Essencia Restaurant In Napoli

One of the great dining opportunities if you stay in Napoli. Extraordinary food which nearly looks to good to be eaten, good wine selection and attentive staff in a very beautifully reduced decorated restaurant. An evening we will keep in mind.

Nice place that wants to imitate a starred restaurant but there is still a long way to go unlike the prices which have already adjusted. Definitely disproportionate for food idea and service. I don't recommend it too expensive for what it offers

Welcome, warmth, friendliness, friendliness and great culinary ability. This is a small spoiler of what you can find at Essencia Restaurant. Having recently also opened on Sundays for lunch, we decided to eat with these very young but very talented guys who not only conveyed to us their passion and creativity through taste and smell but also made us live a real relaxing experience at equal to a SPA. This little culinary jewel is located on the outskirts of the wonderful historic center of Naples and the location is refined but at the same time also "home"; the maître and sommelier Natalia was able to recommend the perfect wine pairing for our tasting, giving us clarifications on the grape variety and the flavor which we then actually found when tasting the wine itself. Chef Dario Gallo has innate creative and food pairing skills: he was able to "play" with raw materials by creating dishes never seen before starting from simple elements and with great skill he took us on a journey surprising us with every bite of each dish. Not least the souschef Miriana Esposito who presented us with one of the tasting dishes at the table, making us share in their passion and the fun that drives their tenacity. The entrées and desserts completely produced by them are exquisite, as are the bread products, a fact that needs to be specified because not in all the restaurants in the Michelin guide you have the possibility of tasting "homemade" pastries. Really competitive and honest value for money. Essencia is a wonderful experience.

Cozy and very relaxing place. Balanced dishes that play with textures and explosions of flavors with the right timing. Every bite transported you, thrilled you and brought back beautiful memories. Excellent service with perfect timing.

Loved the food. Staff is wonderful and a see in kitchen is a unique feature of this restaurant.

Extremely pleasant evening: good food, nice atmosphere and impeccable service. Price absolutely appropriate for the quality offered. An experience that I will definitely repeat on my next visit to Naples!

Restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide. We went in April 2023. We ordered a tasting menu, very good in general although some simple dishes. The red wine they recommended to us was very good. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant were wonderful. Price somewhat high, but in line with this type of restaurant. I would repeat.

Excellent to say the least, the chef manages to enhance the true essence of the raw material by playing with consistencies and temperatures, they represent the true characteristic of the quality of the product. The setting represented by the waiters in the dining room completes the value of the restaurant. I will definitely return on my next stop in Naples

Eccellente a dir poco, lo chef riesce ad esaltare la vera Essenza della materia prima giocando con consistenze e temperature, rappresentando la vera caratteristica della qualità del prodotto. La cornice rappresentata dai camerieri in sala completa il valore del ristorante. Ritornerò sicuramente nella mia prossima tappa a Napoli

Bella scoperta a due passi da via Toledo. Cucina curata, menù creativo e ingredienti di prima scelta accompagnati da un servizio attento. Sono stata benissimo e tornerò sicuramente!
