The Chilean sea bass and Chicken Oscar were delicious! Matt was our server and he was top notch. He gave us a local perspective on the lake and the area as well as excellent wine and dinner recommendations. We will definitely come back!

Fantastic food and service by Greg. We had a party of 14 and the food was great. I had the sea bass with shaved Brussels sprouts and green beans. Highly recommend when out at Smith Mountain Lake.

Great restaurant on Smith Mountain Lake. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was great- seafood was fresh and tasty especially the jumbo crab cakes. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

This is the best fine dining experience we have had in a long time! As a matter of fact I can’t remember the last time we had food and service this great! Our waiter Matt Allen, had a great sense of humor and his attention to our dinning experience was exceptional. If you are fortunate enough to book a reservation, you will definitely hit the lottery!

Staff were very friendly and we were seated quickly. The fried calamari was a great appetizer and my wife’s Chilean Sea Bass was amazing! Unfortunately my beef fillet was heavily charred, leaving a burnt taste after each bite. It looked like the bearnaise sauce was trying to hide how charred the fillet was. I will definitely get the sea bass next time.

Napoli By the Lake is the perfect spot! They are overlooking the lake and have plenty of slips if coming by boat. We made reservations for Valentine’s and were given a table next to their large windows. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. The hosts were very welcoming and greeted us immediately. Our server was very personable and gave her recommendations. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer and it came out delicious. For our meals, my husband had steak and lobster and I had the Blackened Mahi over sweet mash with asparagus. We chose the crème brûlée for dessert and that was perfect as well!Their menu has something for everyone – from salads, steaks, seafood, to vegetarian options.
We drove about an hour and we cannot recommend this enough!

Great food!! Calamari and crab dip were awesome and the main entrees, especially the scallops were delicious. Kids entrees were huge and they had a fresh assortment of fruit, coloring pages and cute kids cups to take home. Definitely would return!!

It was our first time at Napoli and wow, what an amazing experience! We were seated right next to the windows overlooking the harbour with water views in the main dining area. We were promptly greeted by our server who was so kind and attentive. We started with the sticky shrimp. Absolutely mouthwatering! A must order app! Entrees included Chilean Sea Bass and their special Ahi-Tuna. Some of the best prepared and quality fish we have ever eaten! The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and rice were yummy!
They also have a really cool bar that’s separated by a door. We stopped by after dinner and enjoyed some drinks. Plenty of TVs to watch sports and 20 draft beers on tap!
If you’re looking for one of the best dining experiences on SML, this is THE place! Can’t wait to come back!

First, as a vegetarian, disappointing to see not even one vegetarian entree (a couple salads) on the menu. On the bright side, I asked for the cavatelli pesto dish with vegetables rather than meat, and it was delicious. My husband’s crab cakes were very good also. We felt the prices were reasonable. Would be nice to see cloth napkins rather than paper napkins. I found that odd. The rolls were also warm and tasty. Our service felt rushed even though it was 8pm. I would come again but for the lack of veg options.
