Best Italian Restaurants in Iona

First time at this establishment with friends from Naples. The food and service was excellent! We will definitely return. My friends commented that it was worth the hour drive.

Our waiter Matthew was amazing .. you know you’re in a good place when the staff is enthusiastic and happy! Great experience with first timers there! Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Win-win all the way around. 

We started with a cocktail at the bar. I had an espresso martini and my husband had a vodka martini straight up with a twist. Both looked beautiful and were delicious. For dinner we started with a special for the evening, a lobster cocktail over avocado and mango. Scrumptious, My husband had a spicy crab over pasta, and I had the seafood risotto. The portions were ample and tasted incredible. Our server was wonderful. She was efficient, helpful and sweet. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant and worth the splurge.

Service was great and the food exceptional. The grilled octopus appetizer 20/10. I had the chefs special branzino with stuffed crab and risotto. 100/10.

Our server Amanda was outstanding. She greeted us at the front door and showed us to the water view table that I had requested. We had another couple join us for our 48th wedding anniversary dinner. The food, atmosphere and service were all perfect! It was our first visit to Next Door, but it certainly won’t be our last! I highly recommend it!!
