When it comes to dining, there are gems hidden all around Pine Ridge Estates, our favorite True Food Kitchen which blends farm to table ingredients with ‘organic whenever possible’. Looking for a trendy sushi house, check out Namba Naples or the broad choice of dining options at nearby Mercato. Here, among the variety of stores and entertainment, you can find an option for every taste, with highlights including Rocco’s Tacos, The Pub and The Capital Grille.

Mercato also provides great choices for a quick selection, coffee at Narrative Coffee Roasters offers something different while a snack at Grain de Café is a great way to start the day. If your idea of a perfect day begins with coffee, and then moves on to a touch of retail therapy, then Mercato has you covered again. Whether it is a big store addiction at Nordstrom Rack, or boutique shopping at Tommy Bahama, you will surely get lost in time walking Mercato. Before heading home, grab your produce and groceries at Whole Foods.

Mercato has you covered for an evening out as well, Silverspot Cinema is unlike any theatre I’ve been to, or if cocktails peak your interest, Blue Martini and The Hampton Social always have a great crowd to be among (more Restaurant info). Like to smoke cigars or listen to live music? Burn is one of a kind, featuring Rocky Patel cigars and atmosphere. Those looking for a slower evening out The Naples Players, The Gulfshore Playhouse or Artis Naples will have a nice selection to chose from. During the day, Naples art scene thrives, you are never far away from an exhibition, gallery or art sale; 5th Avenue Art Galleries, 3rd Street South Art and the Naples Art District are great places to start (more Naples Art Scene info).
