“ Found this local place tonight for dinner with the greatest server John who was spot on with this recommendations. Great indoor or outdoor seating and the local and organic homemade food was spot on. A great find! Highly recommend of you are in town ”
“ The Local is a rare find in Naples, with every ingredient tasting farm-fresh. Menu offerings are unique, healthy and delicious! I especially love the 3-course prefix; it's a great value. I also love that it's a family owned local business with caring service ”
“ This is the best kept secret in Naples! I have been complaining for 2 years that the food in Naples is the ONLY thing that doesn't do it for me. This restaurant has not only amazing meat entrees but also has exquisite vegan entrees as well! And it doesn't stop there! They ALSO have vegan appetizers that are top notch! Everything is fresh and made from scratch. If you're a vegan cheese lover, have their house made almond ricotta cheese, it is to die for. If you like steak, have their Delmonico steak, insane! To put your experience absolutely over the top, ask for John. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the entire menu, including the wine. John, thank you for taking our date night to the next level with your service, we really appreciated it. P.S. For guaranteed foodgasm, go for the banana heath bar toffee bread pudding! ”
“ Great Tasting Food .... All Homemade Amazing Service Excellent Craft Draft Beers Would Highly Recommend this place ”
“ AMAZING! Delicious food! I immediately fell in love with this place when I saw the menu. The drink menu had plenty wine glads options as well as the choice to but a whole bottle. The pig and fig brushetta was full pf so much flavor it had a local hot honey as well as creamy goat cheese which was not overpowering it all complimented each-other v well. The hamburger and sweet potato wedges were amazing as well. The hamburger came with many yummy toppings. Great service as well! The area inside is a perfect environment for a date night. ”
“ Delicious food, quick service and comfy atmosphere! I had the ricotta caprese salad and pig and fig sandwich pictured here. ”
“ The hostess at the door couldn't be sweeter. All the servers said hello to me when I was being seated. Had a difficult time deciding on what to have. It was between the beet salad and one of the sandwiches. I was in the mood for a sandwich. I chose the skirt steak pastrami and I wasn't disappointed! They also source locally which is a plus for me. I will be back when I return to this coast. ”
“ It has been a while since our last visit, but so pleased we came again for the "sunset menu". While the obviously new hostess was a bit more than oblivious, our bartender Sam was terrific giving us a great overview of the current craft beer offerings and menu overview when asked. The restaurant filled up quickly for a Monday night by 6:30. The ambiance in this strip mall location restaurant is very good and the outdoor dining area is not overwhelmed by road noise as a result of the setback from the road and associated foliage. On the dining side, and here is where the Chef Owner factor shines through even more, ingredient selection and their combinations, preparations and finally, presentations are truly beyond outstanding. I had the cowboy rubbed brisket which has a touch of heat in smoked coffee and sugar rub and an overall extraordinary flavor and my wife had the grilled pork loin. She raved about the flavor of the marinated pork in a combination which includes figs, gorgonzola, and roasted fennel over perfectly prepared polenta. ”
