Service, was great, outdoor ambiance was great food was very average and could have been hotter. The burrito that they tout as a great addition not al all worth it. In fact disappointing. Better than I thought it would be. Expensive drinks, great bar, huge. Could of had one more bartender. Terry Dane read more

Unfortunately, we will not ever be returning due to; Server she was in her mid 30s working outside, short blonde with a ponytail, extremely rude, dismissive, unorganized and lack of knowledge after waiting half an hour for her to check on us, which she never did. She aggressively walked up to me and my child and said we're dining and dashing she is a complete idiot and should be terminated approaching a guest arguing with them this behavior I find extremely unprofessional and disgusting.. The food was not fresh. The pasta had no flavor very bland and our chicken Parmesan came out dry and rubbery twice we walked away from the table extremely upsetting and could not consume any of the product. This place is horrible disgusting server. The food was not fresh stay away. There are so many other options in the area. read more

What a disappointment at Vergina tonight. We had a 6 PM reservation arrived at 5:50 and we were told to wait 15 to 20 minutes after 20 minutes we inquired and said it would "just be a little bit because we wanted an indoor seating" they offered outdoor seating, but it was still 91° & I did not want to get bitten by the mosquitoes, so we waited inside. Had a couple drinks came back out and after 40 minutes of waiting, we were told "no still no tables" although we had seen three high top tables in the bar and two tables in the main dining room that had been open ever since we came in. For 40 minutes they were vacant. When we inquired and we were told those were "four people seats and they did not want to fill those two" what they really said was that they would rather have zero dollars then the amount of money we would've spent on dinner for 2 because we would've been finished in 40 minutes. As year-rounders we came to them when few people did over their years. The man and woman at the outside stand were very defensive in their remarks and poor performance. We stopped to cancel our 6pm reservation at 6:40 & we were met with remarks "we offered you an outdoor seat"instead of saying graciously, we're sorry we couldn't serve you. That kind of attitude is why we'll never be back. Thanks for for having 50% off menu, not preparing for reservations and leaving tables empty. Does having a reservation mean nothing it's a reservation and I reserved my table. Not very good business sense. Downtown Naples has many restaurants that have a lot better attitude. read more

Not kid friendly. Hostess refused to accommodate us outside even though tables were available. We had a choice of eating in the rain or sitting inside where there was a DJ singing Sinatra songs. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with our Children and Grand Children. Did not budge an inch so we left disgusted. They cancelled.our reservation before I could leave an OpenTable review. read more

This always seems to be the one and only happening bar on 5th Avenue in Naples. Every time we're here, there's a cool entertainer on stage and a room full of partiers. Everyone is having an awesome time enjoying the live music, and the drinks at the huge bar. Staff is very friendly and quick. If things get too tightly packed inside, you can easily sneak out the side door into the courtyard area for a breather. This is one fun place, and it's not to be missed when coming down here! read more

Our food was delicious but unfortunately the service was terrible. we had to ask for water and bread fheee times before it was brought to our table. We asked for ice several times and it never showed up. There was no dressing on the salad. I asked for some and it came out like a thick paste instead of a vinaigrette. There were two tables sat after us but were served and paid their bill before we got our food. Our server said he didnt know what was taking so long and offered free dessert. When the food finally arrived only 3 of the 4 meals came out and we waited another 5 minutes for the final meal. We asked to see the manager and he defended the server and said we got our food in a reasonable amount of time which was close to an hour fifteen. We asked several other wait staff for ice, water and dressing and they ignored our requests too. It appeared as they were not working as a team but each man for themselves. Very disappointing. read more

As a party of ladies, we dined at lunchtime to celebrate a friend's birthday. I read reviews beforehand and they were all over the place. I found them to be quite accurate...some good, some bad, some "meh". The food was passable, the service was just okay and the price was about what you'd expect for a restaurant on 5th Avenue. That being said, for 5th Avenue, I was hoping for something a little more special. With all the many restaurant choices, and given an unremarkable experience, we doubt we'll venture back. read more

