Madison Food | A cozy restaurant perfect for dates

Naples 15 (Madison): Romantic Brunch & Pizza That Made Me Return on Valentine’s Day 🍕🌹 I was blown away by the pizza on my first visit to Naples 15—so I had to go back for Valentine’s Day! The restaurant’s vibe is made for dates: they decked it out with red roses for the holiday, and even on regular days, every table has a candle. Cozy, romantic, and delicious—here’s why it’s a Madison gem: 🥐 Star Starters (Don’t Skip the Bread!) Mashed Potatoes + Prosciutto with Complimentary Bread ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bread alone is worth raving about—it’s made with pizza dough, topped with parmesan cheese and olive oil, and tastes amazing. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes and salty prosciutto? Pure heaven. Bonus: They’ll refill the bread for free—I’ve eaten two plates every time I’ve gone 😋. Roasted Eggplant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The tomato sauce on the eggplant is rich and tangy—perfect for dipping that delicious bread. The eggplant itself is soft and flavorful, no bitter aftertaste. Grilled Calamari ⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s tasty (tender squid, nice char), but the portion is small. Good if you’re sharing, but not a must-order compared to the other starters. 🍕 Main Courses: Pizza Is the Hero (But Lobster Ravioli Shines Too!) Salami Pizza ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The server recommended this meaty option since I love bold flavors—and it delivered! It has a subtle spice from the salami, and the crust is chewy with a slight crisp. Freshly baked pizza always hits, and this one’s no exception—order any pizza here, and you won’t be disappointed. Lemon Pasta ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The sauce is super tangy (lots of lemon!) and rich—great if you love sour flavors. But I’m not a huge fan of tart food, so it was just “okay” for me. They have tons of seafood pastas too—ask the server to recommend one that fits your taste! Lobster Ravioli ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Creamy, flavorful sauce and generous lobster filling (you can actually taste the lobster!). It’s indulgent but not heavy—perfect if you’re craving something fancy. 🍾 Drinks: Sweet, Fruity Wines for the Win I love their wine list—they have tons of sweet or sparkling options! The server suggested a moscato, and it was delicious: sweet, fruity, and easy to sip. Perfect for pairing with pizza or for a romantic Valentine’s Day toast. 💘 Valentine’s Day Note They offered a fixed-course menu for the holiday—it was romantic, but I liked the à la carte options better (more flexibility to pick my favorites!). Also, I saw a table order their huge steak—it looked massive and affordable. I’m definitely trying that next time! 📍 Address 15 N Butler St, Madison, WI 53703 #InternationalStudentFoodHunt #HiddenGemRestaurant #MadisonFood #DateNightSpots #Madison #BeautifulMeals #ItalianFoodMadison
