Located at Dockside Boardwalk near Tin City and downtown Naples, Mino is where you'll finally have a true, Italian, dining experience. You rarely find this on American soil. Mino's interior boasts a simple, inviting decor that pays tribute to quaint pizzerias of the old country. The restaurant offers a choice to observe passers-by from your patio bar-stool, or watch the art of brick-oven-pizza making fireside in the dining room.
For the sports-fans, we also have a separate, full bar area with flatscreen TVs so you can watch live sporting events. In addition to exceptional service, the Italian food that I present to you is not what you've come to know, but the Italian food that I grew up with. Mino, the restaurant, should invoke the feelings of places in Italy that we went as kids and as young adults.

Best Authentic Italian food in Naples! What a hidden Gem. This place is no frills and you can't change ingredients on the menu, but I don't care cuz it is just so good! I wish they were open a little later but I'll take whatever I can get that's how much I love the food. Everything is made from scratch and it shows!

My family and I drove from Cape Coral to try Mino on the recommendation of a recent charter guest. The entire experience was excellent! Brian, our server, was awesome and allowed us to take our time and gave us some great recommendations. Cocktails were great as was the entire meal.
We had Appetizers (Calamari special and the bruschetta), pizza (Margherita) and three pasta dishes (Gnocchi and both of the shrimp chitarra pastas). All of it was great but my sons fettuccini with shrimp alla Panna was possibly the best pasta dish we’ve ever had!
Courses came out at perfect intervals and overall

What a great find. We very much enjoyed our time at Mino. It has a good vibe and excellent food and service.
I had the best gnocchis ever. My wife was happy with her pizza.
Add good wines by the glass and cold Peronis top off the experience.
Actually, the highlight was Sam, our server. He was a delight.

I was so excited to get back to Mino’s (and bring my son for a birthday treat) after dining there a couple years ago and having a great experience. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning. We were the first table to be seated at 5:00p and our food did not arrive until 6:30. We watched other tables around us eat and leave, and the manager didn’t even offer a comp for our long wait. The food was good— but spaghetti shouldn’t take 90 minutes to make.. and if it does, just apologize and comp a glass of wine!

Very nice place, great ambiance, the owner is a true Italian who appreciates family cooking. The owner Mino offered our kids free gelato while we were waiting for our table. I did go visit the men’s room and while it was updated, I did manage to clog the bathroom. I suffer from IBS and I apologize for that. Pizza was crunchy and the presentation was “Bellissima”, see photo attached. Our server was quite busy but let us visit the kitchen anyways. Although we did see a lot of Italian food in cans, I am impressed with this restaurant. Everything feels fresh. Mino, thank you for your hospitality

We had been super fans.
Mino was a great find when they first opened. Sometimes it's been hard to get a table, but we've never had any complaints with the food. Often, Mino was our go-to spot after boating and/or when we wanted to show off our amazing town to guests. We were even supporters of Mino during the "'mast controversy." We had never interacted with the owner...until a recent trip. We were blown away when he snapped at us for asking to sit at an empty table. His angry yelling turned diner heads and was a clear over reaction, especially for a host. We just

Pretty sad to have the owner of the establishment give you an attitude. Once upon a time this was a humble establishment with amazing service and one on one attention. Apparently, things are much different. Website very unclear. Claims to call between 5-9 to make reservations. When you call, they tell you it's too late to make reservations. I tried to explain to the owner the situation and the obvious mistake on their website and this once mild mannered man decided to give me an attitude and hang up. I was parked in the parking lot of the establishment. No good deed goes unpunished. However

I called in advance to place an order for 4 Margaritta pizzas with extra cheese. I paid the bill and my pizzas were given to me. I drove home and when home None had extra cheese but I was billed for it. Called an the owner said he added as much as he could as the cheese was hard to procure. What a thief!! Owner and management nasty. Hostess very nice.

Came to this place while on vacation, if I lived here, I feel like I'd be here all the time. Staff is great, food is even better. The Funghi, scamorza, crudo e tartufo pizza was so good, it was gone before i could even take a picture. My family also tried some of the pastas, oh my goodness! Delicious. I loved this place and would definitely come back if I found myself in Naples again. I 10000% recommend.

Spot on place for casual Italian food. The brick oven pizzas are to die for. In our party of four we had crepse salads and pizzas. We had Enrico pizzas with the best pepperoni on it among other ingredients, funghi prosciutto with mushrooms and virgin olive oil which was great, and I had hot peppers with homemade sausage and extra stuff. It was delicious. Best pizzas we've had. Service was superior to many fine dining establishments. Come eat the pizza and have a nice cold draft beer. Yummy. Sam was our waiter and what a great experience he offered us. Great smile and very friendly.

Wow! Amazing!! I have never had real, authentic, homemade, Italian food before, and I absolutely loved it! I ordered fettuccine with shrimp and white wine cream sauce which was delicious. My family and I forgot to make reservations, but the staff was very helpful and gracious to seat us right away. The next trip I make to Naples, I will definitely dine here again!

Simply the best Italian in Naples. Don't listen to anyone who tries to steer you to another Italian joint... they don't know what they're talking about. 5th Avenue in Naples is filled with them and they're just plain and simple not as good as this place.
If you want an education on Italian food and wine follow Mino on Instagram. The chef posts weekly videos on his pizza and pasta specials. Those quick two minute videos are almost as good as his food.

Almost 5 stars!
The pizza Enrico was outstanding, highly recommend it. The location is only a few blocks off the end of 5th, feels much more like a local place though.
Good salad, great wine, great value, good service, great outdoor seating area, nice bar area, nice music, not too loud-great vibe here! Just know in advance there's no pandemic or Covid safety measures if thats a deal breaker for you and no special orders, etc
