    Napolese offers exceptional pizza with a perfect blend of crispy crust and fresh ingredients. The restaurant provides great value for money, with generous portions and reasonable prices. A reservation is recommended on weekend evenings. The only improvement could be the addition of more cocktail options.

    Party of 5, Great Meal! Had Burrata toast & meatballs as apps (work well together) and we each ordered a pizza (mine was Hammaker + jowl bacon+ red peppers) and we all loved them with most taking 1/2 home. Pro-tip, although we ate in the wine bar (21+) side. Only 3 red wines were on the menu, all being $50 plus bottles. The "family" side had much more and much cheaper wine selection. (got a great $25 bottle of Nero d'Avola on that side). I find it annoying that I had to go over to that side and then ask for bottle pricing but our server appeared at my side and was most helpful. Still, I wonder why this set up exists. We were there Saturday 11/16

    Service was great! We split two salads and two pizzas as a group of 4. Salads were just ok (split a beet and a Caesar) but pizzas were good!

    No longer has a vegan cheese option! Otherwise, the food is decent and it's a nice ambiance.

    The food was hot and tasty and delivered without delay. Our server Miguel helped us with our wine selection which was superb. A must in the MK neighborhood.

    We made plans for a quick meal before a 7pm show at Butler’s Clowes Hall. Our 5:15p resi was honored and we were quick to get seated and drinks ordered. However with increased patrons the service slowed and at 6:25p we had to ask for the 2 salads we ordered for dinner and honestly should have just paid out…the salads arrived at 6:30p and we had 5 min to grab a few bites before having to leave. Food was great but very slow service for the food ordered.

    We ordered an appetizer and bottle of wine, and that went well. However, the pizza took a very long time. We asked about it and were told the restaurant was very busy. (We had a reservation for 6 pm). The server made several excuses and finally the manager came and explained the order had never been put in. We had finished the bottle of wine by the time the pizza came. We ordered the hammaker and the classic. The first was very good but the classic had very little cheese and was a little dry. The manager did comp one of the pizzas but overall, a disappointing evening.
