Wine Loft of Naples

This place is pretty trendy and I love the style they chose to design and decorate. I also love that they have my favorite Sauvignon Blanc by Cakebread! However, I wish they offered more options for tapas and it is pretty pricey!

Nice place, great atmosphere, and lots of good things to choose from on the menu. A bit pricey as most places in this area are but definitely worth every penny. Great place to take a small group and lounge under the loft while enjoying a few bottles of wine before going to Silverspot. Had a fig and prosciutto flat bread and it was delish. Our waitress Ichelle was young and professional and kept our groups needs met the entire time even during a busy happy hour kudos. If wine and atmosphere is your thing The Wine Loft of Naples is a must visit.

We were looking for that convivial wine bar vibe and discovered this on Unilocal.Cozy interior with conversation nooks, leather wing chairs, intimate corners and banquettes. Very left bank Paris.
We arrived at 6-​ish and had a good chat with the owner who recommended a new red from Chile.
The problem started about 7 p.m. after we ordered a light supper of lobster sliders (good amounts of lobster in very fresh tender rolls) and Italian soup and chicken and beef satay and finished with a perfectly glazed custardy crème brûlée — which took nearly an hour to arrive as did the white flight of Chardonnay, Chalk Hill — you’ll definitely get the creamy pear flavor. The Stag’s Leap Chardonnay was a bit more acidic, definite traces of minerality, bright apple. Not a fan of the Sauterne — too acidic and lime, cousin to Sauv Blanc.
Wines are great, setting tops, service abysmal.

I have been going to this place for years now and it is a great enviornment for sitting around with people in an easy listening music venue.

Wine Loft was a lot of fun! Had a group of six that sat upstairs in a booth area. Didn’t have room for all of us so they added a bench. Very accommodating.
Ordered appetizers — flatbreads, sliders and skewers. All very tasty.
And the dance floor was the place to be. Great band. It was a Saturday. Don’t know if it’s a normal event, so check their site ahead of time.

Bar hustle. Warning
I came at 5pm for happy hour. Service was THE worst. I was quite visible at the bar, but the blond, unsmiling bar maid took 10 min to deliver a simple, cold hummus app. And, that was after I flagged her attn away from drying glassware. She had no one else to wait on because other people had ordered and finished. I gave her cash and she returned with an unblinking up charge for a full priced drink. When I asked why I hadn’t recd a happy hour vodka cocktail, she said it wasn’t included in happy hour, despite the fact that I did not order Stoly. She even ran the bill under server «Ralph“s name, so who knows what else this lousy employee’s doing. I got the nerve to call her on this, and she finally smiled and refunded money, which necessitated the Mgr and her to visit me. Without apology, the Mgr told me she decided to adjust the tab and charge me for a happy hr drink. Wow. Here’s the second kicker. I watched them talk and count dollar bills at the register before the bar maid walked to me with my refund. O hail no. She still shorted me a buck. I was too disgusted with this Bar Magic that I left without tipping. It just overall left a bad taste with me for patronizing the Loft.

We had our Christmas party upstairs in the loft, and it was the perfect size for a group of about 20. Eric, the Chef is fabulous and he did a great job with helping us plan everything, as did the manager, Shellie! We had always thought of this as a bar, not a restaurant and booked this more for the atmosphere, but we would go back in a heartbeat for the food! It was amazing. Gourmet tenderloin sliders that were the best we’ve had. I’d recommend this for a girls night out as well, or just for dinner with a group, without sitting down at a formal table. They also have a great selection of wines and cocktails.

I really wanted to like this place. As an avid wine drinker and a huge fan of wine bars and really any place that has extensive «wines by the glass» options, I truly wanted to love my experience…
I however did not. I went with a colleague of mine who was treating for a light lunch and a glass of wine for happy hour. We probably arrived around 2:00, which I know isn’t a conventional time to eat (especially in Naples). We sat on the patio and there were maybe only 3 other groups in the bar but our waiter seemed to be the only staff in sight. He acted as both the waiter and bar tender and because of this he seemed spread way to thin, resulting in long wait times for requests and food delivery. In fact, the wait was so long for our wraps they were even comped.
This wasn’t the issue that bothered me most and prompted this review though. That was our waiters constant attempts to upgrade us to buy a bottle of wine. We had stated when we first sat down our intention to order just a glass of wine each but the incessant attempts to upsell a bottle really became bothersome.
Overall the food was decent, albeit a wrap but the service could use some work to improve guest experience.

