This visit was no exception. If you aren't familiar with this elegant bistro, consider checking it out at lunch. A few items duplicate those on the dinner menu, but at lower prices. In addition, Alexander's offers a relaxing, chic ambience that's not easy to find at noon in Naples. Alexander's sports an attractive Mediterranean-style look, with a hunter green, lemon yellow and vibrant coral color scheme.
Chandeliers are verdigris, and the posies on tables are fresh.
Soft classical music plays in the background. The restaurant's bisque is one of the best in town, intensely flavored from long simmering. My guest's veggie soup was a far cry from the bland stuff in the familiar red and white can. A wide variety of vegetables was chopped chunky-style, in a rich broth. Soups are definitely a forte.
