Vincenzo Betulia, the award-winning and nationally recognized Chef-Partner of Naples' acclaimed restaurants Osteria Tulia and Bar Tulia, opened “The French,” Naples' first quintessential French brasserie in January 2017. Trained in traditional French cuisine and having gained a transformative affinity and appreciation for French cuisine while working with renowned Chef Paul Bartolotta at the James Beard Award-winning restaurant, Lake Park Bistro in Wisconsin, Chef Vincenzo has long sought the opportunity to display his French cooking techniques at what he now describes to be the “perfect” location. Paying homage to authentic Parisian brasseries at the turn of the 19th Century, The French transports guests to a sophisticated yet bustling atmosphere and features a brasserie rustique menu inspired by classic country and coastal French dishes.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at The French. It was a fabulous and memorable experience! Everything was perfect -- nice ambiance, attentive and knowledgeable waiter, great drinks, creative menu -- delicious food from starters to dessert! We can't say enough in praise of a restaurant that values its patrons and delivers such a fantastic experience.

Could not wait to try and we were not disappointed. Starting with appetizers that were delicious and entrees that were perfect. We will certainly be going back again. Thank you!

This is our third visit to the French this spring, and each time the food has been more disappointing. While the seating outside is the best on 5th Ave., the cuisine has begun to suffer for whatever reason. Each of the dishes we had were poorly plated, and their "Sunday special" of boulllabasee came in a dish that was the size of a cereal bowl, and was probably the poorest example of this dish that I have ever had. It really should not have been served. We have always enjoyed the outdoor seating, but not again.

My wife and I dined with another couple that we hadn't seen in a while. The atmosphere was very pleasant and we had time for conversation over drinks before ordering. All the meals were very good and the service was prompt, but respectful of our time.

Our third time at this restaurant. Really love the outdoor space. Food is traditional French. Great ambiance. Reasonably quiet on the outdoor patio.
