Imagine dining beneath twinkling lights, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, only minutes from the beach—it’s the kind of atmosphere that invites you to linger long after dessert.
Veranda E blends upscale service with the relaxed sophistication that defines Naples.

Paired with a selection from their curated wine list, it’s easy to see why both visitors and locals consider Veranda E one of Naples’ top fine-dining destinations.
For travelers, it’s a flawless way to elevate an evening. Watch the sunset on the beach, stroll along Fifth Avenue, then slip into Veranda E’s garden for an intimate dinner. Guests consistently praise the attentive service—staff go out of their way to make every meal feel special. Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a well-deserved night out, Veranda E offers an experience that’s indulgent, memorable, and distinctly Naples.
If you’re searching for a blend of romance, fine dining, and timeless Old Florida charm, book a table at Veranda E. It’s more than just dinner—it’s a highlight of any Naples vacation.
Why You Should Go:
Veranda E has one of the most varied menus I’ve seen around town. I’ve picked this spot for ambiance before, as the secluded patio dining by the lighted palm trees and upscale menu makes it perfect for a special occasion. You should expect an incredible meal—great presentation with balanced plates that are perfectly cooked, made complete by the magical setting. I recommend the Short Rib or Kung Pao Seafood for entrées.
