Another Naples restaurant will co-star on a popular Food Network show.

Guy Fieri filmed a segment for his Food Network show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" at The 239 Naples in The Mercato outdoor shopping venue.

It will air at 9 p.m. Friday, May 23.

More than a cool name

The 239 Naples, 9108 Strada Place, opened in The Mercato on May 2022.

The bright space, formerly Zoës Kitchen, offers a breezy vibe in the popular outdoor shopping venue.

The 239 offers gluten-free Thanksgiving meals.

Reunited colleagues who first worked together in Fort Myers early in their culinary careers a decade ago joined forces to open The 239 Naples.

It was Kanerva who hired Holdridge in 2012 as his line cook when he was top toque at Paseo Fort Myers. Holdridge eventually succeeded Kinerva there as executive chef.

Holdridge in 20216 went to Fort Myers Beach’s Bayfront Bistro as front-of-house manager; and Kanerva headed to the Verandah Golf Club in Fort Myers, where he worked as food and beverage director until October 2021.

"We are very excited that our locally sourced concept with many gluten-free options and no seed oils is being featured on Triple D," said Ray Corallino, The 239 Naples' general manager/beverage director, referring to the nickname of Fieri's show.

Guy Fieri knows Naples

It seems Guy Fieri can't get enough of Naples. The Food Network chef and TV personality already has featured five Naples restaurants on Triple D.

They are The Local; The Rooster Food + Drink; Molto Trattoria; Cracklin' Jacks; and Mykonos Kuzina.

Fieri visited The Rooster last November, and while he was in town, attended an event at Total Wine & More in North Naples in support of his and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar’s Santo Spirits brand.
