There’s a lot of amazing places to eat in Madison. Naples 15 is the absolute top of Madison’s fine dining. The delicate selection of fresh herbs and seasonings is unmatched. We had the pleasure and privilege of enjoying five main courses. We tried everything from seafood, pizza, steak, and dessert. The amazing aroma and flavor from the fresh herbs and spices is unmatched. The hospitality we experienced while dining in this establishment was by far the best I have ever experienced. I’m a local business owner and I am personally inspired by the first hand hospitality I have received. If you have not had the opportunity of trying this fine delicate cuisine I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much Naples 15 for your fine hospitality and great food. It was truly a memorable experience!Nick
We last visited 3 years ago and remembered fantastic food and wonderful ambiance. We chose Naples 15 to celebrate my wife and friend’s 40th anniversary of admission to the Wisconsin Bar. Tonight was different! Evening started fine with our attentive server giving us some ideas for dinner and wine. Really surprised to look at the wine list, expensive and short. Food menu is really amazing, with all the choices of pasta and seafood. Dinner changed everything! Sadly, the quality was average. My wife loves eggplant but found her dish to be lousy, maybe the worst she ever had! Our friends’ pizza had poor flavor and a rubbery crust. My linguine with seafood was excellent.
Visiting family in Madison, WI. Son and daughter-in-law suggest Naples 15. Located close to the State Capitol, the restaurant offer some of the finest Italian food we have had state side. What made our evening was the visit from the owner Salvatore di Scala. What a special treat. Not often do the owners come around to do a meet and greet and inquire about your meal. The young lady who waited on us was well versed on the menu and seemed happy to be working there. We saw an impressive wine list including some fine reds from the Russian River close to where we live. It has been a few years since we visited Madison. Very impressed with the restaurant and the city!
Went for a Madison graduation celebration meal. Very expensive fixed menu of a "5 course meal." Very poor quality of food. The lobster ravioli (which 3 of us had) was cold. When I mentioned this to the server she said "Some people like it cold." The lava cake tasted like burnt chocolate. When I mentioned concerns to the manager, she said "Oh that's too bad" but basically did nothing. When I called later that week, they told me they would call back--never heard from them. Spent $400 on meals for the four of us--would have had better quality food at a fast food restaurant.
The food here is authentic and delicious but I have to say the staff is outstanding! I didn’t catch the name of the hostess, but she was very friendly and promptly set up a table for us out on the patio. Once situated, Roman took great care of us and made some excellent recommendations. The whole experience made for a lovely dinner. They work hard to give you the type of experience you hope for when you go out for a date. Will definitely be back.
As a neapolitan, i felt home in Naples 15 from the moment I entered this restaurant and tasted a piece of margherita pizza, I immediately felt in naples. in fact then I ate the buffalo mozzarella appetizers with datterino tomatoes and fresh basil. then we tasted the Neapolitan gateaux, it was exquisite. then we moved on to wood-fired calamari alla malvasia. all accompanied with Mastroberardino wines from Campania stilema white and red roots Taurasi. then we moved on to first courses such as wood-fired Chianina steak with porcini and truffle rigatoni. as fish we ordered a Chilean sea bass accompanied by spaghetti with prawns, scallops and clams. obviously all the pasta was from one of the best pasta factories in Naples: Gerardo Di Nola. we finished with a delicious baba and a delicious sfogliatella. the waiter kindly offered us a passito and a limoncello. what can I say, I can't wait to go back! now I understand why this place is so loved by artists and show business people like the great Tony Bennet, a great friend of the owner Salvatore di Scala.
These guys were getting all the hype online, so we had to check it out. The location is a little bit hidden, if you're looking at the building, the entrance is tucked around the corner on the left. Once you are inside, it is small (and it was filled up) but we were able to make a reservation with 24-hour notice.We enjoyed some "godfather" cocktails and the bottle of wine in the picture below. Apparently it's famous in Italy and Voltaire wrote about it. I don't know if that's true, but it was dry and it was good. We had a pizza for appetizers and then I enjoyed this apple fire flavored chicken spaghetti dish with this pear-like sauce. All the dishes were $20 to $30 plus, but we felt like we got our value given the quality, portions, and service. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about the food and the culture. I definitely want to go back.
A wonderful experience had by all. We couldn't stop with just four entrees for four of us. We had to get a couple of flatbreads as well. The service was exceptional, and the food was authentic and delicious. Naples 15 boasts of a cozy, intimate setting with low lighting and delightful music. Truly one of the best in Madison. We will be back!
Came here for my birthday! The food and staff were absolutely fantastic, from the super sweet hostess to to our waiter, Brayden. We got a history of the restaurant, excellent service, and the food was to die for. I had the lobster raviolis, which were out of this world. The ambiance was super rustic and cute. I felt transported out of Madison. Also I got a birthday cannoli, the ricotta was so delicious. Seriously one of my new favorite spots in Madison. Will definitely be coming back!
