Restaurants near Ave Maria University

Let’s cut to the chase…this is the best Italian restaurant in Naples, period! The food was traditional and perfectly prepared. Casper’s service was absolutely impeccable. We will be going back again…and again!

I have been a customer since this location opened. I have NEVER had a bad experience with their food or service.

Again…the quality of food and experience including the pricing exception! The House Shrimp Pasta is amazing! The Tomahawk Pork Chop delightful! Try the “Black Betty” cocktail!

First timers at Coopers Hawk and we really enjoyed it! We joined the wine club while we waited for our table. The food was delicious (surf & turf and chicken Madeira)! Jack, our server, was awesome. Hostesses, bartenders, it was a delight to talk to all of them! All in all, a great night! We can’t wait to go again!

Our experience was incredible from start to finish. Our server, Thomas, was fantastic. He had a very thorough understanding of the menu, the cocktails and the specials. He knew the ingredients included, in and out and made great recommendations for us.. The goat cheese ravioli as a starter was to die for. Highly recommend. All of us were pleased with our entree selections (2 filets, ahi tuna and teriyaki salmon), and thoroughly enjoyed sharing some of the sides - especially the jalapeno au gratin. The ambience is everything you expect from a restaurant on 5th, and it doesn't hurt that Naples is beautifully decorated for Christmas as well.
