In addition, the menu will have a decidedly French wine list with great selections by the glass representing the major regions including Bordeaux, Provence, Chablis, Beaujolais, Burgundy, etc., craft beers, and craft cocktails in the tradition of a French brasserie.
Chef Vincenzo and his two outstanding restaurants, Osteria Tulia and Bar Tulia, also in downtown Naples are Golden Palate award winners, and Fred Bollaci Enterprises’ inaugural Charter Member in the Naples area!
Vincenzo is a very passionate chef, who clearly loves what he does, and has elevated the Naples dining scene substantially with Osteria and Bar Tulia, and he will no doubt continue this pioneering trend with The French! When in Naples, be sure to check out The French as well as Osteria and Bar Tulia, tell Chef Vincenzo Fred Bollaci sent you, and bon’ appetit!
