How we rank restaurants
Our editors rank the list. They weigh what diners say (each restaurant's Google rating, counted for more the more people have reviewed it) with what a rating can't show: whether it's a destination worth the trip, its setting, our Editors' Picks and the guides in which the editors at Visit Naples recommend it.
Featured restaurants are partners of the Visit Naples network, shown in turn in the Featured row and labelled wherever they appear. Partnership never buys a place in the ranked list; it only breaks a near-tie.
