Dorona Italian Steakhouse

For a long time, I have been meaning to visit Dorona Italian Steakhouse in Naples, but I wanted to ensure that when I did visit was a special moment, where I could truly enjoy the experience of visiting a Modern Italian Steakhouse. Having two young kids, I knew that as much as I love them,

Marco Prime Steaks & Seafood

My wife and I spent two days and one night in Marco Island this past weekend for my birthday. We had family visiting from Boston and we thought it would be a good idea to have our own staycation in Marco Island, which is far enough to have a break, but close enough in case

Children’s Museum of Naples

My kids often visit the Children’s Museum of Naples when I am at work… but today, as I had the day off, I was able to visit the museum with them. Now this is not my first time here, but I had not been in a long time, and I forgot how much fun it

The Bug Terminators

Alright guys, whether at home or at your work place, you may have noticed some little pests that should not be there… and no, I am not talking about your kids, husband or co-workers! Living in a tropical place like Florida, dealing with unwanted bugs and rodents is part of life. Luckly, we

Vergina Restaurant

On the weekends, we like to give Mama a break and go out to lunch/dinner… and what place is better than 5th Avenue South on a beautiful Saturday in Downtown Naples! Vergina, was the place Mama selected today, as it had been a place we had yet to visit and with options for the entire

Komoon Thai, Sushi and Ceviche

Last night I had the honor to bring a guest to the awesome and stylish Komoon Thai Sushi & Ceviche Restaurant on Immokalee Road. Komoon, which has 3 locations, (Pine Ridge, Immokalee Road and Bonita Beach Road) has been in business for close to 10 years, serving a mix of Asian/Peruvian dishes.

LaMoraga

If you follow me on any of my social media channels, you know it’s not a secret that LaMoraga is one of my favorite restaurants in Naples. I visit the restaurant quite often and post the different dishes and drinks I have tried there. While I am a firm believer in trying new restaurants, I

Bean to Cup Coffee Lounge

If you love coffee as much as I do, you are certainly always looking for different types of coffees and coffee shops to try. I always pop in different coffee shops and try coffees with beans from different countries and prepared differently. The ambiance is always extremely important to me as well… I like to

Keewaydin’s on Fifth

The family and I love to try new places to eat and this past Saturday, we tried out the recently opened Keewaydin’s right on Fifth Avenue. This modern island fusion cuisine is an awesome choice on Fifth Avenue and great for families as well. We went for a late lunch on Saturday and we were

La Trattoria

I remember visiting Italy and as I walked from one of the tourist attraction to another, I remember wishing I could sit down and try every restaurant I saw on the way, they all looked so delicious… and when I finally got to try one, I was absolutely right, the food was out of this

Barbatella Trattoria

Having two young kids and no family in Florida, sometimes means that we take our kids on our dates, even on special dates like Valentine’s Day. We also have to go to lunch over dinner, otherwise things get crazy… So, I went online and made a reservation at Barbatella Trattoria for the four of us

Alda’s Diner

The family and I took a trip to Alda’s Diner for lunch yesterday and we absolutely loved it. Super nice place, very family oriented, with superb customer service and delicious food! I ordered the chicken gyro and it was super delicious. Fresh ingredients, perfect seasoning! The fries were also amazing especially with their homemade ranch!

Treasure Seekers Shell Tours

Growing up in Brazil and having gone to the beach as a young boy many times, I do not ever recall “shelling” with my family. After moving to Boston, my trips to the beaches were limited to a couple times in the summer and again, I do not remember even seeing shells in the beaches
