Elegant Naples restaurant advice? (Bonita Springs, Sanibel: spring break, homes, wedding)

[summers19]

My parents' 50th wedding anniversary is next week. I'd like to send them to a very elegant restaurant to celebrate (I'm from out of town so I don't know a lot of restaurants in Naples).

Any advice on elegant, romantic, delicious restaurants? Price is not a concern.

Thanks!

I love Osteria Tulia, 466 5th Avenue South,FL 34102, 239-213-2073
This is the best place I have come across, the food is amazing...you will need to book ahead.

Or Bleu Provence, 1234 8th St. South, TEL: 239-261-8239
Fantastic French cuisine with the best choice of wines.

With the plethora of restaurants in Naples area, it can be overwhelming, and add in opins, and it's like asking for a good stock tip,

But, 14Homes' two suggestions were good ones, imo.

Osteria Tulia is very good Italian, though I wouldn't call it 'elegant' if the OP is looking for what most would define as elegant. Tulia is/can be very noisy, but good joint.

Bleu Porvence is French, fwiw, a bit pretentious, but first class joint in the several times we have been there, (guests in town that wanted to treat/fancy joint target).

Both need rez's and quickly; good Naples restaurants are packed until post Easter.

And, to add more confusion of choices, Trip Advisor list of med-higher priced joints in 'Old Naples', eg downtown:

Thanks, everyone. I thought I would purchase a gift certificate to a restaurant so they can use it on their own time, not on their actual anniversary date.

I will look into those recommendations.

On a side note, I love the Bonita Springs area and look forward to our upcoming spring break in a few weeks. We're staying in Sanibel a few days, then at the Hyatt at Coconut Point. Can't wait to live down there in a few years!
