What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Food & Thought is praised for its exceptional food quality, friendly and attentive staff, and unique, enchanted dining atmosphere. Diners particularly love the fresh, organic ingredients and the creative, health-conscious menu options. While most experiences are positive, some guests have noted that prices can be a bit high, and there have been isolated incidents of poor service and food quality concerns.
"Very friendly staff, everything is fresh and nicely organized. It was great finding products I normally have to order online, and was surprised to find seasonal produce I’ve been looking for here too (lychee and so delicious!).
I had the elder edge smoothie and an iced latte from the cafe, absolutely delicious. I’m a coffee snob so I loved that they used organic beans and they have top quality ingredients here too (like organic Ceylon cinnamon and organic malk almond milk)"

"Unfortunately the service here is pretty bad. I live and work in Naples full time all year around. I order lunch almost every day here and I sit towards the front tables because I’m on my laptop making client calls and don’t want to disturb anyone at a neighboring table. But the food service/cash register staff said “that’s too far for them to take the food and they don’t do that” when I’m literally sitting at the front entry walkway on their tables outside it’s not like I’m across the street, and then they purposely take over 30 mins to bring out the food so I’m forced to come up to pick up my cold food at the register to eat there because it’s been sitting there. So frustrating. And to be helpful I always put back my finished plates on the service station dishwasher tray in the back I never leave my dirty plates at the table."
