What's New in Naples This Season
As we prepare for our seasonal friends to return, we’ve been doing what we do best: Scouting! We’ve rounded up what’s new in Naples this season—from newly opened and soon-to-open restaurants and bars, shopping, hotels, and more—so you can live like a local as soon as you land. Welcome back!
RESTAURANTS & BARS
Bicyclette Cookshop | This new concept by female chef and partner Kayla Pfeiffer is now open in North Naples, featuring a menu of familiar favorites and new twists for lunch and dinner. (Highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich, which comes with the best fries we’ve ever tasted.) You can also grab a seat at the bar for happy hour for cocktails, wine, beer, and small plates from 2:30-5 p.m. daily. 819 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Naples | @bicyclette_cookshop
District | As the first installment of a multifaceted hospitality project in Victoria Square just off Central Avenue, District is a lounge and restaurant serving light bites and craft cocktails. Want the full experience during your next night out at District? Ask your server “are you hiring?” and they’ll bring you an application to fill out before directing you to an intimate speakeasy for “staff only!” 1200 Central Ave., Suite 105, Naples | @districtnaples
Le Colonial | This iconic French-Vietnamese restaurant—already highly touted in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Lake Forest, and Delray Beach—is set to debut on Fifth Avenue South on Dec. 14. The menu is a reflection of Saigon in the 1920s and is the vision of acclaimed restaurateurs Rick Wahlstedt and Joe King. The concept fully engages all senses with stunning visuals as you pass through the main dining rooms, verandas, terraces, private dining areas and lounges. 445 Fifth Ave. S., Naples | @lecolonial_restaurants
LoLa 41 | Keep an eye out for LoLa 41, an upscale bistro and sushi bar set to arrive on the Naples dining scene in late 2023. All aspects of the restaurant represent the countries and regions that the 41st parallel passes through, from Wagyu beef carpaccio to tuna and avocado poke salad and an extensive list of sake wines. Naples will be the third location for the LoLa 41 brand, with existing locations in Nantucket and Palm Beach. 560 Ninth St. S., Naples | @lola41restaurants
Old Vines | With two locations to love, consider Old Vines your new go-to for date night!

Rebecca’s | Located directly across the street from Celebration Park on Bayshore Drive in the Bayshore Arts District, Rebecca’s is the newest concept by local entrepreneur Rebecca Maddox.

This just may become your go-to for a girls’ night out, date night, or networking event! 2955 Bayshore Drive, Naples | @rebeccas.naples
Rouge | An intimate speakeasy dining concept brought to you by Vincenzo Betulia of Osteria Tulia, Bar Tulia, and The French. Rouge is an 18-seat secluded dining experience tucked away behind The French restaurant on Fifth Avenue South. Beef is the heart of the menu, with five entrees of Wagyu and prime cuts or larger cuts to share. While passwords aren’t required, reservations are—and we recommend making them far in advance!

Warren | This sophisticated whiskey lounge and restaurant located in The Collective is now open. While the concept is distinctively split into a restaurant and private bar area, the common theme is a love of spirits; specifically whiskey. Warren boasts 600 bottles in its whiskey collection, including single-barrel bourbons, rare bottled scotches, and 30 private barrels. The food pairings are a twist on traditional American favorites including seafood towers, handhelds, Wagyu steaks, and house specialties. 111 10th St. S., Naples | @warren_naples
