made for our table were over the top. All while they had a line out the door. I had the best La Carbenera I ever eaten. Thank you. Great atmosphere as well. 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

It's a mix of disappointment and sometimes good experience. The food itself is ok, but that atmosphere I have found to be quite strange depending on the day of visit. For a quick bite with the girls , this would do - but for any type of date night , formal dining or business meetings , I would not recommend. read more

Four cheese and pear fiocchi recommended from the waitress was outstanding!!! Spaghetti and meatballs was outstanding great sauces!!! I normally order Cesar but gave into my wife. This Ave Salad was very good!!! The restaurant was very clean and holds a lot of people. We are here visiting but after 4 days we decided this was the best restaurant we ate at. We went to some good expensive places and by far this was the best!!!! Waitress was excellent very friendly!!! read more

We went to the Flamenco show we highly recommend. A great 2-1/2 hour show. We give this a 5 Star. The meal is served during the show with a set menu with three entree options. We give the food a 3 star. read more

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

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

I preface this review with two notes: this is a true story that happened to real people, this is not a script from a sitcom and I really was looking forward to going to this restaurant. Allow me to set the scene: we were a group of 12 friends with a reservation for a 6:45 table outside. We all arrived at the restaurant by 6:35 pm. Our leader checked in with the hostess desk at 6:35 once all guests arrived and was told our table would be ready in 10 to 15 minutes.....tick,tick, tick. At 7 pm we check back with the hostess stand and were reprimanded by the hostess for requesting an outside table....tick, tick, tick. After much prodding we were seated at 7:30, 45 minutes after our reservation time and 55 minutes after we checked in. We are seated at a table for 8 with 12 place settings. They expected 5 adults to share two benches that had arms on them. We grabbed a chair from another table and squeezed in to this situation. We were greeted by our waiter with the statement:"we do not serve tap water, if you want water you have to pay for it." Nice way to greet 12 squished guests who have been waiting 45 minutes for a table. At some point, a server drops a red glass of wine behind us and it splatters on two guests. The statement from the server:"it will dry." No apology, no, let me get you something.. Orders are finally taken, I order a dish and specifically ask for no tomatoes and no onions. The waiter giggles and says no onions are included in that dish but I will note it. When my dinner arrives it has onions and tomatoes. Another guest is handed my plate. When I bring it to the waiter's attention he grabs the other guest's dish and switches it will mine and then admonishes me because I am not smiling The servers proceed to bring the remaining 10 dishes and begin to auction off the dishes because they have no idea who ordered what. There are four chicken parm orders. There are three with gigantic pieces of chicken and one with a piece half the size. Then the best I saved for last. They break a glass next to me. It shatters all over my legs. The response of our server: "I don't see any blood", no apology, nothing. What a night. Perhaps the owners need to give their staff a few lessons in hospitality and how to treat customers. Seriously, no water, 45 minute wait, seating 12 at a table for 8, a hostess who reprimands customers, waiters that do not know the meaning of an apology? Where were these people raised? I am saddened by this experience. We live in Naples all year and I would hate to think how visitors would feel if they were treated this way. Not a good look for Naples, 5th Ave or this restaurant. 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.

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

Ate here with my wife and teenager. For a 5th Ave location in Naples, place did not live up to the vibe. The service was slow. For a Saturday 4p crowd, one would expect more punctual service. There were probably 20 wait staff individuals present and our lady came to see us thrice. To take our order, to bring water and to bring a check. She may have had too many tables to wait on. I had pasta. Some pasta requires spoon. There was no spook provided. As far as food went, count the amount of the shells on the picture of Linguine Vongole provided. Perhaps eight? I'll say, that's meager; outright cheap. read more

We love this restaurant! Try the pear Fiocchi, wow! So good! Great food and service! We make sure we visit Vergina when we are in town!

Ambience is nice, location, entertainment. Food meh. Carbonara was overly creamy, not enough pancetta. Salad was decent but shrimp were unimpressive. Drink was meh. Bread was great. read more

Food is OK....decent! Disappointed with the service. Our server was inattentive, and we had to ask a bus boy for a food container because Karistiana wanted to argue about the size of the food container we should take home. She made it so awkward. Lobster tail was soft & mushy. The restaurant has a very great vibe. The bands are amazing. Just wish to service and the food would have been a little bit better. read more

I went here for lunch with a rather large group- my parents, siblings, & great aunt + uncle; I had some reservations as I can be a bit of a Yelp snob and try to stick to restaurants with 4+ stars, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is on the fancier & more $ side for sure. I ordered the four pear fiocchi, it had an intense but tasteful variety of flavors! Some other notable dishes- my father had the PESTO GNOCCHI WITH SCALLOPS which had a good ratio of scallops to pasta; my mother had the Monticello which wasn't as good as the pastas but not bad. read more

