Violí Naples

We had an amazing lunch at Violi this past weekend. The restaurant is gorgeous, they really did an amazing job with it. Laleh was our server and she was fabulous. Very helpful with suggestions and just so friendly. They had a great lunch special - two courses for $29. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. Plan on getting dessert, they have some of the best baklava we’re ever had and the Sokolatopita (chocolate cake with chocolate coffee custard) is amazing! Definitely looking forward to trying them for dinner.

Katelyn was a great bartender! Every bite we had was fantastic!! Probably the best lamb gyros we have ever tasted - it was amazing crispy and juicy slow braised lamb meat. The octopus was perfect, and there was a nice selection of Greek wine and beer. As most people say, don’t skip the Greek fries! Bar is first come, first serve. So you don’t need a reservation to sit there.

We came here to celebrate our 15 year wedding Anniversary and this place didn't disappointed. Toni gave us the best table outside, where we were able to enjoy the holiday ambiance. The food was fantastic, cocktails were delicious and there is even a happy hour menu that I fully recommend. We will be back for sure!!!!

First of all, the atmosphere is very lovely. Souvlaki, moussaka, bread and spreads, calamari and octopus stand out as specialties. Each was delicious and the portions were quite generous. The service was fast. I didn't particularly like the Violi Martini. The strawberry spritz was excellent. The one thing i didnt like It was crowded and hot, and the air conditioning inside was very inadequate.

I attended a friends-and-family event at the brand-new Violí in Mercato, and it was incredible from start to finish. The space is beautiful—modern, warm, and Mediterranean. We loved the breads and spreads, the spanakopita, saganaki, and tuna tartare. Our mains were outstanding, from the tender beef souvlaki to the flavorful Australian lamb chops. The star for me was the deconstructed pastitsio with short rib ragù and truffle—ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Desserts were fantastic, especially the rich sokolatopita for chocolate lovers, and the surprisingly delicious orange syrup cake. Our server, Oscar V., was wonderful, and hats off to Executive Chef Joshua North. We enjoyed it so much that we went back just a few days later. Violí is a phenomenal new addition to the Naples dining scene!
