Violí Naples

Violí Naples is a Greek taverna in North Naples with a Mykonos-inspired setting and a menu built around fresh seafood, local vegetables and from-scratch cooking. Chef Athinagoras Kostakos brings island cooking techniques to simple, boldly flavored dishes. The kitchen leans on the roasted, baked and braised plates found in tavernas across Greece. Expect dips such as tzatziki and spicy feta with warm pita, charred octopus, cast iron moussaka, lamb shank yiouvetsi and whole branzino served tableside with saffron ladolemono.

The 6,500-square-foot interior centers on a spacious main bar that connects to an elevated dining room. A 1,500-square-foot open-air terrace with lush florals suits al fresco dinners and cocktails. The restaurant is rooted in shared dining, so it works well for groups, date nights and relaxed gatherings over mezze.