Very fun atmosphere and a great selection of good wines by the glass. The cuisine was very good also. They have a nice selection that pairs well with the different wines.

The wine list is extensive and the server was very helpful with our choices. The cheese board was outstanding. The chicken skewers were under seasoned — not impressed. The caesar salad was under seasoned as well. The ahi tuna tartare was excellent. The tomato tower was unique and delicious. Dancing was very fun and the atmosphere is terrific. The live band was FANTASTIC. Definitely will return to this place next time we visit Naples.

I’m missing this place everyday. My go to spot in Naples. You cannot beat the HH specials.

Decided to go to Mercato for the night. Went to the wine loft and there was live music and the wine was delicious. Nice atmosphere for any age.

Wish I could give them 4 ½ stars. Bartender was outstanding. We both had the flatbread lunch special with salad. Both were very perfect. Sat outside with a nice breeze. Will come again for sure.

My friend and I were very disappointed with this restaurant. We both wanted a modestly priced glass of sauvignon blanc. Both of the lowest price offerings were unavailable and no alternatives were offered. My Friend ordered Ciopino. Rather than a tomato broth, the seafood was doused in a thick Sauce which overpowered the Seafood. Although the service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, the food was poor and overpriced.

Having dinner close by and looking online for a good place to have dessert, stumbled upon the Wine Loft. I was looking for their pumpkin bundt cake, to which when i went in they no longer had, BUT they had great live music going on. So we decided to stay a few and listen, ending up grabbing a few seats at the sofa by the band and heard their great oldies for about 2 hours. Had s delicious prosecco and danced the night away. Cant wait to go back to Naples and hit this great spot again. Loved the great vibe at the Wine Loft and the Mercato atmosphere.

I have been here twice for marketing events. I always come to this event. Nice classy place. But then again I am a biker type, so not my usual setting. I am also not a wine person so they advised me to try the Moscato.. A good beginners wine.. I drank it like soda pop.. I can’t wait for next event there.

Excellent service. Phenomenal selection, and an impressive interior! Loving this place!
Happy Hour: $ 15 two glasses of wine and a cheese plate!

Definitely an older crowd here. My friends and I are in our mid 20s, certainly the youngest people there, good place to start though. Cool vibe to the place, very mellow but with elegance thrown in. We sat upstairs where it’s smaller and less crowded. There were tables and couches and bar areas so seemed like plenty of spots to sit. We were always checked on by the waiter to make sure we were all set.
There was a guy singing when we first walked in and some people were dancing right in front so it was kind of awkward to go through them to get to the bar. Not the greatest dance spot.
Nice menu, reasonably priced and not crazy loud so we could carry on conversations.

Quaint little place to grab a drink with either your date or friends. The atmosphere is laid back and not too hectic like many of the surrounding bars. Wine list is impressive and the service is usually attentive. Probably one of my favorite places to go out in Mercato!

The Wine Loft is in within the heartbeat of the Mercato. If you’re looking to get away from the noise of other places and find an intimate vibe with a dash of casual elegance, you’ve found your place.
They have great live music to add to the ambiance, and it has plenty of open seating that lends itself to being social in a group setting or talking wine with a stranger. There is an array of couches, comfy chairs, cocktail tables, illuminated bar tables and even an actual loft to enjoy your night with a view from above. I don’t think that the pictures online do the nighttime glow much justice.
The staff is knowledgeable and shared with us that they have sampled pretty much every wine on the menu. I did notice that when it got busy, we did have to lend a longer arm to flag someone down; however, they do circulate quite often.
I was impressed with the wine selection and the appetizers that paired with the wine. I like the idea of their cheese plates with all the accoutrements, as well as their charcuterie board.
We had a fig and prosciutto flatbread — fig jam, prosciutto slices, goat cheese crumbles and mozzarella. Sound a little odd? It was absolutely perfect with our wine. As for the wine, we had a Pinot Grigio from Oregon. We ordered a bottle, but even if you order by the glass, I noticed that people had a generous serving.
I’m very impressed with The Wine Loft and will come and visit again. I highly recommend this place for a girls’ night out, date night, or even just to have a glass while people watching.
In short: Posh but non-​pretentious, Busy but intimate, fancy-​sounding menu choices but elegantly simple. Wine. Good.
