Nestled in the heart of Naples, Florida, this farm-to-table restaurant takes pride in crafting exceptional dishes that showcase the best of local ingredients. Owner and Executive Chef, Jeff Mitchell, works  closely with local ranchers, farmers, sea mongers, and artisans to source products with integrity and flavor. The Local was inspired by Florida’s abundant local bounty and long growing season.
