Flavors of 5th Returns with Expanded Dining Lineup

Fifth Avenue South Partners with Beverly’s Angels for Summer Fundraiser

Naples, FL (July 10, 2025) — After a standout debut, Flavors of 5th is back—and bigger than ever. Fifth Avenue South proudly announces the return of its highly anticipated Flavors of 5th prix fixe dining event, building on last year’s incredible momentum and surpassing expectations with expanded offerings and greater community impact.

The inaugural 2024 event raised nearly $12,000 for local nonprofit Beverly’s Angels, and this year promises to top that amount. From July 14 through August 28, 2025, 17 premier restaurants—up from 10 in 2024—will offer exclusive prix fixe dinner menus that spotlight the rich culinary talent along Naples’ most iconic avenue.

For every prix fixe meal sold, participating restaurants will once again donate $1.00 to Beverly’s Angels, an organization dedicated to supporting Naples' essential workforce and their families, especially during the holiday season.

“Last year proved that purposeful partnerships can spark real change,” says Meg Stepanian, Executive Director of the Fifth Avenue South BID. “With even more restaurants involved this year, we’re proud to grow this flavorful tradition and continue empowering those who make our district shine.”

The 2025 participating restaurants include:

Aqua, Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro, Bistro 821, Caffé Milano, Chops City Grill, Del Mar Naples, The French Brasserie Rustique, Keewaydin’s, Le Colonial, Lola 41, Ocean Prime, Osteria Tulia, Ottimo Cucina and Bar, Pazzo! Cucina Italiana, Sails, Truluck’s, and Vergina Restaurant.

The prix fixe menus not only offer an exceptional value for guests but also provide meaningful support to local employees—many of whom are juggling multigenerational responsibilities and typically travel hours to and from their places of work.

The idea for Flavors of 5th was born when Beverly’s Angels first connected with the BID in 2024 to bring holiday joy to local workers through its “Dear Santa” initiative. That initial idea grew into a full-scale dining campaign that now fuels year-round goodwill.

“Thanks to Flavors of 5th, we were able to deliver nearly 70 Santa Sacks to deserving families last year,” shares Faith Schwalback, Founder of Beverly’s Angels. “Our mission is to help every child feel the magic of the season—and to uplift the everyday heroes who rarely ask for help. We’re thrilled to be a part of Flavors 2.0!”
