These are new to me and saving them for my Jan naples trip! our go-tos: Iguana Mia (this is in Bonita) very casual mexican, Coopers Hawk (wine bar, very family friendly and you can do wine tasting), and Cirella’s (family owned, they just opened a second location in Naples proper – their Long Island restaurant is about 5 minutes from where we live here!) I recently went to Baleen, thats amazing on the same beach as turtle club. trying to think – oh first watch for breakfast or skillets I love that breakfast.
Thanks for all of these great suggestions!!
