Naples Originals is a group of independent, locally-owned and operated restaurants who offer a broad range of culinary style, service and ambience. We believe that a vibrant, independent restaurant community enhances a city's culinary and cultural strength, and makes it a better place in which to live. We seek to raise awareness and patronage of independent restaurants as well as all locally-owned and operated businesses. Research shows that every dollar spent at a local, independent business returns three times more money to the local economy than one spent at a chain. It is our hope that you take a moment to think about this important issue and support all those things that make Naples — and your own hometowns — such a special place and a source of pride.
