Naples' newest restaurant offers all around flare

by Amie McLain

NAPLES: Seasonal residents have begun to make their way back into Southwest Florida and like many restaurant owners, one man hopes to cash in on their return. NBC2's Amie McLain attended the grand opening of Naples newest restaurant Capri where she discovered the owner is reeling customers in with a unique approach.

From the outside, Capri looks like a typical restaurant, but the owners say this bar/sports lounge has something residents wont find in North Naples.

"We brought the charm of 5th Avenue right here to North Naples. We brought a bit of New York City and a bit of Italy right here," said owner Zack Bellini.

In fact, Bellini says he's remodeled the place to even it give an east coast edge.

So from an Italian chef, French pianist, and good old American football, Bellini's goal is clear - to target the seasonal residents by making northerners feel right at home.

Seasonal residents weren't the only ones filling Capri's tables on Sunday, local residents also took a bite into the hype.

"The north end of town, there's not a whole lot, just a couple of places but nothing like this," said Naples resident Dorothy DeSimone.

A new nook in Naples that will give patrons a taste of home no matter where they are from or what day of the week it is.

Capri is located in North Naples at 1140 Tamiami Trail and is open from 11:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
