Westport Restaurant Guide

Napoli sul Fiume (Naples by the River) is located in a historic building in downtown Westport, Connecticut, flanked by the Saugatuck River and just down the block from the international headquarters of Save the Children.

The restaurant is at the corner of the Post Road (Rt. 1) and Riverside Avenue, also called Wilton Road and Rt. 33, and offers diners not only extraordinary cuisine, but also provides valet parking, and as the weather turns to spring and summer, will open its famed outdoor patio that overlooks the Saugatuck River.

Napoli sul Fiume provides fine Northern Italian cuisine in a cozy interior that reminds diners of a lovely restaurant in Europe. New tables, furnishings, flooring, daily floral arrangements, and art provided by the Westport River Gallery, all add to the experience.

The menu features homemade pastas, fresh fish, innovative meat dishes that include veal scaloppini topped with crabmeat, asparagus and Fontina cheese in a Cognac sauce, rack of lamb with a green peppercorn and Cognac sauce, and Chateaubriand. Chef Segundo Uzcha, formerly with Il Mulino and Bellucci restaurants in Manhattan, creates daily specials, including two fish entrees, three appetizers and a pasta dish in addition to the restaurant's extensive offerings.
