Patina Restaurant Group (PRG) is pleased to officially announce their renovation plans for Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria, located in the Downtown Disney District, to refresh the restaurant’s aesthetic and enhance the dining experience. Naples will be open throughout the course of construction.

A new outdoor bar will be the feature of an expanded patio with additional al fresco dining among all new landscaping. The building renovation includes an addition of a new all glass entry, welcoming guests to the first and second floor dining areas.

Inside, three new wood-burning pizza ovens will be installed and will be the focal point of the room. The second-floor dining area will feature an open kitchen as well as enhanced outdoor terrace dining.

The Naples experience is a full immersion into the dining of Southern Italy – from the food and wine to the décor. Authentic Neapolitan pizza is made the traditional way, with a textured, soft and charred crust. The pies are crafted using simple and delicious essential Italian ingredients, along with fresh local products.

The restaurant will remain open during construction and completed in three phases. The current menu of regional Italian specialties from Executive Chef Umberto Rubelli will still be fully available throughout the entirety of the renovation process. This will allow guests to continue enjoying their favorite Neapolitan pasta dishes, secondi, seasonal salads, Italian wines, and the bustling, yet relaxed atmosphere reflective of the restaurant’s namesake city.

Visitors can also expect Napolini, Naples’ fast-casual concept, to undergo a revamp during the latter part of construction. Napolini will stay open as well, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner to guests on the go in need of an authentic Italian quick bite. All renovations are slated to be completed in fall, 2018.

I'm glad they are removing the evil pizza clown. The place was looking dated and 1990's, like much of Downtown Disney.

Glad to see them update and modernize another big chunk of Downtown Disney.

Downtown Disney is becoming exactly what it should be; a hip dining neighborhood right next door to the theme parks and hotels.

They are really getting sloppy at their photoshop. I do like the new look though, to bad they didn't expand the second level portion

Sounds like they are doing something up there, remodeling and "enhancing". From the press release...

"The second-floor dining area will feature an open kitchen as well as enhanced outdoor terrace dining."

That is one awful rendering. Clone stamping gone wild so that a table and chair are just cut off. Light from every direction, with some people standing in sunlight. Off two-point perspective. Various levels of material finish quality. But hey, it has a trendy semi-transparent tree smack dab in the middle of it.

Funny, I've never been here. From the looks of the new outdoor patio bar this may have to change...

I never thought about it, but perhaps the Evil Pizza Clown is why I never wanted to eat there.
As someone unfamiliar with the brand and the character, I always just walked past the place while looking at the sign and wondering what on Earth that thing was supposed to be and why the company thought there was anything appealing about it.