My wife and I had been here a number of times in the past with good results so when a guest in town asked to take us to dinner, we thought Vergina was a good choice for an upscale meal with good service, but our experience was quite different. Our Server was pleasant, however, he had to be asked three times to bring us lemons for our water and two times to bring the bill. He was busy with other tables and so we actually had a food runner bring us bread for the table and we asked another server to bring us a table spoon for one of the dishes. At the conclusion of the meal he actually complained about a less than 20% tip and wanted an explanation of what was wrong. He was told about the lack of attentiveness but even after being given specific examples of less than normal service levels he continued to complain about not receiving what he wanted and never acknowledged or accepted that the tip he received my have reflected a lack of service on his part. Overall the food was subpar and also a major disappointment. I ordered the Linguini Vongole which lacked flavor. My wife ordered the Chicken Marsala and actually sent it back because the chicken was tough and the flavors were off. She asked for a Chicken Parm which was brought out quickly and it was also disappointing with tough chicken and overly sweet sauce on the pasta. The melted cheese on the Chicken Parm was the only part that was really good. read more

Waited 10 minutes after being seated and had to ask a bus boy for water. Hostess vmgave me attitude when I asked if if my server knew I was seated. Server scoffed at me being seated for 10 to 15 min.

We made reservations 10 days ago at 4:30 and went to the restaurant and was greeted by Sophia, who was extremely rude and said that she would have to seat us inside after we requested outside. I saw a table leaving and asked the waiter if they were about to leave, and Sophia came over and told me (the customer )that I was extremely rude TWICE. I asked for the manager and he said he would go and hear her story and get back to us, which never happened extremely disappointed with the service. I was extremely kind but it certainly wasn't reciprocal. read more

Been there several times before and loved it Today at 5:00 pm the singer was WAY TOO LOUD WE COULD NOT talk with our friends. We had to leave. I remember the bar being very crowded but today only half full. I think the volume chased Everyone out as it did with us. read more

Slow service and dirty surroundings on the patio didn't excite me. Menu selection was better. Italian classic selections and some lighter fare. I ordered a salad with beans as a protein which I loved for a hot day in the sun. Patio seating available in front and side of restaurant. The inside is spacious. Bathrooms at 1pm on a Sunday were already in need of cleaning. read more

Vergina - Salad and marg - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

Honestly, I don't get the bad reviews. We went for happy hour today and everything was top notch! The waiters were polite, offered great service, and kept checking on us. The food was to die for and I'm not easily impressed! Here is what we had: Calamari fritti - 10/10. Light crispy batter. Plump, juicy, and soft calamari, paper-thin zucchini, zesty tomato sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Not oily, not heavy, just perfect. Baked eggplant parmesan - 8/10. Well cooked eggplant, plenty of tomato sauce, and parmesan. I would've preferred a bit more grilled eggplant flavor, but, overall, it was well executed. Pear fiocchi - 10/10. This dish is a pure gem! Delicate pasta "purses" stuffed with creamy pear and ricotta filling and served in truffle infused white sauce. I was really to lick the plate clean! Lasagna - 9/10. Thin pasta layered with delicious meat ragu, beshamel, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. Cooked to perfection! Chioppino - 9/10. Juicy calamari, mussels, shrimp, clams, and lobster tail served in savory sweet thick San Marzano tomato based broth with intense fish flavor (in a good way). My only small complaint is that the lobster tail was a little overdone for my taste. Our friends had branzino, NY strip steak, and fettuccine al limone which I didn't try but they said they liked their food. The cherry on top? Everything is 50% off during happy hour (3 - 5 pm)! For the 7 of us, we paid less than $300, including cocktails! read more

Ambiance was definitely wonderful. My branzino was good but I am more used to having my fish crispy outside and moist inside. This one wasn't crispy (it would have made the branzino skin extra tasty!) it came with spinach which was just plainly steamed/cooked - ok fine. Rigatoni was not bad, just average. Service was fine! read more

