Great, mature service, delicious European dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a good selection of wines and spirits.
It’s a calm and sophisticated vibe with timber tables/bar and dark tones, where you can have a private conversation with friends of business contacts without ever being overheard. The high ceilings mean you can sit up on the balcony upstairs and glance out over the bar and the laneway and watch the world go by.
A real hidden gem of Melbourne. Impeccable
choice of music as opposed to try hard trendy bars. Enjoying the 'don't you want you me baby' while sipping the best old fashioned ever ❤

Neapoli is one of those Melbourne institutions that is just perfect in every way. Tucked away in a nondescript laneway, this oasis is heavenly for those looking for that little bit of Europe in Melbourne. Just like a French bistro, Neapoli serves great wine and food at cute little tables inside and outside. The deck area is lovely on a Summer's day, glass of wine in hand and a few plates to share amongst friends.
Inside is a gorgeous bar area, and there are cosy tables upstairs. The atmosphere is cosy and warm, and service is impeccable. You couldn't find a friendlier place. I love to come here for coffee and cake in the morning, and for wine and tasting plates in the afternoon and at night. The perfect place for a cosy date, or a get together with friends, Neapoli covers both groups with ease. They also have heavenly desserts, and the wine list is varied, with something for everyone. This is the place to escape to when you want to relax and wind down after a long day, and it is definitely one of my favourite spots in Melbourne.
Popped in for Lunch today. Just managed to get a seat. Tables stilled up quickly.Service was good. Started off with croquettes. Tasted good,but only came with x3. We had to order another serve as we felt the serving was not enough. The waitress forgot to put the second serve through and we were waiting for some time.
I had the burger and colleague ordered the broccoli pasta. Pasta was nice and lite and came with too many capers.
The burger appeared nice upon inspection but when picked up it was like squeezing a sponge, a lot of juices came pouring out the bottom which was abit if a turn off. The bottom bun was soggy and moist. Not the best burger going around melbourne. The hand cut chips were a nice touch and I was not offered any condiments. I can honestly say that I have had better at a fast food chain.
We finished off with coffee and hazelnut gelato.Coffee was served luke warm, however the gelato was great.👍
Overall a good experience, however the chefs need to review the burgers.
My review is entirely based on their coffee and gelato selection and the vibe.
We went here around 8pm on a Tuesday evening post dinner for a hot beverage and a sweet treat. We sat upstairs in mood lighting on wooden chairs with a relaxed vibe. The coffee was very Italian - not too milky and very robust yet delicious. The gelato reminded me of Italy. Their dark chocolate was truly dark with a hint of sweetness. Their yoghurt flavoured gelato tasted like barely sweetened high quality yoghurt. Refreshing, fresh and quality!
The smell of hot chips wafting from the nearby patron's table didn't go unnoticed. I'll be back for more.
Fantastic hidden gem of a bar right in the city. We've been frequent visitors to Neapoli for drinks and snacks. Love the cosy atmosphere and the menu. They have a great selection of cheeses available and for a decent price and their other menu items are also delicious.

We found ourselves in town the Sunday morning after the night before and needing to find a quick bite for breakfast. I was surprised at how many places I assumed would be open weren't. Neapoli Wine Bar was open however and had quite a few folk inside so thought we should give it a go. The all metal all glass classic frontage gives you the illusion that this place has been around forever. We dined upstairs away from the bar. The breakfast menu was quite limited but they had what I wanted which was bagels, bacon and eggs and I was in serious need of hydration so enjoyed a freshly squeezed juice. They actually had a juicer on site but I was after apple and so my freshly squeezed juice came in bottle form but I have no doubt about its authenticity. I've been the Neapoli wine bar in the evenings and enjoyed a glass or two before a dinner out. They have a great range of wines and on at least one occasions we were able to pick some amazing European wines thanks to my brother in laws boyfriend and wine expert. This out of the way place is definitely worth the short stroll down the laneway.
Superb. Always superb. Magnificent wine list, excellent eating, expert staff. What astounds me about Neapoli is that it makes you feel both elegantly sophisticated and entirely at home at the same time. Well designed and always welcoming. I love meeting friends there, or enjoying a glass of red alone after a long day – and inevitably meeting friends who are also drawn to the place. And what a delight to read all the other positive reviews – well, it's not surprising really.
"Do you trust me?".... "Yes I trust you." Not a titanic scene, just what the man said when I asked for wine. Celebratory 1st of Feb/end of Dry January wine night. The man with the beard was very considerate in first taking our wine order before getting into the cheese selections (yes, first things first). If anyone else is crazy enough to not drink for a month (I do not recommend this), come here after and these guys will look after you. Also that creamy cheese second one on the list, oh man, just give me a wheel of it. All in all, happy here always.
A nice casual bar with delicious tapas, we ordered the mini Margherita, buffalo mozzarella on bread and croquettes..not sure what was in the croquettes but I wanted more! Haha Service was excellent too, thanks guys, will be back soon.
Lovely little wine bar with cosy yet spacious interior. Interesting and well selected wines and simple yet delicious food. Prices very reasonable and service was friendly. New city spot for me.
Enjoying the vibes at Neapoli Wine Bar, where the intimacy and sophistication is much appreciated (it's quiet even on a Saturday night!). It's perfect for chats over some dishes and a lot of wine. The tasting plate was very ordinary and wasn't worth $29 but I recommend the grilled calamari dish served with wild rice and lemon. This place isn't ideal for a meal per se, but the vibe here is great for some drinks and nibbles.
Only stopped in for one drink, but they have a big wine and beer selection, food menu looks interesting. Will definitely be going back.
A hidden gem in the city on Russell Place. Duck in for a tasty breakfast. The fruit salad is a must try, as are the poached eggs. Add a freshly squeezed orange juice to finish off breakfast (or brunch).
Cute and good selection of wine. Grenache was lovely! In a hidden little alley.
Great for a coffee meeting or dining for a small group. Great standard menu, and the specials change often and are equally delicious. I love their unusual flavoured gelati selection in summer. Would give 5 stars if I hadn't found a hair in my food on two separate occasions.
A nice place to meet with friends and have a drink. We went on a Saturday afternoon (1600) and the place was quiet - as we like it - and sat in a cosy corner upstairs. I had an espresso, which I would not recommend on the basis of it not tasting nice, some wine, which was nice, and a little snack. The prices are a bit high, especially the food, but the staff were quite friendly and accommodating to our requests.
Great wine selection and staff know what they're talking about - its the type of place that makes me love Melbourne.
Only sad thing is that they as a venue chose to let smokers keep smoking outside and so banned eating, which means we couldn't even get some olives to go with our rosé. For that reason only I give 4 stars otherwise I'd give 5 for sure