Best happy hour on 5th Ave South!! 1/2 price on entire food menu and most of the drinks. Portions were huge, not small for happy hour. Our gullets enjoyed eggplant Parm, calamari, Wagyu, meat, balls. All on the tasty side, no complaints. 411 on happy hour - starts at 3:30 to 5:00. Last seating is 4:30. Darko our sever was on top of his game - props to him from Montenegro. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Wish I had read reviews before coming here. We were recommended to try this restaurant and while the atmosphere is great it is a complete scam. The waitress spoke quickly and quietly, pressuring us to order without giving us time to go over the menu. Our mistake for not asking the price of a special but while most entrees cost between $40-$50 our dish cost $155. Food was nothing special and service wasn't great. read more

I've lived in Naples for 14 years and this place never fails to deliver. Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! I can't say enough. My ribeye, spot on! My wife her truffled braised lamb phenomenal! Drinks were tasty! Sangria, spritz, mojitos and spicy margaritas all delivered! Sorry. Those weren't all mine. There were 7 of us. All left fat n happy! Thank you Vergina! Keep up the great work! read more

It's just okay Italian. Expensive for what you get. And absolutely do not get the kids chicken fingers, both those and the French fries were very overcooked and hard to eat. read more

Good food. Bar was very busy. I was not a huge fan of the oats with clams. However everykne else really enjoyed the various other items including calamari and meatballs. Seafood and fish all good. Service wasn't the best. He didn't check on us very often I saw other tables getting bread with dinner. We did not but maybe you had to order it. My only negative. Very crowded restroom area in back of crowded bar and gets trashed by the bar goers so not the cleanest (they try). Worth a visit for a good bar scene and good food. read more

Vergina - Current menu different then online menu - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

Most Italian places in Naples dress up American food in Italian clothes. Why do I say that? Because in every single place you will find fixtures such as Veal Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Veal Picatta, fettucine Alfredo and the list goes on and on. This place is no different. It offers other things such as seafood, steaks and many Surf & Turf options and you will definitely eat well, but just as well as you would anywhere else in Napleas. Nothing truly memorable. Service ok. read more

Milo was exceptional, fun and great service. Food was delicious. Hostesses need to pay better attention and keep better track of empty tables...seating for a combination of 18 seats sat empty for an hour and a half while hopeful guests stood in line. That impacts tips for wait staff..wake up ladies. read more

Stumbled along this place because me and my friend was walking down fifth Avenue shops and restaurants to check out which restaurant was the busiest to go eat at. I'm new to Naples so I did a little social media and yelp review research on what to eat on 5th Ave. this place in particular wasn't really on my list because the upper reviews look bad. But a night out with girls they offered us free drinks if we dined in. We told them we would be back after we checked out some other places to see, but we eventually came back here. The place is big has dim lighting. They also have a bar in the back where they were playing live music on a Wednesday night which soon became crowded and people were having a good time drinking by the bar. As promised, they offered us two glasses of champagne. We looked at the menu and we started with the appetizers, the meatball with ricotta and a salad. The food came in seconds it felt like the food was just waiting there to be served. The meatball with ricotta appetizer was not flavorful. The tomato sauce was lacking I was not impressed unfortunately. The salad was good, but I didn't order an entrée because it seemed like yelp reviews were right. So we finished our drinks and ate our appetizers and salads we left. read more

Visit was in May 2026 and took advantage of Happy Hour 3p to 5p and early dinner. It isn't just drinks and appetizers for half price. It's the entire menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. Husband got the salmon dinner and I the NY strip steak. The salmon was twice the size portion. We got the Ave salad and husband had chicken added. Immense serving of sliced roasted chicken. Really good. My strip steak was tender as you can get, as rare as I like it juicy and flavorful. Accompanied with a compote of roasted potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms and onion. A good bit of olive oil on the plate. The Italian bread was delicious. Too full for dessert. Choices were Tiramisu, gelatin or sorbet. If you get a bit tired of $150+ dinners, try Vergina's for Happy Hour. We did not have any alcohol as our lodging includes anything you want so we just went back to our place for coffee and cocktails. Bill under $100 with generous tip for very good service. They work hard and the outdoor dining limits their space for serving. Plus they are serving half price for 2 hrs. read more

Delicious food and atmosphere. Daily lunch specials are great, but pricey! Service on patio attentive but not intrusive. One of my faves!