Came here after trying 2 other restaurants that didn't accommodate us. We were sat right away with our choice of inside or outside. Waitress was quick to greet us and take our drink order. Food and service was very good and friendly. Definitely will recommend. Had the calamari which was great and came with zucchini chips. I had the pork ragú with papardelle and my wife had the carbonara both great and portions were just right. Creme brûlée for dessert was excellent. read more

If I could rate lower than 1 star, I would. I order the special - scallops over risotto and on MY FIRST BITE I bit into a hard piece of the shell that was not properly cleaned. Almost broke my tooth. Sandy, not properly cleaned. Wait staff was the only positive part. read more

Our favorite Happy Hour Can't recommend the Branzino enough. Egg plant parm is amazing I would probably skip Cioppino, a little over cooked but still good I can't say enough about the key one martini. Best part, everything is 1/2 off during happy hour read more

Disappointing Service Experience I usually don't leave negative reviews, but my experience at Vergina was frustrating enough that I feel the need to share. Our waiter Kristiyana is inattentive and unprofessional throughout the entire meal. From the start, they seemed disinterested, barely acknowledging us as we placed our orders. Service was awful. All she did was give dirty looks to myself and friends. read more

We went here on a Tuesday evening after walking around the downtown Naples area. It's in some what of a restaurant alley but we booked the restaurant ahead of time on Open Table. The great was traditional rustic Italian bread which I really enjoyed (especially going to another Italian place in the week that had cheese bread). We all split a Greek salad with the feta on the side (so it was vegan and I could still enjoy). The salad was excellent and I could've eaten it all by myself- but I'm glad I didn't order it as my meal because it definitely wasn't big enough for a meal. Since I'm vegan, the waiter was very accommodating. He checked to make sure what pastas were and weren't made with eggs. I got the linguine and marinara sauce. It was delicious and definitely the best Italian food I've had this week (for going out to Italian four of five nights this week!). My sister and mom both enjoyed their entrees as well- steak and potatoes for my sister and saffron risotto and Chilean sea bass for my mom. I'd definitely return! Drinks- both of the two people I was with got drinks and agreed they wouldn't get them again there. Nothing special. read more

Have been coming here for years, and noticed the last time(this past Wednesday evening), the service(especially the front wait stand) is getting sloppy. With reservations, they still had us waiting for awhile and seated outside in front which use to be really nice, but a bit tired looking. Service is just adequate considering how expensive your dinner options are. Will consider other places for dinner. read more

I mean it's Verginas!! They're the best!!! We had a table of 20 at 9:30 pm- every single person enjoyed their time, loved their meal, great service, great drinks just love the staff. Just 10/10 as always. Thank you. read more

On our way up to Sarasota, we decided to stop in Naples to walk around 5th Avenue and grab some lunch. Most of the restaurants in the area were closed until 5 PM, but not Vergina. They happened to have a 20% off lunch promotion going on. Being a Tuesday at 12:30 PM, we were able to walk in and be seated right away. Our server seated us outside and went over the menu with us. Since we were served some delicious, complementary bread, we decided to split a salad and a pasta. My fiancée ordered the Seafood Salad containing Shrimp, Calamari, Scallops, Clams, Mussels, Carrots, Baby Arugula, Celery, Fennel, Tomato, Lemon Dressing ($19) and I ordered the Pappardelle with Pork Ragu with Braised Pork Ragu and Shaved Pecorino ($28). Both portions were very generous and enough for us to share! The pappardelle was perfectly cooked with plenty of pork on the pasta. My fiancées Seafood Salad also included plenty of seafood; the amount calamari, scallops and mussels included were notably not skimped on. Everything was so fresh! The one of the few downside to our meal was that it did take a while to get our food, despite there not being many other people at the restaurant while we were there. Additionally, we were sweating and not seated under the fan they had blowing outside, which was unfortunate. Before we hit the road for another hour and a half or so, we decided to split a Cappucino and be on our way. If you're in the 5th Avenue area and are in the mood for Italian, definitely give Vergina a visit! It looks like they have weekly events, including live music! read more

