Modern steakhouse replaces TGI Fridays

NAPLES — A husband-wife restaurant ownership team recently opened their third spot in Naples, and fourth on the west coast of Florida, with Dorona Steakhouse.

The couple, Chef Fabrizo and Ingrid Aielli, already own and operate Sea Salt, a modern-style seafood concept and Barbatella, a regional Italian-themed restaurant. Both of those locations are on Third Street South in Naples. The Aiellis also operate a second Sea Salt in St. Petersburg.

The Dorona, at 2110 Ninth St. North, is on the site of the former Midtown Kitchen + Bar, which closed after operating 13 months, according to a statement. A TGI Fridays had been on the site for over 20 years, the statement adds. The Dorona theme is a modern and upscale Italian steakhouse.
