    Avgolemono Soup (Cup) - roasted chicken broth, dill, rice, lemon egg sauce.  $7.99
    Dennis D.

    I thought hard about writing this review and leaving the rating of 1 star or not leaving a review at all. There were 4 of us for dinner on April 1 (yes, April Fools Day). Violi is situated in the old Bravo restaurant in Mercato. Great location, complimentary valet parking NO longer provided. The bar and baths are basically the same, as is the ceiling (tiles near the kitchen are dirty and in need of replacement). The Greek pergola and artificial flowers (bougainvillea, I think) add a nice environmental interior element. I wonder how they clean the flowers? Tables are nicely spaced, comfortable and new. Outdoor seating is the same but on this day there was a torrential rain so no one was sitting outdoors, around the bar only. We were seated against the wall, comfortably, and our server was attentive. Perhaps too attentive, spoke broken English, and she asked my companion for her ID. We all laughed. My companion is 55 years old! She said it was policy to check for ID's for anyone looking 30 or under. My companion was flattered, but really? We ordered a bottle of the Zoe Rose for $40. It was fine. We ordered appetizers of Charred Octopus (charred cipollini onions, fresno chiles, kalamata olive relish). and Crispy Zucchini & Eggplant (tzatziki, smoked paprika). Hardly any Tzatziki sauce either. We were served one arm of octopus in a bowl with a grilled half lemon and a sauce. Our server cut the octopus into about 6 pcs and finished with a squeeze of lemon. We thought it would come grilled with vegetables, no sauce, but covered in what seemed to be a yogurt sauce? The octopus was tough, certainly far from tender. It was tough to cut (server had to work to cut it), tough to chew, and not to our liking either in texture, taste or appearance (sorry, forgot to photo). The crispy zucchini & Eggplant was barely crispy, more soggy and drenched in oil. We shared the apps between the 4 of us and did not finish either of them. We all agreed they were not what we had expected. Across the table they ordered Seafood Linguine (with lobster, shrimp, clams basil and lemon) to share, we did the same. I also ordered the Avgolemono Soup (cup) and Spanakopita (they spell it Spanakopitakia on the menu). The seafood linguine is served in a red sauce. You can see small pieces of shrimp and lobster, didn't see any clams, the basil ingredient gives the impression it is served in a clear sauce (not red), and there was no taste of lemon (nor should there be in a red sauce). Pasta was overcooked and soft. For $38.99, it was overpriced, under proportioned (didn't see any clams), and poorly prepared/presented. We asked for cheese to top off the pasta and our server brought us grated/shredded cheese, not sure what kind it was. The cup of Avgolemono soup was fine, but average. Here was the big surprise. I spent close to 40 years attending the Greek Church and participated in dinners, festivals, etc., I grew up in a Middle Eastern family and my Mother, Aunts, Sisters all prepare/d Spanakopita. I was served 4 triangular pieces of Spanakopita! I was expecting a rectangle or square cut from a large tray as would be traditional. I guess that is the reason for their spelling and as an appetizer it is what the chef decided would be appropriate. The menu does say "4 pc", and I didn't ask how it is prepared, so that is my bad. When they served it my friends asked if they bought it frozen from Costco! I've had frozen before from the supermarket and will say there was a little more filling than the store bought so perhaps they are home made. Regardless, not the image I had when I ordered. We skipped dessert. My portion of the nights bill, with tip, came to about $150.00 of which 1/3 was the wine. Still, a lot of money for the portions and the quality offered. I've visited other Greek restaurants in the area, was looking forward to dining at Violi's but unfortunately will most likely not return except to perhaps sit at the bar for a cocktail after the snowbirds leave Naples. Opa!

    Excellent new find for our culinary adventures here in southwest Florida. The atmosphere is very inviting & keeping with the Mediterranean theme. Ordering the salmon Souvlaki surly is a must in my opinion. The salmon was moist & flavorful as was the fluffy well spiced rice it comes with. We are surly coming back!

    The food was really good--yes, it's a high-end restaurant with prices that make you pause and re-read the menu, but it was totally worth it. Service was fantastic too. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and actually seemed happy to be there (rare these days). The ambiance was on point with bougainvillea scattered across the ceiling, giving it that "I should take pictures of this" vibe. When we went, it felt like everyone was celebrating their birthday... including me Apparently it was the night for it. They go all out for birthdays--each person gets what can only be described as a mini sparkler flame thrower. Subtle? No. Awesome? Absolutely. Important note: This is Naples. There are lots of older people. Also dress appropriately. The place also dies down as the night ages!

