Paella's Mediterranean Fusion — Restaurant in East Naples

Hidden Gem in Naples – Exceptional Quality & Value I’m so glad I stumbled upon Paella’s Mediterranean Fusion! I was originally heading to another favorite spot, but they were closed for renovations, so I decided to explore something new. I always try to find places with healthy options, and after checking the menu online, I saw plenty of great choices at prices noticeably lower than average.

I’ll admit, I was a little concerned about whether the service and food quality would match what I’m used to—but I was hungry and decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did.

From the moment I walked up, I was impressed—a lovely lady opened the door before I even reached for it, greeting me with a warm smile. The inside was nothing like I expected from the outside—beautifully set up like a five-star fine dining restaurant. The space is small, with only a few tables, but it gives off an intimate, cozy, and very welcoming vibe.

The service was outstanding, and I started thinking, “It’s too good to be true—maybe the food won’t measure up.” I was wrong. I ordered their signature house paella, and it was amazing—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with fresh ingredients.

The only thing I didn’t love was the temperature of the red wine—it was served a bit too warm—but that’s an easy fix. And honestly, at $7 a glass for the same wine that other restaurants charge $14–$18 for, I can’t complain.Update!!! I went 2 more times and the wine was perfect temperature! They said they saw my review and they fixed it.

The portion was so generous that I didn’t have room for dessert, but next time I’ll make sure to try multiple dishes. I eat out almost every day, and I can confidently say this is the best combination of quality and value I’ve found in Naples. You get a true fine dining experience for the price of a casual dinner.

I’ll definitely...

Having been a fan of la Moraga, I was thrilled to find out that the chef had ventured out on his own and opened a small owner/chef-operated restaurant. I went with friends for Sizzle Dining. One person ordered the Sizzle menu, while I and a friend just ordered the paella for one. the price ($29) was the same, as were the portions. I loved being able to have paella for one. The paella was served piping hot and was made to order (I asked for extra shrimp/no calamari). It was delicious. the staff never stopped. They worked as a well-orchestrated team checking-in to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was wonderful. Two comments that are not critical, but should be taken into consideration: the wine was not cold. In fact, the white wine was room temperature. I had to add several ice cubes. Wine needs to be served VERY cold. also, the restaurant got very hot. The sun was setting right in front of the window and although there was a fan (only one), it was uncomfortably hot. I suggest a different roll down blind with more UV protection, as well as an improved HVAC system. Other than this two things, which are "fixable," Paella's Mediterranean Fusion...

We tried Paellas Fusion during Naples Sizzle Time and were BLOWN AWAY. Clearly the best Pealla we’ve ever eaten in United States. The rice in the Paella has exceptional flavor and creates a flavor coloered pallet painted perfectly with perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp, clams, calamari and a very tasty chorizo sausage; it was exceptional. It’s the best paella we’ve had in Naples.

My wife had a burrata salad which was fresh and inviting. I chose the mushroom caps filled with chorizo and Manchego sheep cheese. There were 4 caps on a long thin serving plate light dressed with a very tasty sauce. It too was exceptional!

For dessert, we had the house flan, which was over the top. On the way out, I had to stop by the kitchen and personally thank the chef for a fantastic meal.

The restaurant is small, but there is a high attention to detail. Dinner is served on linen table cloths, wine glasses are attractive and the staff is well groomed, friendly and very accomodating.

Wine, including sangria, is available as well as a variety of beers. While this was our first visit to Paellas Fusion, we can’t wait to come back with...
