The only place in Naples and Southwest Florida where you can sample delicious homemade dishes from Romania, Hungary and Northern Italy. Cabage Rolls, Paprikas, Gulyas, Pierogi, Wiener Snitzle and so much more all made from scratch. That's real food for the soul!

Opened in the fall of 2009 by sisters Cori and Daniela Craciun, the restaurant is the lifelong dream of Chef Daniela. The siblings are originally from the Transylvania region of Romania which borders Hungary. Daniela moved from Romania to Italy where she fell in love with the northern cuisine and began her formal training. Meanwhile, Cori moved to Hungary before discovering Naples during a trip to the United States. She knew it was where she wanted to live and suggested to Daniela they open a restaurant here. After twenty years apart the sisters were reunited in Naples and began their journey to turn Daniela's Restaurant into what it is today.