    Happy Hour Crispy Calamari
    Erik F.

    Excellent Happy Hour bar area experience with Shaina (cheerful and attentive). We started w a Sauv Blanc and Old Fashioned for drink time. Following, we had a mix of items ranging from grilled meatballs, oysters, calamari, and pita w tzatziki, all of which were very good. The indoor/outdoor bar and patio area layout was perfect to enjoy the weather. Inside was also to capacity. Overall, Violi is a hit!

    I had to upgrade to 5 stars due to our most recent dining experience. We came for my mother in law's birthday and Jovain was our waiter. His service was exceptional! We were a big group and it was an extremely busy night. From the moment we sat down his smile was contagious. He set the tone for a fun evening. We had the dips, calamari, meatballs and hummus for appetizers. For entrees, lamb gyro, filet slouvaki, salmon, and the flavors of everything was spot on. For dessert we had the donuts, baklava, chocolate cake and the pastry puff. Also had some incredible cocktails including the old fashioned and strawberry spritz. The DJ set the vibe and they have a small celebration with sparklers and napkins spinning around! It was quite the party but the best part of the evening was the service. Thank you Jovain!!! We will definitely be back.

    Birthday celebration time!

    I'd like to give this place a second try soon. :) So why am I giving this restaurant 3 stars? I made reservations and put notes that we were celebrating my friend's birthday, and called in advance to make sure they knew, she was coming from Atlanta. Well although I must say we had a phenomenal time, they seated us next to the kitchen, might as well give us a table inside the kitchen and there were dirty glasses in our table, the small lamp made the dirty glasses even more visible. Then, I ordered rose and you can tell that even my glass wasn't well cleaned. That was just an instant let down, but tried not to focus on that. The service was great, our waitress was very patient and explained every dish to us. The food was also great, and again, we had a wonderful time, despite being seated next to the kitchen lol. It's very loud but that's okay, it's a party vibe when you're there and they gave us bottle sparklers (all of us). The place got lit after. That's why I'd like to give them a second try.

    We tried the new restaurant in Mercato - Violi Naples. The new interior is beautiful. We thought that the food was just ok. For these prices not worth it. We will not be coming back.

    Puppy Sundae at Violi what a great date night.

    The atmosphere and the service and food are all on point. Loved eating here and puppy menus sealed the deal with food service to your pet in stainless steel bowls not to mention puppy sundae for dessert. Awesome experience.

    Absolutely amazing place. We came here for my birthday and it was a great experience with food service quick and lots of refills when needed

    FABULOUS happy hour spread! The food and drinks were delicious. Everything came out quickly. The music wasn't loud, made me think of what Ancient Greek house music might sound like, and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Andrew, our bartender, was very knowledgeable, kind, and made some pretty fantastic drinks. Definitely will be back soon!

    This place just opened and I went here with friends for happy hour! I will say there were a lot of employees and the service was still getting figured out but the staff was nice and everyone jumped in. The space itself was very pretty and welcoming. It was busy but I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. The happy hour was amazing, they have great options of food and and drinks. I was obsessed with the calamari and the hummus. For mains I had the deconstructed pastizio and it was different but delicious. My friends had the clam pasta and that was delicious too!

    HORIATIKI SALAD
    Foodie K.

    Four of us here last night for the first time. It was great to be sitting outside on the patio. First would like to say five stars for the service. Our server BRIAN H. was great. He was very professional and helpful to all with the menu. He was very personable and great talking with in between the many trips to the table as we kept ordering entrees on and off the Happy Hour menu our entire stay. Thanks again BRIAN. And appreciate the humor. We did laugh. Will see you again! We did order a lot off the menus. HAPPY HOUR MENU;: SPANAKOPITAKIA: spinach, feta, crispy phyllo- 2pcs. CRISPY ZUCCHINI & EGGPLANT:tzatziki, smoked paprika HUMMUS & CHARRED BEETS: warm pita, pomegranate, toasted pine nuts CRISPY CALAMARI: caper tartar sauce, lemon, smoked paprika GRILLED MEATBALLS: smoked yogurt, tomato, mint-2 pcs. (not the traditional Italian meatballs) THE REGULAR MENU: HORIATIKI SALAD: very generous vine-ripened tomatoes, cucumber, barrel aged feta, red onion, fresh oregano, capers, (delicious feta cheese throughout but would like to have seen more lettuce) CAST IRON MOUSSAKA: beef ragu, grilled eggplant, potato, béchamel They transformed the restaurant inside with beautiful overhead flowers and nice rearrangements on tables and booths. Reasonable prices on all menus.

