Tulia Italian Steak — Restaurant in Naples

Edit: Dear owner, thank you for your response. I did not know the costs of the production for the dish. Maybe it would be an option to mention in the menu that it’s a portion of 3 pieces, to avoid people being disappointed. As mentioned in my review I’ve not been the only one. The friend that ordered it too noted that the size of that very dish was more than double when she had it a few months ago. Whether that’s true or not I know about the current economical situation and appreciate your effort to explain the procedure of serving that dish. I’m going to increase my review considering your response.

I read through some other responses of yours… I used to be in hospitality for a long time to. I know how hard it is and I appreciate you having the back of your team. That’s probably one of the keys to your success. I know how frustrating it is when you’re trying to make everyone happy, then receiving a bad review after a long working day. Nevertheless I think that you should be a little more receptive to people’s reviews. If several clients complain about the same issue then maybe it’s not just a personal impression. I’m traveling worldwide constantly. I’m European, I know good food and I’m always happy to give 5 star reviews for great service and food quality, knowing how much that means to the staff. I just think that a full size 24$ salad with avocado, bacon and all is not comparable to 3 tiny squash blossom bites priced at 20$. If it’s such an exclusive dish I would recommend mentioning the amount of pieces served. I remember I had dinner at the French years ago and it was actually really good. So let’s agree to 4 stars and I’ll give it another try for dinner someday. Best regards, Susan

Pretty restaurant, kind service, but the size of the dish I ordered was a joke.

I had the fried squash blossoms, which was one of the few vegetarian options on the menu. It’s 20$ and they serve 3 tiny bites. Absolutely ridiculous. Another friend ordered the same, both of us felt screwed. If they’d serve that portion for 10$ it would still be a joke, but 20???? I mean, dear owner- what are you thinking?

On top of that they add a 20% service fee to the check. Yes, sure.. I already overpaid, I’m happy to tip that with an extra obligatory 4$.

The extra star is for the location and they...

I must preface this that we came 25 minutes early and they were 14 tables that were available outside that looked extremely appealing. I asked the receptionist if she could put us at one of those tables and she said no because they were all taken. I had a hard time believing that and I counted and they were 14 tables available and I said so in the next 25 minutes are all 14 tables going to be taken? She got flustered, and said yes, if I just showed up on time at my reservation time, she would be able to get me one of those tables.

I walked out, and my husband talked me into not canceling my reservation or asking to go speak to a manager about the Flippin attitude of the receptionists. So I walked down the street, took a breath, and I found the urban meditation store and bought some beautiful jewelry. And then we went back 30 minutes later. There were eight tables at that point available in that section and I decided not to say anything, but we did get seated at a great section.

Then comes Amanda! The waitress from heaven, and she is funny, lovely, attentive, kind nice and serves us an amazing dinner and completely changes. My mood. Only to find out that her fabulous husband works there with her! I let her know my poor experience, 30 minutes earlier and let her know that if I had not met her, I would not be somebody that you would actually want to wait on this evening .

So that is my story and I’m sticking to it. Dinner was phenomenal. We started with the French onion soup which is truly the best that I’ve ever had and Amanda mentioned that to me before then we had oysters and we had a fabulous salad and my husband had the lobster that was just out of this world.

If any managers read this, you should take Amanda and her husband aside and gratefully, thank them for working at your restaurant. I didn’t mention that those receptionist when I came back 25 minutes later, we’re all taking selfies with their antler ears on as clients were coming in and out of...

What a wonderful dining experience! My husband and I were visiting from Michigan and we ate here with a friend. The food was delicious and it was difficult to decide what to get because everything sounded delicious. I am also gluten free, but I had no issues here. Most items on the menu are gluten free or can be made gluten free. They also have gluten free desserts which are the eclair and creme brulee. French food is my favorite cuisine and this place did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful, cooked to perfection, and beautifully displayed. I had seen a few reviews mentioned that the waiters cleared the food before they were finished. These are actually bus boys and didn't know. We were very assertive with them and they left our items. I figured out they were bus boys since they were wearing a different color apron and didn't know anything about the menu. We asked them about the desserts, but had no idea. They were young boys, probably high school so that is understandable. We asked the bus boys for a coffee, but never got it. Besides that, our waiter was excellent and helped us to select the best entrees and desserts for our needs. The only other thing that could of been improved was the noise level. I don't know why but we had to talk loudly to hear each other at the table. Not sure if it was because we were indoors, but there were not that many peopled near us. Parking is also limited, but behind in the alley is valet parking for $10. I also heard that they have lunch specials where you get a three course meal for $40. Expect to pay $60 to $75 per person with drinks (not wine) and desserts. Desserts can be shared. They are quite large and filling. Overall and...
