Naples 15

by Charley Gurhartz

Naples 15 is one of the best Italian spots in the Madison area. Located in a great location, right off of the same block as the Wisconsin Capitol Building, this softly lit joint offers authentic Southern Italian cuisine with a vast and delicious menu, suitable for an enjoyable meal for everyone.

Immediately when you walk into the restaurant, the vibes are high and customers feel like they are dining in Italy. The room is dim, with Italian folk music in the background, and the traditional Italian paintings on the wall.

There is nothing not to love about the menu, as customers have a large selection to choose from, ranging from appetizers, entrees and desserts. The most popular dishes include pro- sciutto squares, the margherita and hot salami pizzas, truffle risotto, and the loch duart salmon alla puttanesca. Although many find themselves to be full after such a mouthwatering meal, the dessert menu makes you want more, as no one can deny their orange ricotta and unlimited amounts of pastries.

If it is not evident enough, Naples 15, located on 15 N Butler St, Madison, WI 53703, is a meal that everyone living or visiting in the Madison area must try at least once. The crossover between a traditional Italian cuisine within the bustling city of Madison is something that makes this place so special. Who doesn’t want a little taste of Italy right on their college campus?