Finally, my 30 plus member cigar club, from the Venice FL area decided to make a road trip to Naples, specifically to visit The Burn. Twelve of us made a caravan and left Venice, driving to Naples. We arrived and had no trouble finding nearby parking for all of our vehicles. After parking we entered the lounge finding it to be quite large, with a nice bar, humidor and an outside patio too. We entered the humidor and found a staffer who offered suggestions, cut our cigars and even offered to light them for us. We paid him right there and stuffed his tip jar - that was awesome service. We then gathered in the main room of the lounge and began our cigar tasting while enjoying a few Old Fashion whiskey drinks. Then six of us wandered out to the patio and grabbed a nice large table. The bartenders were fast and service was okay. The servers were awesome, prompt and very attentive to our tables - efficient is a great description. We stayed until about 6 PM and then headed home. It was a very enjoyable adventure. I understand Rocky actually has a birthday there on March 10, 2026. Hopefully I can attend.

    -- A Rooftop Gem Where You Feel Like Family…read more I'll be upfront -- I have social anxiety, and crowds can be genuinely overwhelming for me. My first evening up at Tigress's rooftop, I walked into a packed house with no reservation, and it was simply too much. Rather than give up, I called the restaurant shortly before close and asked about reserving a table for the following night. Just one person. What happened next genuinely surprised me. They were absolutely fabulous. Not only did they accommodate me without hesitation, they reserved me a spot in the bar area and had it ready the moment I arrived. The second I stepped off that elevator, I was greeted by name, welcomed warmly, and made to feel like I belonged there. It wasn't a restaurant experience -- it was a Cheers experience. You know the show. That's exactly what it felt like. Service was prompt and attentive from the start. My drink order was taken and delivered quickly, and when I asked for a menu recommendation, the staff guided me toward their signature crab fried rice -- and I am so glad they did. This dish is unlike anything I've had at any Thai restaurant, and I've had crab fried rice at quite a few. The blend of ingredients Tigress uses is truly special. Every element comes together in a way that feels almost magical. Worth every single penny. I've seen a few complaints about pricing, but when you consider the quality of ingredients that must go into this dish and the skill required to execute it -- the price is more than fair. Sincere applause to the entire staff for their grace and kindness. A standing ovation to the chef on duty that evening, and deep gratitude to the executive chef who curated this menu. And special recognition to the bar team -- their craft cocktails are clearly designed to complement the food beautifully. I will absolutely be back. Tigress has earned a loyal guest.

Our server was very nice and conversational, however, I think she might have a habit for forgetting to do something unless she does it right away. Before finishing explaining the sauces with the shrimp crudite, we asked a question and she immediately went to go grab another dip and didn't finish explaining the sauces. I was disappointed in the bananas foster waffles. it said there was banana caramel, and then as a separate item, it said peanut butter maple. I asked probably 2 or 3 different times where the peanut butter maple was as i had gotten my toppings on the side after seeing an order that was drenched go past my table. the first answer i received was that it was the sauce i had in front of me. it was not. it was the caramel. the next time i asked, i was told that the peanut butter and caramel are the same sauce. again, no peanut butter flavor in the sauce. the peanut butter was the thing i was looking forward to the most on the waffle, and by the time she offered to just bring me peanut butter i was almost done with it. i will say that it is a very dense waffle and difficult to cut. i'm not sure if it is supposed to be this way, but i had to use some force to cut into what i thought was going to be a fluffy waffle. we had empty water glasses on our table for quite some time with multiple people passing before being refilled. it wasn't until more people cleared out that we were able to get more water. the cinnamon roll thing: a very nice gesture from the restaurant for birthdays. the cinnamon toast crunch on the outside was nice and crunchy, the caramel gelato between layers was smooth, but the roll itself is a different story. like the waffle, it was dense. not sure if that's because it's served cold but we will chalk it up to that, but the cream cheese frosting has chili and paprika in it! so while we were eating it, all of our throats starting to have a spicy burny feeling in the back. imagine red hots candy for flavor profile. we didn't find out until asking that it has the extra spice in it. just something to note, it might need to be added to server explanation that there is the added spicy element, as there are a lot of people who do not enjoy spicy foods. I stand by my previous reviews that Tigress is strictly a drinks and app place.