The food was very good and the service was great. Food is somewhat pricey, but it's a nice restaurant and honestly is worth the experience. Sitting outside at night with the lights gave the restaurant a nice vibe. The live music inside was also a nice addition to scenery. If you're 21+ try the sour amaretto. Hope this helps, enjoy! read more

Had some delicious appetizers- Sicilian chicken wings, eggplant parm & calamari Delicious meals- Chicken Parm, Caesar salad & another type of salad pictured. Margarita and wines were good. Only thing was red sangria could use some work; wouldn't order again. Had no fruit or anything in it. Tasted like red wine with soda water? Could've had something else too but couldn't tell. Some orange juice or peach brandy would do wonders for the red sangria. Our server Mauro was very personable and went out of his way to make our time special. Thanks Mauro!! Ambiance was beautiful. Went for the happy hour - great deal. Will be back again! read more

Came here yesterday on a busy Sunday evening. Place caught my eye with the beautiful holiday lights and decided test my luck for a decent Italian meal. And its safe to say that the lights were really the only thing I was impressed with. First off I ordered a Negroni as my first cocktail here. And if anyone else knows cocktails, you would know that a Negroni is more than just gin and sweet vermouth. For our second course, we got the fried calamari. There was nothing fried about this dish. The calamari and zucchini were very soggy and fell right off as soon as your fork touched it. My final course was a chicken parmigiana with a side of vegetables in place of pasta for 8 dollars. This dish was nothing specaracular but the portion wasn't terrible. Now this is just my own opinion and speculation. But when You were first walk into the restaurant you hear all the servers with loud, heavy Italian accidents. But suddenly when I said I was done ordering and asked for the check, that great accent went away. Lol. I don't know, I'll leave that up for other patrons to decide. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars as I did enjoy my meal but I feel like it is just basic breakfast food. The portions are also small which I guess is something to expect in a fancy spot like 5th Ave in Naples. Also the service was not the best. The waiter had a hard time understanding us and He did not know the menu. In fact, I had to tell him the waffle came with a whipped topping and he just brought me whipped cream. Annoying. This place does offer numerous selections, cute outdoor dining areas for people watching, and relatively cheap prices. This is a cute place if you want to enjoy the sights and sounds of 5th Avenue in Downtown Naples! read more

We came in with some family friends because they raved about Vergina. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. The drinks were all good and strong. They also had live music. The vibe is just chill and everyone is having a great time. Once we sat down we ordered our meal. I added pepperoni to the pizza because it looked good in pictures and it also tasted good. We were a party of 6 and everyone liked their drinks and food. The wait staff was attentive on refilling our water and making sure we were ok We had a great time, with good food, drinks, and good company. I'd definitely come back if we come visit again. read more

This place has the low ratings it does for a reason. We walked by here and I told my boyfriend "this place has 3 stars on Yelp, let's try somewhere else instead". One of the employees (I guess the manager?) heard us and asked us to give them a try. They offered us 50% off. Of course, we said we'd try. The place itself is very cute and service was great. Our waiter was awesome. The manager brought us a glass of prosseco which was thoughtful. But the food itself was very mediocre. Meatballs tasted average and didn't really have much flavor. Shrimp scampi was a little bland. The complimentary bread was actually fresh and tasty and my cesar salad was too. Everything else was pretty average. What made us upset was that as we walked out, we noticed they changed the entrance sign from offering a lunch menu to offering a 50% off happy hour menu... so in other words, the manager bribed us to try their menu half price when it really was just a happy hour menu. Which made sense as to why the menu was so limited. We saw another table with a much bigger menu. Next time, he should tell people they offer a happy hour menu and let them decide if they'd like to try it or not. We feel like we didn't really give this place a fair shot since we couldn't pick from their real menu. Just a big disappointment. read more

Stopped at vergina for the live music and some drinks. The Barbie themed cocktails that we ordered were just ok. The menu is expansive for sure, so you can definitely find something better than just ok. The staff were friendly and helpful. However the live music was not good.
