The food is delicious and so creative, a real gastronomic experience. In nice weather there are outdoor tables, otherwise there is a lovely dining room on the first floor.

What an incredibly delicious restuarant, highly recommend! The staff and chef were so helpful. We had the 5 course tasting menu and they were very accommodating. I do not eat meat but my husband does so one course I had grilled amberjack (cooked perfectly!) and he was served steak (best he had in Italy!). They also surprised us w an extra mini course and again I had a delicate but tasty cured fish and he was served pasta stuffed w ham. It was all unique and refined tastings. A nice change from more Italian food. They selected a wine for us that was also very special and perfect for meal.

Our party were made to feel very welcome from arrival at the restaurant . The service throughout was exemplary; informative and friendly. The food was first rate being tasty and beautifully presented, supported by an excellent Falanghina recommended by the sommelier.

Order was mismanaged with entrees coming out at different times and taking way too long.

Good service but while some dishes were excellent, others were very mediocre. The service was very good. Overpriced.

We went for New Year’s Dinner and everything went according to our preferences and I would even say that my expectations were surpassed. Friendly and competent staff, excellent food and a cosy environment. Would love to go again on my next visit to Neaples!

Refreshing menu in center of Naples! very good wines and excellent food for the value. we went twice in a few days and enjoyed both the service, setting and the food. of course given the size of the kitchen the wait time was some for our large table and of i think not all deserts are there where expected (but the cheesecake is!), but overall a very enjoyable experience that we gladly recommend.

Beautiful gastronomic discovery in this restaurant, where in the 7-course menu, I found creativity, technique and emotion in the dishes. My favorite dish was the tomato carpaccio with basil sorbet, because the taste of each preparation was intense with a beautiful balance of seasoning. The desserts are at a level below the dishes. I will definitely come back to taste the other dishes on the menu. The service is attentive with a clear explanation of the dishes. The wine selection goes well with the dishes.

Essencia was by far the best restaurant during our trip to Italy. Food was outstanding without the tricks (foams, nitrogen freezing etc) you find in top end restaurants. Waitstaff was wonderful, explaining each dish in detail and cost of the meal with wine was very reasonable.

This restaurant seems to be underrated after reading some of the reviews on Trip Advisor, though it is more highly rated on The Fork. My wife and I had a very enjoyable and delicious experience. While the menu offers choices for those who are less adventurous, those who wish to try new combinations of tastes and methods of preparation will find this restaurant to be delightful. The service by Valerie and Natalia was excellent, as was Natalia’s knowledge of wines.
