    This was our first time at a Napoli and I’m not sure why I’ve never been before. We were on the second floor and it was packed but the ambiance was fun. I didn’t feel claustrophobic at all, which is saying a lot for me. The food was good and the cocktail menu was amazing. My husband got the shrimp which was good and the ceviche which was great. I got the clam chowder with puff pastry which was really filling and delicious and an appetizer for my main course. We’ll definitely be back.

    We always enjoy dining here and once again did not disappoint. To begin with the do have good happy hour special in the bar. Keep that in mind. Dinner was great service & food. Loved the lasagna and we had the sea bass special. It was great but for $70 I would suggest asking the price of the special before ordering. Or the waiter could have shared that info. Regardless, we love dining out for nice food $ service. We prefer dining here rather that Bristol’s.

    Food was amazing, only way to make it better is to give a few more Ravioli with the appetizer, they give you a solid amount but they were so good I needed more. Filet was well above a standard restaurant steak, nicely seared. Truffle fries were also very satisfying.

    I came here on a Tuesday night with some friends. We sat on the third floor, which was full, but not packed. It was quiet when I got there at 6 PM and I was concerned we would be too loud for the room. But the volume of the room matched our volume by the time we left. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. They came by when we needed them, but weren’t constantly there. And the food here is excellent; I don’t think you can order a bad dish here. We started our drinks with a wine flight, and really liked the red blend best. It was an excellent dinner overall.
