Dolce & Salato

Small italian restaurant with delish salads and sandwiches. Perfect for lunch. Love it!

Walked here to go to lunch and couldn’t find the place based on the map. Did it change name to Bice?

3.5 star. Went in during the mad rush that is Cars on fifth show. Had a daily special: housemade burratta with arugula and prosciutto. The prosciutto was salty and nice. The burratta was so fresh I swear they have a cow somewhere on the property. My BF also purchased a bunch of pastries. That were very nice! Nothing to blow me out of the water tho. Wine, beer and prosecco are offered. And limited choice on those. And fairly expensive. It is a expensive spot. The staff were overwhelmed and i think on a non tourist inundated day they would have an easier time. If you are keen on southern Italian lunch (which I am not) this is a must try spot! Cute, lively and delicious fresh food.

Our regular go to café for breakfast. Love it. Get one of their frittatas and capaccino. Always excellent.

We had a party of 10. They served us a terrific family style Italian lunch. They did not skimp on the many dishes prepared and all at a great price.
It is a little hidden as it is on 3^rd St. a block off 5^th Ave. S. Take the time to find this restaurant. If you like authentic Italian food, you won’t be sorry!

Very good food and service. We walked in at 3:15, not realizing they closed at 3:30, and although they hesitated briefly to seat us, they still seated us and we had great service. The food was delicious and the prices were really reasonable. The atmosphere was very quaint and cute, and sitting outside was really nice. Definitely recommend.

Friendly café, truly Italian. Everyone speaks Italian in the café. I got a donut filled with cream or custard. It was kinda like a Boston crème donut coated in sugar. It was sitting in a case and looked good. They microwaved it and I had it to go. It was chewy and the crème was super hot from the microwave. I did not ask for it heated, but I guess it was old or cold and needed heating. I was not impressed, especially for $ 5. They were very nice, but just not worth the prices even off of 5^th Ave in downtown Naples. If it was excellent, I would not mind the price.

Excellent espresso and capuccino! Fantastic Italian light lunches. Great deli with interesting wine selections. This place is a gem in Olde Naples.

What a wonderful discovery! The employees here are super friendly in this charming café. It feels more like someone’s living room with how warm everyone is. I wanted everything on the menu. I love that they make everything to order, and the hard meats and cheeses they use are imported from Italy (and you can tell — so good). The fresh bread and olive oil they continuously brought out was so yummy. Our sandwiches were delicious. I had one of the prosciutto and mozzarella ones… I was in heaven. Huge, amazing quality. If we lived in Naples, we’d be there weekly. Hope to be back when we’re down there again! Highly recommended.

My husband and I were visiting Naples and stopped into this delightful lunch place. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! SO fresh tasting. And all of the workers spoke Italian so you know it’s legit! We had the salmon special, the cannolini salad, and finished with 2 cappuccinos. We were thrilled with our choices! The olive bread with sundried tomato olive oil they serve at the start is unbelievable. Little Italian cookies with the cappuccinos… every bite so well done. Friendly staff, timely service. We will definitely be returning!!!

Being a restauranteur, I don’t write bad reviews because I don’t agree with all the write ups. I love authentic Italian food and while visiting Naples Florida, we found Dolce & Salato… sort of like a deli and restaurant. very nice. The man who had a heavy Italian accent took our order. I ordered a small sparkling water, lasagna and we asked for a small or half salad. He kept saying are you sure a half, are you sure a half?? as if he knew a small was very small to begin with. We took his advice and ordered the large instead. When the food arrived my mouth dropped open. the large salad we ordered was so so small… now I wondered why he said are you sure you want a half. salad… also the lasagna was petit for the price! OMG… the server never came back to ask how everything was. we got our check. wait it gets better. we were charged for a Large sparkling water, a $ 17. sandwich which we never ordered, and charged for a large salad that we did order but they gave us a small salad. Seems all the tourist here are getting ripped off for their bucks. Food good but not for the price. never go back.
never go back

Delicious food. Wonderful Service. Will come here every time I am in the area! Authentic Italian food — very good!

Excellent!
Visited this place for lunch & it was impressive! The service was more than impressive. Quick, pleasant & very friendly!
The food was DELICIOUS! The 8 of us had a variety of bruchette, sandwiches & pasta all of which was delicious!
The atmosphere is wonderful both indoors & outdoors.
Only recommendation is to watch pricing. They told us 1 price at the table then charged another.
Highly recommend!!!

We stopped at this 5^th Ave place for lunch a few weeks ago. It is in a great location on beautiful 5^th Avenue, reminds me almost of a Parisian sidewalk café (though clearly Italian)…great outdoor bistro tables, awesome umbrellas etc. The interior, which we just sort of walked through reminded me of an ice cream shop… while nice and set up almost like a deli/​grocery store, you definitely want to eat on the patio… great menu — soups, salads and sandwiches mostly… most of the sandwiches seemed to be baguette style… I had one with prosciutto, olive tapenade and cheese (mozz or provolone? Don’t remember)…it was excellent! I don’t remember if it came with chips or fries… chips I think, and they were homemade and also very good…
Here’s what kills me… So for something like 10 bucks (maybe 12) I can get an awesome sandwich on a real baguette — which if it wasn’t baked on site, was baked within a few blocks of there that same day… I can get ingredients like prosciutto and olive tapenade etc and have a great setting… BUT prior to going there, I was happy paying the 8 to $ 10 at a sick like place like Jimmy Johns or whatever… the value of what I received at D&S — the quality of it — makes me feel as though the places I normally go to have been ripping me off for years… while I am wholly of the opinion that «chaining» any restaurant leads to a pronounced plunge in quality, I SOOOO wish there was one of these by me — I would eat lunch there every day!!!

Great place. Love the Italian atmosphere.
Cold cuts are great. Owners are wonderful.
It’s really a piece of Italy in Naples, FL.
Keep up with this wonderful place.

Simply the perfect spot for lunch. All fresh food that makes you feel like you are in the alleyway someplace in Italy.

What a great option for dinner (yes now open for dinner). The owner had a such great attention to detail. I highly recommend the specialty lasagna, but the everyday meals including the fish is tasty as well. Good wine selection as well.

Exactly as the other reviews and photos represent. Exactly what I was hoping for, for a light breakfast and cappuccino. Mi piace multo.

Authentic except for the potato chips with the sandwiches ;). The place is definitely overpriced (prices have gone up from the prices listed on a picture someone posted) BUT the food is good and IT IS 5^th avenue. Service is a little slow so definitely not a place to go if you are in a hurry for lunch. I had the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich for $ 14.95. It was a large sandwich (I eat a lot and had to bag up one half) the mozzarella was fresh and the prosciutto was DiParma and they did not skimp on it — sandwich also came with a small salad which was very good. Overall, great authentic Italian lunch spot. I will definitely be back to try something else — the salads I saw looked good.

Belissimo, fantastico, abondanza.
The little piece of Italy is not to be missed.
We both had the lasagna and it was magnifico.
The deserts were sculpted with perfection and were too beautiful to eat. Once we did, we were happy we did.
Excellant wine list to be ended with authentic cappuccino.
Outdoor seating that was every bit Italian.
This is by far, now out favorite Italian fare, without the jet lag.