I should have know better, all the signs were there: -a person out front hawking people to come in for happy hour -1/2 price on all items all day -Would only let us sit outside or the bar for the promo -Shelves of Hookah's - wait, what? Is this a restaurant or a Hookah lounge? - guitar player that played along to pre-taped music- pleasant enough -Big place with a touristy vibe. Food: Mediocre at best, drinks were made with cheap tasting liquor, bread was good, meatballs were ok, shrimp scampi was decent with too many peas, but not worth going out of your way for. Carbonara was ok, a bit saucy and bland. Better rewarmed the next day. Much better options on 5th. read more

Extremely rude manager! Never go again! Improvement would be to get rid of manager! Wanted to eat inside with tables available. Told us he didn't have enough staff! Here's my suggestion...put an apron on and get busy! read more

4 of us had lunch reservations for 1:30. There were 2 tables left in the front outdoor seating area. Inside tables and bars were unoccupied. FOOD: Excellent. The calamari Fritti also has zucchini, which is a yummy combination. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the coating on the zucchini was light and tasty. The beef carpaccio was thinly sliced, melt in your mouth delightful. Topped with arugula and a light dressing. The scallop gnocchi was perfectly cooked (both the scallops and gnocchi) and the pesto had a nice texture and fresh flavor. The Ave salad was wonderful combination of lettuce, nuts and fruit, perfect for lunch. SERVICE: Jose was quietly attentive. Waters and wine glasses often refreshed. BAR: By the time we left, the bar inside was full. The prices are a bit high here, but the happy hour is from 3-5 so it seems a popular spot to get 50% off the menu and other bar drink options. They post the HH menu on their web site so you can get a look. I didn't see any restrictions where you have to sit at the bar to get the HH prices. ATMOSPHERE: Great spot to eat on 5th and people watch. I did note that the tables closest to the entrance seemed to have pesky flies. Not sure if that is always the issue, but I'm glad we were not at those tables. read more

It was a super hot day and they were very nice to accommodate us given that we had no reservations, but it was 4:30 PM. and we did sit outside. There is a lot of staff and our service was just fine. The food however was absolutely inedible. We had no clue that the food was 50% off until the server told us. Very nice surprise. That is about the only positive thing I can say about any of our dinners. I did not take pictures. The only reason I'm leaving this review is so that hopefully the chef can understand that you cannot cook seafood to death and serve it. I did not say anything at the restaurant because the waiter did not ask why we did not eat our food and I was in no mood to go through the dance. I was starving to death and I wanted to go to dinner, which we did go to another restaurant and have a full dinner. We had chicken Parm, the worst we have ever had. There was a very odd spice like cardamom that was so pronounced, and there was no salt and the pasta was mush. Literally like a school lunch. We then had a Chopini with seafood that was so overcooked it was horrible. Normally this is one of my favorite dishes. The mixture of fish stock and fresh tomato is usually amazing. This was literally tasteless, flavorless overcooked, seafood, in what tasted and looked like Campbell's tomato soup. I kid you not. The last was edible, and that was the Bronzino. However, it had no flavor you had to literally salt it to death. There was a crazy amount of boiled spinach that tasted like hospital food as a side. We went to this restaurant on the fly as many of our favorites were not yet open. Hoping they can really improve. read more

I have to tell you that we selected Vergina because we were meeting friends and were able to get a reservation the day before. We were so pleasantly surprised to have a fantastic meal outside on the patio, which was a very nice space. My wife and her friend both ordered the lobster ravioli, and they loved it. I stole one of my wife's ravioli and it was fantastic. I had the Branzino and it was delicious! Our other friend had the pork chop which he enjoyed. I am usually a little picky, so I don't understand how Vergina only gets an average 2.9 rating. It far outdid La Pescheria that gets a 4.5 rating. By the way, our server, Heike, was awesome! C'mon Yelpers, you've got to try Vergina! read more

Have been coming here over 7 years. No complaints. Except for the one 7 years ago and these last two times. I'm done now. Started off with the Happy Hour. I wasn't happy The service was spotty. Joneider wasn't exactly doing much, took the order and gave the check but took time to get things when asked. What they do to make up for the reduced prices is telling me they can't give me a glass of water. I had to buy the PELLEGRINO bottled water for $9.50. So do the Math. Half priced menu? Don't think so. They won't tell you the price unless you ask. Available in two flavors. So my half off dish is no longer half off. Add the $9.50. They've been doing this a long time. My wife needed water so we got it. Two dame entrees for my wife and our friend were always good, the Branzino. They take home some of it. Unable to finish there. The salads are generous and could be shared but don't tell them. There's a $6 or $7 sharing charge. Just share it separately with your wife. My appetizer was good. No big deal, prosciutto and melon. I order the pork chop which looked great on another's plate, juicy, nice. Asked to have it medium or even medium rare, was promised that. Came back well! Even difficult to slice. And very dry, not juicy. I never said anything and I understand that. Every table was taken with us on the patio, outside on the side of restaurant and every table inside. Hundreds of people. I didn't want to wait another 45 minutes which we did. Didn't even eat half the chop. The WORST. The ONLY pork chop that's great is at Bravo in Mercato. Should not have ordered it. My vcoffee was only a half a cup. Took over 10 minutes to get the cream. Gulped it down and couldn't wait to get out of there. Very uncomfortable. We dine out a LOT and all the other restaurants are better. They don't nickel and dime you forcing you to drink a $9.50 bottle of tasteless carbonated water. The orange flavored bottle has no carbonation. Hopefully more will be upset over this. You've been warned. We're done. Sad, they've been like this for years. You know when you've had enough? read more
