Bella Napoli is one of our absolute favorite spots - great food, great service and everything you’d want in an excellent neighborhood spot. And whatever you do, don’t sleep on the excellent Italian wine list. I only wish less people knew about it so we could get a reservation more easily. Highly recommended.

It was our first time and really amazing! My girlfriend and I love tapas style, and Noko was on the list for a while. Marissa was sweet to hold our reservation while we were stuck in traffic, Julian was very attentive to our table, Kylie was a so sweet and even gave us free pineapple sorbet, and John gave me a call the next day to ask how our dinner was. I work in a luxury hotel and love to see amazing customer service!
