Review

Our party were made to feel very welcome from arrival at the restaurant . The service throughout was exemplary; informative and friendly. The food was first rate being tasty and beautifully presented, supported by an excellent Falanghina recommended by the sommelier.

Outstanding service with warm and welcoming staff. Beautiful environment. Creative & delicious food. And an impressive wine list. Hands down our favourite restaurant in Naples!!

Beautiful gastronomic discovery in this restaurant, where in the 7-course menu, I found creativity, technique and emotion in the dishes. My favorite dish was the tomato carpaccio with basil sorbet, because the taste of each preparation was intense with a beautiful balance of seasoning. The desserts are at a level below the dishes. I will definitely come back to taste the other dishes on the menu. The service is attentive with a clear explanation of the dishes. The wine selection goes well with the dishes.

Essencia was by far the best restaurant during our trip to Italy. Food was outstanding without the tricks (foams, nitrogen freezing etc) you find in top end restaurants. Waitstaff was wonderful, explaining each dish in detail and cost of the meal with wine was very reasonable.

This restaurant seems to be underrated after reading some of the reviews on Trip Advisor, though it is more highly rated on The Fork. My wife and I had a very enjoyable and delicious experience. While the menu offers choices for those who are less adventurous, those who wish to try new combinations of tastes and methods of preparation will find this restaurant to be delightful. The service by Valerie and Natalia was excellent, as was Natalia’s knowledge of wines.
