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 &amp; delicious food. And an impressive wine list. Hands down our favourite restaurant in Naples!!

Refreshing menu in center of Naples!   very good wines and excellent food for the value.  we went twice in a few days and enjoyed both the service, setting and the food.   of course given the size of the kitchen the wait time was some for our large table and of i think not all deserts are there where expected (but the cheesecake is!), but overall a very enjoyable experience that we gladly recommend.

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.

Best seafood pasta and I&rsquo;ve had during my stay in Napoli! The cherry tomato tasted so nice. Full of flavour. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful! I wish I knew about this place from day 1 from my trip, so that I could have tried other meals!

So good we went twice. Gorgeous food included slow cook beef cheek and rabbit and homemade pasta. Loved the chocolate brownie too and nice service touches like a small appetiser and limoncello to finish.

When we arrived I wasn&#39;t impressed with the ambiance inside or outside. However, we stuck the reservation out and are glad for doing so. The food was really tasty, the waiter was very attentive and helpful with our wine questions,, and they had an English-friendly menu - which is helpful but not a hard requirement for us.  The food tastes homemade and authentic like it&#39;s right out of la cucina della mamma o della zia. The seafood salad and eggplant parmigiana starters were tasty and we moved on to the ricotta stuffed ravioli in pomodoro sauce along with a pasta dish with a caramelized onion and roast beef sauce.... both were very well prepared and presented. We then shared the beef filet in a brown sauce with whole peppercorns. The filet was a nice medium rare and was very tender to the bite. The wine was a slightly creamy white from the region. All in all a nice dinner.

This restaurant although catering to mainly tourists gives good value and food in the area. There was a small queue waiting for a table. I had a seafood gnocchi and a mixed grilled fish with parmigiana melanzane. This was all good and the wine was good too. The prices are half what I paid fur similar but maybe lower quality in Positano last week.

The first meal in Naples, it was already 3pm, I was so hungry, all I ordered were staples that would fill me up;

We were the only table at this time, the dishes were served very quickly, the seafood pasta was the best, the noodles were tasty and fresh

The pizza was a little disappointing, I always thought that the pizza in Naples restaurants should be good, but the crust of this one was a little thick...

The fruity wine was very beautiful and tasted good, but I felt a little dizzy after a few sips, I didn&#39;t dare to drink anymore, wasting more than half...

The environment in the restaurant was good, the service was okay, the total cost of this meal was less than 70 euros, ️ acceptable, the restaurant is very close to the beach, turn a corner and you will reach Castel Nuova!
