neighborhood: Naples Island

Chianina Steakhouse starts with great steak, but that’s not where it ends. We’re intimately connected to our Italian culture, and when you dine with us, we want you to share in that connection. It’s about tradition. It’s about enjoying life and sharing good meals, good wine, and good experiences. This is the spirit in which we serve our signature steak, the bistecca alla fiorentina—to be shared among friends. Chianina is more than a steakhouse. It’s a carefully curated menu resulting in a creative culinary experience.

Michael Dene opened his namesake restaurant, Michael’s On Naples, near his Long Beach, California, home in 2007. Under the toque is Chef Eric Samaniego, formerly of Little Sparrow, with Massimo Aronne serving as general manager and sommelier. This contemporary Italian dining destination has a new reimagined Rooftop Lounge with a more casual and shareable menu that is separate from the fine dining taking place downstairs. Beneath a veil of stars and retractable roof is also a 14-seat horseshoe-shaped bar and conversational deck warmed by fire pits. Downstairs has also been updated with a new color palette, high top tables adjacent to the bar, and gallery of artwork in the cozy Chef's Gallery. The menu upstairs and downstairs boasts sustainable and locally produced ingredients with sauces and cheeses made in-house. The award-winning restaurant is open nightly for dinner with Happy Hour is offered daily from 5-7pm daily, including weekends.
