What’s New in Naples: Fresh Restaurants, Rooftops, Renovations & More

Naples continues to evolve as a dining destination, and this season the lineup of new openings proves just how diverse the city’s culinary scene has become. From fine French coastal cuisine to thin-crust tavern pies, the list of recent and upcoming debuts offers something for every palate. Here’s a look at what’s opening, what’s expanding, and where locals are already lining up.

Ce Soir Brings French Flair to Bayfront

One of the most anticipated openings this fall is Ce Soir Naples, a modern French and coastal Mediterranean concept slated to launch in early November at Bayfront.

The 7,000-square-foot space has been completely reimagined by Canada-based Aidan Hospitality, the group behind Ce Soir Brasserie + Bar in Ontario. The Naples restaurant promises an elevated but approachable dining experience, with seafood, steak, a global wine list, and signature cocktails anchoring the menu.

The location itself has long been a revolving door for restaurants, from Il Bellagio to Southern Style Kitchen. With its bold renovation and international pedigree, Ce Soir is aiming to break that cycle and cement Bayfront as a must-visit dining hub.

Rooftop Dining Arrives on Fifth Avenue

Downtown Naples is finally getting its first rooftop restaurant. Prime Social Reserve is under construction atop the prominent building at 837 Fifth Avenue South, home to Chops City Grill and Engel & Völkers Real Estate.

Designed as a members-style destination, the restaurant will feature private club elements with VIP access and reservations. Naples City Council recently cleared the way for its outdoor seating, and anticipation is building for a debut that promises to bring skyline views and exclusivity to one of the city’s busiest streets.

Riko’s Pizza Expands South

Known in the Northeast for its super-thin tavern-style pizzas, Riko’s Pizza is planting roots in Naples with a new 3,500-square-foot restaurant at Addison Place Drive, just across from Founders Square.

Expected to open in early November, the pizzeria will offer its famous Hot Oil Pie, wings, sharables, salads, and desserts, along with a bar featuring 20 stools. Naples marks Riko’s second Florida location after Tequesta, with Miami also on the horizon. For locals craving crisp-edged pies with a spicy kick, Riko’s will soon be on the shortlist.

Bean To Cup Returns on Bayshore

After a brief hiatus, Bean To Cup has made a stylish comeback on Bayshore Drive. The new café space blends clean, modern décor with expanded offerings, including smoothies, fresh-baked pastries, and upgraded kitchen equipment to support catering and sourdough classes.

The outdoor patio has been designed for lingering, with plenty of pet-friendly seating and convenient parking. For coffee lovers, the return of Bean To Cup means a reliable neighborhood stop with even more community focus.

Crazy King Burrito Arrives from Mexico

Burrito fans have a new spot to explore. Crazy King Burrito, a fast-growing franchise from Mexico, celebrated its grand opening in late September at the Shoppes at Vanderbilt.

The menu highlights authentic Mexican recipes, from oversized burritos (served all day, including breakfast versions) to tacos, nachos, quesadillas, churros, and other desserts. A patio offers casual outdoor dining, and a beer-and-wine license is in the works. Early visitors are already noting hearty portions, friendly service, and flavors that deliver.

Slice Shop Serves New York Vibes

On August 27, Naples officially gained a New York-style slice shop on Fifth Avenue South. Owned by Rob and Nicole Guercio, Slice Shop dishes out more than 25 specialty slices daily, from classics like cheese and pepperoni to creative builds such as the MVP Sicilian and “The Booch” with vodka sauce, pepperoni cups, mozzarella, and hot honey.

Located at 720 Fifth Ave S, with its entrance tucked in an alley facing Cambier Park, the space offers a bright, modern atmosphere and an open kitchen where the pizzas are on display. Rounding out the menu are salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes.

A Culinary Crossroads

Together, these openings highlight Naples’ expanding dining identity: a city that can host a rooftop private club, welcome international fine dining, and still celebrate casual staples like pizza, burritos, and coffee shops.

For residents, it means more options than ever — whether the night calls for sipping wine with a view, grabbing a burrito to go, or meeting friends for a casual slice downtown. For visitors, it reinforces Naples as not just a beach town, but a true food town.

With more restaurants in the pipeline and holiday season just around the corner, Naples’ dining scene is only heating up.
