Memorable experience, can't wait to go back! The owner is very accommodating and hands on deck. Our waiter Alessandro was very personable and attentive. The food was exquisite! I don't usually like Bronzino but it looked delicious as other tables had ordered it around me and they filet it at the table. It was amazing!

With a Mexican sauce in the middle. Are you kidding???Then, lasagna cold!!! 10min waiting for warming them!No limoncello at the end because he doesn’t have the license…Only one guy at the service was good, the Albanian one. Thank you.It was a pleasure for me to invite my family but it was a very bad experience at the end!If you see this restaurant, just run!I’m French, my English is poor but you understand that you have to go in another restaurant.

Tonight, for Easter, we dined with friends at our favorite restaurant, La Pescheria. The food and service was first class, as usual, and prepared to perfection. We had Swordfish and Pappardelle with lamb. Both were out of this world fantastic, fresh, and full of flavor. Francesco and the entire team ALWAYS treats you like family. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for truly authentic cuisine.

I always try to look at both the good and the bad in every restaurant I eat at. However, La Pescheria has very few positive aspects to mention. First of all, the service was excruciatingly slow. It took well over half an hour for the appetizers to come out, and well over an hour for the main meal. The server rarely come over to check on us, fill our waters, or assure us that the food will be coming out soon. Meanwhile, he was waiting on the next table over hand and foot, perhaps because they ordered several expensive bottles of wine (that he kept pouring for them, while joking and flirting with the elderly ladies at the table). This is not the type of discrimination I expect to receive when spending money at a high end restaurant. Moreover, the salmon that I ordered was relatively bland, as were the accompanying vegetables, which tasted like they came out of a packet of frozen vegetables from Costco.

Best dining experience! Food was amazing. We had sea bass, linguini with clams and veal ravioli. Everything tasted great. Tiramisu for dessert. Yummy. Our waitress was so friendly and checked on us just the right amount. Excellent service. Love the ambience. We ate inside but you feel like you are outside. Will definitely be going back.

Food was good, not great and a bit salty. Service was average but they seemed a bit understaffed as we sat with empty wine glasses for some time before we flagged down another waiter to assist us. Ambiance is nice as is the location but the restaurant is very loud and the seating is tight. Didn't hate it but probably won't go back anytime soon.

Mostly enjoyed, with a few quirks.Some highlights - Seated promptly outside; great service from our waiter (early on); the branzino presentation was very well done (and delicious); the mussels appetizer was also a highlight (but would have benefited from some bread).Cold appetizers were fresh but largely flavorless. Shrimp cocktail, artichoke/shrimp, and fruitti de mare were basically the same. As a main dish, I was really looking forward to the lobster ravioli - they were pretty standard for a higher-end restaurant serving fresh pasta and some lobster meat. Again, good but not great.Service really slowed down when it was time for our main courses to arrive. Our waiter was clearly frustrated too. Overall, he did a great job and most of the food was quite good. Nearby tables sought dessert elsewhere, which was probably the best for all involved. Apparently the coffee machine was broken, as was the soda machine for the soft drink lovers in our party earlier in the night.Based on the reviews, this place can be excellent at its best. Just wasn't our night overall.

Wonderful authentic Italian restaurant on South 5th in Naples. We didn’t have a reservation but luckily able to get a table for two. Our server, Francesco, from the heel of the boot in Italy, was enchanted and engaging. Service was excellent as was the food. Vibrant invigorating atmosphere.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Naples. The mediterranean branzino is a real treat. …Some of the best I have ever had. The caprese is a delight. The pasta and the waiters both make you feel like you are in Italy! I highly recommend this place.

Italian staff that knows Italian food. Outside seating right on 5th Avenue to watch the tourists. Calimari appetizer included shrimp, smelt, and scallops; best I've had ever. Lobster ravioli and Liguine alla Vongole entrees exceptional. With wine $130.

The Lasagna is the signature dish! Must have it. Best i have ever had. Many other favorites. If you're wicked nice to them they will make you another favorite Chicken Parm. All staff are like family and care for all the customers whether it's there table or not. Nice spot on 5th

We had a great time at the restaurant! It was pretty busy when we arrived but the owner ? Made sure we sat by 9:00pm on the dot. Alessandro took care of us and he was exceptional! His service made the experience extraordinary. The food was fantastic! We are planning to go back today!
