The Menu
The menu highlights fresh seafood, sustainable proteins, and local vegetables, with a focus on whole ingredients and from-scratch fare. The restaurant incorporates the true wellness ethos of Greek cuisine. Violí expands on LÝRA’s lineup of fan favorites with the addition of classic Greek taverna-style dishes with a thoughtful approach. The restaurant also places a focus on roasted, baked and braised items traditionally found in tavernas all over Greece.
The Chef
Violí has partnered with the Greek culinary superstar, Chef Athinagoras Kostakos. The award-winning, internationally-acclaimed Chef will apply island cooking techniques. Simple dishes with bold flavors that rely on the quality of their ingredients rather than overly complicated sauces are a highlight of the cuisine served.
The Space
A Mykonian escape in North Naples, Violí encompasses a 6,500-square-foot interior and an open-air, 1,500-square-foot patio. Violí represents a Greek taverna—casual, welcoming, and rooted in the spirit of shared dining. A spacious main bar connects to an elevated dining room that anchors the experience, while the expansive outdoor terrace—accented with lush floral elements—offers an inviting atmosphere for al fresco dining, cocktails, and relaxed gatherings. With seating for 300 indoors and 50 outdoors, the space is designed to feel both immersive and approachable, bringing a taste of the Aegean to the Gulf Coast.
