It's no surprise to those of us that live and work full-time in Naples, FL, that it has come in 17th in the Nation for Best Cities for Foodies! Especially considering the size of the City of Naples, we have an array of options and talented Chefs in the area who offer fabulous bites in and around the Old Naples area.
Probably my favorite restaurant is Osteria Tulia which is a truly authentic rustic Italian restaurant. Be prepared--the menu is not what you expect, but is amazing! Chef/Partner Vincenzo Betulia has his niche down pat! Not only do we have the obvious restaurant leaders in the tourist driven downtown area, but also in the out-lying areas of Collier County, where locals flock as well.
If you need alternatives in the outlying areas, feel free to call me, Mary Yon from Gulf Coast International Properties, to get some ideas on recommended restaurants that are off the beaten path. Direct 239-572-3274.
